There are over 5 million copoes of Halo 2 out there. If only half of them buy the disc that is 50 million dollars. Is 9 maps and fixing bugs that should have not been in the game the first place worth lining their pockets with an additional $50,000,000? I didn't realize it was so expensive to draw maps!

I wonder If someone can answer this for me. Will these downloads be integrated into your system ( like they are apart of your H2 disc origanal maps) OR will they be downloaded Its' own H2 Hard drive slot(kinda like player profiles) ????????????????

Which two maps are going to be free????? and how many players will be on them in matchmaking? Dun Dun Dun!!!!

Rignt now I am filled with mixed emotions. First I am happy to finaly get som solid information. Second, I am a little pissed that there is more waiting involved. I could care less that they are going to charge for the maps, its the waiting that kills me. I remember when the game first came out. I played late into the night and went to work early the next morning. Today I passed playing in favorof playing my new PSP. Several weeks ago they hinted that there would be new maps this month, and since have been checking bungie.net several times a day to check for the long anticipated news that new maps were available. Now this new weekly update comes and it isnews of more waiting. Maybe its for the best. Finals are in the end of April / beginning of May, and I already felt the rath of the H2 bug last semester. For now ill stick to my twice a week session and keep working and studdying.

PS the main reasons i have been put off is cheaters and lack of variety of maps on matchmaking. Nobody likes playing Burrial Mounds three times in a row.

All I have to say is who cares about the people who don't play Halo 2 online its their fault! And it sucks balls that we have to pay for the new maps or wait 4 months!

Lord Rockie: This is also something I completely agree with. What the hell is the purpose of secrecy from a company who makes video games? Sometimes even the gov't secrecy confuses me but a Video Game company with little competition to speak of, needs secrecy? Especially when it's the issue dodging, false info to shut us up type? Come on, I think our political leaders do enough of that already.

since theyre already robbing us anyway, since they could just charge 50 cents for the maps, and still make a huge profit, so i doubt theyll stop us from using a disc on more than one xbox, i mean that just seems like a horrible thing to do... but it IS bungie.... so you never know. and the dlc wont be intregrated onto the disc, since the discs arent rewritable, and it would be almost impossible.

I think ill just wait till late summer, play chaos theory and lock down. they wouldnt put the pay maps into matchmaking would they?

So... If I buy a game disc. would the maps I download stay on my xbox while I play Halo 2 or would I have to put the game disc. every time I want to play the new maps?

I think that Backwash might be Sidewinder just because of the name but it will be super cool

As of now im putting halo 2 on the shelf and going to another game because. this may be the biggest -blam!- up in video game history... i stand corected is the biggest -blam!- up in video game history.

20 bucks is not a lot. Bungie is fixing the cheating. There is no real reason to complain. Bungie have the right to secrecy if they want it...

All profits go to beer, and pocky for Greg. It makes perfect accounting sense.

This is awesome, as a Hard-Core Halo-er, that gives me one more month to tune up, and one more month to have some fun with the glitches. The new maps look great, though i don't like the pay idea (who does?). Im glad they are addressing the issues their players have complained about, most gamers dont realize that a lot of games are released and nothing is ever done to tune up, and/or fix them. Bungie my congradulations go out to you in anticipation of a great download.

PS My favorite part?? 2 VS 2 PLAYLIST YAY-YAYEEEE
