Subject: Blastacular Map Update

The Blastacular Map Pack has been updated to fix bugs and superjumps before eing deployed to Matchmaking. The two new maps for Halo 2, Desolation and Tombstone, have both been replaced with updated versions, with the geometry fixes added. You will need these to use them in Matchmaking. More new on that later this week.

Good to hear. I was tired of my friends abusing the invisible wall/sniper rifle combo. Hopefully this means the matchmaking update will be later this week?

Being that they haven't mentioned the stat reset in the last like 3 weekly updates I doubt they were serious about it. So stop waiting the stat reset it probably won't happen for a while. Due to the fact before what happens when people had trouble downloading the maps the second time? Will this be another update that they are fixing bugs in this system or just another excuse for no stat reset. I dunno but I'm taking a break from halo2 all the hype I've built up has nosedived.

And thats why you don't let hype overrun you dude. Me...I'm a cynic, I'm always thinking the worse. So as far as I'm concered, they're not resetting the stats, and the H3 beta will be delayed...lol

So I just d-loaded the new maps again, and eureka! The invisi wall glitches are gone, but the super jumps are still there... well atleast the one I know. I mean its not a big deal, because it doesn't actually take you anywhere that would possibly give you an advantage from the other team.

I leave college next week to go back home, where I dont have XBL. So am I ever going to be able to play this in matchmaking before the start of next week. Because if not I would really like a refund for getting screwed up the arse. I bought these maps with every expactation of playing them on matchmaking in the three weeks that I had left at college. So I guess I got screwed. Id love to know if I could contact somebody about this.

"The new maps are almost ready and we’ll give you full details about the timing as soon as Monday. Both the map replacements and the Matchmaking update are likely to happen next week, but will be separated by a couple of days to give players time to get the replacements." ~ direct quote from previous update. Yeah right, the only reason this was done was to make the people pay that didnt pay initially. Its just too convinient. And I really doubt this will be roled out this week. They've been saying this for what, 2-3 weeks now.

Too bad I won't be playing the new maps much. The Halo 3 Beta is going to take over my life next week. Thank God I don't have a job (currently).
