Find 16 quarters. Go to Target. Buy Visa Gift Card. Play new maps.

Jeez... sacrifice a Happy Meal or two, people.

This is the truest statment ever made on these forums.

Oh yes, and, great update Frankie.

Halo: Reach the broken game!!!

Very cool. I'm glad you guys didn't leave the xbox players out of the loop. Although I'm a 360 player, but still Halo 2 was orignally for the xbox system, so it seems only right to make the new maps on both systems old and new.

Drew the awesome.

I love the maps and the chief at the bottom. I can't wait for H3 to come out. It's going to be the bomb.....literaly.

Im pretty sad because I had no idea what Halo was when Halo CE came out so I don't know what these maps were like. =(
Im excited to get introduced to them though!!!!

  • 03.30.2007 7:16 PM PDT

I have figured it out. I have figured out what will happen in Halo 3. Master Chief will need to find the Arc, so he's going to find the only person that knows where it is; Mosses.

Then go buy Halo 1 dude. Get on XBC and play the greatest FPS multiplayer game of all time! H2 has nothing on H1 game play. It's only going to cost you 20 bucks max - but with all the complaining people are doing over having to spend 4 bucks on new maps - you probably won't have 20 bucks to buy H1 either.

Glad to see Hang em High, but Derilect? It was alright. I'd rather see a new map, or even one pulled from Halo PC. Maps like Gephyrophobia, Timberland, Danger Canyon, Sidewinder, etc. I'd LOVE to have sniper matches on Death Island.

I agree, I've got 3 Halo machines - an X360, and 2 original Xbox machines. I have Halo LAN parties over here pretty regularly, and..well.. how can I get them on all 3 of my Xboxes? Only 1 or 2 of my friends play Halo 2 online, so they have their own Xboxes to update, the rest of us are LAN-primary players and use my machines.

Man, this is a real shocker that it's gonna be tied to the machine.

  • 03.30.2007 8:18 PM PDT

I'm probably twice your age, punk!

Oh, and say hi to your Mom.

I wonder if the resolution of the new maps will look better on the original Xbox or on the 360? Personnally, I like H2 on the original Xbox. It looks kind of washed out on the 360, and the shading isn't as good. I think I'm going with the original Xbox (I figure I might as well wear out the old controllers too, instead of the $50 wireless ones).

Here's a good a poll: Xbox or 360 for the new maps?

Wow some of you guys are very negative. You haven't even played or seen the live map versions yet and you are already crying. Please give it a chance before you put it down. I mean you play Halo because you like it right? So why should you expect to be disappointed? It almost seems like if they had put the information about the Beta release dates you would say, “Why no updates on the new Halo 2 maps,” take a chill pill people.
Just a little advice from another gamer…

I have half a mind to kill you....and the other half agrees.

Yeah, i hear you. I may have to swith my credit card info from my parents to mine. ANyhow, I'm glad to see hang-em-high back. I just hope that all the weapons are in it, like last time. My favorite maps are those that keep all wepaons, with only 1 of either a sniper or rocket missing. Hang-em-high was just big enough to have both effectively, but still be decent sized for both big and small matches.

Yes it's all very well and good that there's a couple new maps coming out but i was really looking forward to the so-called halo3 vehicle and weapon update.
yet again i shouldn't expect anything less of bungie because we all know that they are unreliable and most of the time don't do what they say they are going to do. Anyway, the maps do sound good but i don't have the time to get them when they come out because unfortunately some of us on this forum do have a life.... if anyone flames me I'm going to loose my temper.

  • 03.30.2007 10:44 PM PDT

Cool, It's for the Xbox too!

Just about 1 in every 5 threads in New Mombasa was something along the lines of "any news on the new maps?" This was actually a pretty sweet update. Better than the Halo 3 vehicle/weapon updates, which aren't related to the Weekly Updates anyway.

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day

I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

An update is always an update, nice read! I'm going to stick with the beta though, so no new maps for me.

I hope theres gonna be super bounces and stuff on the new maps, the only thing that keeps me playing H2 is being able to get out of all the maps, and being able to jump ridiculously high.

P.S. H3 would also be cool if it had all that stuff *wink*

Why Can't we just admit that Xbox1 is Dead. why should we be hindered from their cheapness? Put it on Market place, it will make people buy more 360's and then we can win the console war.
I gave my Xbox 1 a proper burial in September.
Get with the program people the version 2's!!! of the 360!!!! is coming out in April!!!!!

  • 03.30.2007 11:13 PM PDT

Nice summaries. I look forward to tryin' out these new maps.
