I would hope so, considering that's what they've been saying about it the entire time...

It looks like there is a much higher level of detail to these levels than others...But maybe I'm just crazy.

They look great, however 800 points is something I'll have to consider...Since Microsoft points for AUD must have been calculated during a recessesion (rather than current times) because 800 is probably like $15 (or more) which makes no sense and makes me sad.

However, the added forge customisations look promising...If only there were updates to the other maps to allow shield doors and man cannons and other things to be added to the original set. But alas, that won't happen...

Bring on the DLC modz lol

Oh.

I got it from the name, Art Vandaley. If you've watched Seinfeld, it'd give it away.

800 points is $10 USD, which is $11.30 in Australian dollars, although I don't know if it would be equal price there.

standoff gives me a coag feal for some reason. look at the base on the bottom right of the pic posted. Even though you can't really destinguish [sp?] what it looks like, to me, it looks like the coag bases.

After looking over Standoff's pic again I've come to the conclusion that I really like this map. It looks like a very balanced and great map to add to the menu this soon after the games release.

foundry looks fun for stupid gametypes(which is my specialty....)

standoff looks like an old space monitoring site from around 1980s( old is refering to halo years)

damn i got to go get a job to pay xbl =\ parents won't pay for it. been asking for 2 years.

i don't really like the format of ratsnest for somereason(XD crowsNest, ratsNest. bungie need to get ppl to name the maps better. come on standoff....)

They look pretty good, but one of my other concerns are and I haven't seen anyone ask this yet, will they fix the Elite permutation shoulder glitch?(The one where it don't unlock after getting the achievement).

Weren't there updates for each new version of DLC with Halo 2? I'm sure there will be a similar strategy with Halo 3...New title update and new maps. They have also stated that they are working on it so I'd assume some time around there.

The maps look pretty cool i like the idea of more use of forge but they just dont look too apealing from the pictures... it remind me of the same *** different day... I dont know... just my opinion i like the games single player and there a kouple good multiplayer maps hopefully these will be better!

I can't wait to Forge the hell out of the new maps. All they're missing is a super covenant based map, and a super Flame based map.

Ok, the maps become free in 2008 spring...Is your spring.......Erm March?\

I am. Any DLC my dad buys for me and him.
It will probably be right when I get home from school. Or if he didn't have to go to work then he will probably already have bought them and installed them as well as the update on my xbox 360 and his.

I think our spring in march. Easter is in April. So it may be in April... idk lol

Did I type that? Did someone fix my spelling error? (coz I certainly didn't if it was there) or are you trying to mke me look bad

or was that a joke? (I'm confused sorry, my brain has been overworked for the past few weeks)

Spring 2008 is also when the next wave of new map DLC arrives. But March/April does sound pretty far off for the next wave...Actually no it doesnt...3 maps/3months mb?

If someone corrected it, it's still wrong...

I don't think I'll be buying them right away. Too caught up with PSU and Call of Duty 4. Unless they're just really awesome that is.

Hahaha. I quoted him and FireFox saw that it was spelled wrong. So I right-clicked it and clicked the first word that came up. I fixed it now. Sorry. lol.

If I can pick up a 360, i'll be buying them. $10 isn't too much, I'd rather pay than wait that many months. I can easily make that much by doing random jobs here and there.

DrXThirst · Post by **DrXThirst** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 11:17 pm

Kirk, how do we donate to your 360 fund?

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 12:02 am

It wasn't really a donation type of thing, but i'll take a $20 any day ;oP

Munsie · Post by **Munsie** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 4:44 am

I'm grabbing them for sure. The new Forge potential is more than enough reason to pay 10$.
