Damn it, now I'm going to have to buy them tonight when I get home. I hope you're all happy!

I can't wait to play them!! Turf sounds like one of the best, but I'm really looking forward to Sanctuary as well. Containment seems to huge to me! I don't know if I'll like it ... Will see.

Even cheap ass /me is going to break down and buy the maps (even though I don't play enough). I figure:

1. We are all going to die anyway that is such a small amount of money for the untold amount of joy it may bring.

2. I can just skip lunch this week and make up $6 (and let me get home earlier to play on Wed!)

Which reminds me:
Team Training this and every Wed 8pm EST till 10 EST (or bored)

We can play with NEW maps and leave the late adapters out!

hmm, anyone else having trouble getting it? the bar goes up, but then it stops with an error. if i hit "download" again, it continues from where it left. I've done this 3 times and i'm only about 1/4 of the way done, its annoying.

CoffeeJedi, there have been some folks experiencing trouble with the download (it took one poor fellow over on HBO an hour to download the free maps alone) but the great majority have managed download times of 10-20 minutes for all 4 maps combined. It took me just under 10 minutes.

I don't know what causes the speed discrepancy and connectivity issues... I guess to be safe make sure something else isn't trying to monopolize your connection. The maps *are* over 100 MB combined.

-- Steve took a quick tour around them earlier this evening. Gosh, they're purty.

New Maps

[CoffeeJedi]

wow, i was gonna pop on for a game or two just now, but i see its full hopefully Halo 3 will allow 32 players!

i got the maps eventually it was just kinda annoying

anyway, my roommate, Cyphermage, bought the other 2 maps, so my dilemma of whether to buy them or not has been solved

[regnevah]

When playing CTF on sanctuary, please turn off the touch to return flag option...took an hour for one capture

[vortech]

GO go team peer pressure.

I bought maps I will buy again that will be free. I feel like a mark, but at least I'm in good company P)

The new maps are awesome. I think I want to have Containment's children.

Fun times. Let's do it again soon, eh?

Further madness on the new maps:

Turf is indeed great for King of the Hill games and Territories. My crew and I did a bunch of custom games I've made on each of the maps (save containment), and Turf is definitely the man for both those games. Give me command sometime and we can all try out "Nunavut Style" and "Tommy Guns" on that map.

We also did an Assault game, single bomb, on Sanctuary. Now that was cool. Vehicles were Spectres, and the bomb was touch return. Add that to a starting combo of SMG and Battle Rifle and you had one intensely crazy game. Another really fun one on that, I liked it.

Warlock is good for many games. We did a custom Oddball game that was absolute madness, American Gladiators which could've benefitted from more players, and a Ghostbusters game, which also could've used the same.

Standard Team Slayer games were great on all these maps. Try playing Turf with no radar to get a truly creepy experience of never knowing where death will come from.

My crew and I will as always be on wednesday night if anyone is interested in joining us. I wants to get some large scale games going on these maps.
