Yah, Ghosts are fucking stupid for me. I stick them, jump over them hit them with Mantis rockets and they don't die. I was in a ghost, hit a rock and "suicided" - My bane.
Speaking of Suicide, boarded a Mantis, planted a grenade and it forced me to jump off a cliff. So far these new maps have been hit or miss games for me.
And poor Europe, half the world is missing our on free maps.

That's what it should do every time. Hell, if it would have done it in the game I played the other team would have won. But nope, it puts it right on our side of the map in our base lolFunnily enough, I had a similar game end up as 4-4 on Shatter but the last point was C so it was smack bang in the middle I believe. A lot more fair than what your match finished up with I'd imagine

I believe I got mine for killing a jetpacker while jumping.
Wetwork I believe. It also makes you silent and faster assassinations.

Oddball on Wreckage was awesome.

I would, but the guy over there just sniped me because I can't see anything.

Sadly, I will be skipping this DLC due to the fact that it contains no maps I wanna fuckin' play.
I just realized they used his moustache to hide the animation join between his upper face and his mouth to make him cheaper to animate, like Yogi Bear's neck tie collar.
If the Spec codes end up giving away all three map packs for free, there's no way 343 can not compensate LE/Map Pass buyers.
That would literally be inexcusable. I would not be able to excuse it.
Is it confirmed that the specialisation codes are what made the maps go free? I saw someone make that suggestion and then suddenly everyone has latched onto it.

I can't believe these maps were allowed to ship. The framerate drops are ridiculous. It's a straight up slideshow on KOTH Wreckage when the hill gets inside that middle building. They should have been extensively reworked or completely scrapped once those performance issues were found
Ahh okay. Thanks
A big problem that I can see occurring is if 343i can't distinguish between LE owners and those who just got sent a code... which means that they might not bother compensating anyone.
I can only imagine the community reaction if that happens.
That's how you keep the map small-medium.

Yup I was ahead of you and then I couldnt find anyone for the next 3 minutes til you won lol.
Bravo start speaking up and telling them they cant do these things. These maps are 6v6+ All three of them.
You can't complain about free maps.
Can I complain about paying for free maps?
I was thinking this the whole time I was playing hahaYou can't complain about free maps.
These maps are really fun so far. Had some frame rate issues on the one (bad with map names so far) but Harvest is definitely the best CTF map in the game so far.
I doubt there is a fix for the framerate drops but this is the best free map pack to date.

sarcasm aside, I really do enjoy the maps. Tuna even said our CTF on Harvest game was the best match he's had in this game
harvest is probably better than any of the other BTB maps

Harvest is decent but Shatter and Wreckage should not have been allowed to ship
Well you see, that makes sense, and the VG industry doesn't make sense.
Agreed. Definitely the worst map pack to date.
Achievement stuff:
The vertical lifts on Harvest count as mancannons for achievement purposes, but Assassinations don't count as melee kills for the purposes of the Special Delivery achievement.
Are the counters for Mantis stomps and detached machine gun kills cumulative, or do those achievements ahave to be done in a single game? Any confirmation one way or the other?

It really doesn't and it shows.
You silly goose, it's the ONLY map pack!
Uhh...of all Halo map packs.
Fake edit: Although Orbital is pretty hard to top, let's be honest.
Make everyone happy? What about people who only play 4v4s? Now they have to buy a 6v6 and 8v8 map just to get one map they like. What about the people who only play BTB? They're stuck with two maps that are too small for their taste so that's wasted money for them. Just make it so every map pack has certain types of maps in it. BF3 does it and it works amazingly. I didn't want to buy any small BF3 maps so I didn't buy the Close Quarters map pack. The map pack after that was one consisting of only big maps which I do like a lot so I bought that one.
That Reach map pack with the firefight map in it was dumb as hell. I've prbably played on it maybe a handful of times. Money wasted. Give me 100% MP maps at least and make a separate firefight map pack.

Oh holy shit. I cannot see how they would fix this map pack issue if it is infact the spec codes causing this.
Probably the reason it's still free and Ms/343 have kept quiet about it.
Quite the oversight by someone. Though I cannot feel bad about this train wreck of a dlc launch. This is all happening because they tried charging for something that should have been in the game since launch (spec codes).
