Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack
December 11th Bungie is releasing new maps for Halo 3, and they will cost you 800 MSpoints. Standoff, Rat’s Nest, and Foundry are the map names, and they should be implemented into matchmaking as they are launched.
“When Halo 2’s downloadable content joined the Internet, it effectively split the Matchmaking population into the “haves” and the “have-nots,” Bungie was readily aware of the problem that caused, and has rectified it in Halo 3″…..”Simultaneously all of the DLC maps will be rolled in to the regular Matchmaking playlists as well and then as folks are getting matched up, the game will take into account who has what maps in the matchmaking process.”
Lets hope for us “have nots” that this doesn’t make our lobby wait times any worse. Have not I say? Yes, I don’t plan on downloading the maps, even though I play way too much Halo for my own good. They plan on making the maps free to download in the spring, just when they are ready to unleash a few more maps. Do YOU think 3 maps are worth 800 points?? Compared to other recent DLC offerings this isn’t exactly a super value, so I’m waiting till the spring. You could argue that with the Forge capabilities the new maps are totally worth the price, but I still don’t have a custom games search, so I won’t be making that argument.

That wont work because when u file share a map it doesnt put the whole map on there it just puts the placements off the things that u put on it. so good luck doing it but im telling you it wont work.

Personally I am looking forward to trying these new maps out. The price seems a bit steep but not steep enough to put me off.

they should only charge $5.00 if anything at all i understand that in order to put new maps on halo3 it does cost money but with all of the gamers that will downloaad the maps and pay for them, they shoud make thier money back quick
