Halo Reach: Defiant Map Pack Review

Please follow the blog and/or follow me on Twitter for Halo news and guides.

Tomorrow, the Defiant Map Pack for Halo Reach will hit Xbox Live for 800 Microsoft Points.  One of the biggest qualms for gamers when buying brand new content is not knowing whether the content is worth the price.  Well, we have managed to acquire the map pack a few days before the release (legally, of course!) and have some good news for you, the Defiant Map Pack is worth the cost.



Featuring three brand new maps, Condemned, Highlands, and Unearthed, the Defiant Map Pack is the first real attempt by 343 Industries to create playable Halo content.  In conjunction with Certain Affinity, 343 has brought forth content that is not only beautifully created and steeped in Halo lore but also a complete blast to play.

Halo Reach "Defiant" Map Pack Announced!

If you haven't heard yet, 343 Industries and Microsoft have announced the Defiant Map Pack.

Yup, no Bungie.  And, a new Firefight map which was previously thought impossible.  Some Campaign DLC would definitely be welcome and some new armory items.

Eitherway, the map pack was done in conjunction with Certain Affinity.  This company did the First Strike Map Pack for Call of Duty and did a Halo 2 Map Pack back in the day.  Should be interesting if they get to do another one. 

The Map Pack will be out in March and cost 800 MSP.  It will also have more achievement totaling 150 gamer score.
