OMG people calm down about the price. Really the price isent bad at all. For one look at all the maps you get AND dont forget all the problems that are getting fixed. Either your young enough to cry to mom and dad for money or your old enough to buy it yourself. Pick one. Even better. If your a true fan then you most likely go to LAN parties. Just have everyone pull together a few bucks and buy a disk. Think before you jump on the boards and get all negative about things cuz most of the time its no where near as bad as you think.

I said this earlier, page 29 i think, but it definitely seems to need repeating.

I'm really sick of this -blam!-ing about the money thing. Please, just stfu. I was prepared to pay 50 for the maps. Like someone else said, Bungie has no obligation to us. They could have just as easily said f--- off to all of us but instead they give us 9 new maps. I beg of you, don't buy them if you're pissed that you have to pay.Odds are the people that don't want to pay are the same -blam!-s I play against in matchmaking, just f---ing die already.

After all it's those "Evil Corporations" hoarding our money like that. The ass hats. Offering products we don't even need but buy anyway, and then -blam!- about how they're trying to control us. -blam!-s, every single one at bungie are evil bastards because they make us pay for something that they spent the last 5 months laboring over. It's like they were creating new products or something. /sarcasm

You know the real Irony here is that all these people that "Hate Bungie" so much continue to post on their forums and play all of their games, like it's their fault or something. So as i've said before, if you don't want to pay, just wait, and play the maps in late summer, where you'll be pwned by everyone.

to all the people that don't want to pay, once again, f--k off

Gee wizz i wonder why half life 2 forums have barely any negative feedback gee wizz. Maybe this is like the rise and fall
of nintendo! Nes is to halo1 as Gamecube is to Halo 2.

by the way 20 dollars is reasonable...but its no deal
they knew enlight of cheatin and bugs the most they could get away with price wise was 20 bucks. My greatest hope is that these maps create a balance with the newb maps already there... hopefully aiming will be more crucial part of the new maps instead of weapon spawning, and player spawning.
these things you think would be obvious... so we shall see if they respect us or not... if they dont .... i will dedicate my life to boycotting the next halo game and boycott microsoft as well. So think of it this way... youll lose money unless you respect the gamers and pro gamers alike.

I'm really over all you people complaining about paying for new maps. You keep saying how we "deserve" the map, but what do we deserve the maps for? For being whiney !!!!!!!. Just stop. Stop. No more. Dont pay for them if you dont want them. I'm tired of your ignorance and stupidity. Go away, come back another day,

Yeah So I am new here, I probably will never post again, but I was reading about all the new content that I saw this morning before I went to work and I wanted to see more on the bungie site. So then I come to the boards realizing that they are not remaking Hang 'em High and wanted to post about that and a few other things. But before I do that I just wanted to advise that the guys/girls that reply to tell people to stop their complaining and start calling them idiots are the idiots. Do you really think that those people aren't going to become offended? Or do you think they won't stop complaining or that they really care what you say? lol. Obviously not cause I still see them doing it.

Anyways, I totally agree with a lot of what everyone is saying and complaining about. I mean generally I don't have to pay for the Steam Network to play Half Life 2, and Counter Strike, and all the updates and fixes for those games. Because they made the game i can't fix it myself I don't have control over people hacking the game, so why should I pay for it. I mean yeah I understand that it costs money to make maps and stuff like that and there is no Mod communtiy for Halo 2, but I think the game made 125 million dollars on either its first week or first day of launch........yeah.

So now when there are tons of bugs that defently defently should of not of been in there like plasma grenades going through the chest of the guy I am throwing it on too, or I don't know if this is a bug or not but the Shotgun not being able to do like any damage from more than 4 ft, is a little ridiuclous, or when I shoot the guy in the face with a shotgun point blank it barely damages the shield and I end up dying. Of course we need to pay 20 dollars for that!

I mean 9 maps sure thats a good amount of maps to release and I know it costs money to make them but when I freaking read that they weren't putting Hang'em High in because THEY didn't think it was FUN. OH ok yeah I would rather have Hang'em High than Waterworks anyday of the week. Hang'em High is awesome, I don't want to go back to Halo Combat Evolved to play it because I can't go online with it like I can with Halo 2, I don't want to lag over Gamespy to try and play Hang'em High with other players or go on a system link or split screen I want to do it on Halo 2 online.

I don't get what would not be fun about it? You have the sniper rifles in it like normal, you have the rocket launcher, the battle rifle makes up for the pistol, and the shotgun is in there, and one or 2 other guns. So how would it not be fun, make it the same layout, oh I know why....It wouldn't fit in to the Theme OF HALO 2! Cause that's all the maps are....they want to make a theme of Halo 2 stuff to add more MYSTERY lol. Like Zanzabar (which is an awesome map by the way) There's secret stuff with it but you have to some how figure it out yourself. Or just like Buriral Mounds, that giant spaceship or artifact that is there, and then they also put a face in the wall and then there is a hand like rock formation by the Beam Rifle. If you get on top of the level it makes more sense.

