Are The 2 Paid Maps Worth The Points?
« on: May 18, 2006, 07:19:00 PM »

most maps are either, snow, city, or field. with not too much difference.

are these maps worth my hard earned 400 points that took me forever to get from the verizon contest?

despite the fact you dont seem too thrilled.. i think they sound decent...

just sucks i have so few points, so its either the CoD maps or a XBLA game.

thanks for the info

They're definately worth having, even tho only 1x map is new from scratch as the other 3x are taken from the single player level - the 1x completely new level is somewhat basic to say the least but the others are fun (for certain types of games)

Hopefully the July ones will be better.

Makes are worth it.....

The one with the tower gets old fast because its a sniper feast.. but the good news is.... it's easy as hell to throw grenades up there so it kind of equals it ok..

Oh.... shut up Kernal..... Its worth it rolleyes.gif

i actually ended up getting them, and the host had the rule of "no scopes" so it was pretty kick ass.

i think they are worth it.

well.. all my points so far =

500 from verizon
200 from a 70 dollar gold pack with i paid 15 for, sold the headset for 15, the card for 40 and got a 20 buck rebate on a game with

i got:
oblivion evil pic pack
hitman pic pack
2 CoD maps

worth it to me... if it was $$$ i probably wouldnt have gotten them, but they do add to an awesome game.

If you dont buy them and join a game where someone who did is hosting you can play. Can someone else confirm this cause Im pretty sure I was playing the Silo one last night and I havent purchased the 2 maps.

i thought they got kicked out  when game launched...the silo is right next to a barn..can't see how you would beable to play it if you  never d/led to your system..but if you can play them ...great!.. 5 more coming real soon!

try to host and goto map selector and see if it's unlocked ...if so host it and see if it launches

opps I looked and the silo map I was playing on was Beltaut, France (spelling?) When you try to play on the new maps if you dont have them it boots you.
