Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? Makes me glad that we won't have to sort through crap like that, we have the best maps here.
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? I am personally excited for them, but I am really wondering, will Foundry take out the creativity in maps? With Foundry you could just slap some walls down and a few crates, toss a couple weapons down and away you go but the way it is now, you have to build your map and come up with fancy ways of doing things. My guess is that Foundry will remove the artistic elements I enjoy seeing in many maps and just provide good gameplay.
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? good point, the bungie posts got a bit ridiculous a long time ago.
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? Well I've actually got some interesting ideas... if you were Premium you would know (GET TO 100 POSTS N00BS!!! LAWLZ!!!) I can't wait... anyone got the release time for the Map Pack yet... I need to know if taking a day off from work tomorrow is a good idea...
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? Probably not a good idea, becuase if you get on two fast it will take a while for them to download, like when everyone was downloading shivering isles, it took the whole day for it to finish.
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? Still better than starting later though... And I have a strong feeling that we should ban Foundry maps from guilder applications, unless it is EXTREMELY UNIQUE. Which means no infection, mazes, sports games, etc. Anything that seems obvious with Foundry. As someone stated before. Foundry makes things that use to take skill easy. You may still have to do spawn placement and such, but with the grid built into foundry's floor (bungie stated it was faded, but existed so that you could measure everything quickly) it just makes too many things too easy. I talked to most of the guilders and they agreed. What do you guys think?
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? I agree, making a cool map with foundry will be nothing special.
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? They built a grid into the floor!?! That's helpful, if you can't align stuff. Um. I think it's obvious the standard will be higher on foundry, but that won't mean people suddenly get great ideas automatically. Regardless, for those who are wishing to apply through DLC created maps, I would recommend taking your time and not releasing early just because loads of other people are.
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? Thanks for your support Grave... And shock... I don't mind if they do Standoff or Rat's Nest... but if I see a Racetrack in an application I will cut myself...
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? you should prolly sharpen the razor lol, cuz i think a racetrack in an app might be inevitable. :-\
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? AAAHHH!!! THE AGONY!!!! People will never learn will they. Well I am waiting for you guys to search for the release time... (I can't do it cuz most game sites are blocked at work...)
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? The Heroic Map Pack will be available for download on Xbox LIVE Marketplace Dec. 11th, 2007. that's all xbox.com says and same with B.net and IGN. So if all anyone is giving is a date ..... can we say they'll be available at 12:01 am tonight?
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? what timezone did the Blastatcular pack from Halo 2 start at midnight? I think that's how the Halo 3 packs will be as well.
Re: Who else is excited for the new maps? I saw it somewhere..O ya Bungie homepage...it says "In the very wee hours of tomorrow morning (2 a.m. Pacific) the Heroic Map Pack will be available on Marketplace. The Red vs. Blue dudes have a video preview of Standoff, Foundry and Rat's Nest available for download on Marketplace now." Its a 3 hour difference for East right so thats 11:00 PM?
