Defiant Map Pack is here...

[xMortyZx]

New map pack is out guys. Cost 800mp.

What do we think of the maps??

[ShurikenGan]

wow really..i love reach but i dont even have the first map pack haha now theres another one

[MidKnight]

ummmmm, as of what i heard, its pretty nice, as in nice map, not MLG Friendly though, or... no yet =] Bring the forgers! we need NEW NEW V4 maps haha

[Mosquito]

I have no use for these maps unless any of them are used for MLG. I wasted $10 on the last map pack and wont do it again.

[Panda]

I got them at 8 this morning. Their.... ehhh......

Condemned (Space map) Is ok I suppose, minus the fact that the only thing people do is sit in the anti-gravity area. Gets annoying after a while :/

Highland (BTB Map) is, once again, ok. I only played it once, and could barely find anyone. Its almost TO big o.0

Haven't played the FF Map yet.

tl;dr Its Not worth 800.

From what I've heard they don't sound too great, I feel like bungie just likes to make big maps that look pretty as opposed to actual well functioning maps in their map packs, but that's just my opinion ;)

[First Option]

I'm fine with another Big Team Battle/Invasion map, at least when I have a big party started, their are more big maps to play on. The space looking map (can't think of name) is ok. It has a Halo CE feel to it with all the running around (minus the armor abilities and space). I'd rather firefight be an add-on rather then take a map slot in the map pack. Saying this, I like the last map pack better then this one. Anchor 9 was competitive. Tempest was fun for a non-mlg map. I'd recommend both map packs for those looking for new maps rather then those looking for new MLG maps.

[TLN Darkside]

I have given up on Bungie making good competitive maps. If MLG ends up picking up a map from this or any map pack then I will get it. But until then, nope.

[Brixxx]

Just downloaded the maps, theyre fun not MLG but still fun.

[Eclipse]

They can't even do that. Example Gears of War 1 EOD

[americanbash]

This map pack is actually made by 343 studios, not Bungie.

[Vivacity]

Eh =/. Another waste of $10, unless forgers can do something incredible with Highlands.

[Brixxx]

After playing the maps for a bit i think i'll like them alot more once there in a playlist where everyone doesn't vote 1 flag highlands over and over again. I only played condemned once and it seemed pretty good actually.

BRB finally got slayer pro on condemned :)

[Conker]

can u search playlist or do you have to have the dumb maps last the last MP?

[MichaelMongrel]

You have never had to have to maps to play any playlist other than DLC. The message you see come up is that you do not have the recommended maps, and you can still play without them.

[iUndrground]

Maybe the third map pack will be the charm. lol.
On topic: They need to make a map that is as good as forge world but with better objects.
I've also said a long time ago that condemned would not be good because of the anti-gravity room.
I heard this map pack is better than the 1st, but its still not good as people anticipated.

[Imp3nded]

Highlands is honestly an incredible BTB map... And Condemned is also a fun room-based asymmetrical map (which these are few and far between during the last 3 halo games). I love them. =)

This map pack is actually made by 343 studios, not Bungie.

Can we have a source plz? :)

And if you haven't noticed, they are still trying to make Reach a casual game because casual gaming is where the money is at. That is why they keep releasing Invasion and BTB maps. Maybe someday they will realize that nobody plays this game casually anymore. One day.

[Antidote]

I'm actually playing it right now. First game I went +20 but still lost. It's just fun to wreck the casual players every now and then :D

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Very few people realize that. :)

[Smallz08]

I completely agree with what chickens said... I would have posted it earlier but I honestly did not read all the post as soon as him asking for proof I knew I saw it somewhere so I did some research real quick and posted it.

[KRILLIN]

Isn't there supposed to be a new forge map?

[Pegasi]

here you go chickens


http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#Defiant_FAQ

As I was about to say, but that source states anyway, they weren't even made by 343. They were made by Certain Affinity under the supervision of 343.

EDIT: @ KRILLIN, sadly not. There was a vague rumour of a covenant themed forge map but it amounted to nothing. Hopefully we get one at some point which resolves the technical issues with what we have now in terms of forge canvases, not just another forge world with a new aesthetic and all the same framerate issues.

[inheritor13]

is it the pit remake?

y'all should check it out. It plays a lot like the pit with big differences in the way it looks but very similar in layout

To be honest this really didn't need it's own thread, you could have just posted in here (http://thelannetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?2581-Defiant-Map-Pack-is-here...), or the +1 thread. And don't double post please! Thanks.

Bungie didn't make this map pack.

I play casually! With DMRs and preferrably no radar. :)

Morgan; the link you posted redirects the user back to this page. I'm pretty sure that wasn't your intention. Since you know better than I on how TLN works can you elaborate on what consitutes a thread and what doesn't so I don't make the same mistake in the future?

I merged the unnecessary thread started by inheritor13 with this one (where it should've been posted in the first place) which is why it now redirects back to this thread.

The post wasn't directed at you in any way. ;)

[Sheeps]

There good big team maps, but not for 4v4. :(

Heuer89, thanks for clarifying. As you can tell I'm a noob trying to get a feel for the site. I sincerely appreciate the post. Do you mind if I contact you on your profile page regarding future questions I may have? Don't want to generate any unnecessary work you may have to do as a moderator.

that they expect me to pay money for this is funny to me, because eventually it will be free. i have no use for them so ill stick to the 4-5 maps MLG uses... bungie has never been that great at making maps for FPS's, they think this game is an MMO or something.
