Now out on the XBLM

Isnt it like $10 for three maps, but the maps are meant to be imense are they not?

[random rik]

Anyone got them yet?
What are they like?

[BlackDwarf]

Just downloading them now

[beanbandit]

I downloaded them yesterday. Only played 2 of them, but so far i like what i've seen. Will be playing more tomorrow night and hopefully get to play all 3

[JimmyBoy]

very disapointed they are 800 points. 40 quid on the game, 40 quid a year for the privilige to play it online and now another 8 odd quid for a measly 3 extra online maps >:-(

[Blademrk]

I'll wait 'til their free next year I think.

[Russ]

halo3 for me wasnt the greatest thing to grace the 360, maybe just overhyped :/

[Veles]

Not got the points for them yet, a 4200 card should arrive soon

I'm getting them because I'm a whore, but I'm not pleased to be paying 800 for them, they best be as good as bungie have been making them out to be. 400-600 points would have been a much more acceptable price, more in line with the Halo 2 map packs.

[Butuz]

Are these good then?

Downloaded them last night, and they're absolutely awesome
Foundry is ace, especially the heavily modded versions, like Grifball
Rats Nest is also good, with a big oval round the outside for holding races
Standoff is also a really nice map!

Any news on when theyll be free, 800 points it taking the proverbial.

[Veles]

A while, sometime in the spring. What I don't get is why they decided to put them at 800, they could have easily put them at 400-600 and made more than twice the sales before they became free as a lot of people are put off by the price, possibly even keeping them as premium content for a long while. Does feel a bit like a slap in the face, I imagine these maps were more expensive to develop than their Halo 2 maps, but the first map pack on Halo 2 was two maps for free plus 3 more premium maps, IIRC these only cost about 4 quid, and if you wanted you could buy them on a DVD, all 5 maps plus more extra content for less than what we're paying for these 3.

[Steve B]

The Map pack doesn't just include the three maps. Foundry also adds loads of Forge-able content like footballs and things

[Veles]

My points card arrived so I bought them, only been around in forge mode as a monitor just to see the layout but they look pretty cool, need to play them though.
