Heh, I can't blame you guys for splitting from MS. This situation is sofa king we todd did.
Seriously though, I'm loving the new maps, but I want to so badly play them and seeing them makes me cry on the inside.
Oh yeah I had that LAN party for youth at a community centre, but we only had 2 copies of Halo 3 because someone forgot to bring his. SO, I'm buying another copy once it gets a tad cheaper. But we still played on 5 metre wide screens projected on a massive wall, I'll post some pics later. The place was full of PS3 fanboys, like seriously they would claim that you have to pay $50 a month to play online on the 360 and that garbage. Anyways, they all fell in love with Halo 3 after that night. It was hilarious how quickly they changed their tune.

I'm so tempted to buy Halo Wars now. However, I still have to try the demo and then there's the fact that I absolutely do not want to support Microsoft's handling of this.
Oh and nice job with the quick fix
I didn't even know about this alleged super-jump and it'll already be gone by tomorrow. Nice work Bungie.

Buy Halo Wars, but don't buy the CE. Simple as that dude.

^ I meant I'm tempted to buy it because of the Halo 3 maps 
However I still need to try it to seal the deal. I would get the CE then, because it would get me the maps, but I also don't want to help Microsoft's evil little plan here. I'd rather not see future games have exclusive content for other games.
All Halo 3 Multiplayer Maps (including the ones on disc) will be on Halo 3: ODST. Along with the exlcusive ODST Maps of course. Pretty neat. I know this is what we suspected but I don't believe it's actually been flat out confirmed.

Question: are those other variants in the screens just examples of the kind of stuff that can be done (such as the maps other folks at Bungie put together for Foundry), or can we expect to see more than just the default layout in matchmaking any time soon? The interviews make it sound like we should only expect one version of Sandbox in the near-term. But it would be neat to see more than one in Matchmaking...

On-topic, it'll be interesting to see how many shades of Sandbox hit the turf when the maps go live. Given the variety, we're looking at more than three maps in this new map pack. That's without precedent for H3, correct?

Because people are angry at MS for holding back the maps and giving them an early release to people who buy Halo War CE.

Then you'd also be paying 20 bucks for the maps instead of 10... and then double dipping when ODST releases (where part of its built in price tag/value including the maps you've already paid
more
Grow a set and be patient.
You realize, if this works out for MS... its never going to stop right?Striker said:
Its only going to get worse.
Ruh roh, instead of flying under the radar, the Bungie people are acting coy. Shit's about to get semi-real or even possibly real. "About" being a relative term, of course.
Well, if he lives on an island and his actions don't effect anyone else, then it seems like a pretty logical purchase. On the other hand, if he doesn't live on an island and doesn't want to enable MS to continue to rip off Halo fans, then not buying the CE is a good move.Striker said:
Unless said person is also looking at the CE contents - steel book, etc. - and determines there is $10 worth of value there and they want that stuff. I'm disinclined to buy this on general principle, but for those making a purely value-based decision, who also want the maps, the argument is there.Dirtbag said:
Side note: looking back, this is a natural evolution of the Beta being bundled with Crackdown. Leveraging the Halo brand against other IPs. Or in this case, Halo 3 against another Halo title. That was just more palatable since there was no other way to guarantee a way in, it didn't carry a premium cost, and well, it was Crackdown. It's like taking a stray cat home. Now it thinks it can do anything.
^^:lol
Just when I think you can't possible be any dumber, you go and do something like this......
and totally redeem yourself!!
Yeah you're right, but I haven't heard a single argument for that junk that comes with it yet, and there hasn't been a single MS produced collectors edition that's had any real value to it in my eyes yet.
Its always cheaply produced garbage made to gouge the fan, produced in mass quantities so even then it holds no resale value.
Hardcore gamers are some of the absolute hardest demographics to advertise to, yet make some of the worst buying decisions. What a conundrum.

