Red vs. Blue vs. the Halo 3 'Heroic Map Pack'

by Ross Miller { Dec 10th 2007 at 3:33PM }

Need a crash course for Halo 3's new "Heroic" map pack? The Rooster Teeth crew have reprised their Spartan roles for a special Red vs. Blue episode showing off the three new maps due out tomorrow. Those who persevered through last night's Spike TV VGAs already got to see the video, but for those who had better things to do (like what? No, really, we want to know) or want to watch it again, we've embedded the video above.

The "Heroic Map Pack," featuring new maps Foundry, Standoff and Rat's Nest, are due out tomorrow for 800 MS points ($10) or free if you wait until sometime early next year.

yeah, that sucked.

RvB has always been brilliant, and what better way to display the new maps to make sure theyre a worthwhile download than these guys? You'd prefer some boring voiceover or, not even a commercial at all?

Negativecool @ Dec 11th 2007 2:06AM

I would prefer no commercial at all dude. Look what site we're on.
All I need is info, not some tool marketer approaching guys with actual talent and creativity to sell his product.

Hahaha man I sure missed Red vs Blue.

Ok be honest since the split with Microsoft the programming budget just ain’t what it used to be, is that it?"

I lol'd

I hope Halo 4 features Eyeball 3000. Enough with Mr. Spark.

Idiot Face @ Dec 10th 2007 4:01PM

The enemies in the Halo series DO NOT look like LEGO® Bionicle Characters, but then again my name is Idiot Face :-(

Mr.ESC @ Dec 10th 2007 4:08PM

What is this Bionicle you speak of?

Ninja @ Dec 10th 2007 6:00PM

The enemies don't look anything like Bionicles, but the Rogue and EOD Spartan armor types definitely have an uncanny resemblance to the toys.

i was playing mass effect last night

gonk @ Dec 10th 2007 4:26PM

hm, decent video. i've never watched a red vs blue vid before, but there were a few laughs :)

Antwan @ Dec 10th 2007 4:27PM

The video seemed to indicate that the maps become free on December 26th but in the article you say "early next year." Well, which is it?

Jedijoe9 @ Dec 10th 2007 4:59PM

I think they were implying that you can play all of the people that receive the game for Christmas.

Ethan @ Dec 11th 2007 5:55AM

A lot of people will get Halo 3 for Christmas and will be playing it on XBox live for the first time on the day after.

>but for those who had better things to do (like what? No, really, we want to know)

Oh, let's see... Playing in traffic, setting myself on fire, base jumping without a parachute, making friends with some of the exhibits in the "incredibly venomous creatures" section of the local zoo...
