Old videos are old, but I'll watch them again. I'm pretty psyched for these.

Are you excited Griffen? Whenever I see this DLC stuff, my mind goes directly to the line of logic "am I really going to get x-amount of money worth it if I buy this"? And these maps packs from Bungie have been typically, what, 800 for just about all them? I must say, I do play this game at least once a week, but I am not sure about the $10 price tag, $5 and I would be sold. I am sure a lot of work went into these, and I usually agree with Justin's "looking for hours per dollar is the wrong way to look at it" since I paid $50 for games like ICO where it was only a few hours long but the experience was worth it.

In the case of multiplayer DLC, I would say it should be hours per dollar as it is the same experience with the game, just a different setting with more variety. Experiences like Braid and Limbo shouldn't be measured like that though.
I'm not going to try and convince you to purchase or not purchase this DLC though.

Tempest looks like it could be the next Valhalla or Standoff, nice.

There's already a few H2 maps, but honestly, if they're going to redo them, I'd rather them make them outside of Forge. The new Ascension (Pinnacle) just feels too different. Also, there's no banshe in this one. :(
You should also consider that Halo 1 and 2 played very different from Halo 3 and now even Reach. There's a lot of little things that cause even maps like Ivory Tower to feel radically different. The energy sword spawn, the overshield/camo spawns, etc. It's just not the same as playing them in their original game.
(Though I wouldn't mind a faithful remake of Sidewinder for CTF games, not like Avanlanche.)
