 | Comment #29 by EverybodysRival Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 08:36:28 AM A perfect time for my 360 to get the curse, I guess outside looks better and better for now. |
 | Comment #30 by XxM4RKSM4NxX Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 08:49:15 AM I might get these over the new Amazon Xbox Live store. I'd rather do it that way than buy MS points. |
 | Comment #31 by Coldgears Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 08:54:18 AM @30 the amazon stor only has games not add ons... |

 | Comment #34 by ONEROSSY Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 09:20:25 AM most ppl say there pretty good, gonna go get em now, there was no way i was buying halo wars just for the maps tho, as many i know did! |
| Comment #35 by PiggybackSpider Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 09:21:48 AM Gonna have to get me some points ^_^ |
 | Comment #36 by JRAPOCALYPSE Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 09:37:28 AM BLAH! |
 | Comment #37 by HighsounD Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 09:44:32 AM Xbox is in freakin Frankfurt on repair. Im so addicted to Halo that i plan to steal my friends console. Hehehe. Will get these as soon as my xbox is back, looks promising |
 | Comment #38 by Dubbel Frisss Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 09:54:57 AM is it only multiplayer or also the campain?? |
 | Comment #39 by Raider Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:08:19 AM What does this raise the possible score in halo to? |
 | Comment #40 by DemonI81 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:12:27 AM #9 There is a Halo 4 in the works. Bungie isn't making it though, I'm not sure who is. Since Bungie's not making it, I wont be buying it. #38 MP only. I was lucky enough to have a friend that got the maps through Halo Wars so I've played them a little before today, but now I've got my very own copy. Time to work on those extermination and perfection achievements. |
 | Comment #41 by KippJuHH Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:25:37 AM Im not special any more :( |
 | Comment #42 by Arcanon Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:26:10 AM Everyone has them now. Sweet. Now hopefully they'll add Zombie gametypes to matchmaking so I can get those damned achievements. This is of course assuming there never were any Zombie matches in the current playlist, as I never got them. |
| Comment #43 by YouStayClassy Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:30:27 AM @#2 LOL, yeah maybe they'll also send out free copies of Halo 3 to anyone that wants one as well. And to point out something about the review, "Get The Horns" achievement is attainable in Griffball type games. Swords a plenty there. |
 | Comment #44 by xxdisturbed23xx Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:44:38 AM I got them the minute they came out at 4:05 Eastern last night lol |
 | Comment #45 by CrAb WiZaRd Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:51:30 AM ive had them since march... THEY BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #46 by d0ck0nt0p Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 10:57:52 AM eh. Buying Penny Arcade Episode 1 instead. I'll get them next time though. |
 | Comment #47 by TotalNubTim Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 11:02:29 AM "Device full." Great... just great. |
 | Comment #48 by YUNDERSTAND Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 11:08:11 AM Does anyone know if the legendary map pack will be free? I still dont have them yet. |
 | Comment #49 by oFILECOMPLAINTo Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 11:20:35 AM eh so when are the other maps coming out, i thought there was more than three |
 | Comment #50 by DDcup x Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 11:22:31 AM Doubt the legendary map pack will be free, because there is acheivements linked to them. Cant wait till i get 800 points now >_ |
 | Comment #51 by spilner100 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 11:32:40 AM big bloody deal |
 | Comment #52 by BLQQDCQRE Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:00:00 PM People still play this over-rated shitty game? |
 | Comment #53 by MachineHero Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:08:42 PM #49: the other 3 maps (Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore) will most likely come out with ODST in the fall. As for the map pack, I've had it since Halo Wars CE and only one I really liked was Assembly. |
 | Comment #54 by Tarvu Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:19:18 PM Oh no, BlQQDCQRE doesn't like Halo 3, or O. The point is, now this is out for general retail they are putting infection on mythic maps into Rumble pit, another 50G is possible. |
 | Comment #55 by M - Dizz Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:19:33 PM ill wait till there free or till ODST im not giving them anymore money |
 | Comment #56 by asilent boom Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:30:42 PM @9 Bungie is making a Halo3:ODST that releases this fall, which will have a new campaign and hero. Theres a Trailer you can Download on LIVE in the game videos, it looks really good. @52 i'm not a big halo fan or anything like that but even I know Halo3 will always be one of the most played games on Xbox LIVE. Its ridiculous when people say "oh people still play that" about Halo or CoD4 or CodD WaW. These games will always have lots of players no matter what you think of the game. |
 | Comment #57 by Parkerktm Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:35:41 PM love em |
