Legendary Map Pack H3 Good or Bad?

The Legendary Map Pack for Halo 3 is worth the measly $10. The maps are better than the Heroic Map Pack and the new items are very good. The ability to put filters on is pretty cool, but the thing that just puts me into awww is the amount of detail on the maps. Such as on Avalanche with the vehicles having snow on them and on Ghost Town with the rebar being twisted. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the maps a perfect 10. Not only are they fun to play on they also add new enviornments to play on which adds exciting twists to the gameplay.
Avalanche is a snow/icey enviornment with a huge cliff on the end of the map. There are only two, 2-way teleporters and this is the only map were you can use the Hornet. This map is really made for using vehicles. There are your standard Mongooses,and Warthogs there are also 2 Wraiths, but unfortanetly only 1 Ghost. There are several big man cannons which give you a quick boost around the map.
Ghost Town is a wrecked, small city with jungled-up pieces of rebar and stone. It is slowly being taken over by the forest which allows for unique gameplay with incredible detail. There is only 1 sniper, but not much room to use it to its full potential. The map in general is fairly small which means medium to close range weapons would be best for this map.
Blackout is argueably one of the best maps in the whole game it is a remake of Lockout in Halo 2. This map has several vantage points and a awsome background. There is still only 1 sniper, and the standard weapons on this map. Which I fell left a big missed opportunity for the game designers to go all out with some great weapons. However, once you have played this map you will want to keep playing it for days on end.
All of these maps offer great gameplay and for only $10 (I mean who doesn't have $10) are worth the money. Which, when compared to the Heroic Map Pack, is worth the sacrificed to buy them.

because i remember reading an interview with a bungie dev who said they will never be free (sorry, too lazy to find a link)

but it is possible that they will become free when the next map pack comes out, but microsoft/bungie isn't saying anything because they don't want to hurt sales of the maps, which happened with the heroic pack

but i think you should just buy the legendary maps-they're pretty good, plus you need them for double xp weekends so it's worth it.

iNickk5788d ago

Yea, I don't think they are going to be free.

There is, however a free map coming out on the 7th of July.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii120d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies120d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer157d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog157d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned157d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c157d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb157d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72157d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman157d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos156d ago (Edited 156d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows156d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72168d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai168d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ168d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil168d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
