The new maps are amazing! My favorit ones are..... all of them even containment (when matt doesn't have the tank ....got raped )! Turf is a must have. The sniper spawns on 3 of the maps ever one needs to find if you haven't already! Containment's sniper is in front of the base. It's tuching one of the ramps going to the base(if you haven't found it yet that should help alittle )

If the only reason your not buying it is to not pay for something twice, go in on the disk with a friend who wants to. Split it how ever you want, but I am gunna split the cost 75-25%. He pays 5 $ I pay 15, and so I'm not paying for the maps twice and I keep the disk. He gets 9 maps for 10$, and every thing works out.

Here's what happened last night for me:

Got the maps, got into Warlock, ran around, accidentally killed a few people, and then went over to Containment, I think? And then Sanctuary? And then Turf? Whereupon I got a phone call, and I kept hearing the messages appearing on my screen, but I often didn't see who they were.

If that was you, I apologize.

Also, it was really, really difficult for me to pay attention to a huge map like Containment, and also message INCyr, who was on the other team, to ask him to open it up to invites, and then coordinate inviting someone, all whilst playing a somewhat frustrating game of capture-the-flag-while-Twizzler-practices-with-the-tank-some-more-even though-we-just-GOT-this-map-for-cry-eye-could-you-just-let-up for-one-freaking-minute-hotshot-and-let-us-acclimate? that was at a steady 16 people for some time, because suddenly everyone comes out of the woodwork and wants to play.

If that was you, I apologize again.

Also, judging by some of the sugar-induced messages I got from Jinxie, it became quickly apparent to me that I wasn't receiving some message notifications at all. A bit later in the evening I was blue screening/lagging out of games, so it's possible I missed a whole mess of invite requests, on account of me not being able to stay in a game to save my life.

If that was you, NO APOLOGIES -- screw you, pal, my blue screen is more painful than your lonely, stable, speedy lonely lobby!!


(just kidding)

That said, I LIKE Containment, and I think there are some great possibilities there. I kinda wish there were more boxes, though. It'd be nice to play with blocking tunnels or certain access points along the front, just to be able to change the map a bit, for it is so very symmetrical. I wish I had been able to explore the middle a bit more, though, but seeing as Twizzler was in love with his tank, I will have to load it up on my own and do some quiet exploration.

You might sux0rs on the sword cancel, because it doesn't exist anymore. (oh, wait, you probably just mean the cancel. lunging is out, though. sadly.)

Parties were closed ... I am not sure why. I think people wanted to be able to explore the maps in relative peace, and so opted to prevent the normal levels of chaos caused by various combinations of beekeepers-and-their-friends.

I was party leader for a while, and I did not close my party.

HOWEVER - if you get an invite, please be sure to indicate in your request that you'd like to bring 4 or 5 extremely rowdy people, or not. A lot of the time I try to gauge how many people I can bring in before we hit 16, and a lot of people did NOT respect that, and just kept inviting.

Twizzler ended up getting shut out of a party because he left to make a custom CTF (secondary battle rifle, essentially, since the rumor is that matchmaking for Containment will have that particular setting) ... how frustrating, you know? And I know you guys have ears and can listen, but it took several minutes that would be better left to blowing things and each other up, sitting in the lobby, uncomfortably trying to determine who needed to leave in order to let Matt back in.

Also, if we're saying that we're exploring, and you really want in, be sure to respect that, and don't start killing. I was able to get a few people into the mix that assured me they wouldn't be total dorks about it, but I swear, some of you have no self-control!

Including me! I just started stickying people like crazy on Warlock (or, well, TRYING to), so I suck, too!

Waaaaah!

God I had sooo much fun on sanctuary before I left yesterday. I was on the team where no one at all knew the maps and the other team knew it pretty much completely and I just sat there with my sniper/sword combo and killed everything that moved. It was the multiflag touch return game we played. I might have died about 6 times where as I had around 60 kills. It was goooooooooood. Then my team caught everything that got past me adn went for our flag. Eventually they got through and scored, because we didn't even try to go on offense, and by then I had to leave but sheesh, it lasted probably an hour n 1/2 before I took off, and there was still only one score.
All the maps were freaking awesome for actualy games, exploring them was not so fun tho...

PS- Turf and Containment make me sad, too many freaking invisable walls to go anywhere too much fun, they suxxors!1!!oneeleven!!11!

[Clayfoot]

I got killed so much last night...

Now, can we just go back to the maps where I can find everything, please?

I have no idea how to defend the Containment base. My current best guess is a Brute Shot stationed directly in front of the teleporter.

I do appreciate all of the hidden/protected routes across the map. I forsee most of the firefights shifting to those tunnels and trenches, while a few holdouts struggle on the surface with tanks, banshees, and rockets.

Oh! This all reminds me:

What is UP with this straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange phenomenon where we have an INVITE ONLY party, and two or three mysterious dudes show up, and won't say who they are?

Their icons indicate they have communicators and microphones, and they obviously got there by the good graces of someone's invite, and yet!

And yet!

When I ask (nicely!) who they are, and who they know, and how they got there?

None of the new people answer! It's as if they just have microphones for show! They like wearing headsets in their spare time, just for kicks!

Additionally! NO ONE ELSE in the lobby cops to inviting them! It is so mysterious!

What the heck is up with that? Because you know what makes it notable? About 70% of the time, those mysteeeeeeeeerious new, silent people become raging poopyheads inside of the game, and I really, really don't need to have racist/misogynistic/trollish dialogue during custom games, when I get my daily recommended allowance during big team battle.

I don't boot people willy-nilly; you know that. But that sort of behavior is really beginning to chap my hide somethin' fierce.

[Tiny]

I didn't know people still said "Chap My Hide"... Hey but you go ahead and boot them, I do it all the time if someone ends up in my party and they are being "poopy heads"
On a side note, I may have exagerated a wee bit about that last game, but Sanctuary is my new fav map so I'm allowed a bit of poetic liscence*only spelled right* I'm at school now, *sad face* but I will jack myself back into the game as soon as I get home!!! Now back to spanish homework and filling out my scedual for my senior year...

I've read somewhere that you can't copy the maps to memory cards. Don't know if it's due to size or some copy protection, but it's not possible. I don't know if I read that on bungie.net forums or hbo forums.
