When will these 2 new maps be availible

  • 03.30.2007 3:54 PM PDT

"Hang on a sec, let me reload my mind bullets."

Does this mean they are released, or is this just a "sneak peek," so to speak? If they're not out yet, any one have any idea when?

Wow, nice, I never really liked hang em high, too big for me, and I can't for the life of me remember derelict, I know, its been a while since I played Halo 1. Also, I couldn't tell, I might have missed it, did this say when these mps were to be released, becuase I went to the download center for Halo 2 and they weren't there.

Wait these maps are only $4. I guess that works.... because i don't have a credit card. But... why couldn't they have done both? Put in on XBL marketplace... and the credit card thing? That would've made sense to me.

GT: Greg Is So Hot

Whoooaaa... Desolation looks like it came straight out of Unreal Tournament... And Tombstone looks kinda like Command and Conquer. I can't decide whether I think they look good or not... :\ Either way, they're most definitely not Bungie's own work.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

Pretty excited. More excited for the beta but its a nice touch before Halo 3. 4 bucks times the amount of players on right now is $210120. Not a bad chunk of change.

Why don't they make the maps available with the beta download so it is easier for 360 users, instead of adding a credit card and such. I guess that is too smart of an idea. Maps look good, Hang em High is a pretty sweet deal. They should have made this map for the beginning of the game.

Here, go to this website and get your Halo clips recorded in HD for free.

You WILL have to pick which box to install it on. It’s tied to the box you download it to, as well as your Live account, so you effectively can’t have it on more than one system. Sorry.

You don't have to say you're sorry! That's a good thing what you're doing there! In fact, you should say something like, "So There", or "Haw Haw", or even "Sho'Nuff!!" But no, no need to apologize. I just wish there was an actual day instead of a 6 month season....



Awesome article.

I see a lot of people here must've done VERY well on reading comprehension back in elementary school.

...

But anyway, I wasn't that big of a fan of Derelict in Halo 1, but Hang 'em High was really fun.

Overall, I'd say that Bungie and Certain Affinity good choices with re-imagining these maps.

Although I would've rather seen Sidewinder or Boarding Action redone.

Orbis terrarum exuro tonight

Hurray! Woot! Its not just for the 360!


I love hang 'em High!

Derelicts ok, but like the guy above me, I would rather of seen boarding action or sidewinder redone instead of derelict.

so i take there wont be any achievements now. i can finally put halo 2 away and delete my saves cause im not going to pay 4 dollars for maps they refurbished. i have better stuff to do with 4 dollars.

  • 03.30.2007 4:23 PM PDT

The new maps look hot. Where is Chill Out though?

Derelict can derelict my bawls, but Hang 'em High owns hard enough to make up for it. I thought I heard they were making 4 new maps, not 2. Maybe they will come out with 2 more a little bit later on that includes chill out. Still excited for something fresh to come out.

New maps = awesome

Thanks for making Hang 'em High for Halo 2. Nights spent wondering what it would be like to play it on Halo 2 will now be put to rest

honestly... would it kill them to give an estimate for the beta. (and not- "sometime this spring maybe"). It's crap like that (avoiding giving people the info they really want) that makes me root for the boys over at Epic to make another master piece to trump bungie. And they don't charge for new maps ;)

I'm upset at this teaser news post that I so habitually mindlessly read... Maybe I should just stick with IGN huh?

Yeah you should. Since Epic seems to be so much better then Bungie, why don't you go hang around their forums for... ever?

"Next week, we’re going to have some very cool content for you, including a new look for the Vehicles and weapons specials we’ve shown you, and an accelerating sense of momentum about the game."

The Road Train

do a little searching throught the update u may come up with this,

The upside is that more people will be able to play. There will be an interruption in this halcyon joy – the Public Beta. We expect some folks to migrate to the Beta for the full period it runs, and then return to H2 stuff for a few months after the Beta is over.

yeah there is no date but maybe, it suggests that there wont be much of the new maps being either downloaded or played because those who are in the beta will be playing that for a short while.

:)

Um....so, do you people actually read the updates? I know at least a couple of you do, because you answered the questions these others ask that were already answered in the update. Seriously, I was under the impression that this forum was to discuss the information actually contained IN the update, but it appears the vast amount of people only read the summary outside the story link and maybe skimmed a couple of previous posts and then ask these questions that have been answered in the post itself and again by other posters that felt inclined to answer. If this isn't the case, someone let me know. The maps do look great, and I'm hoping that make it into Halo 3...but I'm thinking they might not since Halo 3 will have new weapons and everything that will throw in all kind of balance issues...
