ok over on xbox the users got 2 new maps for $4. they just announced that in July theyd be free.

"Lastly, we are finally happy to confirm that Tombstone and Desolation will be available for free download in early July. We don't have the exact date locked but it will be around the first week. Stay tuned to Bungie.net for the final details."

So my question is... Will Pc users get these maps too? I'd like to have all the maps plus the 2 pc exclusives. Anyone Know?

I don't think we will. I beleive those map were made to throw a bone to the Xbox crowd because we were getting two extra maps. the maps between the two are very different due to the fact that H2V uses dedicated servers, so they probably didn't make a second version for us. The modding community will probably come out with a couple versions in the future.

Well, from the other topics about the same thing, all i can say is a straight NO. Even tho Tombstone (Hang 'Em High , Cowboy!) was my most fav map :p
EDIT: *Darth Vader's Voice* Damn you, Iggwilv! You beat me to it like 10 seconds! Can you believe it?1 10s! A new MAW Record 0.0

yeah im banking on the fact that home made versions will exist, but i was hopeful that bungie would just throw that bone to the vista players asap.

Bungie doesn't throw bones to its PC fan base; they're much more into throwing feces at us.

No no, we already got our bone. District and Uplift.

However a second bone would be nice.

lol i dont care about those maps yet. I just want what i have on xbox. plus some extras. If i have 23 maps on xbox id like those on pc plus a few new ones. what i got was 2 new ones and a map editor. that works. ill take it. but id prefer to have the 2 that were just put on xbox also and not have to wait till someone makes them, or make them myself.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Ok, last time I'm saying this, You have a freaking map editor, you can make your own tombstone and desolation. That is a pretty big bone, btw. lol

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I jumped on the Halo2 forum by mistake and after seeing a lot of posts that were for xbox came back here....

The main post i did see was "the two new maps are the worst maps ever!!!!" so i dont think anyone is missing much from not having them ;)

(Although yes there is a map editor and i would not be suprised to see halo2 servers running old halo 1 looking maps and the ones they didnt bring to vista)
