Breakpoint is giving me a nice Nightcamp/Avalanche vibe. It should play a lot better in non-Invasion gametypes than Boneyard and Spire, depending on how well Bungie populates it for those gametypes.

I still haven't decided whether I'm going to get these maps or not. At least until they make major playlist/voting changes, I don't see any point in paying 800 MSP to play Big Team Slayer all the time on different maps.
Hopefully their search algorithms are different this time. I could never get a map that wasn't on-disk or Heroic when the Halo 3 BTB playlist was open to anyone. I'm still holding onto a shred of hope that Bungie can get their act together, so I bought 'em. Already got the "double kill from the grave" achievement too, in my second match.
Halo is a AAA title, however the support for the games are not what I call AAA support.
Thanks Microsoft for a support lifecycle, I guess Bungie has learnt a thing or two from that, I wish they could be like Valve who supports their titles, for what amounts to forever.
On a different matter,
343 working on Halo 1 remake - Report, seems like a big F U to PC gamers, and Halo 1 Custom edition modders in general. :'(
Playing Halo 1 campaign on co-op, is so hawt, no need for the h1x mod. :D
They mentioned a while back that you won't get matched up with people who don't own the map packs, unlike Halo 2 and 3.
I'm passing. 3 maps has never been enough to get me back into any multiplayer that I've already stopped playing. Maybe when the new variants get introduced.
I hardly like any of the default MP maps, so I almost feel I should be compensated for this by a FREE mappack. Obviously we can't have that, but there's no way I'm paying 800 MS points for something of which (based on their default maps) I already doubt the quality.
I really don't see how you could take that as an insult. Also, I'm pretty sure they're just reporting an already-debunked rumor.Quote:

I decided to get the maps, because although I strongly disagree that they should be 800 MSP, I realized I usually spend $10 on nothing, whereas this would actually last me a long time.
I really, REALLY hate Anchor 9. It has that feeling that I don't like about Atom, where everything is multi-story and you are either looking up or down to get a kill, since nothing is ever at eye-level. Whatever IS at eyelevel is blocked off by a wall or some stupid fucking column so you can hardly aim in close quarters combat, and usually end up getting meleed. But that's not what kills it for me. The biggest fault of the map is the fucking horrendous framerate when you are in a battle with more than 1 person. Fuck, it felt like I was watching a fucking slideshow when I was watching 4 people battle it out and throw grenades. I also stared the game on the red side facing 3 enemies.