 | Comment #58 by NorseForce28 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:36:54 PM Now just to wait for an infection gametype. |
 | Comment #59 by GUNSANDBUTTA Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:38:38 PM I get paid on Saturday ill probably get them then my homie said they are worth it |
 | Comment #60 by ddpacker Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:40:41 PM @#9 Didn't Gearbox announce they were working on Halo 4? |
| Comment #61 by asilent boom Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 12:43:18 PM @59 Yea theres a rumor saying gearbox is making Halo 4 and will be a launch title with the next generation XBOX 720. I don't know if this is true or not just rumors. |
| Comment #62 by Zmoke Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 01:16:09 PM Woot! I've already downloaded it and it's great! Whoever wrote something about Halo 4, it won't be as good as Halo 3. Besides, there will still be Halo 3: ODST before the rumored Halo 4. If Gearbox will make Halo 4 it will probably be horrific even though I hope it would turn to be good. For example, compare Soldier Of Fortune 2 and SoF3, very good turned to be very bad in that case. Reason? Different developers. |
 | Comment #63 by lildevilbmxer Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 01:37:47 PM got thesse last night lvoe them freaking bungie had them up saying they were 99,999 ms points wtf had to wait a half hour for it to change to 800 ms points ahaha |
 | Comment #64 by elninotorres08 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 01:54:57 PM what happened to longshore and the others :( |
 | Comment #65 by Chizwick Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 01:59:50 PM I'll wait till I can get all six of the new maps. Hopefully they'll come with ODST and I won't have to spend points on the three I can get now. |
 | Comment #66 by PuttyGod Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:13:08 PM I'll wait to get them with ODST. |
 | Comment #67 by Lukeweizer Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:13:27 PM Yippee! A Ripoff Map Pack! 2 of the maps considered to be part of the map pack are being released along side ODST and who knows if we'll have to pay extra for them! Such a joke. We buy the Mythic Pack, only get 3/5 of the maps, have to wait 6-7 months for the other 2 and to get the rest of the achievements. |
 | Comment #68 by Monoplay796 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:16:30 PM ill pass on these.... |
 | Comment #69 by Craigimuss Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:28:50 PM This map pack rocks. I have have been on it for like 8 hours. brilliant and worth the money. |
 | Comment #70 by AustinMc14 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:35:51 PM k, if the 3 other maps r coming out with da new halo. why is the achievements under halo 3. PLEASE SOMEONE MESSAGE ME. TY |
 | Comment #71 by ArmyOfPie Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:44:52 PM Wow I totally forgot that these were coming back, I almost spent some points on Family Guy episodes! Glad I didn't now! :) |
 | Comment #72 by Colby Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:45:30 PM i was one of the first to get them. there awesome! |
 | Comment #73 by rabaku Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:53:03 PM Yeah, Bungie already said that they won't make the Legendary maps free. |
 | Comment #74 by BoswellBum Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 02:59:57 PM Hell I'm still waiting for the legendary ones to be free lol. |
 | Comment #75 by SuperWoody64 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 03:20:30 PM Cool, I sold my maps that came with halo wars for 47 bucks on ebay. I'm glad I waited. |
 | Comment #76 by Stealthyhawk Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 03:52:38 PM been 2 months since i played halo so i guess its time to fire it back up again =p |
 | Comment #77 by Emo Extreamo Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 03:57:11 PM they are good. love sandbox and aaembly not orbital though..... swat on sandbox is wicked. |
 | Comment #78 by Striking Echo Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 04:29:21 PM Yay "old" maps! lol Kinda glad they're on the marketplace I was getting bored in the Team Mythic playlist and it'll be nice to see people other than 50's in there. |
| Comment #79 by Zmoke Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 04:54:02 PM What are you guys talking about?! The maps are totally new and you can't get certain achievements ANY other way but buying this map pack. Halo 3: ODST is a NOT Halo 3, they are different games. Besides, H3ODST is said to be half-priced so they don't rip your money twice as some of you said. Why not to buy the pack? It has incredible maps and you'll be able to join every playlist in Matchmaking if you've gotten all the earlier map packs too. The other 3 Mythic maps will be released Fall 2009. Still, this map pack can be considered different from the up-coming Mythic maps. They just have same names because Bungie ran out of proper new names. |
 | Comment #80 by ClutchPapi34 Thursday, April 09, 2009 @ 06:00:11 PM I have had them for a month. they are full of win |
| Comment #81 by BLQQDCQRE Saturday, April 11, 2009 @ 09:42:35 PM They are just trying to bring a old crappy over rated game back to life. The only good thing about halo 3 is it makes a good frizbee for my shotgun. |
 | Comment #82 by Rockin141 Sunday, April 12, 2009 @ 06:01:39 PM I want these and think they will be good. But 800 points each?!?! thats crazy. Its £18 for 2100 so in other words its about £7 for each pack... it ridiculous. |
