Why can't we get pictures or a short description of the other 5 maps? It's killing me I need more *grumble*! The first four maps look spectacular though, much betrter looking than some of the ones we have now in my opinion.

Dude, we need to help bungie cause they made halo an they need money to continue making halo 3?!



??? At 50$ a pop for Halo 2 and with over 2 Million copies sold 100$ Million isnt sufficient?


um
server cost, maintence, salaries, food, computers, sound, everything they needed to build halo 2. Its not just $1,000,000 of raw money, its taxed and it is all used, Frankie should write a description of everything they have to pay for.

All those people who play Halo 2 and love it would pay for the maps.

Remember waiting for Halo 2, dreaming of how cool it would be to kick a elite off a ghost, dreading on how powerful brutes would be, and how we could ever save earth? And on November 9th we played US$50 (or AU$100) and played and had one of the best times in our sad little lives?

Now the new maps are coming, Bungie has worked hard on these for us, the fans... not for money, not for anything ells (Ok, maybe world domination).

Anybody who complains about the price is stupid.
think about it 9 fantastic maps for only US$20 that’s about US$2 a map! plus you get the extras with the disk.

So go out there and get your self a Halo 2 map disk or what ever they call them, because this is what Bungie has offered us.

If they were in it for the money, Halo would be a shoty game on game cube, and we would be all playing play station 2. So go on, so stop been a pack of galahs and go buy that disk when it comes out.

Oh year, and don't go cutting your self because you have to pay for some thing thats good, just go out and have some fun somewhere, get some new friends... and trick them into buying it for your "birthday" ("wink wink, nuge nuge")

The "meaning" of freedom today is, Doing whatever you want. The true meaning is, Doing what you know is right, and having the freedom to do so.

Hahaha, you beat me. Well, I am fairly pissed off that I have to wait ANOTHER whole month for new content. Wow I really feel like quitting Halo 2 right now. This kind of sucks.
Dude, why's everyone like so obsessed with the new content, I mena we went the whole first halo without any new content, and soem of you guys can't even wait a freakin month to get new content I mena I'm excited about it too, but I'm not obsessed with it, bungie will come out with it when they come out with it, you can't rush them otherwise it won't be as good.

no hang em high was good on h1 but not on h2. imagine walking around with a battle rifle and a sniper rifle the ENTIRE GAME. thats all hang em high would be these days and thats no fun. and people need to read the FULL UPDATE and not just the maps. so many questions that have already been answered! oh yeah, 20 bucks IS NOT THAT MUCH, how hard is it to save up 20 bucks within 60 DAYS! Yes thats right uve got 60 days to come up with 20 dollars, so quit complaining. bungie gave us so much and 9 maps is a lot of hard core gaming. TY BUNGIE

Hang em High was one of the best maps in HALO 1. Especially for roving KotH, it was fantastic. If I acn say anything to Bungie it's a request for Hang em High, even if you can't die by falling anymore, nobody cares. Bring that map back, please!

Masta Brad, you got it right. Halo2 is great just the way it is. The new content looks good and I can't wait to get it. I really wish everyone would SHUT UP about the "Hang 'em High" thing. If you like it that much, then keep playing the LAN and multi-player with your friends at your house. The rest of us are just grateful that new maps are on the way soon. Most of you punks that are whining about bringing maps from Halo to Halo2 probably are still living in your parents house, working at McDonalds and using Oxy pads by the case. NOBODY cares about your whining. Your also probably the ones that will be hurt the most by the bug and glitch fixes (can't win by playing fair). Be grateful for what we are getting or stop playing (yes KevanMan, I mean you). HALO2MC - you are an idiot. You are obviously 12 years old or less, have no grasp on the concept of texture mapping, solid object rendering, 3D surfacing, business management, product deployment or corporate accounting. Here's a quick lesson. For a large publically traded company, (Microsoft bought Bungie Software in 2000), you cannot freely give something away that cost millions of dollars in R & D (that's research and developement for the non puberty types out there). Ol Bill would not be where he is right now if he did that. There are costs involved thus they must be recouped in order to explain spending to the stockholders. Now I hope those too broke to afford 20 bucks will wait til the end of summer to download the maps for free. This means that the rest of us who have been paitently waiting for new content will be well into memorizing these maps so that we can destroy you when you finally get them. hmmmmmmm I could use a Mountain Dew right now.

Man, I'm with you. Why would I want new maps that someone can cheat on. It's ridiculous. Glad the priorities are straight. Make 9 new maps and charge $20 for them or to fix the existing game that people have spent $50 on. Keep your maps. Fix the poor programming.


Hey dipthong, the fixes will be released as a download prior to the first 4 maps being released. Please read the entire news post BEFORE you go off all stupid and post here..........man stupid people tick me off..........where's my freakin' Mountain Dew!

Wow, well, I thought I'd be getting them this month, but oh well. Just need to bide my time till then. *stis in thumb-twiddling chair*

Oh, well. I've been waiting for this for a long time, what's another month? It's a real shame Hang 'em High got the axe, though. It's just such a good king of the hill map! Brings a tear to my eye. FRANKIE, WHAT DID IT EVER DO TO YOU?!?!?!

Oh, well. I guess they know what they're doing, albeit begrudgingly, I'll just hope the new maps make me forget about the whole Hang 'em High thing. I'm pretty sure it will, and I'm already setting up a Halo fund for all the upcoming downloads.

You know, 10 bucks out of each Mcdonalds check so I can go home and tell my mom all about how I'm gonna find new ways to cheat on the new maps. Moron.

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!


xSIV3Lx - you are as stupid as the rest of the idiots who can't read and decided to post here to show it. The bug fixes are addressed in the article. If you can't find it, send me a message and I will send you a screen print of it circled in a bright, distinct color so that you can find it easily (or you can just check my previous post to get the answer).

Here's something Bungie can work on - keep the ignorant among us from posting here. DO THE DEW!

If you don;t want to pay for the maps, just wait till late summer. I dont see why anyone would have a problem paying so little for maps though. The first two are only about 3 bucks each.

For the love of GOD people READ THE NEWS RELEASE CAREFULLY. The glitches and bugs are going to be released for download BEFORE the first 4 maps are released. You know what, I give up........there are too many stupid people out there to flame them all. No more talk about bugs, glitches, the cost of the new maps.....NOTHING! Your all BANNED (except for all of you who agree with me)! The rest of you please trade your XBOX for a PS2 or something. Dew you understand.
