Ok I already downloaded the theme and gamer pic but this is what I'm referring to.

Quoted by IGN "As an added gift, Bungie will also make the Blastacular Map Pack for Halo 2 free to download for everyone. This falls in line with previous map packs which at first cost money and were then given away to the entire community."

Is Blastacular Pack only free today, or will it be free forever starting today?

BTW, It's 7:22am here in Florida (GMT -5 hours EST) and it's still not free.

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

Just have patience! They will become free at some point today. It all depends on the time difference.

Granted its 12:30 in the afternoon here (GMT) and yes I do want to play Team Snipers again....but I don't mind waiting...too long

Plus it gives you the time in PDT after you post. You really think Bungie staff will be working away at 4.30 am??

Yep I never noticed it either. I only saw it when I was trying to figure out what the time it was in PDT...then just noticed it actually gave me the answer.

Saved me having to work it out. My brain can relax again!

looking for thoughts here really i know the maps are going to become free today at somepoint but does any one reckon that there could be more maps added to the pack or something like that? just wondered because when i was reading the update it said that there was something extra for those who had already bought the pack before and that the playlists wont include the maps for a few weeks but why would they wait to do that as the two maps are already in the playlists? any ideas?

From my understanding there is a time window of only 22hrs. Once that window is closed all FreeBees including the map pack are gone. So mind you my time window is now at 18hrs till closing.

Think for a second, when in the past have they put a map pack for free and taken it down the next day, read carefully... They say that it will be free so that everyone can have and so that it can be put into every gametype in the coming weeks, doesn't make sense to make it only one day for the maps... and also it said it would help clear problems with billing by making them free.

yea it would be silly making them free for one day, remember they said they were making them permanently free in the first week of july? Well we're into the second week by tomorrow, enough of this time-window jibber-jabber!
