This is -blam!- bull-blam!-.

First of all; you announce the new Halo 2 map's are for '360 owner's only. Doe's this mean original Xbox owner's won't be able to do matchmaking?

Second; are these 'new 360-only maps' going to be riddled with super bouncing cracks and overall glitches? The last pack(s) came with a dozen super bouncing spots a piece and a few glitches each.

This is frigging bull-blam!- Bungie. You can't exclude original Xbox owner's from the new maps. After all Halo 2 was RELEASED FOR THE ORIGINAL XBOX.

You can't release a game for one platform and put updates on another. Its a load of crap.

Also, you should explain why super bouncing only works in North American region as well. Is this some kind of favoring?

Because when I am 1v4 in a game of Team Snipers the last thing I need is some -blam!- super bouncing on top of the level only to head shot me when I spawn.

Your lucky I am even buying Halo 3, Bungie. Because it is the last Halo edition I will ever buy, seeing as you said you would sell out to every goddamn studio that wants to make "Halo Fights or Halo Gold or Halo 1.5" or some crap like that for some crappy console like the Wii or something. "Z0MG I B3AT3D U D0WN WITH MY NUMCHUK L0LX".

It sickens me.

You have lost my support Bungie.


WOW! Do you have a masters in complaining or just a bachlors? I mean seriously dude, just because you have an original xbox and not a 360 doesn't mean you have to pointlessly curse at bungie for you not realizing: "Hey, that X-box 360 is soo cool! Maybe I should get it so I can play Halo 3 and other great games instead of the non-HD x-box counterpart." I mean Quote,"Your lucky I am even buying Halo 3, Bungie. Because it is the last Halo edition I will ever buy!" Dude! Halo 3 is the last of the Bungie Halo series retard! Besides if your buying Halo 3 ( X-Box360 only) then you'll get to play the halo 2 maps when u get ur 360 for Halo 3 dumbass.


Oh my god you are ignorant. Halo 3 is the last of the Bungie Halo series retard! It is not the last Halo game seeing as Bungie sold out. You cannot make a game on 1 console then release updates for another, its stupid. I am buying a '360 ONLY for Halo 3. Because Bungie make kick-ass games. But I do not agree with them bring out a game for one console and adding updates for that game on another. I also do not agree with them selling out the Halo series to whatever studio wants a slice. You are obviously not intellectual enough to have a straight debate with so I am going to stop talking to you now.


WOW! You wanna talk intelectual? You're the one buying a $400 console FOR ONE GAME. How sad, besides you need a 360 for it's procesing power and added memory capabilities (most likely) afterall, why would bungie make you have to use a kick-ass console unless these are kick-ass maps?


KillTheOtherTeam has illustrated well why I hate talking to people online: that any idiot can simply boast that the other guy "doesn't debate intellectually" and he thinks that it will end the argument. KillTheOtherTeam is an ideal example because he doesn't even say why Revan is "not intellectual enough to have a straight debate."

I'd also like to note that Revan told KTOT that Halo 3 was "is the last of the Bungie Halo series", and KTOT responded by saying how other developers are making Halo games (and also by calling Revan ignorant - how ironic).

And yes, if you buy a console for a game, that would be paying $460 plus tax for Halo 3 - a good game, but one that won't consume more than a few years of your life.
Also remember that Certain Affinity is making the new maps, not Bungie. And the 360 is the future. And no one is required to have the new maps. I'm sure they thought of that. So stop whining already!

Oh, and that Halo 3 picture looks sweet. Also, the Crackdown demo is awesome. I want to buy it now, and not just for the Beta.

Also, I just noticed I say also a lot.

Geez! See what you have done Bungie. Everybody is going to kill each other. It would be a lot easier if you kept things straight as far as the updates, games, and console

Poweder's right. As a 360 owner I was disappointed when I heard about the 360 only maps. I mean come on, every single one of us started playing Halo 2 on their big black box and everyone who has upgraded stil has friends or clan members who still do. This update is going to put a rift between old and new boxers. Best case scenario is that your cross-platform paties get bumped from matchmaking every time a new map is loading up.

Of course it all comes down to the all important bottom line. Cash money. Maybe it's because it too costly to support xbox live on both consoles. Maybe it's because Microsoft don't want xbox owners spending what dime they have on anything else. Either way microsoft has dropped the xbox like a flaming potato with herpes, and the only ointment they're offering is creme colored wiht a hard drive on top. To be honest, if you play halo, you're probably planning on getting a 360 eventually, I just hate to feel like I'm being coerced into it.

See you at the beta!

agreed. I find it intensely humourous that so many people ripping on revan miss his biggest point: regardless of your views on the new map release, halo 3 is only coming out on the 360. in other words, if you cannot afford a 360, even after trade-ins, then you will never see the end of the chief's and arbiter's (possibly) exploits; thus leaving the maps moot to you anyways. and matchmaking problems? well, sympathy to the downtrodden and all.

or, in modern english: sux2bu.

Actually, that's opinion. I loved Halo 2 way more than the first. Don't think everyone agrees with you.

Also, there's a little button that says "edit" - that lets you edit your posts. So you don't post four times in a row and make people mad.

*Quotes the whole ~KTOD vs. Revan1221~ argument*

Holy cow. You guys are nuts. Fighting over something that doesn't even affect your life. How sad.

***On an on-topic note***
That picture rocks. It's simply amazing. And there's gonna be TWO MORE?! That's 1337!
Hey, It'd be cool if the *ahem* "360-Only" maps came out as another Multiplayer Map Pack! That would make life SO much easier for people. <--Stupid.

Btw, that comment on the cloud direction only being in the Northern Hemisphere is interesting... I wonder...

Alright dude, I was not fighting, I was having agressive negotiations. And how does Halo 2 maps (Soon will have), X-box 360 ( Already have), and Halo 3 (Hope to God I'll have this year) not affect our lives? If we are talking about them then they must have some impact to our lives. And how would the multiplayer maps being in a mappack form help people?

I find it amusing that people such as Killtheotherteam notice every detail in an update about maps being console-specific and things like that, then immediatly start whining and complaining to Bungie without taking the first notice of one of the biggest points Bungie made in the same update. For those who didn't bother to read the update, let me put a very simple end to this whole argument. Bungie didn't make the decision about the maps being 360-only. It was very clearly stated in the same update that they announced the maps in, that this was decided by Microsoft, not by Bungie directly. In fact, I seem to recall Bungie mentioning they'd like to see the maps available for the original box, and that that may be a future possibility. But of course, some of us don't have time to get all the facts before we start throwing blame. B/c God knows it's too -Blam!- difficult to just read the -Blam!- update before we start throwing a tantrum. Do yourself a favor KTOT. Know what you're talking about before you come here wasting all our time whining about something that Bungie doesn't even have the power to change right now if they want to. Anyway, back to speculating.....
