(this is my first thread, and i thot this thread was important to talk about so my mistake if i screwed up)

So you guys are pissed that you have to pay $20.00 lol. I bet most of u guys can afford it 2 and just to damn cheap to buy it. Instead you'll going to use a $50.00 game as a coaster. So instead of "wasting" the $20 on the maps (Which thank every god up there that bungie was made Halo and its funking awsome maps) you'll going to waste $50 on a coaster lol

And i havn't even graduated Highschool LOL.

No wonder im getting my rank up so fast. Well You guys play your RS3, DOA, and every other game (and start complaing about buying maps over there) Leave the good ppl to play Halo & Halo2

Yes i get pissed when i stand by, but then i think of of when i kick there -blam!- @$$3$ when it gets fixed and i feel all better. I also hear that all stats are going to be reset on March 31st? Is it true

ANd thank you very much Bungie for the new maps, i was hoping for 3 and got triple that. I bow before you.

It kinda sucks their takng out the sword glitch I think it was, the only time Ive ever used it was when me and my freinds were playing hide n seek.Its basiclly odd ball, everyone has camo except the oddball who you have to stay alive from until time is up for stupid people. But if people use it to cheat or to get on top of levels then i'm willing to let them take it off. I dont even know how I did it, I just hit randomly y bx triggers because the guy that was it didnt find us for five minutes and it gets borning just sitting their so I started to act like I was going to kill him and I flew over the turret he was hiding behind, the thing that sucks is that I landed right in front of the guy that was it

I'm not sure if more information about the AutoUpdate is going to be released in the near future, but I guess I'll ask a couple questions that I have. First, does anyone think that plasma pistols are going to be less available on the maps or not as powerful? I think 1/2 or 3/4 damage take is ideal for plas pistols, they're just too cheap when used with the battle rifle...takes no skill. Also, are things like last second fires from say, the shotgun, sword, and rocket going to be fixed? You fire at the same time or even last second right as you die but nothing happens, not even a wounded enemy. How about the last grenade throw right before you die? Blows up but doesn't hurt anyone sometimes? These are not lag issues by the way, and I'd love to see them fixed. But, I guess what I really didn't see was...what is going to be done about Standby? I didn't even see it mentioned in the Update, all I saw was "cheating" which is SUCH a broad topic.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm excited as all get out about the fixes and new maps, I just thought there was going to be some more detail about what is going to be fixed...I guess I'll wait and see when future Updates come out...I'm looking forward to it. New maps look awesome!!! Finally a Scorpion Tank.....(hope there are Rockets on the map!)

All I can say to people who whine and say, "WAHH WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MAPS!!!" is...when you are in/own a bussines (and I'm not sure whether you're ever going to seeing as how ill-educated you are about the subject) would you like to, say, see a patient and give them treatment, get paid, but 5 months later have them come in and say, "Hey, I know you never needed to give me more treatment, but now you're offering a special kind! Give it to me for free!" Hmm...I don't think that would go well...and why?

You want, no, you NEED to get paid for your time, effort, and materials, because if you didn't get paid, you wouldn't have money! Oh, yeah, Bungie's rich right...well do you think if they just kept giving stuff away for free because they're rich, they would still be in business a couple years down the road? Or be able to keep the great employees they have now to make and tweak their games? Or have the money to make a BETTER Halo 3?

I'm sorry, but you pre-pubescent babies really anger me when you talk about free goods. $20.00 is nothing for what they're giving you, so deal with it, and stop crying. I'm sure most of your mommies and daddies are paying for the maps anyway! So cry to them, and not Bungie.

Enough said.

I cant wait for the maps. I hope that they are much more balanced than the other maps. Also, I hope there isn't as much NOOB COMBO as Collosus

People the maps are going to be slowly added to the macthmaking and not until they are free so don't worry about your macthmaking be effected until late summer until then there will be two playlists one for people who have the new maps and thoses who don't.
If you are worried that you won't be able to get the maps because your so poor that $20 will stop you from eating find someone who has the disk and get the maps then give it back...... DUH!!!! so DON"T worry be happy :D

Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about. Some of the textures and backgrounds are used from campaign, but the real content is NOT copied/pasted. Why do people feel the need to whine and criticize bungie, when this is quite possibly one of the best games ever made?
Posted by: HAL02MC
WOW all of the maps are copied from campaign. It took them THAT LONG TO COPY AND PASTE. (And no Hang em' High...) Very poor.
