This was missreported as March 3 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace - confused with the North American release date for the game.

so to counter killzone, you have to bring out all ur DLCs, halo wars, ODST expansion...halo maps ROFL DAAAAM DESPERATE!!! CANT STOP THE TRAIN

unicorndeathcamp5555d ago

but halo is like the #1 played game online and it was released a while ago. Im excied for killzone 2 as well but its kind of goofy to say stuff liek that.

Stryfeno25555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

If you are not worried, why comment? With SF4, Halo Wars, GTA4 DLC and now new HALO 3 Maps, Xbox owners have plenty to keep them busy in Fed. I did not see Sony doing this on Xbox big games launch.

Wait until MS release their 2009 360 launch titles. You haven't seen nothing yet.

1233605555d ago

halo ain,t number 1 no more,and to get the maps first you got to buy the halo wars special edition package.wheres free in that its another dlc rip off,thank f*ck i bought a ps3 last year.i don,t know one person who wants halo wars period.

unicorndeathcamp5555d ago

thank you for replying. Secondly, whats number 1 than? IM pretty sure you dont have to buy halo wars for this map pack. If your so convinced that MS is a big bad company who charges for everything, look at your ps3 home who charges for clothing for your character, where its provided for you free of charge on MS. Than, look at LBP, where they charge you for new outfits for your sackboy, its likE virtual barbies.

bohemian 235555d ago

No you do not have to buy Halo Wars to get the maps you knothead. If you buy Halo wars you get them before they are available on Marketplace. Yes it is a marketing strategy by MS but after all they do try to make money. Why do people make posts that are completely fabricated?

Blaze9295555d ago

Only three maps!? The way they were making it sound, i thought it was gonna be like maybe 5-6 maps. What really gets me is that its gonna be $10 for only three maps but knowing me i'll buy it anyway haha.

EDIT: Yeah checked the achievement list and there are some achievements listed for finding a skull on a maps not included in the pack. Guessing the halo wars exclusive stuff?

BUKKAKALYPSE5555d ago

Is, if you order the Halo Wars LE you get orbital, sandbox and assembly with the game..if you choose not to buy halo wars you can buy these maps a week later on the marketplace.

for the other 3 maps (you thought there 6 and there are) Heretic, longshore and i forget the last one but anyway they should be coming via the same package deal with HAlo ODST..
hope that clears it up for you

ADD me if you want to play (get owned) Gt: SPAZMATTIC

dragunrising5555d ago

@ above, Thanks for clearing that up. I wonder though if the other 3 maps releasing with Halo 3: ODST will be available on the marketplace following the games release. I plan on buying the game regardless. It's always frustrating when friends don't have the newest maps :-p Halo 3 still has the multiplayer to beat in my opinion. Started playing it again after a long hiatus; still fresh.

BUKKAKALYPSE5555d ago

Yea ..it happens to me too..i'll go on a break from Halo and play gears, fall out etc but I always come back to Halo because it always delivers and bungie continues to support it. Gonna play tonight I think.

Bladestar5555d ago

Sony lovers don't waste time to start bashing.

Let's get something very clear:

A) Halo beat any game ever made on a Playstation platform in terms of sales.

B) Halo 2 is still being supported by Microsoft and people can still play it; unlike any PS2 game.

C) Halo 3 is still being supported by microsoft by releasing new maps and content unlike practically every PS3 that once released is abandon. Where are all the Resistance 1 DLC?

Halo/xbox 360 games are not going to complain about the fact that years after their game purchase the game keep getting patches, improvements and new content; while you Sony leg humpers have to rely on new games that 6 months from now will be forgotten and not supported by the developers.

DrRage775555d ago

completely agree with all of your points....for sony fanboys, it seem very important for them to hype every new game coming out for their system, yet they forget about those games a few months later and so does sony...nice "future-proof" system. sony seems content releasing sequel after sequel instead of building their games up for extended playability and replay value...

king dong5555d ago

also bladestar, there's a clone of you loose on here! who's more than just a sony leg-humper mate...infact it seems like he inserts more than discs in his ps3!

bubbles up mate!

Stryfeno25555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

Agreed.....Let see these droids spin this.

Rich16315555d ago

I 'm looking forward to these!

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii101d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies101d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog138d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned138d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c138d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb138d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72137d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman138d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows137d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai149d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ149d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil149d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
