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!

if you hate bungie so much, then why the hell are you on the forums and why the hell do you even play halo 2?!
i think that if you can't say ne thing good about bungie, then you need to shut your F---ing mouth or sign off and don't come back because your getting every1 pissed at you.

From what I understand Bungie/Microsoft already made millions of dollars with Xbox live and Halo 2. If bungie guys are making excuses like "I need to pay my rent next month" thats BS. They all have enough money to feed and clothe their families for the next two years. But since they are tied to microft. Witch is a greedy company, bungie is being influenced to be greedy too. Me my self I play Just like two games on xbox live. That's Halo 2 and Mech Assault 2. Mech Assault is also connected to Microsoft but for some reason in the first game pretty much everything was free. Or you could download it alltogether for like 3 bucks. But bungie in their quest for money charge us. I personally am still going to buy the maps but I think it's total BS. We pay for XBL and for H2 and we still have to pay for some little piece of content. I kno like 9 maps sound like alot but it's not that much. Halo 2 if a couple of Gigs. I can uderstand that. but the DLC will be like one or less witch is 20 bucks. Not worth it. If the maps were like a dollar each i could understand and I could still buy my coke after school. But common guys it would not hurt you or microsoft to realase for free. You guys are rich. But then here comes some guy saying "they are going to be free but the end of summer" well if they are gonna be eventually why not just do it now. But wait you guys are greedy so you need to make a few bucks first. I can't uderstand why rich people are so greedy.

You know, why would i pay 20 bucks for somthing that is going to be free in like 2 more months.. I've already waited this long... Doesnt make sense. Also We've waited this long for somthing to be released I know it was a longshot but i was kind of hoping for the last level...... You know The end of the story...... THE FRIGGIN END! I would have paid 30+ dollars to get and ending to the finest game ever.... Instead we are gonna get charged 20 bucks for some Cut and paste levels from single player and a Cutscene?? Whats up with that?

why do people hate bungie so much? here's a list:
1-they sold out
2- they have a history of screwing over the people who make them their money (i.e. mac users)
3- they have a history of leading people on and lying (i.e. giving out 2 month xbox live trial subscriptions, then people like it buy the one year, BUT are never told they'd have to pay for maps, would people ever have bought subscriptions to live knowing they'd have to pay for MAPS)
4-unlike blizzard and other companies, they are part of microsoft, so they won't release a map editor/let others have input into this process, instead they get a bunch of MBA's into a room and come up with a strategy to screw over people already paying way too much
5-the elitist, cocky justification of the pricing structure is worse than the actual costs themselves, how can bungie even try to justify this, why dont they just be straight out, which brings me to point number 6:
6-lack of honesty, bungie knew that if they announced people would pay for maps, but they wouldnt add weapons or vehicles, nobody would have signed up for xbox live
7- NO BUNGIE "FOOTSOLDIERS (PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO HOLD BUNGIES ----) HAVE ANY ROOM TO ARGUE WITH ANYTHING I JUST PUT UP HERE, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW ITS TRUE

u guys, overal, the total costs of maps are what, like $25?
is this really a big deal?
the only reason people dont trust bungie is that after halo, they thought so much was going to be halo 2 that when it wasnt there, they blamed bungie!
and if they didnt care about there costomers, why would they do an update every week?
and finally, the bungie people arnt stinkin rich just because their game sold well.
u guys expect to much.
if anyone is greedy, its you

if you buy an x-box, lots of games, play x-box live $6.00 an month, you cant spend $20 on nine awsome maps the bungie people work so hard on?
if its that large of a deal, sell your comp. so everyone can finally get you to shut up.

Well, Bungie should make a extra level where u are stuck in a room with 1,000 grunts, 100 jackals, 50 elites, 25 drones, and 6 hunters. But i can't get live and my internet is fast enough, can't figure out why it won't let me.

Alright. . .Everyone calm down
takea deap breath and think things over

IN my mind cheating is more important than maps
stadbying is completely insane glitching is bad,
Bungie needs to correct these problems before maps, with new maps comes more ways to glitch.
Why hasn't bungie fixed the sword fly glitch?
THs is why. . .
THEY DONT CARE
GO TO GOOGLE
SEARCH "HALO 2 GLITCH"
FIND AND FIX THE GLITCHES.
god knows people know them, and if a company doesn't know them they should get off their asses and FIX them.

A Company is there to make money.
$20 isn't much but it is for what your paying for.
Say there wasn't any free downloads later in the year
Your paying for a 2 cent peice of plastic (dvd)
THe writing equip (which has already been payed for)
ad the ideas.
There are somthing like 10 million copys world wide
if everyone wants a disc, that is $200 000 000 . That is a hell of alot of money. subtract ur costs and that is still alot of money, so just lower the price, or pay MS some money to screw us over again.
