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.

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.
