One more thing; What's the price going to be in the UK? certainly the DLC will cost no more to distribute over here so at current exchange rates I make that about £3.20 for the first two maps and £6.50 for the next five. I hope I'm right,

I know a lot of games companies like to just swap a dollar sign for a pound sign when they release stuff over here, but help us out here. That also applies to the disk, I think it would be a PR risk to release the add on for over £15. Sell it to us for a tenner and we'll love you forever. I know it would be slightly cheaper than in the US, but hey, in the UK it costs us nearly 75 bucks just to buy Halo 2 in the first place.

Halo 2 has a lot more people playing it, if u look at the information there is a same ratio from cheaters to playes on Halo 2 as in any other game.

And Price? Its worth it!!
These guys worked ever since halo 2 shipped and started these maps from Scratch, Scratch as in redoing the whole map, not using the same engine, they started brand new, i expect these maps to be amazingly awesome, and hope fully no glitches lol.

Sounds cool, but how's it gonna work for "Non-Livers" Can we still get it? And where can I get it when it comes out? Will it be in Wal Mart or something? That's about all I got for today.

All I know is Halo 2.5 better have 1080i and SIDEWINDER, because if you think youre doing Halo fans justice with this nonsense this is one fan who is not fooled.

If youre saying Hang 'Em High wont be great with a few add on canisters and barrels then youre full of S--T. Why don’t you let the real players decide for themselves. Another thing, just because you work strenuously on new maps don’t you think the (ACCORDING TO BILL GATES ESTIMATE) over 2Million copies worth of Halo 2 sold that’s roughly 50$ a copy so stress 100$ MILLION dollars Bungie and MS earned from sales of Halo 2 alone is more than efficient to keep servers running and new content FREE?

I used to love playing Oni on Mac and Myth was excellent, but it seems like MS has soured the 2% milk you once stood for. This sounds more like an MS ploy to keep up with their market value and Bungie has to make the sacrifice for it.

Only thing I cant stand up for Bungie for is taking Halo 1 and turning it into a quick buck, with bad geometry and a mediocre multiplayer core. I love Halo 2 like the next person, but I am one person who would rather have waited another year for the relase to know everything was Halo-esque not “Halo 2 It’s like Halo with ninjas on fire SHUT THE F—K Up” Its more like

“Halo 2 the game rot with flaming hot garbage starting weapons that includes spawning with dual SMG’s that in fact are like trying to kill someone by throwing shredded pieces of diarrhea at them while they shoot at you with a Rifle from 300 yards away, but cant hit you because Havocs physics engine has a greater mass of gravity than Earth itself, so range goes away completely with it as well as the pistol. “WAIT NOT DONE YET JUST HAD TO TAKE A QUICK BREATH” Halo 2 it’s like going to Wendy’s to grab a nice warm bowl of Chili biting into it and finding a flaw in the savory taste, no its not quite solid and it has a bit of crunch, oh it’s a rotten finger that was placed there by some people who were so quick to not take their time to make a quick buck they said eh hopefully people wont notice”

Guess what?

I did!

ok, to all of those people saying "WHAT, NO SIDEWINDER?!", and "I WANT HANGEM HIGH!", please shut up. they said there will be 9 new maps and they only showed us 4. what do you think the other ones might be. HINT HINT!


Um not Sidewinder or Hangem High, if they would use a word like Sidewinder or Hang em High, i checked all of them, there not bringing it back... Sidewinder would be cool, but Hang em High would suck, go play it and imagine the Halo 2 weapons on it, SMGs, Dual weidling... think about it

im gonna try to be fair here...

Bungie: 1.it sucks that you are making us pay for these maps when earlier you said that they were going to be free
2. the maps look coolish
3. your "late summer" is late spring '06
4. thanks for something... i guess... even though it just made me angry

Everyone else: 1. for real? how funny would it be if nobody bought it and everyone just waited? not like its gonna happen... but LOL
2. complain about it... its natural...
3. Bungie really did do their best to get the updates and the maps out to everyone
4. but since the xbox live people are the heart and soul of thier company... why dont we get "advantages" over the people who havent subscribed?.... why do they now get more because they DONT have xbox live???
5. Course its not like i really want to see a bungie documentary or whatever cause the last one was just a waste of time...



oh by the way... bungie created to much of a great name for themselves before the game was even released and theres no way any company in the world could hold up to how great halo two was supposed to be/is

Are you kidding me right now. Do you honestly think that M$ doesn't want the Blockbuster and Game fly revenue. Of course you will be able to get it and share it. Did you use a key code when you put Halo 2 in your Xbox. That $20 disc is going to go into every modded xbox that has ever been banned by live so you can still have LAN parties with all the maps. My only hope will be that every modded Xbox user could some how share the same disc. I will be paying for my download and buying the disc for my "Backup XBox" when I have friends over.

HALO2MC they are not copied from campaign. Just the setting is and if you have the limited edition of HALO 2 then you would know better on how long 1 map takes to complete.

why do you little kids wine about paying for some maps when your parents are actually paying for them. dumbass spoiled brats i hope you do stop playing your probably the jerks who use standby and cry when standby is used on back at you, it will make it that much better for the rest of us. as for the adults who work why cant you save up twenty bucks till then its long enough time even if you save a dollar a day it is way more than enough time unless you are addicted to crack. oh and to the rest of the misc. winers ITS JUST A GAME so either have fun or get a life you so much need.

Please answer this.

If you preorder the boxed one at the store can you get a code to dl it on live free so we can get the maps early but also get the extra content on the disk?

dude you just can't sit back right now and count your blessings can you. I seriuos this pisses me off that you people are complaing that they're making us the costumers brand new maps. As for the price stuff if you watch the extra disc and see all the places and things they needed you would realize that it all cost alot of money like the whole mountian dew thing probebly cost a chunck and making all those games.
And don't go saying that making those games were cheap because if you take a step back you would realize that they had to make enough METAL boxes for every store which in Americas current market situation you would realize that raw materials such as metal aluminum (or what ever type of metal they are made of.) are at a high cost. So if you wouldn't mind you should get off bungies back and thank them for making these new maps for us. Did you ever think that they could possibly just not. Then what. you would just be sitting there playing the same amps over and over again!(not the maos aren't really good as they are) playing with more and more cheaters everyday. So be happy about whats coming and enbrace the what is being HANDED TO YOU!

-Thank you

I hope they don't fix the sword flying glitch, rocket launcher sword glitch, sword cancelling, and getting ontop of maps because its fun to do and it absloutely harmless to the gameplay online. By the way, BUNGIE YOU GUYS ROCK HARDER THAN ANTHING! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

maybe these new maps will shed light on "part of the solution". look on the yellow wall in headlong, you will see it and then all over the lvl numbers two 7s, two 1s, three 27s, two 6s, one 3, they might have something to do with it. also if you look at the "soda" upside down the "soda" looks like "epos" which shounds like hipos... there are hipos (from the shoty in halo 1) on the yellow wall also.

Sorry but one last reply. $20 is nothing compared to going to a movie but somebody let Bungie and Bill that I would pay a hundred just to keep playing it without the candy a## cheaters. Please tell Xbox Live to ban them all and set up a complaint line that doesn't work. Or better yet sell their credit card information to crooks. Parents please teach your 14 year old geeks not to cheat because at some point in their life they will be recieving a sound beating.
