~~Pardon Our Dust.~~
Analog, you must understand, Bungie is currently working on Halo 3. I'm not sure if you knew this or not.
To create a map, from start to finish, from the concept, to the mesh, to the textures, to the actual population of weapons, objects, spawns, sounds, and other various environmental effects, can take well over 2 months. That may even be an understatement. That's well over 2 months that Bungie's mappers have to spend not building Halo 3 maps.
This causes at least 2 or 3 problems:
A) Bungie will have insufficient time to playtest all their maps for Halo 3, along with new Halo 2 maps.
B) Bungie's mappers will not get as many maps done for Halo 3.
C) Halo 3 will be post-poned if they need to add more maps to Multiplayer that they weren't able to finish implementing because of Halo 2 maps.
I'd rather have Halo 3 be the best it can be, instead of having Halo 2 be improved while it spins to it's end. It was, and still is, an amazing game, but Halo 3 is coming up, and Halo 2 is getting replaced. Bungie has already mentioned with the 360 they may implement loads more downloadable content, so you can expect to see many more maps for Halo 3. :D
