“Halo:


Reach” Defiant Map Pack<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>



Overview:
Available on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points on March 15, the “Halo: Reach”
Defiant Map Pack introduces three stunning new battlefields for the most
critically acclaimed shooter of 2010, and includes all-new Achievements worth a
total of 150 Gamerscore. With maps set on a giant orbital station high above the
burning surface of the planet, hidden inside the forest of a military wilderness
training facility, and dug into the remnants of a civilian mining site, the
Defiant Map Pack brings awesome new environments for Firefight matches and all
competitive multiplayer modes.<o:p></o:p>

Condemned:
Condemned takes place aboard Orbital Station Gamma, a massive space station high
in orbit above the planet Reach. Prior to the Covenant’s overwhelming invasion,
Orbital Station Gamma provided long range communications for UNSC fleets and a
vital lifeline between Reach and Earth. During the Battle of Reach, the station
suffered terrible punishment at the hands of the Covenant but a few fortified
sections remain intact, fully pressurized, and ready for combat. Condemned
supports 6 – 12 players in a variety of action-packed game types, including Team
Slayer, Team Objective and Free for All.<o:p></o:p>

Highlands:
Highlands takes place on the top-secret Military Wilderness Training Preserve on
Reach. The Preserve is a large, wooded area where Spartan super-soldiers
trained long before the war with the Covenant began. During the Battle of
Reach, the Preserve was the site of key battles between the alien invaders and a
group of Spartans who used their familiarity with these UNSC training grounds to
significant tactical advantage…but not everyone who enters these woods makes it
out alive. Highlands expands the fight with massive-scale engagements for 8 – 16
players in Big Team Battle, Team Slayer and Team
Objective.<o:p></o:p>

Unearthed:
Unearthed takes the battle for Reach to a large Titanium mine and refinery
located in the Viery civilian sector of the planet. This particular mine was
built to take advantage of the exposed titanium inside a massive meteor crater.
The titanium produced here is used in much of the UNSC hardware, from the
chassis of the Warthog to the meters-thick armor plating of capital ships like
the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. While this facility was quickly abandoned when the
Covenant arrived on Reach, it still has significant tactical (and economic)
value and it won’t be long before both humans and Covenant return to battle for
control. Unearthed allows up to 4 players to launch a counterassault against the
Covenant in Firefight and Firefight modes such as Generator
Defense.<o:p></o:p>

It's all good, just bought it cause I aint cheap.

[Untertainment]

Haha the map pack looks good xD I just wish I could buy it. It sucks being in school and having no job and no money. Thats why I am entering these contests xD
Haha after looking at this a second time. I sound like such a noob. It looks like I am lying to try and win xD But I have a question. Is Unearthed as good as Greenskull said?

[Greenskull]

Prostitution is the answer.

[Untertainment]

Why didn't i think of that?? 8-)

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Indeed the maps look good but i'm too cheap...errr i mean poor to buy it this week lol

I wish I was as good of a prostitute as you Green...Isn't that how you keep RUL up? xD
And Ganner, Hopefully you win :)

[Untertainment]

Yeah thanks for not realizing I am here Ganner...You sure do make a guy feel special xD

[Untertainment]

Indeed :D

Haha :P Well I can't wait to see when the first person wins :) I want to see their reaction xD It must be the greatest feeling ever xD "WOOHOO! I just robbed Greenskull of a free map pack code!" ;) xD

[Hegr]

From what I can tell, Unearthed looks like it will be the most fun to play. I like how its an open area and it also has CQB in buildings and obstacles that are placed around the map. I also like the fact that there are vehicles because vehicles add a different kind of play style.
Im not a fan of the low gravity area in Anchor 9 so I doubt ill be a big fan of Condemned. And as far as Highlands goes, I dont play Firefight very much. However, watching Greenskull's commentary about the maps, it looks pretty enjoyable.

I think Anchor 9 was jsut a test to see how it could be used. It was to small for it to be a good thing to base opinions on. The only way we can find out how good it works is to get try the map

[Sorarules20]

I already got it, and all the maps are great. one time on unearthed though we got our warthog stuck royally between a rock and a bigger rock. We got rocketed.

Pretty funny.

[Untertainment]

Nah!! I dont rip off Green, Instead i pwn him (whenever he's not watching on Reach) :D
Haha :P I like the little aside ;) Green is pretty great for doing this though. I mean, he doesn't have too :)

Between a rock and a hard place ;) xD That must have been awesome xD

Highland should be quite interesting, specially when playing with friends

Haha yes it will. I can only imagine the mayhem xD

But still, I dont like the extremely low gravity area. I like to be able to react instead of staying afloat where I cant move anywhere except for a preset path Im given when I hit the jump button.

It also makes me wonder how the "Classic" playlists are going to play out when they bring Halo 3 gravity and modifiers to some Halo Reach playlists.

I'm not a fan of low-gravity either honestly. But who knows, it could be good now. And yeah that has me confused also.

[BluDRAGUN]

Well, I'm glad their making a new map pack and the quality of the maps themselves actually being good. Not compared to any of those remakes that bungie made in Forge World. It gives me another reason to actually play reach, because my disappointment in it up to this point has driven me away from playing it. I personally can't wait to play these maps, but I only wish there were more of them I mean three for 800MSP just seems quite steep, and one of them being a Firefight map kinda lessens the value IMO. Granted, it does look like a pretty badass firefight map I just don't enjoy/play firefight a whole lot.

When talking about the actual quality of the maps, they seem absolutely amazing just the detail and depth they put in to making them look so good, and actually have them relate back to Reach's story. Just looking out the window of Condemned and seeing a huge dogfight between the Covenant and UNSC, or looking into the distance of Highlands and seeing the glassing of Reach. Overall, 343i I think have done a great job when it comes to visuals and such but I wouldn't know well they play just yet. This ended up little too long... :P

[Untertainment]

Oh! I do imagine how it'd go... Everyone awaiting on me to get on then mass murder me, a sort of "one man genocide" spewing blood all over the spawns lol

0.o Isn't that a little graphic for the forums xD Poor little Greenskull fans are gonna have nightmares now ;)

[RUL Jakeyy]

I actually quite like the idea of the low gravity zone. It looks quite open and large(easy target). It allows players to use various areas of the map instead of everyone running into the middle all the time.

[totoguy]

Can say that I'm excited about Unearthed. Glad there's finally a 'hog in there by default, and a rocket one, no less! :)

Running through grunts with 3 friends is as good as it gets...

I do agree that the visuals and little details that they put into the maps are absolutely amazing.

And if im not mistaken, who cares if your post is long? It gives more details and goes more in-depth and that is what greenskull is looking for.

[Untertainment]

Graphic??? Green's picture is graphic (damn Bieber cut...go get an haircut you Green bum :P) :D
Haha actually Bieber got a haircut. Having one as epic as Green must have messed with him psychologically. Thats how he got so messed up ;)

[Hegr]

I was never one to rush into the middle of the map. I usually rush the power weapons at the start then start camping with them or playing tactically. Id rather play smart than lose the power weapons to the enemy.

If Green is looking for long posts...I lost :/ xD

[totoguy]

Also, highlands looks huuuuuuge. I'm probably goings to keep dying for the first few sessions in there just because I'll be too busy exploring the place...

Haha I love the new map feel when you just explore. You have no other care in the world. Its awesome :)

"I will randomly pick four winners throughout the day based on activity in the thread and quality of responses."

Most of the time longer posts have quality because they go more in-depth. But this is not always the case.

[Untertainment]

All i can say is "it was as traumatizing as the next time i'll be when i'll play against Green at Halo" :/ (:D)

Haha is that when you realize again that "Wait a minute, Green isn't good at Halo 0.0" ;)

[xfuzzlex]

i love how everyone is playing nice now :D little bit too nice
maybe i wont win cause its 11 pm here and i wont stay up all night but i guess thats my fault not living in america or whereever you live
now about the maps:
i was very upset that bungie didnt create this mappack, so i was pretty curious what the maps would be like. but it turned out that certain affinity did a great job. highlands is kind of what i missed in reach, a mixture of bloodgulch and sidewinder, both awesome maps (oh halo 1 on PC good old days). hemorrhage doesnt give me the nostalgic feeling, but i think this one is awesome. condemned is quite interesting, but im not into those typical slayer maps. although the idea with the zerogravity room in the middle is awesome i'd call this the map i like the least ;P
now the firefightmap is a blast, i really wanted vehiclebased firefight and now i have it, lets hop into our rockethogs and eat some cake
i think ill chat a little bit with you ambitious guys trying your hardest and then ill call it a day ;

Haha I know how you feel about not winning. I have to leave later tonight. So I bet I won't win in time :( But in other news. This Map Pack looks great, I can't wait to try it out :)

[BluDRAGUN]

I know right? Especially a huge map like Forge World, until you figure out all that stuff out in the distance you can't exactly use.

[Hegr]

The cake is a lie

[Untertainment]

Actually its that "Wait a minute, i'm not that good at Halo" thing :/

HAHA thats me too...unless I am doing really MLG in a game. I either post in the top or at the bottom xD

Couldn't agree more. I would say for 800msp you should get four maps, but oh well. Also with one of them being a firefight map it does kinda limit it. I mean firefight is awesome in all but its not something you can play over and over again. By looking at unearthed it looks quite a decent map for multiplayer, if they just change a few things it would be a great objective based or slayer type map.

[xfuzzlex]

oh well, saw a lot of gameplay on that map and its pretty cool, theres actually a racetrack on the map and you can drive in circles while your gunner blows the crap outta those grunts

NO. I think that for 1200 MSpoints we should get 3 new maps and 2 rehashed. Hooray for CoD logic ;)

[totoguy]

I spent about an hour just exploring around Boneyard... Imagine how much time I spent flying around Forge World :)

its always been like this, but yeah: firefightmaps get boring after playing them too often IMO but i wont complain because they brought in vehicle madness :)

Oh i hated that. In all the ViDocs they made Forge World look revolutionary. They made it sound so good, but in all honesty. I think Sandbox was better in Halo 3 :P

[BluDRAGUN]

Pshhh as usual, you'll end up in my back trying to kill me :P

Everyday of every week I be killing ganner with my sneaks. And assassination skills.

[Hegr]

I spent about an hour just exploring around Boneyard... Imagine how much time I spent flying around Forge World :)

Forgeworld is a pretty simple map until you start getting to the map inside of forgeworld. Then its almost like exploring each map inside of forgeworld and not forgeworld itself.

[BluDRAGUN]

Oh i hated that. In all the ViDocs they made Forge World look revolutionary. They made it sound so good, but in all honesty. I think Sandbox was better in Halo 3 :P

That pissed me off to no extent how you could use only 1/10 of what they were claiming you could use. And I would agree that Sandbox was an awesome map.

[Untertainment]

Forge World still makes me mad xD Just hearing the name makes me cringe ;) But the sad part is....its the only map with "Good" Forging potential. Hopefully this will change soon :) Maybe even in this Map Pack :)

unfortunately :D cant wait for portal 2, kinda offtopic sorry^^

These maps dont seem like they have forge potential. I dont think they were intended to be forged other than maybe weapon and vehicle spawns.

You would be surprised dude. You can make a good Infection map in just about every map. Given the time to do so :)

You are not alone my friend :) We just need to wait until the next map like Foundry or Sandbox is released. The moment this is made the community will burst with good Maps and Games :)

[i ic3 c01d i]

I've been keeping my eye on this DLC since the spoilers first started pouring onto the internet.

Just from seeing the screenshots and watching the videos I can see that the maps are a masterpiece among map packs. They're so full of detail and variety it gives me goosebumps.

I'm mostly excited for the new firefight map "Unearthed." When I first opened Reach, one of the first things I was in search of was the next "Lost Platoon," but was quickly saddened to learn that there was nothing that came close to matching the sheer fun I felt while playing that map. 343 Studios have answered my prayers with this map and it's going to reinvigorate my firefight urges!

"Condemned" gets me excited because it looks spiffy and looks like a helluva lot of fun. There's so much stuff packed into these maps!

"Highlands" looks like a map that's gonna make me want to play Big Team Battle a lot more than normal. One thing about Boneyard and Spire is they can be a lil too big at times and everyone focuses on the center of the map and runs around all willy nilly. It's very annoying and makes the game subpar.

"Highlands" on the other hand, keeps the battles varied. From close quarters, to open fields, to quick vehicular manslaughter action, this map's got something for everybody. Looks like 343 Studios has got the nod of my head. I'm ready for these maps and I'm even more ready for the future!

Bring it on 343! I'm ready to kick ass and chew bubble gum! ...err... "I NEED A WEAPON! CAN YOU STICK IT?!"

[Hegr]

You would be surprised dude. You can make a good Infection map in just about every map. Given the time to do so :)

I was thinking more along the lines of a Team Slayer forged map. And yes, most map can be made into decent infection map, although so far Im not too pleased with how Halo Reachs infection playlist turned out. I dont think the maps are tuned for infection. Then again, Im saying that because there arent amazingly good hiding spots on the map like there were in Halo 3.

[BluDRAGUN]

Oh I hope to see the day...

your not, i heard a lot of people complaining about that, but people are complaining about everything these days ;D just take a look in bungie-forums, its everywhere

[Untertainment]

Oh I hope to see the day...

It will be a great day Blu :) We shall party like kings on that day :)

For some reason Halo 3 customs was so much better. There was always someone to join and the maps were awesome. But for Reach there's hardly ever any customs going on. :(

[Untertainment]

Alright here I go...My map pack overview.
Unearthed - Just like everybody else, I was looking forward to the successor to the great ODST Firefight. Sadly, it was a failed wish and it never came. Now I hear Green say that the map is just like Lost Platoon. This has reinspired me in my search for the great map and I want to see if its here :)
Highlands- It looks like a great new Slayer map. In my opinion, I think this looks like the best one so far :P Not much else to say, except that it seems to have a nice layout :)
Condemned- Last one to talk about. All my thoughts on Condemned are "Did they make the Low Gravity 'Good'" :P For this reason I would love to get the map pack and test it out with all of you on RUL.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post :P

[RUL Jakeyy]

OFFTOPIC 2 secs lol... OMS!! I think this thread will break all (RUL) longest threads replied :O

It probably will. Every time I refresh there's about 10 more posts every time.

[xfuzzlex]

Im not too pleased with how Halo Reachs infection playlist turned out. I dont think the maps are tuned for infection. Then again, Im saying that because there arent amazingly good hiding spots on the map like there were in Halo 3.

you are so right, living dead playlist just got the default maps in it. that wouldnt be a problem but some maps are broken and bungie doesnt fix it. i mean seriously just place some softkillbarriers in asylum and the cage and of course swordbase right. its just that everyone is abusing these bugs, which pisses me off. pinnacle is the best map in my opinion because its challenging for the zombies to reach the house/building

[Hegr]

For some reason Halo 3 customs was so much better. There was always someone to join and the maps were awesome. But for Reach there's hardly ever any customs going on. :(

Most of the customs I ever played were Infection and there just doesnt seem to be any good Infection games going. Plus most of my friends are playing Fail Ops. Looks like I need to find some more friends that play customs.

[Untertainment]

Oh, Ice Cream and Doughnuts will fall, it will be such a glorious day!

YES YES YES. I can't wait :P
and Jakey. I wish this were more like Halo 3. We should change it...REACH REVOLUTION!!! :)

ok Back to Topic...how about that local sports team?? No...wait?? That's not right... I mean i wonder if this map pack will reflect 343s vision of Halo for the future??

Hopefully it does represent what they will do. Because it looks great as of now :)

[Hegr]

If this is 343's vision of Halo in the future, it looks like Halo wiill have a pretty good future post-Bungie era

[Drax 122]

I know I'm staff, but I can still contribute to the discussion right? lol

[BluDRAGUN]

Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post :P

No post is too long I suppose at least when its a quality or valid one. :P
Also, I do hope that Unearthed is that Firefight map that reminds me of Lost Platoon.

You can always contribute, you just wont be able to win.

I sure hope so 'cause from the vids i've seen so far they seem to have done good work :)
It looks like great work :P I just hope that they don't screw it up. Being the "New Guys" this will be hard on them

[BluDRAGUN]

When I heard 343 was making the Map pack I was actually somewhat relieved, just for the fact I know they're going to be dedicated to the Halo Universe and that they will try their hardest to make it look genuinely good.

Most of the customs I ever played were Infection and there just doesnt seem to be any good Infection games going. Plus most of my friends are playing Fail Ops. Looks like I need to find some more friends that play customs.
you can add me i am very often in very good custom lobbies by the map creators themselves or people who just like customs

[Untertainment]

I had little faith in 343 at first but after looking at these maps I have no worries.

These were my thoughts exactly :P

[i ic3 c01d i]

Unearthed is the Firefight map. Check online or the OP yo :).

Anyways, every time I see Unearthed it gets me pumped. One thing the current Firefight is missing is the spawning weapon stockpiles which I thought were a fun thing. I'm not a big fan of the weapon drops to be totally honest.

The vehicle combat in Unearthed makes up for the loss of the weapon spawns and makes firefight even more fun to play in Reach. I've been waiting for a long time for this and I certainly CANNOT wait! It will also help me get those vehicle commendations ;).

[Untertainment]

Also...Was there a winner yet? :P

[BluDRAGUN]

Also...Was there a winner yet? :P

Not that I'm aware of. :3

[xfuzzlex]

If this is 343's vision of Halo in the future, it looks like Halo wiill have a pretty good future post-Bungie era

hm certain affinity did most of work as far as i know, but i get your point.

[Untertainment]

Not that I'm aware of. :3

It says he is here xD He must just be creeping around. Green you are a creature :)

Those vehicle commendations are a pain in the ass to get. Pretty much all you could do was hijack a ghost or get lucky with a rocket hog on Beachhead(?). Cant think of the name.

[Untertainment]

I worry not (at least not that much) but before this i never heard of 343, so i'm not sure where to stand with them around Halo. As for what i've seen so far i wasn't decieved though :)
You never heard of them till now 0.o Thats odd :P

yeah weapon drops are pretty useless, because unless you get a target locator the DMR i way better than any weapon you could get (except against hunters of course)

[Hegr]

343 has been around Halo for a while. I believe they made Halo Waypoint.

[Untertainment]

I mean i never heard of 343 before they got their hands on Halo... At least i cant recall anything else they have done in the past :/

Thats because they were made for Halo :P If I am correct I believe it is Microsoft's little subdivision after they and Bungie broke up :P

[BluDRAGUN]

Indeed, but i enjoy getting my power weapons although they only last for a minute.

[Untertainment]

Get it? 343? 343 Guilty Spark xD

[RUL Jakeyy]

every time I see Unearthed it gets me pumped.

I've never really played much firefight in Reach. I'm not a massive fan of firefight but I played it quite a bit back on ODST. Its just the firefight maps on Reach feel small and somewhat boring after a while, but if unearthed is like lost platoon as Green described it, I'd love to play a few firefight games regularly. Hopefully 343 will bring more firefight maps out like it.

[Untertainment]

I think you already said this but...I prefer having the ammo spawn in the back :P

343 actually got some former bungie employees and certain affinity has got max hoberman, who worked on halo 1, 2 and 3 with bungie, so there are some famous faces among them

[Untertainment]

That's the kind of thing i didn't know about 343 :/

haha well now you do :)

[i ic3 c01d i]

Frank O'Connor works there. And you're right, they are credited for Halo Waypoint.

[BluDRAGUN]

Haha Well then. I like having the started weapons spawn in back :P It made spawn seem more useful and it kept more of a sense of "Keep this position" :)

[xfuzzlex]

i got that information from the defiant map pack trailer from halo waypoint ;) when hes talking it says "max hoberman - certain affinity // creative director ^^

Not 100% certain if this has been officially replied to I just took a quick glance from where the question was forward, but staff may join in on the discussion. They of course may not win a code. I do definitely encourage all staff to add to the discussion, it makes for a more interesting read.

This. Then we have more things to talk about.

[Rebel Rouser]

Are you saying we're not interesting?? :O (:P)

Well only you Ganner, only you :P

[i ic3 c01d i]

Halo 4 better have some great and I mean...no...UBER storytelling this go around! I love Bungie, but it almost feels to me like they've kinda been slacking. The forge maps were lackluster and that Reflection fail posted by Greenskull really tasted the cake lol. I wanted Reach and expected it to be something epic. Remember when those elites kidnapped those people in the beginning of Reach? Remember how cool the music and cutscene was? How well it was blended together? I expected more of those moments, but never got them :(.

343 are huge fans of Halo and I think they're gonna make it better than ever. Even if they don't do crap for the story or the campaign itself, I know I'm safe to say the multiplayer maps are gonna rock for Halo 4 and the upcoming DLC for Reach. I'm stoked!

[RUL Jakeyy]

im looking forward to the release of halo 4, just because everyone will say: "**** halo 4, im going back to play halo reach. halo 4 doesnt even got the DMR in it, lame!" :D

[RUL Jakeyy]

:O:O:O I'm so gonna PWN you next time we play :P

Its physically impossible for you to PWN anyone :P. REACH GANNER! What is everyones favorite weapon/Vehicle in Reach?

[Hegr]

im looking forward to the release of halo 4, just because everyone will say: "**** halo 4, im going back to play halo reach. halo 4 doesnt even got the DMR in it, lame!" :D

I just hope it doesnt turn in to a Call of Duty type sequel where every new game is the same as the last except there is a couple new features and different maps. I stopped playing CoD for that reason.