There's nothing to tie Hang'em High into, I mean Blood Gulch (Coagulation) there isn't much either they kind of just created that level just to play on, but pretty much most of the other levels have a theme to them. Foundation is basically just Derelict, just fun maps from the first one. "Warlock" basically they could actually turn into something like the ancient ruins level you go through with the tank in Halo 2.

Basically I think Bungie lost track of what the gamers found fun and not fun and have attempted to make Halo 2 more of an epic than an action based game.

Like seriously what I am trying to say basically is that Halo 2 is overrated, I love playing it it is very addicting but I get annoyed with it very easy, I like the cool things you can do in it now like board vehicles and other things, but what I hate is that they hyped up the game with these new features that just get canceled out by other new features.

If You want to know what I mean or have a clue then just contact my AIM or something and we can talk, but it just is really funny, I love this game cause it takes skill at a lot of the stuff even with a lot of the glitches and I think I am an above average player.

Anyways sorry for the long post I didn't feel like sleeping. Yes I was just adding on to all of the other "complainers" but with logic. I mean the real premise is that no matter what almost everyone will pay for the content because we are addicted and want it now. And Microsoft and Bungie know that.

I am much more reasonable than this when its not 2:30 in the morning, but I worked late lol.

Gamertag: Rididel

I would be higher a higher level If I cared enough to play with people on my level. But I play with friends who aren't :-p. Plus a number means jack in Halo half the time they are cheater standbyers.

How can you compare Half-Life 2 with Halo 2 when the cheapest you could get Half-Life 2 was 60 bucks when it first came out? Halo 2 cost us only 50 and didn't REQUIRE internet to play. How about we take that 10 extra bucks and put it toward a few new maps and I think we are about even. Half-Life is an amazing game, but even it bows before the multiplayer feet of Halo 2.

Yes they have no obligation to us, but they wouldn't exist if it wasn't for us so technically they are obligated otherwise people would get really mad and stop playing.

Yeah that is Irony, but we as customers and gamers we are supposed to have fun, and we can't have fun when you get cheated, it just becomes annoying and espcially when they laugh at you and there is nothing you can do about it, the person gets banned they make a new account and just keep doing it. Also who cares if you get pwned by everyone you sound so dumb saying that no offense, but seriously you sound like those guys when they beat another player, your the guy who says you suck and need to stop playing your the person who makes people not want to play this game. Your no better than a cheater than cause in the end whether you win fair or unfair you still make fun of the other person no matter what.

[quote]to all the people that don't want to pay, once again, f--k off


Also Bungie doesn't exactly tell people to do that, they actually try to encourage people to buy their product not discourage, I am still going to by the disc incase my xbox goes out sometime soon so I can just update that stuff automatically. So basically your a person who discourages the discouragers? How Ironic is that, your helping to our cause of boycotting. lol. jk.

Also I am going to repeat myself again, people that tell other people they are pwned or tell other people I am going to quote you on this cause I don't say horrible words like this "f--k off" are no better than cheaters, your the people that make other players not want to play this game.

Have a nice Easter guys play lots of Halo until your Eyes Blow up or you start bleeding from the ears because your stereo is too loud. For those of you that Believe in God and Jesus Christ trust in him everyday and every hardship and he always gives what you need even if you don't see it at first.

No offense to anyone who doesn't and no offense to you cashin. Maybe ill see you on Halo 2 sometime.

I actually liked Half Life 2 better than Halo 2. You can actually compare the 2 because they are both action games, only Half Life 2 is superior in Graphics and physics, only cause a computer is a superior system obviously, and a few other things. While the multiplayer part of Halo 2 is awesome for it there is almost no way to prevent cheating unlike Half Life 2. But then again you can't have 4 player Half Life 2 on one computer you have to go online to play it and the single game which yes I think is dumb, but on the other hand I can play with more than just 16 people, I can play with 32 but its all death match type stuff, but then I can play other mods so they all have their differences. For 60 bucks I actually got more than Half life 2 actually yeah I paid 60 bucks for it and I got about 6 more more games. So I think I got a great deal. :)

Oh yeah I also didn't have to pay for the bug fixes or the new awesome maps they have and are releasing for the game. Maps they made for Counter Strike. Also fixes to the graphics engine they made and the tool kit for making mod games that they just freely gave to the community. And I doubt its cause its on a computer.

Some People Stood in line at stores for this game and spent there hard earn money for a game that the campaign mode sucked. Why pay for extra content that might suck as well. Online is all right but gets pretty boring pretty quick. Some games don't charge for extra content such as ghost recon 2. It hasn't been out as long and you get more downloads already. Which didn't cost a cent. Plus the online is alot better. And I'm sure it takes time and money to make but why don't must Tom Clancey games charge. So I paid 74 bucks for the game plus another 20 some. It's going to cost me almost 100 bucks for a game that"s not what i expected
