THE VERDICT by Patrick Shaw Patrick Shaw's Avatar Good stuff on the way for 360 owners, and in these economic times, spending ten bucks on new content for great games like Gears 2 and Halo 3 isn't a bad deal. Can't wait to play the snow-themed Gears of War 2 levels, which look awesome.

$10 for new maps is to much if you ask me. If you can buy a full game with 16 maps for $60. then 3 maps should be $3 to $4.

Cool, I'll probably pick up the Gears 2 maps. halo maps, I'm not too sure. Probably not, though I'm sure they'd be fun, but I dont play halo much.

I like how Bungie has had Halo 3 DLC streaming out for a year and a half now. A testament to the multiplayer staying power.

Here comes the moaning and complaining about DLC prices. NOBODY is forcing you or twisting your arms to buy them. As one person said, the Halo maps are always worth the money.

those gears 2 maps look so beast. just not sure if they are $10 beast... so not sure if im gettin those or not. and halo forget it and ill wait till their 4th pack comes out to get these free

I too think $10 is too much for a map pack, especially since the legendary map pack is only 600 points to purchase. I'm still going to buy this though but I may wait alittle while first.

Bungie announced six new mythic maps and if you look at your achievment descriptions you can see five of the six names. When will the three that didn't come with Halo wars LCE come out?
