All the new maps so far have been pretty crap, with the exception of Blackout and Avalanche (thats only because they were based on 2 of the best maps from Halo 1 & 2, but they still managed to mess up Blackout even though it was already perfect in Halo 2).

I can enjoy Rats nest and Standoff depending on the gametype, but other then that all maps that Bungie have made since the Halo 2 map guy quit have been utter ****, so in future don't expect too much

I really enjoyed cold storage so was half hoping these would be good. Oh well at least my flaming warthogs in halo wars keeps me amused

Cold Storage is one of the worst

Everytime it comes up people veto it every time.

The only thing it's good for is for people who can't get a kill with any other weapon besides assault rifle charge or the one hit kill weapons.

It's just too much of a cluster **** with anything more then 2 people.

Halo has a demo? And it's the best online available.

That's what happens when you search for Halo Wars and don't read the title properly ! :eek:

So....has anyone got the new map pack?

I'm tempted but if no one else here is i probably won't...

Alrik · 22 Apr 2009 at 17:27

Yes I've had it since Halo Wars came out and its nothing really that special.

Sandbox is the best of the 3 and is great if you like to build things in forge, if not just wait until Halo 3:ODST since it will contain every single map already on the disc.

Plus the matchmaking play list for the Mythic DLC is utter balls meaning the maps are even less enjoyable.

That's my plan

Alrik · 22 Apr 2009 at 17:32

Why? You dont even like the game

You won't play unless Krono does and he can't play because he lives with his parents and will be living with his parents till he's 40 the way his house is coming along...

Kreeeee · 22 Apr 2009 at 17:34

It's not bad for some spray and prey with friends.

Alrik · 22 Apr 2009 at 17:37

Well stop jerking off over SF4 and play sometime then

I don't even bother sending invites anymore because I usually get told no or you complain about lag and run around trying to team kill me throughout the whole match.

That's because you're the fall guy when krono isn't about.

I do think it's a shame that our little group won't ever move on from Halo. I play more with uni friends now as they move onto new games with me.

Logsi · 22 Apr 2009 at 17:44

SF4 is awesome though!

Alrik · 22 Apr 2009 at 17:47

You know I would like a new game to play, but everything that gets released is utter crap. I said I would try Starcraft 2 when it comes out and it appears to have sorted all the things out that I didn't like about the first game. But again I can't see myself playing it for long as with every other games that get released.

I only ever go back to Halo 3 since it is a game I am familiar with and I can enjoy it with or without friends.

It's the sort of game I have to play side by side people though, I'd get bored of it far too quickly online. So I'm not gonna waste £40 (+ how ever much for a stick since 360 pad sucks for fighting games).

I play about half online with OcUK guys and half offline with Uni mates. I agree that if you just play online it's quite dull and the lag stops a lot of the finer tricks from working (bulldogging and reaction based stuff mostly).

I'll bring my sticks to the next LAN.

Ain't that the ******* truth.

Builders are done(at long bloody last), just waiting on the carpets now, then get all the stuff back to my house and all set up. I'm hoping to be back online by the middle of May.

I can not convey how much I have missed online gaming... Actually gaming in general.

I just don't know where to start thought, I have really missed Halo3... Really missed (probably get over that within 10 min of playing it though) I never got a chance to play HaloWars or RA3 online properly so I really want to give them both a go. And I want to get back into GOW2.

Apart from SF4 what is everyone playing these days?

Shamikebab · 29 Apr 2009 at 13:02

Nothing, been waiting for you so I can play Halo 3 again

Zero5 · 29 Apr 2009 at 13:31

And I have returned to the grand old UK once more so I'm online at more reasonable times. I'm not ashamed to say that I've missed playing Halo with you guys. I didn't think you were active on here any more Krono but I see there was some sort of name change.
