13 individual playlists in Halo 3.
18 individual playlists NOT including the Firefight/ Campaign playlists in Halo: Reach.

I know people like their options and all that but I think we could trim down the number..

Halo 3 had an awful lot at one point. Trimmed down once they killed Ranked playlists, for example BTB, Team Objective, & later Team Throwback lol.

Yep, the ones you get every month. If you purchase some from the Amazon store, they do not expire.

the tryouts made me kinda enjoy Reach again, is it worth buying the new maps? is one map pack superior to the other?
Click to expand...

Noble has one good 4v4 map (Anchor 9) a BTB map that is also a framerate lag free forge map (Tempest) and a good Invasion map (Breakpoint)

Defiant has an amazing BTB map (Highlands), a decent 4v4 map (Condemned) and a really good firefight map (Unearthed).

thanks Napsta, I like 4v4, so it looks like I'll give the Noble pack a try

I would highly recommend the defiant map pack as well. You may not be a firefight guy, but I am betting its only because you have yet to try.
so go on, be a firefight guy :D

I'm hungry for a new DLC pack.

I think 343 is going to announce a DLC pack on E3, but one thing that I haven't seen being discussed here recently, is the possibilety of a campaign DLC pack. Maybe a mini campaign featuring Jun and his faith in 4 levels? Then we could get 2 multiplayer maps with it for around 2000 space bucks.

I think it woudl be a good chance for 343 to show what they are capable of, story and gameplay whise.

Guest-65: In the past when releasing DLC, it has always been geared towards multiplayer. Have you ever considered maybe an extra add on single player experience?
BrianJd: There aren't any current plans for additional single player content post-launch - the game wasn't really built in a way to allow for that.
Click to expand...

From that Best Buy chat awhile back before launch I think.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing another release like ODST (Halo Reach: ODST?) with a $20 to $30 price tag and that they won't try to justify a $60 price tag by including the multiplayer suite and all DLC again.

Bungie has always been one to expand their multiplayer experiences. Halo has never been built to accomodate single player add-ons.
At least 343 is bound to announce some DLC for E3 or PAX.

I wonder if Mass Effect 2: Arrival was successful? Perhaps it'll start a trend.

Aside from setting up ME3, I heard it was short, terrible, and isn't composed of the things that made ME2 great. How it did in sales, I have no idea.

I have to say, I've actually been enjoying most of my games in BTB as of late. I'm not entirely sure why, but I think not having to play half my games on boneyard is definitely helping.

But that was Brain Jerrard right? 343 could have completely different plans for Halo's DLC couldn't they?

Well he did say the game wasn't really built to support campaign DLC. It could happen, but they probably wouldn't make as much money on Campaign DLC as they would on multiplayer.

Yes, but what he is showing is that Brian basically stated that you can't add single player DLC to the game, its not possible.

I think the point was that Halo: Reach wasn't built with the framework for adding Campaign DLC.

Edit: Damn. Double beatdown.

I wonder if the BWU tomorrow is going to be super-sized... fingers crossed for playlist update details.

They won't and shouldn't do or think like that. ODST was worth more than 60 bucks.

Gotta get some June update goods tomorrow. I wonder if the update will come out the 31st or the 7th...

Oow okay guys, I read over that last sentence :p

A shame though and that makes me wonder, how will they cover Jun's story if not in a campaign DLC? I'd be pretty disapointed if they'd just let the gap open..

I'm salivating at the incoming Firefight changes, some of which I know, some I don't (the details of the Doubles playlist.)

For people who didn't have Halo 3, ODST was an incredible deal.

For the people who bought all DLC, it was a shit deal. Should have been under $40.

Anyone have a recently snagged full size picture of a B.O.B.? I need one for an article I hope to publish today but might not have time to chase down on my own in time.

Gonna assume he means because he felt it was a solid and complete retail single player game (which I agree with). Then you add on the fact it had all of Halo 3's multiplayer + DLC maps even including some only on that disc, pretty good value overall.

I still thought it was a good deal, honestly, I've paid 60 euro for games that I played 10 times less and were about the same lenght without survival modes which nobody complained about if I remember correctly.

and @GhaleonEB:
is this one good enough? http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=8161820&player=Robbert014

There is a spartan in the pic but I you nearly see the complete B.O.B.

I doubt they'll officialy try to tie cannon with Jun's story. But there is a GREAT alternative, its a fan made graphic novel(ongoing) called Fistful of Arrows which coincidentally deals with Jun's story. Give it a read!

I was looking for a good (standard widescreen) shot from someone to use from whom I had permission; I don't want to snag some shot from a source or person and have them accuse me of stealing it.

Thanks for looking for it, Big.

Great shots, though. I'll just do a quick run through a level to their spawn location tonight and add it before (hopefully) publishing.

Hedge has already said that his shots are usable by anyone - and they're hosted by me. But I understand that's not a standard widescreen shot.

I'll see if I can get one for you, though. Save you the trouble. :)
