Wow! I am really impressed with the plan to roll out the new maps, obviously a ton of thought and work went into this. I would like to thank bungie for creating all new, diverse and incredibly interesting new content. The idea of the premium playlist is great, I was afraid that the new maps would only be available in custom games, but the premium playlist is a great holdover until the maps are free.

Sweet! If I wasn't a totally poor college student, I'd by the disk... I guess I'll just wait and download the maps for free.
And shame on you people for complaining. As far as I'm concerned, all Bungie HAD to do was fix the cheating gliches and stuff,.. but instead they give us 9 NEW MAPS?! And they'll be free late summer?! Awesome. I've had to pay for extra content on other games before, and they were all small over priced add-ons. Atleast this is actually cool stuff that all know we'll be using.
Thanks Bungie, you're the best!

Thanks Bungie! They look awesome and Frankie...once again I am impressed by your writing skills. Very descriptive! haha

Guys, don't complain. Everything costs money to make so they need to get something back for it. You know how many people are paid on salary to make new maps? You expect them to just eat up the cost? They already made money off the game they didn't have to go do this for us. I for one will probably be dowloading them all and then buying the disc when released. Thanks again!

bungie has some balls making live players pay for the new maps... we should get all the first four free for waiting 6+ months for stuff. As of now im putting halo 2 on the shelf and going to another game because. this may be the biggest -blam!- up in video game history... i stand corected is the biggest -blam!- up in video game history.

this is worthless news! The map news is awesome and I am stoked. Good idea with the staggered stuff. The only problem I have is with the patch, I was under the impression it would be coming out today or really SOON why the -blam!- do we have to what until late april, I can't even play matchmaking without getting cheatd it is pure bull-blam!-

Yeah, for some reason, I don't understand how you can whine about paying for the maps. $20.00 isn't that much when you think about it. You pay more for your groceries each week. .


by the same logic i also pay 70 dollars a month for a car payment. perhaps i blow that off? im not sure what your talking about really. yes people buy food each week, and prolly spend more than 20 dollars....for survival. and that bungie is why i hate live....dealing with 11 teen year olds

What's to stop a group of people from buying one disk and downloading all the maps on several xboxs? If that's possible, i see no problem in going in on a disc w/a couple of my buddies and all of us getting the maps...

You say the price is $19.99 for the retail CD do you know how much it is for the rest of the world. And will the price of the maps be the same as other downloads on XBOX Live?

I have a few questions for Frankie here.....

1. When is the Retail disc going to be available in Canada?(Any specific date, in otherwords?)

2. Are you ever going to release new weapons downloads for Halo 2?

3. When are the two free maps going to be available for download over live? (Again, any specific dates?)

$20 like £11.50? Think about it guys that's nothing. 9 Brand New Maps and New playlists. This is in a way like a whole new game and if your really that cheap and don't want to pay then wait till late summer and get it for free.

One bad point.......maps come out end of april, thats the end of the holidays and after that I got huge exams =(
