?

Should DLC objects (double boxes, walls, etc) be in the old maps as part of the download?

    I think that the new objects we place in forge for the DLC should be in the other original maps so that people can make more forge creations and more ideas for the community.

    Yeah, that's a good idea, but it would be too difficult for Bungie to go back in and do that. Now I develop games my self, and looking at this idea from a development perspective is, well, almost a nightmare. So you can dream about it, but don't waste too much time hoping that it will become a reality.

    They would have to go back and recode all of the old maps. You wouldn't even be able to download it. You would actually just have to buy a new version of Halo 3. Kinda sucky!

    yeah, no. I think it wouldnt be good because of the dl size and the time that would be needed to do it. if they did that we would w8 another 1-3 months for the next map pack.

    It would be good, however it is not possible.

    It would be great, but I highly doubt it's possible. Too bad the concept of immovable scenery caught on so late.

    I dont think it really matters. Bungie plans on making much more DLC, and by the time they're done most maps will have all the special stuff. I miss the sketchy floating bases made out of crates and teleporters :( lol.

    It would be possible, but would add a bigger price tag, because you would need to download all of the maps and have them be replaced.

    I'm good I guess.

    This would be great, but they would have to recode all of the Forge palettes in every single map. So i don't think its happening.

    Would be nice if they included it into all the coming DLC maps.

    If they really got cheap what they could do is create object packs, that would have fancy objects and could be used on any map so long as you have downloaded that object pack. Could be like Street Forge pack, 200 MS points and you get 10 or so pieces that could make a street.

    Nah, they could just patch them in the next Auto-Update. WHen the game tries to load from the disc, the hard drive analyzes the code and replaces/adds some.

    I read a comment on one of the Bnet weekly updates where they said this wouldn't be possible, even in an auto-update. You gotta realize there's some things you can patch and some things you can't. The problem isn't that it can't be done, the problem is that this that 100% of Halo players won't recieve the patch. Also, maps made on pre-patch versions would be bugged.

    Nothing would make me happier than if I could use these great new immovable objects on the origional maps, but it's not in the cards.

    and if it was possible, it would still fail. what of those who don't get this dream of an object pack? or dont feel the need for it?

    as soon as you downloaded it, more than half of your friends list wouldn't be able to play on any of the updated updated original maps.

    i gotta go with yes here, i mean how useful would it have been to have double boxes on some of the old maps, it would have been amazing, and man cannons on last resort would be fun.

    When they put on that auto update that gives us those missing elite shoulders they should make it so we can use the new objects on the old maps

    I would say in only some of the maps. Not all of them would be that great with thngs like Double Boxes or Bridges, so larger ones would be good. Valhalla would probably make the best out of it.
