That little voice inside my head is going:

"yes, Yes, YES, nooooooo" Oh well, at least if it releases, instead of hearing details I'd be a happier bunny ¬_¬

When the Legendary map pack comes out, the Heroic maps become free.

Yay for being so incredibly cheap. I'm anxiously waiting for the Legendary Map Pack to download Heroic ones.

I will probably buy the Legendary Pack, this way it feels like I get 6 maps for ten bucks.

"...is in no danger of going to the cybernetically-enhanced dogs"

actually, the drop from #1 to #2 says otherwise. while it's not that big a fall it's pretty significant when you consider just how long Halo 2 held the top spot (and continues to this day).

it's obvious why people are jumping ship to CoD4. the "heroic" map pack (takes a lot nerve to say that with a straight face) was a joke. three maps for $10 and all of a sudden you're down from the number one spot. that's not a coincidence and you think MS would've learned something from that.

instead what they're doing is fleecing fans (who've already poured millions into this franchise) with this bread crumb-bullshit of 3 maps for $10 while trying to absolve themselves by saying they'll be free in say oh...six or so months. that's not a choice people, that's a lack of options. there's a difference. and like any cause/affect scenario, gamers (like myself) have walked away from halo3 to CoD4.

like i said, it's no coincidence.

Just wait until they charge you $10 for CoD maps.

Well, according to Bungie, Microsoft was the culprit responsible for setting the 10$ price on the Heroic map pack. I'm just afraid the Legendary pack is going to be 10$ for another 3 maps. And just so it's out there, the CoD4 pack is 4 maps, I believe.

C'mon, 3 maps for 10 bucks? That doesn't even sound close to right. When Epic released their second map pack, wasn't it 4 for 10? And even Epic released some free maps to begin with. This is the biggest franchise on the 360 and we can't have some phree stuff?

Shitty Guitar Hero III puts out free stuff to sway all the Rock Band players, but we're still not biting.

I think that Bungie would do much better to release a free map or two at the same time as priced maps. This way, they could garner some interest from all halo fans, and who knows, maybe they'd change some minds about paying for maps.

Honestly. If you don't think that the price is worth it: Don't buy them then! They said they were going to be free eventually, so there you go. I bought the maps when they first came out because I thought they'd be good. I basically payed 10 bucks for Forge. And like Arby n' the Chief's Arbiter said, the sandbox idea should have been something that shipeed with the game. I don't see how releasing 2 "meh" maps and 1 cool one for 10 dollars could've been the culprit of the move from 1 to 2. I think people just prefer CoD 4's multiplayer to Halo 3. Theres a whole lot more weapons, multiplayer is more balanced, theres alot more potential to it. And most of all- Halo 3's got some freaking morons playing.
Anyway, It's good that the Legendary maps are coming out, because people will be able to get the first ones for free, especially Forge. I'm still going to buy the new maps, because even If they might not be that good, at least its new.

I feel the maps could be less of a cost, but we have Microsoft to blame for that. I do like the spacing of the maps, 3 months is almost perfect for new content. And seeing as there are 2 maps we know of that aren't making this pack, it's easy to see yet another map pack in the near future.

As for "cottonball" i'm hoping it's a remake of Ice Fields from Halo PC. Any Halo PC exclusive map would be great.

the only map really worth it was standoff and forge just because you could make any kind of map. These new maps however look to be even better than the last ones and if theres a scorpian tank AND a hornet on the snow map its gunna have to be as big as Valhalla if not bigger and probably will contribute to hours of exciting gameplay

Well, the new maps have been revealed and there are some footage of the new maps on the marketplace, all free of course.
Ghost town: In africa, on the outskirts of a jungle, can do alot of cool stuff on forge there like changing the environment colour.
Avalanche: As you all know a classic remade of Sidewinder from Halo C.E, Can put proper sniper towers on that level.
Blackout: Also classic remade from halo 2's Lockout
Based on a weather station on the outskirts of antartica.
Very cool maps and are out this tuesday.
I'm definately going to be paying for these.

Bungie has stated on there website that there is no chance of the these maps ever becoming free. So nows the time to buy them just because they are giving away bungie pro for 4 months free for anyone who buys them just after they come out.
