Boooooo! 20$ for 9 new maps this is bull plop! I already payed 200$ for my xbox, 50$ for halo 2, 50$ for 3 other controlers, 50$ a month for high speed, 20$ for the router, and 5$ for a ethernet cord. When will you greedy microsoft/bungie goons ever have enough money?!

Screw the people without xbox live they don't deserve new maps. Just give us a new map every week for nine weeks instead of loafing around and making us wait till LATE June to get all the maps. You make us wait for six months for 9 new maps and now we have to payfor them when we deserve them. This is retarded why don't you guys just start working on new maps now and maybe they'l be done by this year and then well have to fork over more money to people who have sold out and forgotten why they make games. For people to enjoy them and have fun. You can't put a price on that.

These new maps better be twice as good as the maps I've already played a thousand times.

I HATE BUNGIE!!!!

We all should be thankful for Bungie doing all this stuff to make Halo better even after reading this stupid posts complainig about their jobs.
Halo CE and Halo2 ARE 2 of the best games we can play in the xbox and the second one is getting better.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks again

While I'm sure a great number of us understand that Bungie does have operational costs and whatnot we still do not enjoy paying for something we already bought. Like someone else said: It's a matter of principle. The Mechassault people did it right when they released 3 maps and like 7 mechs for free, SCPT did it wrong when they released the Bank and their other 'priemium' map.

If you cannot spend the 20 USD, then borrow your friends or chip in and buy one disc for like 20 people you know. I'm sure you can afford 1 USD.

Hahaha, you beat me. Well, I am fairly pissed off that I have to wait ANOTHER whole month for new content. Wow I really feel like quitting Halo 2 right now. This kind of sucks.


Anyone who says that they're going to quit Halo 2 now is kidding themselves if they think anyone cares. Your money has been taken, have a nice day.

Also, idiots that are complaining about how long it is going to take before this stuff comes out are the same idiots who complained about how long it took for Halo 2 to come out. Halo 2 needed more time, and I trust development teams ahead of fans, players, and publishers (M$) when they say it needs more time. They weren't heeded before, so why don't we just drink a tall glass of shut the hell up, wait, and have an even better time than was previously possible.

Thank you Bungie! It's just funny to see that you guys bust your tails to try and calm the masses and still complaints. Oh well, keep pluggin' away guys! Also, thank you for explaining why there will be a cost. Coming from a guy who works in marketing, I kind of figured that you would HAVE to charge something to get food on the table. I mean you are adding 9 new maps to 12 already. For all of you math whizzes out there, that's 75% more game. 18 bucks all said and done (if you're an XBL customer) that's less than half the cost of an average priced game(50$). So everyone who wants to whine and say " Why isn't the content free" or "I'll just wait until its free", be ready to get owned by gamers that are going to be several months ahead of you.

ive been hearing stuff about maps costing money, that sounds pretty stupid and you should just share the joy of halo 2 with everybody for free, and not become money hunry

I think it is stupid that XBOX Live users have to pay for the new maps even though they already pay for an XBOX Live subscription. If I still have to pay for the new maps, (and I'm too impatient to wait for when they are free) what am i paying for with my XBOX Live subscription???

This is freaking awsome!!! 1.) the glitches,hacks,cheats,etc. are being worked with so now i wont get a big f-ing headake when i playing on-line and the entire other team is glitching :). 2.) The new maps look soooooo incredably sweet, and i really dont give a damn if i have to pay for the disk cause' i want the new maps right when they come in.3.) My LAN friends can finaly stop -blam!-ing about not getting the new maps cause' the dont have XBL. Bungie keep up the good work guys(and girls?) i cant wait to play on those fresh new maps!!!

I have many complaints about the post, but the thing that bothers me is that one of the best maps is being left out. The weapons physics are somthing that the designers screwed up, and should have never made "more realistic". The game takes place in a fictional future environment, who is to say that there could not be a pistol as good as what was found in the original Halo? And for argument's sake and continuity issues, why would the designers see fit to add a better shield, but then equip Master Chief with inferior weaponry. Add to this that a good sniper can own a map, and that the pistol was a good equalizer that actually helped balance things because EVERYONE had one, and you get another example of Bungie dropping the ball. I love Halo 2 on Live, but there are still balance issues in the game. The campaign mode was obviously rushed out before the game was ready [after 3 years yet], the cone of vision seem s more restricted, and the motion trackers are less useful. So we got a game that was less developed, not finished, and removed much of the strategy of the first so that we can just run straight ahead, blasting away. But we gave Bungie the benefit of the doubt, because we thought that there would be more [like an ending] but now we get to pay for more maps, and keep hoping. I will continue to play Halo 2 because it is the best Live experience out there, and is a great multi-play time, but Bungie really needs to impress us with what comes next, otherwise they just lowered the bar.....right across our heads. For the sake of gaming, I am rooting for something truly amazing, because I feel mostly let down with Halo 2.

thanks for that hippiekiller...like someone else said...i dont give a hoot about the 9 new maps...all it creates is more fun for the stand-byer to run around and explore the new maps while meleeing people in the back due to blue screen...

To you people out there practically on ur knees licking bungies loli pop...just stop...Bungie hasnt done a damn thing for me or n e one i know...All the messages i get from my friends on xbox live are people complaining and bickering about how much halo 2 sucks and how their going back to halo 1...Im sorry to say but i think im heading down that road too...

i have an appartment. I pay for all my bills. pay for my food and my dogs food. insurance, and internet service....between all of that i dont think i can afford something that is a waste of money. But for all u guys out there that think its not a lot of money...im sure its not to you because all you gotta do is ask ur mommy and daddy for 20 dollars and im sure you get it because halo 2 is obviously ur life... Bungie hasnt done a thing for me and im sure they wont in the future...i can almost gauruntee you that standying will not be completely fixed when the fix comes out...but until then youll probably see me on XBC playing old fashion halo 1....
