Foundry FTW!

I'm sure a lot of you have gotten your hands on the Heroic Map pack for Halo 3. I know some think it isn't worth the money, but after messing around with them until the early hours of the morning I realize that they are well worth $10. Yea I know, they should have came with the game at retail, but there's nothing we can do about it. However, I will state that this map pack has got to be the best piece of DLC I've gotten my hands on yet. Hell, I consider Foundry alone to be worth $10, but I love Forge, so that may just be me.

Anyway, not even 24 hours into the release of these maps people have already managed to create some classics that are really nice. I would say in about 2 weeks we will be seeing pin point accurate recreations of other maps as well. Believe me, almost anything is possible with Forge on Foundry. Of course none of the remakes have the look of the old maps, but they play pretty much the same.

If you have the map pack, please take the time to check these out. They're worth it and they'll give you more ideas as to what you can make.

Hang 'Em High
Midship
Turf
Ascension
Lockout
Warlock
Foundation

I think that these remakes alone are worth the $10. Each one is being tweaked so keep an eye out for different versions and I'm sure Bungie will eventually put the best on their Favorites. Also, all credit goes to the designers.

Check out the Community Maps to find others. There's also some Gears of War maps if you're into that.

Those look pretty neat. Looking forward to trying out the Turf remake, that was one of my favorites from Halo 2.
