Finally, Foundry is the ultimate Forge map – players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of. There are no refunds for this item.

I haven't had the chance to get them yet. What do people think of them?

They're pretty good. I like Standoff most, pretty cool map with no sniper, but I don't like Rats Nest that much, pretty boring and very small.

**TheMasterChef** · 12-11-2007, 10:39 AM

I wish they were not worth points.

**FrozenIpaq** · 12-11-2007, 10:48 AM

Foundry is not fun with the 6v6 they have setup :/ there's always someone spawning behind me soon after I do or always 2v1 it seems (me being the 1 obviously)

Rats Nest and Standoff are good maps to play with VIP I think - Standoff gets my thumb sup as best of this pack

I take it they are required to have in order to play online ranked

Nah, Bungie never does that until the maps are actually free.

However, there is it's own Matchmaking setting to play ONLY the new Downloaded maps. As far as I can tell it's team based game. No FFA...(By that I mean I have no encountered any FFA games which I doubt there is)

I am kinda eager to see how people will edit the new map called "Foundry", since it is entirely made of forge objects.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 12-11-2007, 08:29 PM

The Map pack is pretty sweet, I like every map and now I can enjoy Halo 3.

**twelve** · 12-11-2007, 08:30 PM

I left the maps downloading when i left for work.

This is the first FPS I've ever bought DLC for. Then again this is the first FPS I actually enjoy online.

Rats Nest looks cool, I like the smaller more enclosed maps.

**Moose** · 12-12-2007, 05:36 AM

My damn card got credited the other day for Live, so I've gotta wait to get the Map Pack. 250 facking points off.

I hope it doesn't take long!

**Mister Chief** · 12-12-2007, 05:45 AM

I think I'll wait.

**The PANIC.** · 12-12-2007, 05:55 AM

There okay. I've only played a couple games on the DLC playlist, it's not ranked and I hate social. So I haven't had much use for the new maps...
