i read a lot of people wondering when everything will be done....and first you should read and if you don't understand ask for clerification, but the stat reset will begin at around 12am pacific time and end around 4am pacific time, and at the beginning the maps should be in multiplayer, but it could be after, depending on whether they want to wait till the stats reset is complete. and as far as getting charged $4 for the new maps, it's not that much money so i'd say buy 'em so you can take full advantage of matchmaking, and they didn't announce it to be free in july because if they did many people probably would have waited and well people put work hours into the maps and i'm sure would like to get money for them. this part is for the ones laughing at the guy for getting an overdraft....STFU....i know what it's like i have 8.50 in my account right now and thats enough to pay for my xbl and if i was to be charged for the maps again i'd be pissed too meaning i would have an overdraft as well, 1 more thing Bungie will never again set a date until they are 100% sure on the day because of what happened with halo 2. when it got delayed people were pissed at bungie for setting a date when it didn't happen so they don't want to say a specific time and get more comments like they have on the maps being free announcement....BUNGIE YOU KICK ASS and it's not their fault for the map update getting screwed up, it's the same update for 2 different consoles and 2 different types of main billing methods used and they did the best they could

I don't care about the stat reset, but I just wanted to say this whole affair over the past month with the new maps coming soon/ download the maps now/ stats will be reset soon/ new playlists are coming/ you must re-download the maps after you finally got them to work because we suck at this/ okay now you can play on the new -blam!-er playlists has really ticked me off.
Thank you Bungie because all you've done right is make a great game and thankfully thats all you need for customers like me keep putting up with all the rest of your BS.

Bungie must have a personal vendetta against you and everyone else who plays those playlists regularly.

Unless of course they are doing it for all the reasons they have (repeatedly) outlined in the What's Update. If you are going to whine about the news, shouldn't you read it first?

Wow, 4AM? I'll start playing at midnight and see if they get reset on me. After all, it's just playing with people that's fun, not the number (however the number gives you a strong feeling of accomplishment).

The new hopper list with the new maps is now up - if you're signed in, you can sign out and back in to force an update now. It will have made its way to all users by the time the LB resets start in a little over two hours.

Enjoy!

Wow, so many complainers on Bungie.net today.... First of all, if you are surprised that Bungie is going to release the maps for free, you're a moron. EVERY time Bungie has released an initial map pack it has later become available for free. Secondly, if you're "pissed" because "payed" for the maps and they will now be free in a month, you're a moron. it was FOUR DOLLARS people, you can't even eat at a fast food joint for that much. Jesus, some of you have a lot of growing up to do...

Alright - just think for a second about your own job. All the time and work that goes into whatever business you have to do whatever it is it does. Now think about the number of people that need to be paid. On Bungie's side, anyone who had anything to do with the making of these maps had to be paid for however many days they've worked. Even if it's just a team of 10 people working for 2 months on these maps, that's 60 x 10 = 600 days. At a minimum of $8 an hour for 8 hours a day ($64 per day) that's $38,400 simply for labor. More than likely they had a larger team working on the maps working longer hours and getting paid more. Plus they still have to turn a profit.

BUNGIE ME AND ALOT OF MY FRIENDS THINK U REALLY MESSED UP. HERE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS BUT NOT ALL, GUEST IN RANKED MATCHES, NEW MAPS REQUIRED, TEAM FIESTA IN SNIPERS, AND EVERTHING U CHANGED IS REAALLY REALLY HORRIBLE. U SHOULD HAVE JUST MADE SWAT RANKED AND RESET THE LEVELS, YOU MADE A REALLY BAD MISTAKE AND U WILL PROBABLY LOOSE A LOT OF PALAYERS...

Why is BTB only 6v6 now? My clan always plays BTB skirmish and we have to cull numbers to get down to 8! thanks alot!

  • 05.09.2007 10:21 PM PDT

Don't hate me for playing a game...Hate me 'cause I read your email... Yes - right now - I am reading your email.

I am unable to download the maps even after I wiped my drive to reset everything (thanks to "support" for that one), this is nice they finally did something but how do i get my maps... I could care less about the 4 dollars.

I cant even buy the maps again as it says that transaction failed... I get stuck in a loop of failures and this is the only place I seem to see ay actual tech support for this product.

So not whining just saying - it doesn't work for my unmodified stock xbox premium from costco.... I mean its not like we hobble together a bunch of hardware from the lowest bidder to do these games so how hard can it be to setup a online store with registered downloads? thanks!

I just finished playing a match of swat (no sheilds) with gernades on a new map and that was fun, but all the other update are horrible. My friend and I we enjoy the old swat alot, but this new update changed it for the worse. They put the shields back on for the normal swat that you choose from the menu and they add king of the hill in. then we played a match of BTB and it was assualt, all my team except two others, quit because they were expecting slayer and not assualt.

So how long are the playlist going to be like this?

Eventhough it says six, it actually allows eight on each team.

I haven't played and seen all of the updates yet, but i do think that some players will be discourage due to the updates.

Well, when you purchase the maps it should atoumatically be purchase from the credit card thats paying for the xboxlive.

I already had the maps and i had to redownload them so they would allow me play.
