Woohoo! I'm assuming they'll give SWAT it's own playlist? That's how it should be.

[Tengo Juego]

That's what it says.
I believe it's coming 10/10 or so.

October is all that was mentioned. Sooner than later would be great. At least get the SWAT separate playlist in there.

Great. They'll sell us another three maps for $10 when the game only includes nine.

I really don't hope they go the MW2 and try to rape with $15 map packs.

with bungie I'm sure they wont sell crap and then charge 15

10 maybe but I doubt 15 unless Microsoft steps in

Oh, I know. Bungie is quality. Also, from what I've heard about the new Forge, users can create entirely new and unique maps. Is that true?

I loved how the old Halo map process went, way back to Halo 2. If you were hardcore you could pay $10 right away and get the new maps. If you were someone like me you could wait a few months and get them free.

Charging for maps is lose-lose because you are dividing the community. Even some hardcore players can't afford extra money for maps. At least with the old program you could get them for free eventually.

But since M$ has the final say and Halo is one of their biggest cash cows I can see them milking it for all it's worth, especially with it being the last Bungie Halo.

I just hope I'm wrong.

I am going to dominate the SWAT playlist.

why would they remove classic slayer? it seems to get voted on to play alot

i thought this was interesting on that bungie news link

We’ve noticed that plenty of players with hard drives are opting not to install their copies of Halo: Reach. That’s like licking the chocolate coating off a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup and defiantly tossing the delicious center you've already paid for into the garbage– Halo: Reach has been optimized to run from your Xbox 360’s Hard Drive! You want significantly faster loading speeds, don’t you?

The only thing that downloading it does it make loading campaign faster (from what I have seen anyway). And honestly, I don't have a problem waiting 30 seconds for it to load up.
