What about the scratched discs in the limited edition?
SketchFactor wrote:This has been addressed in the launch week FAQ. As far as we know, the Microsoft team is sending out replacement discs for anyone who received a damaged one initially. Instructions and details can be found at Xbox.com. We realize this has been an issue for some of you but unfortunately there's nothing that we (Bungie) can personally do. However, the fine folks on the MGS support team are doing their best to help everyone out as fast as they can.
Microsoft with fine folks? I'm not believing it. Oh well, at least there is something on it.

This deserves a bump.

In addition to the customization the Forge currently offers, DLC maps include the ability to place Mancannons (with varying trajectories), a couple of different sized Shield Doors and some vehicles will see a variety of tweaks.

That would be most unappealing.

and why would you say this? say for example they come out with a large snow themed level, something like ice fields or sidewinder. wouldnt it be a little more fitting to have a snow hog variation on there, at least for aesthetic purposes? you'd think with the unsc's apparently infinite resources they would have more vehicles pertaining to their surroundings. plus they already added in the troop hog permutation. i think this time around in DLC we'll be seeing a lot of different stuff.

still just a thought, doesnt hurt to speculate.

They need to remember that vehicles in maps aren't always the best thing, and for that reason I agree with Tural. Snowbound would actually be a very bad map for any vehicles, it's just too small and there's no real cover.

Snowbound with the Ghost is has works well. Isolation, on the other hand, with the Ghost it has, is awful. Snowbound gives players a chance to actually fight the vehicle. In Isolation, one player can control a map if they're quick enough with it.

Other less risque changes coming to vehicles include environment-specific decals being applied to vehicles and certain vehicles have had their weapon systems modified so that they behave differently in multiplayer combat.
I'm glad they are adding more scenery for us to play around with. Man cannons and Shield Doors sound fun! :P

Pretty sure they're removing that due to people boosting with it.
