For those of you saying you don't want to pay or will wait it out...I was wondering why? I mean you will shell out $40-$50 for a new game so you don't pay for $20 for some thing you begged for just a few weeks ago? That makes no sense to me logically.

yo 4ever, i see your point, but at the same time, this is halo, and bungie is expected to be a cut above the rest of the other bull#@#$ games out there, these guys are supposed to be well on top of their #$%$, and im sorry but in the last months they havent been, and now we wait while these people sip mocha lattes and eat buttered bagels with cream cheese that oozes out onto the map layout sheets, which will delay us even further, in fact, if these downloads get pushed back, im killin the person that invented cream cheese

Bluejet that was only about the controllers difference between PC and Xbox, but thanks any way. Well you Xbox players are lucky, if Halo 2 dont come out on PC, i jst aint gonna get the halo games on xbox and the new xbox which is coming out next year. If it dont come out on PC, thats the end of my dislike on Halo, but ill always love the first, best game ive ever played, i never knew that this game would lead me to have a hobby in FPS games, making me a member of Bungie, joining other forums to get information on Halo2,and reading the Halo books, just shows its truly a legendary game. Such a legendary game, i had to complete it on Legendary. That "CONTEMPLAINMENT" map or something like that i think is the best one, cosit looks good for CTF.

Yeah. I'm going to g in with a couple friends and buy it together and share it so we dont have to spend so much fricken money...

What bungie doesnt know is is that they are losing hundreds of players everyday due to the fact that the standying is getting out of control... I got on the other day to see if it cleared up any..but what do you know....3 of the 4 games i played i got standyed in team slayer...i play in a couple clan matches wiht my friends which the clan was level 2 and we got standyed EVERYTIME....no joke...we played 4 games and got standyed all 4 times...i immediatly turned my xbox off and decided that it wasnt going to be turned on again untill something is done...All of the cheaters out there should be shot...its a damn game...its not life people...play the GAME and have fun....im laughing right now because its so rediculously stupid.

Another thing is is that those damn free 3 month trial cards are the main source of cheaters...almost every person that plays xbox live has ATLEAST 2 accounts...Almost every person that standys has about 2 or 3 or even more accounts....so when their account gets banned...no sweat....they got 5 more to back up their other one...

So i guess youll be seeing me when the content comes out....if ever...

20 dollars is alot to some people !
Sorry if you like the idea of paying for maps but again it sucks balls!

Now 5 dollars would be a little bit better but for how many people playing Halo 2
1 pennie would be enough!

Wow this is terrible. They thought telling us this was good news well its really bad. $20.00 for dlc thats sad. I thought they would have made enough money off of the game itself. I am also very disapointed in no info on the patch for standbying. This game is trash when someone cheats. Yea the new maps may be cool but no one is going to pay $20.00 to be standbyed. I think bungie needs to talk to the gamers and see how we feel about these maps and there prices. FIX STANDBYING BEFORE THE MAPS PLEASE!

To the dude asking if the maps are put on the original disc: they aren't, they'll be stored on your hard drive, because xboxs don't come (standard) with DVD writers. I have a feeling though that they'll record your gamertag if you download it, so if you accidentally delete it or something it'll come free again.

To all the people -blam!-ing in this forum about the unfairness and the cost of it all - Get a freaking life, alright? Most of you have just looked at the screenshots and not read the update in full. I see you complaining about "No Hang 'em High?" and asking why. Read the update. You ask why it's going to cost. Read the update. You say about time. Are you a game programmer? Do you regularly create great and completely unglitched maps for consumers?

I didn't think so.

Think about it. $20.00US (or $40 NZ) gets split in a lot of ways: the cost of pressing the discs, the bungie employees wages, the marketing campaigns, etc. Try dividing it up, you'll see there isn't actually that much profit. Sure, if 50 million people buy it then Bungie will be living in luxury, but I don't think so.

9 new maps people! How can you be complaining? If you don't have the money, or refuse to pay the money, wait until it comes free, or borrow the game disc off a friend. And I've seen questions about how they're going to incorporate it into playlists.

Read the update.

The update has so more information this week than it has had in the last 2 or 3 months altogether, so I can see how maybe you're overwhelmed by it. But go through it, slowly. You'll understand eventually. Or if you don't, then good luck in life. Good luck.

For all of you complaining, realize that this game has already given you hours upon hours of pure fun and entertainment. $20? At minumum wage thats a little less then 4 hours of work, and dont tell me you wont spend 4 hours on these new maps, they just look UBER!! I mean hell, the new maps arnt all its about, no more stand-by, insta-grabbing and wall-grabbing. I will mss sword-flying though...but no one has mention the AWESOME 2v2 Playlist! How many times on live have you had one guy you really wanted to play with, but didnt want to take the chance of two loser teammates, or getting stand-by'd because you can't get host? I plan to totally dominate the 2v2 playlist. I have been talking about it for months on LIVE but never have i posted, it's like a dream come true, again my congrats to Bungie....you did something right! I mean hell, have you complainer's ever designed an entire map? You have absolutley no idea the work that goes into it...as a beginner programmer, I understand the massive amounts of coding involved...you all need to STFU and i MEAN IT!! I dont mean to get vulgar, but if you are complaining about cash, then dont pay for it...if you don't want to wait then DONT WAIT!! Take advantage of what you have, don't ask for more...this is tempting bungie to delay it longer, because of you complainers.

It's just a matter of principle. If everyone who has already forked out money to buy the game, also runs out and pays for new maps then what's to stop every xbox live game in the future from doing the same thing!!

Paying $20 bucks for maps over XBL is absured. if we get half for free, why would we pay $20 for the other half. comeon people make some sense.

by the way... if u dont want to pay so -blam!- badly, just wait until it goes free! For the rest of us that are willing to pay, we'll be carressing the new curves and creases of the maps by late April.
