This week we finally answer the really, really pressing questions. What are the maps, when are they coming, what do they cost, how you get them and what this means to folks who don't have Xbox Live. Hot, hot, hot.


Should really read!

This week we finally answer the really, really pressing questions. What the hell were we thinking making these maps, when were ready they will be here be it 10 years from now, why are we addressing the map questions and not the cheating ones, why do they cost as much as a platinum hit, well never tell you how to get them and what this means to those who dont have Xbox Live, but well never really tell you that your just basically SOL give up the 20$ and get over it. F-U, F-U and F- Ur Couch!

Maybe he does know how to!?!

"Stop for a moment to admire the scenery and you'll see a complicated system of waterfalls, canals and pools. Splashing water and the chirp of birds help define the sound scheme of this otherwise peaceful environment."

we aren't on vacation we're on a battlefield.. the detail isnt necessary...i'd love to see someone stop and listen to the birds... free kill... we dont need the ridiculous detail bungie, maybe without it THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MUCH FRIGGIN LAG. the effort and thought is nice but wtf, we're here to kill not pass an art class.

think about how much time bungie put into this 9 maps that is more maps that any other live game has ever had out, and on the first released. Maybe if your dad went to college you wouldnt have to worry about it.

They said they tried to make hang'em (i think it is not a very good level) but they said it ended up sucking and not working with halo 2 weapons and it wasn't fun so they deleted it so all you people shutup and stop whining. Im glad its mostly all new maps it is time for change.

I hope Bungie priced this so that they make enough money off it to make it worthwhile continue doing more. (maybe that's why there is no date for when it becomes free? I hope so)


As far as I’m concerned Halo2 was one of the best bargains I’ve ever gotten. It’s given 5 months of fun gaming and counting. The only thing I remember coming this close is Halo. That’s a much better ROI than any other game I have, so I’d love to see it keep expanding and… who knows?... maybe see Halo3 some day.

The best case that can be made for this IS a business case.

I don’t agree with the people that are complaining about it not being free. There is no such thing as free, and the alternative is, eventually, no additional content. I’ll buy the downloads next month, and I’ll buy the DVD this summer, thank you very much.

I think Bungie supports their customer base far better than most game companies out there,

Bungie, you guys rock.

Bungie Does it again!!! Every week they answer questions and dodge questions. When are they going to stop stand-by? OH, AND WHY DID ONE OF MY ACCOUNTS GET BANNED FOR 2 DAYS WHEN I NEVER DID ANY STAND-BYING? I played team training, and because I am a 20 I got banned. Other than that, Bungie can you answer me this question - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO END STAND-BY??? I love that you are adding new maps, I am willing to pay, but I want to be able to play this game without people cheating. I am getting now where I never am able to get a game because people cheat. I got my new clan to a 16 without ever cheating, and now I never get any games because of boosting, and cheating. Oh, and could you please stop saying the system works? The banning system I can proved doesn't work, because the people who should be in the top 1000 are not able to get up there. Oh, and whats the deal with Stk Legend90/Legend90/P O Legend 90? People alwasy talk about how through him they can have people banned. Who the heck is he? I can't wait till people stop cheating on this game, its starting to tick me off. I could almost careless about the new maps, I just want people to stop the whole pushing the button/ Pulling the cord. Yes, I know how to do it, and if you try to dummy- secondary, or anything else, I am not scared to use it on you to kill the flag guy. I think some of the glitches are cool, but shouldn't be used in matchmaking. I also wish they would get rid of the freaking sword!!! Cheapest weapon in the game. How hard is it to came in a room with the sword? Its near impossible to take it out in lockout, and midship. It requires no skill. Oh well, hopefully Halo 3 or 2 1/2 will not have all these problems!!!

Wow, what a bunch of cry-babies. Is $20 that much to you?? I could spend that much on a pizza, 5 minutes of joy...on a night out drinking, couple hours of entertainment....on a few movies, few hours of entertainment. The Halo 2 expansion will provide most people hundreds (for some thousands) of hours of entertainment. That's a damn good deal for 20 bucks. It's not a fix or an update, it's all new content, Bungie is a business not a volunteer organization. Also, additional revenue for Bungie translates to additional time and resources which can be put towards fixing glitches and cheats. I will gladly pay for the new content.

In last week's update Frankie told us what would be fixed with the update, and this week he told us the update will come out shortly after the first map pack. In the mean time please shut up.

The new maps look really vicious, I can't wait for them to come out. I do not mind even a little to pay them, it is so worth it. I must say dat I was a lil disapointed about the hang em high news, but i guess its for the best. 2v2 is gonna be the best matchmaking game ever. I can garrenty atleast level 25 i can get to.

Okay, that's kinda lame that you have to pay for the maps even if you have Live. 5 bucks for the two maps Sanctuary and Turf isn't that bad. And I guess the 12 or whatever for the other five isn't bad either, it's cheaper than the retail disc for non-live users.

But I have a question...will the halo 2 "sidestory" thing be posted on bungie.net? or will we HAVE to buy the disc if we want to see it?

AND STOP SAYING BRING BACK HANG 'EM HIGH! That map SUCKED. God, if anything bring back Infinity from Halo PC, or sidewinder...well, I know the sidewinder thing will never happen, but I've let it go. Halo 2 needs those medium/big maps. Small maps SUCK unless it's one on one or two on two, and you already have enough small maps for those gametypes.