If the maps weren't included, it would be only 70 bucks.
10 = art book, cards, etc... (all regular collector edition junk)
10 = Halo 3 maps plus early access to them
I see it has a fine price, you pay the same amount if you were to get a regular collectors edition and then buy the maps.
I will most likely get the CE edition because I have 50 bucks in Amazon gift cards, thus reducing the price down to 30, and then I get the maps early which I would of eventually bought anyway, this way I do save myself from buying a 1600 point MS card too.
I still find it totally perplexing that the people that post in this thread every day for the past year+ and complain to no end about bad decisions by bungie, in regard to how they should run their game... are going to stand here in the same breath and applaud this decision by MS with the Halo Wars CE. It basically removes nigh all legitimacy from most of your arguments about what is best for this game.
You think telling a handful of people on here is going to stop others around the US and world from buying Halo Wars CE? You can only do so much.Dirtbag said:
Halo Wars seems to be getting great reviews and praise, therefore if a Halo 3 fan decides he is going to buy that, and notices he can get three Mythic maps along with it, you think he/she will stop and say, "Hey, those guys on GAF told me not to!"? I doubt it.
I hope for this, as well.Insaniac said:Question to Bungie:
Anything on maybe increasing the custom content amount? I'm already bumping on 100 and Sandbox is definitely gonna push me over
Yeah I really do.Striker said:
What an absolutely horrible rebuttal / terrible attitude - totally cowardly. You would have been better off not-posting.
Because you have no chance of stopping something, you should give in/up? Coward
I'll go out swinging till the day I die otherwise your opinions/ideas mean shit.

I love steelbook cases. They're really nice.Dirtbag said:
Gears 2, Halo 3, Mass Effect were all very good to me.
Yes, it is a conundrum that some people value other things differently than you do, or see that something is of a higher value than you do.
Edit:
I didn't realize there was any healing needed between us, though, I haven't spoken to you in awhile! So, uh, yeah!SpudBud said:

I enjoy my MC helmet. It's a perfect place to store Halo CE, Halo 2, and the extra disc.Dirtbag said:
That sucked, yes, but I didn't say that the Halo 3 Collector's Edition was good.
Oh, and the Halo 3 Collector's Edition came in a tin case.

So the we hate M$ holding those maps just to sell Halo Wars CE flip flopping has begun :lol
Edit: I am broke as a joke but if I do like the demo and decide to pick up Halo Wars it sure as hell won't be the CE, and it definitely isn't because I don't want to play those maps ASAP.

True, but that concept can bring about the idea of self-control (something I lack in many other fields besides purchases, but anyways).
If there are people out there willing to purchase the CE with their top reason being they want the maps early, then they need to learn some self-control, man.
Dirtball trying to give out financial advice to other people, fascinating. Dirtball trying to make himself feel more like a man by calling people cowards, fascinating. Dirtball trying to puff up his chest and say Internet squabbles on a messageboard is "real business, really fascinating. You heard it hear folks, Internet serious business!
Too many HaloGAF people have a stick up their ass and feel it's their Holy responsibility to defend the actions of Bungle. They then get all pissed off and whiny like little children and stomp and throw fits when someone wants to do something that is best for themselves.
Aside from a couple people, almost all of HaloGAF has acted like children toward Halo Wars. You know the story from Bungle's side and no one elses. Microsoft bad, Bungle good! Anyone who wants to spend their OWN money on the Halo Wars Collector's Edition is evil and is a coward and is not worthy of being a Halo fan. You know presumptious that sounds? Who the hell are you to say what a Halo fan should or should not do? You're a fucking poster on a messageboard and you have some God-given self righteous attitude because you like a developer?
If you don't want to buy the Halo Wars CE, don't buy it. But don't act like a child and attack other people who do want to buy it. You can try to wrap it up in some underdog story of poor little Bungle and how they're being pushed around by big bad Microsoft. Not one person bitched and complained this much about Realtime Worlds when it was probably the only way to get in the Halo 3 Beta. If anything, people were excited about Crackdown's entry. Just like RTW, Ensemble didn't choose this for Halo Wars. And you guys are getting pissed off over a game you might like simply because it has some maps to a game.
Quit with your self-righteousness, you're not fooling anyone. Bungle doesn't need defending by a bunch of Interent fanboys. And Microsoft sure as shit doesn't give a damn what you guys think either.

I agree. But unless I'm mistaken, if folks like Dax and Kibbles, who are both big Halo 3 fans, want to buy Halo Wars based on their impressions from reviews and/or the demo, that is bad? Of course since they're fans of Halo 3, getting access to the three maps early is icing on the cake for them. That's how I'm assuming thousands of players will feel.Domino Theory said:
