Heroic Map Pack FAQs: Satellites and Forging
Firstly, Archnos confirmed that Forge editing will not act any differently with new map Foundry. No weird object manipulation, no new options, it'll all be the same. What is different and unique is a few new objects and the fact that nearly every object within' Foundry can be removed or relocated. So, that's how that works. The other hopeful question we wanted clarification on was whether or not we could "play" on the satellite dishes in Standoff. Sadly, Archnos confirmed that the massive dishes were only objects out in the distance and cannot be "played" on, but missile silos will be fair game. And we can't complain about that, seeing that missile silos are badass in their very nature, but we'd love to hop around on a giant satellite ... it has become our twisted obsession. A very twisted obsession.

Stop pimping your shitty blog on X3F, and ask for a true link on their side bar. I'm betting that, with enough coercion, they might give in.

there's a reason your posts about your blog keep getting the white-out treatment.

3 maps for $10? wow. We're all going to be nickel and dimed until all we have left is pennies.

I think these maps look cool. Is it just me, or are the prices for these maps going in the wrong direction? I'm still trying to decide if I should purchase them or not. Any DLC is good times though.
NukeAssault @ Nov 28th 2007 2:55PM
You can always just wait till they're free. =)
Larry *not allowed to say cheevo* @ Nov 28th 2007 4:00PM
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to decide. Not that it's out of my price range, more of a "should I encourage and support this?". All I'm saying is, what happens when we are at 10 bucks per map? Meh, oh well! The maps look freaking awesome though, I will probably cave in anyway!

Foundry, not Forgery.
And they're satellite *dishes*, not satellites.
Larry *not allowed to say cheevo* @ Nov 28th 2007 2:46PM
hahahaa, I thought it was a weird name for a map. Lots of Forge on Forgery! hahaha!

If they are real objects in the map someone will find a way to get a teleport on those... unless they block them with invisible walls. which even that isn't a guarentee.
Killswitch On @ Nov 29th 2007 5:53AM
More invisible walls! YAY! :\
xenocidic @ Nov 28th 2007 3:39PM
well gee, shadowrun had a satellite you could play around on... but we all know what happened with that!
DemonGSides @ Nov 28th 2007 6:13PM
It sucked?
adam h @ Nov 28th 2007 7:08PM
i think they me ACHRONOS.
ian @ Nov 28th 2007 9:12PM
Yeah, it's achronos, I don't know how you screwed that up.
These announcements are more disappointing than exciting. Halo 3 is dead (to me)
Boff @ Nov 29th 2007 6:32AM
I'll be waiting till they're free anyway.
Hopefully someone will still be playing it by then!
ProjectModChamp @ Nov 29th 2007 7:27AM
