I was hoping for the ability to place lights, however, this map doesn't seem like the kind of map where placeable lights really has much purpose. It's just way too constricted and it's not really dark enough anyway (as mentioned in previous posts).

But yes, the quality of a map is directly proportional to the number and magnitude of mancannons located in the map.


EDIT: This makes me want to do something..

I think Tural's and Kirk's accounts have been hacked by Bungie employees...That or they've been hired by them.

Noone else thinks like that, so it is the only plausible conclusions!

I love it. At first, it reminded me of some map from a James Bond game. I forgot what though. Or maybe it was Splinter Cell.. It was along time ago.

Anyone else notice this:
What is this? I dont see anything in any other pics that look remotely close to this. And this isnt the first odd thing I noticed in these pics.

Perhaps. Bungie has stated that, as of now, they have no plans for it to be free, but I'm guessing it will be eventually.

Yes, it will become free just as all other mappacks have become free. Every mappack from Halo 2 and the Heroic one from Halo 3 have both become free. It's just a matter of time. Whenever they release the next mappack (The Mythic Mappack) then these maps will become free.

Then why are they worth anything to start with? People like me, who have great patience, can get then for free which might feel like a week to them!

Bungie had to put their hard work and effort into making these maps, and they're doing their job, so they should get paid for it.

If you want the honest truth, I think the only reason they make them free is so that they can put them into matchmaking without all the whining from the people who refuse to pay.

Agreed with dx. Anyways about the weird looking ledge thingy on the previous pictures....How is that a leg when it looks like it has an underneath?
