(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.

all should be free because of all the stand by crappppppp. also ..the small glitches . like when you score on assualt and then they put the bomb on a spot where you cant get it . or when you have a sniper and a rocket and then your scree goes blue , next thing you know your with an smag . i think the maps should be free. i can afford them but after all that torment with the stand by . by the way . if you guys want to play halo2 just hollaw . i mean just tell me . xblivegamertag:meneques2 .level 19 in teamslayer and rumble pit, 13 on head to head , 13 on minor clan , 9 on big team and major clan , 14 on team skirmish .


meneques2 - you are truely and idiot. Please take your XBOX and trade it for a PS2 without delay! I guess you think since everybody can write new viruses and hacks for Win XP that Microsoft should just give that away for free too (for pain and suffering, right)! What a moron. Dude, do everyone a favor and show that you are smart enough not to post here anymore.

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.


Dude, can you ramble anymore. I mean, the twenty minutes that it took me to sludge through you post was not enough for me. I need more. I'll tell you what, if you like Counter Strike so much better and feel they are treating you better, then sell your Halo2 to someone that will appreciate it for what it is. Bungie owes you NOTHING. You see this is a perfect example of today's society. Everything has been spoon fed to you so you just expect it. Instead of being thankful for what you have, you want to complain about what you don't have. Selfish, very selfish. Oh, BTW put the shotgun in the chest not the face.

Subject: GREAT NEWS- NEW QUESTION?

Never Trust Robots

Thanks for the update, its great to see things are coming along
.......
NOW, that is out of the way.........

WILL STATS BE RESET!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!

Obviously the folk that are ranked high on the boards and that cheated to get there will remain there if the stats aren't reset.
(Why play after cheat fixes would be the view- after all the cheaters just want the 'high level' stamp, so former cheaters wouldnt waste time playing match any more for fear of losing the 'high level stamp' - this also means that the actual ranks on the leader boards would be littered with players that would be difficult to surpass)

Now.. if ya dont want to say for fear of a revolt thats fine and understandable, but PLEASE reset them

BTW - Master Chief vs Godzilla? what would that be like?

Frankie made a point of stating that on the disc there may be a few surprises...do you think that the disc will be more expensive than what they will cost as a download...in other words will 7 maps on the disc cost more than the 7 maps as a paid download?

Are we going to have to pre-order the expansion disc? Considering that the release of Halo 2 was the most anticipated release of a video game ever...wouldnt it make sense if the same people want the maps?

SallJR and Icey Fish, you need not tell us that you have yet to complete high school. You're spelling, CAPS lock fetish, and grammar are tell tale.

Anyways, the maps don't cost much. Quit your whining. Think of the labor that goes into making new maps. And the time, and resources, and personell. You snot nosed, acne faced, bratty high school students should rethink your tactics of criticizing the work and operations of professionals, who have at least finished high school. I am tired of it. Try talking about something intelligent for once.
