When it comes to Halo, yeah, I'm sort of an asshole. For me, this is a big zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Good point... so while before there was *almost no* reason to buy ODST, now there is *literately no* reason to buy ODST.

Good grief... but I wonder, there have been dwindling numbers on Halo 3, ever since about November, I think? I don't know if there will be enough people playing when the DLC comes out.

On another note, does anyone still play Firefight? Lemme know.

It makes the most sense, really. They're good maps.

That's what Treyarch charges. They just throw in a Nazi Zombies map as well.

And these maps are generally made just for multiplayer, not just closed in and modified campaign sections.

Bradwart, do you have big celebratory plans for your upcoming 5000th completely pointless, uninteresting comment? Or is it going to be beating off to that same worn-out picture of Sonic you drew tits on?

what? treyarch charges 10 per 3 as well?

is this honestly what is charged on x-box, i though it was more along the lines of 5 dollars for 2 maps or something or 5:3, but 3 maps cost as much as 1/5th of the game?

I'm going to go out on a lim and guess MW2's map packs will be $15, just so they can test the waters.

When is Legendary Map Pack going to be FREE? They made all the DLC for Halo 2 free why not H3?

Microsoft. Bungie stated that they were told that they could either make Legendary free, or release Cold Storage for free. Not both.

That's one of my biggest complaints about DLC this gen. I'll put down $10 for some maps that are new, but when the DLC is more than say, 2 years old, it should be marked down significantly. Just look at Gears of War 1 maps, they still want you to pay $10! Ridiculous.

Well... at least they waited a while before they released this... feel like I have access to something early.

I was a little disappointed in ODST's campaign and how I finished it without dying in 4 hours on Legendary :-|

But this is good because my friends that declined to buy ODST will be able to get these maps finally and we can utilize the playlists that have been "locked out" to mythic-only players... like MLG

>:) ODSTers still get reach beta though.

This article still gives me no reason to take COD-MW2 out of my xbox and put H3 back in.

even if they gave the maps away for free i probably still wouldnt.

the only other game capable of making me take out COD-MW2 is Assassins creed 2.

Wow Bungie lied out of their teeth saying those maps were exclusive and would never be on Marketplace.

"If you're referring to the distribution model of Halo 3 maps, please remember that Bungie has no control over the distribution or pricing of maps"

That's Bungie's official word on the subject.

OH THE HUGE MANATEE!

Well considering the three previous map packs were 800 points, it only makes sense that this would be too. I'm not concerned about the pricing, just that their exclusivity was a huge selling point in ODST.

lol why are you so angry? I said I KNOW that MS has control over pricing. I never even mentioned pricing. However, Bungie has control whether to put the maps on Marketplace or keep them exclusive to ODST.

They don't have control. That's my point. Microsoft has all control of Halo.

They really don't. Microsoft owns the Halo IP, and they call all the shots with it. Could Bungie refuse to package them as DLC? Sure, but it's probably a few seconds work that Microsoft could easily do themselves, and there's really no reason not to.

Well, there goes another checkmark. ODST is no longer DLC you can't actually D.

Is it just me, or does that map look eerily like that small map from Killzone 2?
