COOL!!! THANK YOU!! I cant wait until April 17th!!

Not to sound critical or un-grateful (I really appreciate everything Bungie does for their fans), but didnt it take an extremely long time to re-texture old maps? It seems like in the span of time we've known about new H2 maps coming out, several more could have been made. And why on earth was Derelict chosen? According to your "Favorite Halo map" poll, Derelict scored the absolute lowest - 105 hits. It seems like any other map would have made more people happy - even Chiron (which is dumb).

Sorry for saying some of that stuff. I really do feel Bungie does a lot for us, and has to put up with a lot of crap from the community. So again, THANK YOU for everything, and keep up the excellent work!!


i am gonna guess they are saving some for h3, dur i put my reply in the quote

I'm so happy, but disappointed too. I hate using credit cards.

Nerd Rage - It makes the internet go 'round.

I mean this in a good way but the screen of Tombstone looks like a map from Quake.

Is anyone else pissed that you have to pay? Sure, its only $4 but all the other maps are free. Will they become free on a later date (just like when they previous map packs first came out)? I think its stupid that they're making you pay for something that should have been included in the original game.

Thank you Bungie!! I thought I was going to be left out with the new maps since I just have a Xbox 1. I'll be able to get a 360 once I start working in the summer but for now this should be a ton of fun. I absolutely LOVE Hang Em High. I would have liked to see a Rat Race remake, but I'll see what you did to Derelict before complaining.

I don't have live any more and won't do for a while I don't think, but I do LAN games with my friends often so will these new maps be coming out on disk like the previous batches of maps, or is it for live users only?

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

I agree, but I think it will be too easy to spawn kill on that type of map.

Thank God those maps are for the original XBox too... I mean how can you make new maps for the 360 only for an XBox game?

I wonder how soon the new maps will be in matchmaking...

I'm not thrilled about having to pay for them, but I'm not upset in any way. They're new maps for Halo 2; I'm there.

This is exactly how the first two map packs were released. Microsoft Points didn't exist and they had to be downloaded using Halo 2, just like these. I would imagine that you can wait a few months and these too will be free, probably after the Halo 3 Beta comes out.

No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy these additional maps. In fact, I would imagine that you can still play Halo 2 online to your heart's content using the existing maps. This is an optional upgrade ... for $4.

Honestly, I'm surprised they're still bothering with a 2½ year-old title.

"These re-creations, developed by Bungie and Certain Affinity Inc., are a perfect way to thank fans for their support as they surpass 800 million hours of “Halo 2” gaming on Xbox LIVE®."

Thank you for supporting us for all this time...so here's a gift from us to you. That'll be 4 dollars, Please

You could have given us the old map themselves we wouldn't have cared, but to charge us for these maps for a game that is 2+ years old when people got the Gears of War maps free, that is garbage and you know it.
