They aren't greedy you idiot. Bungie is a -blam!- corporation. They do the work, and have every -blam!- right to charge for it.

Firstly, I'm happy that Bungie is finally releasing some DLC only 6 months after its release, and finally fixing cheating. However, a question that remained unanswered in the update was whether or not the stats will be reset after the autoupdate takes place and all the maps and new gametypes are included.

If you are going to complain, go complain to someone who gives a dam. These guys busted their asses on these maps, and on Halo 2, to give you guys a good gaming experience. and they have definetely done that. If your complaining about having to pay for the maps, then wait until they become free! Like all companies, Microsoft and Bungie are in business to make money, so they have sunk they're resources into this project for months, so they need something from you to pay for the expenses... And if your complaing about having to wait another month, just think about how long you waited for the actualy game, lets see, 2 YEARS!!! thats 24 months for you children out there who shouldnt be playing this game in the first place... So just wait, they will come!

Holy crap! Did anyone actually read the announcement? Here's the breakdown if you didn't:

The bug fixes will be out before the maps, so probably 2nd or 3rd week of April. The first two maps (which are FREE) will be out at the end of April, as will the first two pay maps (which are $5.99 (for both NOT each)).

The disc with all nine maps will be out June 28th (as per XBoxlive.com) and will sell for $20. You will also be able to download the other five for a total of $11.99.

Finally, all the maps will be free to download at the end of summer.

So in summary, You can buy the disc for $20 at the end of June, or you can pay about $18 to download them, or you can just wait and get them free (I won't, must have now!).

Given the difficulty of programming on consoles and in general, nine maps in 6 months time is very good guys. And to those who whine about the price, either suck it up and realize those Bungie guys need to eat while they program, or just friggin wait until the end of Summer.

I am sick to death of these complaints. I've read a few pages from this thread, and I can see the same pattern as usual emerging: Bungie owe us this, Bungie suck, Bungie are tight-arses who want all our money, Bungie doesn't deserve us, we hate Bungie. All of the time in english that wouldn't pass the 5th form (or whatever grade that is in America).

I saw a post from Dajae Avolution a while back in this forum, about page 13 I think it was. Something along the lines of "For every person who says 'I hate you Bungie' there are a thousand of us who love you". So true. Yet, we are the ones playing the game, enjoying it, and not spending all our spare time flaming the geniuses who created this game. For your information, heres a news flash: Bungie don't owe us sweet -blam!- all.

You know what they owe us? Nothing. Nothing at all.

I posted a while back about the costs of producing, manufacturing, and marketing NINE maps, as well as the other content, that comes on the disc. The cheap $20 disc. I'm broke; I can't afford new clothes, I can barely get the petrol to get me to and from school and my part time job, and I can see this is a relatively cheap price.

So get a life. If you don't want the extra maps, don't buy them. In fact, I hope you don't download them later when they're free either. I hate meeting idiotic little kids who have nothing better to do than express their limited vocabulary and witless opinions.

I don't understand why people are complaining about paying 20 measly dollars for 9 new multi-player maps and whatever else is on the disk. The disk dosen't come for about a month, cut a few lawns. :)

Who is Bungie to say hang em high is not fun with new layout. They should pay more attention to what the fans want not what Bungie thinks is best. Why do you think there has been so most talk(BY THE FANS) about creating Hang em High. Fans WANT Hang em High so start LISTENING Bungie. This is terrible job of PR

Um i have no idea how to just post so thats why i am replying to this guys message. anyway.

I don't really want to sound like another yes men but i have to agree with the positive messages in this forum. Bungie has given the community NINE maps in less than six months. Now, name one xbox game that has that many maps for download. Of all the games i can think of, The most maps any game has given us is three. I am so sick of hearing these losers complain "Theres no hang em high" or "Its too long" that I want to smash their head through a car's windshield, then take their mother dorothy mantooth out to a nice seafood dinner and NEVER call her again. AND about the money that it costs to download the maps.... four words: GET A FREAKING JOB! don't complain about the pennies it costs to enjoy hours worth of gaming because you are too lazy to get off your mom's couch and earn money. So to all you -blam!- sapiens out there who have to find something to complain about everything, get a life

Amen man, I was starting to think I was the only one left in the forums who supports the people who provide us with this forum...

Hang 'em high wouldn't work as well with the new physics. They tried it, they got bad results. Get a life. It would just ruin Hang 'em High forever, and obviously Bungie doesn't want to ruin a classic.

Like freuger said, get off of your momma's couches and do something with your lives.

Ok i can feel for the cheating if you get cheated on, but you would think you would stop being bullheaded and let the little 6 year old who has to cheat at a video game take the tanted win and you have the balls to say "yeah he beat me but he cheated" and leave bungie out of this. They banned you for cheating right but wouldn't you rather them ban you for cheating then not do anything about it at all? The new maps look great yeah it sucks that you have to pay for them but hell you didn't seem to have no problem paying for the game.... I think most people that play the game online either -blam!- about cheating too much or cheat themselfs. You have to be the person who hates a cheaterand just lets them win by cheating, and dosen't cheat themselfs. If your low enough to slump to cheating in a make belive world because someone can kill you more times or get a flag without you killing them then so be it. But yeah the new maps are great and all but isnt't there more important stuff to fix with Halo 2 then new maps? Can we gat a path or somthing to fix the glitches or something I am not a programer nor can cheat but i think we all can Rocket trick lol. I don't know if anyone has noticed but i for one have been through about all the invisable walls in every map with shouldn't be able to happen.... I just think before adding new maps you should have fixed the problems you had but hats off to the new maps there nice and -blam!- you -blam!-s who -blam!- about paying for them holy -blam!- not like you have to buy anything else all you do is play Halo 2 Hahaha :)

If some of you guys hate Halo 2 so much... here's and idea... play something else!!!! You are -blam!-ing about how much it sucks, but last time I checked it costs the same as almost any other game out there and half them aren't worth $20. You are not paying anymore than the normal $50 (unless you get the LE). Ubisoft has offered premium content, along with MA2. Personally I really don't want to pay the $20 and am going to try and wait till summer, unless I check out the maps and I really like them. Not sure if anyone knows this but making games/content is made by people. People's time, their work time goes into this, thus they have to be paid to be there. You think they are trying to make another couple mill off of this?!!? It's going to pay for those hours to make the game, support the servers so you can download the content, in the case of the disc pay for shipping, packing, making the dvd, and also the stores that sell this are trying to make money. So stop being just ignorrant -blam!-s and get educated past the 6th grade. I'm happy to see that other people actually see this. For you idiots that think it's too expensive... get a freakin job you lazy -blam!-s. Heres another idea... have some patients and wait for it to be free. They made these maps damn fast, especially since they started AFTER they were done with Halo 2, and they started from the ground up. Just be happy that they are willing to release new content and release patches.
