Things explode in Halo: Reach Noble Map Pack trailer

This combined with the new Forge maps Bungie releases will keep Halo Reach fresh for a long time...

Yea, Forge World will pretty much provide an endless supply of maps. These look sweet though.

Maybe it's the snow battle, maybe it's the jet packs in space, or maybe it's even the epic music. But I feel that I have to come back to this game right away.


Oh it's free to?
No, wait. It isn't.
Still buying it...

I can't wait for this to come out, but I wish it were a little cheaper... cause I have NO money. =/ Still, it's nice to see them not taking 6 months, like MW2 did, to release new maps for their games. Bungie is pretty good about support their games. Here's to hoping that this map's decision not to lock people who don't buy it out of certain playlists, like H3 did, becomes a trend.

It's sad that people are going to claim this to be Bungie freaking out over Black Ops. Who cares if they are lifting the cap and putting out a map pack to compete with Black Ops' launch? That's what they're supposed to do. If it weren't then they wouldn't be called competitors. Reach will get another couple map packs and another half dozen or so Forge variants, thanks to the Forgetacular contest, at the very least so I'm more interested in what Call of Duty will do to compete with that than I am in the other way around. Who knows, Reach getting cool little maps pumped into it from creative users might actually make the people at Treyarch work harder to match the number of maps and could wind up making CoD better as well.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Oh, and anyone who whines that these maps could have been in the game at launch because they look similar to in game maps, please just don't say anything. you are wrong. Noble Map Pack didn't go content complete until just last Wednesday.

Anchor 9 looks spectacular.

I wish they'd drop some more weapons for it...am the only one that liked dual wielding a mauler with a plasma pistol? Either way Bungie did make sure the gamer would be satisfied for years to come.

I am still enjoying Reach's MP a lot, and these maps look even better than what's in the game currently. Can't wait!

@worldpattern

Me too. I hate playing with crappy people who don't enjoy good games.

this looks awesome can't wait.

Did anyone else notice that the blue spartan at the end has a skull inside of his helmet? looks pretty awesome too!!!

How do I make the Charmin ad go away? I couldn't see any of the text at the bottom because of the little banner in the way.

Maps look great.

Damn! Bungie staff pwns.

Theater and Forge are the reason I keep playing Halo.

Dear Reach,

I heart you and always will,

The Pork

Any word on whether there'll be discoverable skulls?

I found out last night there was limit to the amount of credits you can get in day. Fun game.

If only Halo matches were actually that frantic..hoping I can get to Lt Col before the DLC drops, just getting decent challenges I'm willing to do, Firefight mainly (campaign second)

I love game!

please dl Rocky Tops forge map and tell me what you think good or bad. Wish you could test the map out with some fighting against the AI....as I only have 1 person on my friends list who is playing Halo lol

@NinjaJesus

Same. I can't think of anything not to like about Reach. It's the best Halo game ever...a perfect homage to old fans of the franchise. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised they managed to fit all that content on a single DVD.

@NinjaJesus

To each his own. Personally, it was a disappointing diversion for a couple weeks. I got sick of every other game having some idiot purposely run into my line of fire so he could kick me out and score more points for himself (which I confirmed multiple times through post-game messages to said idiot). I wouldn't call that good or fun.

Why didn't they include the Halo suite music in this game again?

@Monkey D Luffy

Assume whatever you like about my skills. To be clear, I'm not talking about accidental team kills. I know the difference, but maybe you don't. What I'm talking about is the guys on my own team who would go out of their way to get in my way when I'm shooting so they can get killed and kick me to score more points for themselves. If I'm playing the game and someone else is ruining that game for everyone else on his own team so he can hoard more points for himself, it's not worth my time to play it. Call me a troll if you like, but that's what happened on several occasions and I finally got sick of it and stopped playing. Call it bad luck, but I was done with it and went back to games I could actually enjoy.

Great, now I have to find some money to renew my Live subscription.

The 3 new maps look WAY too similar to levels in the campaign. Makes me wonder how much time and effort were really put into them.

As for the Forge World maps, they're getting stale already.

I'm lovin' Reach, but I have to admit the green-grass-forerunner-walls aesthetic is getting kind of old.

@worldpattern

Isn't that what the reporting system is for? There's also methods in place to avoid certain players. Let's also not forget all the new social matchmaking options Bungie added like preferring team play/lone wolves, prefer friendly communication/trash talking, etc.

What amazes me the most is that all Bungie has to do to make these badass trailers is just play on LAN for a day and go back to theater mode and start recording!

@worldpattern
That really doesnt happen all that often.
There is the occasional time when I hope in the scorpion and my own team starts shooting it until it catches fire, but there's no need to get your panties in a bundle over it
