If so there'll surely be some sort of scandal on how games are teaching our kids to go on rampages on school trips. Although I remember said trip was lots of fun, add guns? Perfect.

I know some folks that will be jumping with excitement. They might just croak if this DLC takes too long to show. Some other pun involving 'hopping'.

Don't forget to tip your waitress!

Any vehicular map can work well with rocket race if you set it up correctly.

If the Halo 2 mappacks were any indication, Microsoft is going to release them as packs you have to pay for and then a few months later they will be free.

Is Microsoft going to have so much control over them, since Bungie is a free entity?

Probably, but one can still hope.

Um, isn't this info from last Friday's Bungie weekly update? I thought they had actually announced release dates or something. Don't get me so excited!

Yeah, this is no real news. They've also had stuff about some maps on previous weekly updates as well.

Yeah, not to be "OMG Joystiq r teh l8 newz!!1" but this is just last Friday's weekly Bungie update. This post got me excited that perhaps there were some recent solid details, but alas.

You can see Jodrell Bank from my window, if it wasn't night.

Be awesome if they recreated it for Halo 3 so I can have a go at how much of a poor attempt it was (if they're anything like the foreign mess-ups in Resistence and Folklore).

I think a playlist update with more variety would be a great improvement.

Also, I'd like to see them import some of the better maps from Halo 1 and 2, and not just crap them out like they did with the last two maps they put out for Halo 2.

I agree. And I think some game types should just be canned entirely. "One-sided VIP?" Seriously, what were they thinking? I've never played a match where the VIP has lasted more than a minute and a half; every single time it's a tie.

If it's one thing I'm disappointed in about Halo 3's multiplayer is the lack of variety. I remember 2 had at least a *bit* more variety than this. What happened to the game mode (forget the name) where you just get two random weapons with infinite ammo?

I'd like at least a little more variety. Adding more maps is a start, but let's see some more game modes. How about Rockets and Hammers? That would be kinda amusing. Or a game mode where you have infinite of all grenades? I've never even seen the fire grenade in multiplayer.

Come on! Something! I'm sick of playing VIP and territories all the damn time, and I'm too cheap to buy a new game!

I thought of something else too. VIP wouldn't be so bad if there was even SOME kind of variety in the game mode itself.

How come every time the VIP just has an overshield and that god-awful-worthless Magnum? Why not make it a little more random, sometimes giving the VIP a shotgun, or a rocket launcher. Or instead of simply having an overshield, give the VIP increased running and a higher jump. Or a one-hit-kill melee attack? That way you can't just run up and punch the VIP a few times to kill him, which is so horrendously lame.

VIP in the beta was actually kinda fun, because the VIP was almost OVERpowered, instead of UNDERpowered, so it actually took strategy and teamwork to take him out. But now it's just lame.

Sorry for the bitching and ranting, but I ALWAYS seem to get this game mode. It's gotten to the point where I don't veto anything unless it's VIP, fearing that if I veto, I'd just get VIP.

What about the assault rifle doesn't work? It's a serious improvement over the SMG and all the large maps have battle rifles liberally placed around the map. The only map which should really have a BR start is sandtrap, and even that is questionable.

...as well as a statement about how generic and replaceable Halo is for some, like myself. Not my thing, really... But if you like it, more power to you.
