So with the rumour that we’ll be hearing about the first map pack today, anyone hope/reckon, we’ll get more from them then just a bunch of static dull maps?
I’ve always been a big fan of what DICE did with BF3, adding more unlocks and commendations with each Map Pack, I hope we get something like that. More skins and armours would be nice.
Anyone else think that we’ll see more than just 3 maps?
I reckon it’ll be 3 maps. That’ll do.
I really hope not. The time where Map Packs are just over priced static levels has passed now, especially on console now. With Gears 3 and BF3 offering more for the same price, it seems stupid to spend 800-1200 just for something that never shows up in matchmaking!
3 maps would be fine, however, anything else which doesn’t directly affect gameplay (weapons, skills etc) would be cool. Maybe a helmet or two (well, war pass did that, but still) or even map pack specific emblems.
There isn’t much additional stuff they could add, other than armour/emblems tbh.
Well they could add a lot of cosmetic stuff really.
I’d want more armours, emblems and weapon skins.
It would be cool if we could unlock them with new commendations as well!
There are already a lot of commendations. Seems like that would be pointless, I mean, map based ones would be cool, but generally other than aesthetic stuff, like you said, nothing else could be added. Maybe effects could be cool, like in Reach.
I have a feeling they are just going to be standard Halo map packs with nothing special. 3 maps, probably no different vehicles/weapons, etc.
The DLC schedule for H4 is rather strange. They’re pumping out 3 map packs in 6 months, and in comparison, Bungie released 4 map packs (and 1 free map) for H3 over the timespan of about 2 years.
What I find annoying is the fact that they’re all already practically planned out, and were planned out before launch, I think. I’d prefer them to wait until they know what fans consider to be missing/lacking and build maps that fill those voids, rather than just planning everything out pre-launch.
I am not buying nothing from 343 until they put Race back into the game. I am done.
