i have a question and a little something i'd like to point out.

first off, when the DLC comes out, can we somehow put it on a memory card and transfer it to a friends xbox so that we could play the new levels at LAN parties, or does everybody have to have the supposed 5 bucks?

and i'd like to point out this too. if a new MP map was at night, how would we use night vision. halo 1 had night vision but to my knowledge halo 2 doesn't have a night vision feature in it. am i right or am i wrong? the only way we could use night vision is if they put it into an update.

Adding on to your comments Stickfigure91, I would like to say that if your guess is accurate, perhaps the timetable has NOTHING to do with vehicles and transports. Perhaps the Firefly is a vehicle as someone has already suggested, but perhaps the timetable pertains to the aquaducts. If so, then the aquaducts may fill with water every so often and you can't be in there. Or perhaps the Firefly is the coveted ATV, or, better yet, a boat to use to navagate the waters when flood gates open on a scheduled TIMETABLE!!! That takes care of 3 of the four clues so far. Now, as for the trench, I origanally thought that this implied a new type of Hang 'Em High, but with the new clues, it seems not so. Perhaps the trench implies that there are trench bases on either side of a series of chain islands(also suggested partially by others)! Then, you can either take the high road, or the aquaducts when it is allowed by the timetable/flood gates opening!?!?!?!? Just a guess, but I wish Frankie would tell us how freakin' close we are! Damn you Frankie and your comical remarks that keep all us Bungie fans at bay and make us not hate you because there's no DLC, and no new maps yet, and no cheating fixes! But man, u gotta give Frankie props for the jokes. I would also like to second the motion someone had of showing a close-up picture of a part(s) of the map/maps. Just a thought..... But I would like to thank all the other loyal Bungie fans for remaining patient and conservative....UNTIL WE UNLEASH OUR ATTACK ON BUNGIE WITH 500 CANNONS AND 1000 CATAPULTS IN EXACTLY.... 0800 HOURS!!!

j00 n00bs!!?!1 it is not a vehicle! if you do not remember, about a couple of weeks back somebody asked in frankies weekly update about there being DLC for weapons and vehicles. frankie stated that the DLC will be levels. so drop the concept of firefly being a vehicle. although i like deathcore's ideas of the clue words. very creative. i actually think firefly means there'll be a level like the campaign level where you can go outside in space where gravity doesn't exist....firefly comes into play there as if you watch a firefly, it kinda seems like they just float around. thats my guess. something totally new to think about. i don't agree on deathcore's island theory though. i just think that having a chain of islands would be to big and a bunch of noobs would get lost, plus, deathcore said that firefly cuold mean a water vehicle. well now that i refreshed your memories about vehicles not being downloadable, how could you get from island to island other than a solo banshee?

i for one love sword flying, and use it to get on top of maps with my friends on cumstom games. to help me understand why you are taking it out would u give me some examples of how it is used to cheat. if you can that would be great but if you can't please leave it in, it makes the game so much more fun

I have a few things I want to bring up:

First, this may seem strange at first, but why are you removing sword flying? Quite frankly (pun intended), if someone is smart enough to aquire both the rocket launcher AND the sword, as well as be able to expertly maneuver the glitch, I think they should be able to.

Second, do you have any information concerning the second volume of the Halo 2 Soundtrack? Specifically, I want to know if Incubus will be releasing any more "Movements of the Odessey." The first thru fourth kicked ass.

just thinking. About sniping when it is dark. Maybe they will give thermal enhancements to the sniper rifles, instead of Night Vision. I think that would help very much. How about anyone else, the could mean what firefly means. Because...well you get it.

lol, excuse me, i keep wanting enhancements on weapons, but it won't happen. I was thinking like a level like a volcano, witch something like collossus. The gravity elevator or whatever it is called. lol...im a stupid mother -blam!-!

Go here: http://www.bungie.net/Help/page.aspx?section=Pages&subsec tion=Main&Page=5 (its in the help section if the URL doesn't work).

Anyway, I it escapes me how people can be so impatient somtimes. Not only can they not wait a few months for DLC, but they are rude, and insult the very people who brought this great game to them in the first place. This probably goes without saying, but neither Bungie nor anyone else should listen to their meaningless whines, and go on with their lives.

On the issue of cheating, I must admit that I've had my fair share of cheating, but one time was just plain hillarious: Me and my buddies were playing capture the flag on Burial Mounds, and the opp. team standbyed form the get-go. We were down 2-0 and were going to lose anyway, so we threw a relentless attack upon the unsuspecting cheaters. Eventually, we got their flag closer and closer to our base (every time we touched it we would mysteriously die a few seconds later), but one of my teammates pulled off an UNBELIVEABLE sniping killtacular in between lag sessions, and we ran the flag home. Sure we didn't win, but we did score, and it really made my day. Just goes to show how cheaters obviously lack any skill whatsoever (some of them can't even cheat right!). So, if you ever considered pressing that little magic button on your router, just remember that you will be joining the ranks of those who really suck at life and need to get thier sick pleasures out of watching other people suffer.

Whew, now that that's done,I just thought i might share this little suggestion, I've never been stanbyed playing Team Slayer so try there if you want But I dunno, maybe I just got lucky or something.

Toodles!

oh yeah, and another thing: Frankie, you are genious keeping us hanging with all the hints (which are probably related to the maps some obscure way and we'll all be kicking ourselves later saying, "Why didn't I think of that?") So yeah. Thanks for the Weekly Uptades, I think they're really funny, and it keeps every one informed of whats going down at bungie.

Toodles (for real this time)!

Maybe they finally got the flame thrower to work? It would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeet, or maybe some kind of napalm grenade. Trouble is; fire doesn't seem to damage in single player so any fire weaponry would probably only be multiplayer.

Man I'm not sure about the word hints but timetable and firefly... hmm. Maybe a map that has a night and day. That would be rad. Or maybe make it to where you can choose night or day on each map? ehh who knows. Oh, I also wanted to know if it were at all possible to have weapons as dlc? that would be pretty rad too

I also just want to say that the longer it takes to release dlc means better quality. So quit -blam!-ing about how you're tired of playing the same maps n what not. It's not like the rest of us arent, I mean I havent played Halo for at least a month now because I dont want to get sick of it. So I'll just play some Ghost Recon or Fable(which I beat twice in four days)
