Halo 3 ODST to come with all DLC maps News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

9 February, 2009

Bungie has said all downloadable Halo 3 maps will be included with ODST later this year, including the upcoming Mythic map pack and the three exclusive expansion levels.

The Bungie website says all standard Halo 3 multiplayer maps will be stuffed inside ODST, too.

This makes Bungie's decision to add no further content to Halo 3 after the Mythic Map Pack and expansion ODST more palatable.

We've been treated to two map packs so far: Heroic and Legendary. The Mythic Map Pack will be a free extra for people buying the collector's edition of Halo Wars on 27th February, before being released as DLC on Xbox Live Marketplace shortly afterwards.

Bungie also released a free Cold Storage map on 7th July last year.

Head over to our Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack, Legendary Map Pack, and Cold Storage map reviews to find out more.

That makes it seem like a reasonable deal then. I feared it feel like half a game, but that's enough maps to make it playable enough, should you be the kind of crazy person that wants this but didn't want Halo 3. Like me.

That must make me a crazy person then, as I never really got into halo but for some odd reason i'm looking forward to this.

Haha, how retarded. I was going to get the Halo Wars special edition mainly for the extra maps but considering ODST will have them anyway I may as well not bother!

Lovely. That will save me a few points because I can wait for the Mythic maps.

Wow, glad I never bothered buying any of them! Really wanted to, but, y'know. I'm a tight-arse.

I’m not sure I like the look of that Shopto preorder advert, £37.98? You what?? I thought this was going to be offered as both DLC and a boxed version, if that cost is representative of the final build, both boxed and DL, then I shall be less inclined to purchase it. I hope that’s just a placeholder price as nothing has been announced yet! Has it?

Bungie should spend more time concentrating on making a proper Halo sequel - Halo 3 was lots of left overs from 2, that they couldn't fit in at that time for release on XB1. Halo 3 was a let down esp single player. This seems like a quick cash in, probably the same formula & graphics engine, but, no Master Chief.

Just a different character playing the same game with a new lick of paint - just a smaller game!

"Halo 3 was lots of left overs from 2"

/facepalm

It's called the continuation of a story.


"Halo 3 was a let down esp single player"

No it wasnt, and it's still the best FPS available on a console.


"This seems like a quick cash in"

It's called fan service, and is very welcome.


"probably the same formula"

You may have missed it but we've already been told that it will play very differently as you won't have the master chiefs superhuman abilities. You will not be going toe-to-toe with covenant, cracking skulls with melee attacks, jumping 10ft in the air.

@Widge

Whilst I appreciate the plaigerism (as it is the sincerest form of flattery), I'd prefer it if you were to shovel a little more coal into the ol' boiler, crank up the amperes, engage the brain clutch, and you know, write you own goddamn words you filthy pilfering tinker.

@ Petulant_Radish: I think I read somewhere it will cost about 30 dolars. Should translate to 25 Euro, I hope (wish?).
