In case you haven’t stopped by Bungie’s site in a while, they recently gave out some details about their first DLC item for Halo 3. They wrote about it five days ago (you can see it here). The Heroic Map Pack will contain 3 maps and be available on Dec 11th for 800 Microsoft Points.

$10 for 3 maps? That still seems a little high in my opinion. I’d like to see at least one more map in there for that price. What do you guys think of the price?

Also, I heard that some of these DLC maps were already done and they didn’t ship them with the game because they wanted to sell them later. (Kinda lame, but business is business.)

Either way, besides the price and the rumors I heard that they had several other maps done I think the maps look alright. Hopefully they don’t suck like most of the ones that were available from the Halo 2 map packs.

This one looks like it’s my favorite so far:

Rat’s Nest

But the real test of wether the maps will be good is if MLG considers using them. I just hope that people don’t start cheating on the maps like they did back during Halo 2 especially after the DLC maps were hacked all the time.

What do you all think of the new maps, prices etc?

Check out this Halo 2 montage with gameplay from THe V from Team LanFall Gaming. The video is edited by me and I actually finished it a long time ago but haven’t gotten around to posting it. I offer to edit people’s videos and you can see my rates at HaloBoards here. Overall, the quality of the video will depend on the clips you send in to me, so the better the clips and the more you send in the better video I can make.

What do you think of the video and editing?

I mentioned this before, but I always knew the most difficult thing for me would be to get 600 EXP as opposed to getting level 50 in a single playlist. Well, actually I have a 50 in team slayer and double team now. Anyways, late last night I played for about 4 hours with a couple of my buddies at got to 595 EXP before my wife woke up at 4:00 AM and told me to come to bed. So, I got up this morning and finish up the 5 extra EXP and finally had the general. I can’t remember how much EXP I had when I hit 50 but needless to say I was a long way off to my general by the time I got my first 50.

Now I know I could have simply done the exp boosting long ago when I got my first 50 but I think it’s kinda stupid to EXP boost, so I just put in the time and got it legit. I highly doubt that I’ll get to the General Grade 4 for at least a year or so if not ever. I’ve just been playing a lot of matchmaking because many of the good players are still playing Halo 2 for the MLG tournies.

As soon as more stuff is announced for Halo 3 and MLG then I’ll probably be done playing matchmaking. MLG gametypes are much better anyway. Also, I’m still doing a lot of Halo 3 lessons so if you’re interested in taking some check out the lessons page.
