This is garbage. Why do we have to even pay for the maps...Gears of War came out and shortly after that they get FREE maps and we have to pay for 2 maps after the game is 2+years old. Why is that?
Gears Maps were SPONSORED by Discovery channel, and the bandwidth/development costs were paid by them, so they could advertise their logo and show when people were DLing them.
The "Free" Halo 2 maps were free to us because of Mountain Dew. It still cost Bungie time to make them.

$4 for 2 maps is NOT alot to be whining about. And I am a guy that whines about paying .75 cents to do laundry.
You will get way more than $4 of entertainment value from these maps.
Quit whining, or you might be featured in the next waaaaahhhhhmbulance.

For those that dont have credit cards, I have 2 solutions- one that has been repeated numerous times.
1. Give your parent/guardian/overlord $4 that you either find in change lying on the ground (you would be SURPRISED how much money you would have at the end of the day if you picked up every coin. Enough to buy a cheap meal, believe me, I've done it many times), get by doing some odd job for somebody (CHORES! oh teh noes!!!!!!!!!!!11111111oneoners!), or forgo something for a day to get the maps. Once you give them the $4, ask them if you can use their credit card to make a $4 online purchase. Show them the maps online if you wish, and prove that you are responsible, and this is why you need the money, and what you are getting.
2. For those of you that dont have credit cards, or good parental relations; Go to your local supermarket/convience store/etc and pick up a visa/mastercard/card accepted by live gift card. Load it up with $4. Go hom, and use the card to make your purchase. These cards are just like a regular credit card, and act like a debit card. For all intents and purposes, they are little pieces of plastic that give people money that was yours.

Are the maps going to become free after a certain amount of time like the other maps did?

Thanks for the low price. I was seriouosly worried about paying $12 for them. $4 ($2 each!) is very reasonable, and I am a cheapskate.

Awww.... I was hoping for Chiron and Boarding action! C-mon! */joke*

Count me in as a vote for Damnation. I luv playing Crazy king on that map!
Now to speculate on the other maps-Are they going to be remakes as well? Are they going to be revisited maps that were originally developed for H2, didnt make the ship, OR make the map pack? Or are we going to have some Brand spankin New Maps?
My PERSONAL vote is bringing Timberland and Danger Canyon from the H1 computer versions to Halo 2...or could we see them in Halo 3?!