[Untertainment]

Its physically impossible for you to PWN anyone :P. REACH GANNER! What is everyones favorite weapon/Vehicle in Reach?
I love how this is "Back to Topic" :P Green totally made a contest to see who could smack talk the best xD.....THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

[xfuzzlex]

what maps of these 3 do you prefer?
highlands?(BTB, objective, large scale)
condemned?(slayer based, simple, zerogravity zone with rl spawn)
unearthed?(vehicle based firefight map)
i think i go with highlands, cause it remembers me of halo 1

[Untertainment]

I dont know, Reach was popular but it didn't get to be as much as Halo 3 did. So, ppl will more likely say "**** Halo 4 i'm going back to Halo 3", then the first map will come out and everyone will be like "Damn this game is fun" lol
More or less Ganner has the idea. Think of it like you would in CoD...Everyone goes back to 4 even though they are on 7 now :P

Definitely highlands because I would rather play with vehicles than low gravity.

Agreed, it looks to be quite a large map

[BluDRAGUN]

Think of it like you would in CoD...Everyone goes back to 4 even though they are on 7 now :P

Why is it such a known fact!

[Untertainment]

Why is it such a known fact!

Having CoD addicted friends makes you know a lot :P

[Hegr]

Why is it such a known fact!

Because number 4 was by far the best of the modern CoDs (4+)

[BluDRAGUN]

Highlands...

[RUL Jakeyy]

Why is it such a known fact!

4 was awesome, I still play it now :D

[xfuzzlex]

Definitely highlands because I would rather play with vehicles than low gravity.

yeah as long as theres no scorpion on highlands i agree, they ruin vehicle combat
=> first version of BTB on Hemorrhage

[Untertainment]

Haha I have a random thing to say...I hope a winner is announced soon :P I have been here since the beigining of this thread :) Part of the Proud Few :)

[RUL Jakeyy]

Highland looks really nice Condemned too but Unhearthed being firefight based makes it the least prefered for me. Between Highland and Condemn i'm not sure which i'd prefer since both types of maps are interesting.

I think I'll quite enjoy Condemned. Its seems to be every you go there will always be a battle, but Highlands looks more entertaining with the vehicles in all. Highlands kind of reminds me of a bigger version of Valhalla.

[Hegr]

yeah as long as theres no scorpion on highlands i agree, they ruin vehicle combat
=> first version of BTB on Hemorrhage

I agree completely. But from greenskulls video he put out hte other day, I dont think there is a scorpion. Plus the map looks a little too small for a scorpion.

[xfuzzlex]

seems like Highlands is the preferred map in this thread, but just looking at the environment: i will get assassinated on condemned sooo often because im just staring out of the windows watching the epic battlescene and the glassed planet <3

i think your right, maybe its just too narrow for tanks and wraiths, which actually would be awesome! ghosts, revenants and warthogs only are just perfect for objective games

[Untertainment]

Noble 6, he's quite a mysterious character thats why I like him

How about, does anybody feel that there isn't enough air to air combat in Reach? I know there wasn't much in halo 3 but just them maps like Valhalla and Sandtrap where you could grab a banshee and just go on a little rampage or spend 10 minutes trying to shoot down the other banshee.

The fact that there is 200+ comments already in this thread clearly states the great importance this so called Defiant Map Pack has on humanity. I mean if you really think about all the important and valuable things you could spend you time with, commenting on RUL in desperate hopes that you may be chosen as one of the lucky few to receive the golden code for the Defiant Map Pack is at the top of that grand list.

A. You could be spending your time doing homework. Because if it were not for educated young men and women, we would have no Defiant Map Pack nor golden code to receive said map pack.

B. You could be helping your mother/wife make dinner for the fam. This not only would be genuine quality time for the women whom you love to dearly, but it would also be a great time to sharpen you carrot cutting skills.

C. You could be washing that car. Never mind the 10 year drought you city is facing. That muddy lake would be better off as dry cracked land anyway.

D. You could be spending your time solving the problem of the World economic meltdown. I mean, who can afford the Defiant Map Pack at full price anyways.

After playing highland, i must say its like any other big map. there are more anti-vehicle power weapons than there are vehicles. As soon as you step into a vehicle, theres lasers, rockets, grenade launchers and plasma launchers staring at you. there is pretty much no point in getting in vehicles. also there are people camping with snipers all over the map which make traveling in the open a thing you want to avoid. so most people stay indoors.
