For all those crap holes I see complaining on here and for future complainers, I just want to let you know you are f'n retarded. I know Bungie won't say it to you but I sure as hell will. So you are f'n retarded. An autoupdate. 9 NEW Maps. 2 of which are free to us live users before folks without live even play it. All maps will be FREE any damn way by the end of summer! 19.99 if you don't want to wait, thats a steal as far as I am concerned. All this less than 6 months after release! Try feeding your face for a week with 20 dollars, try filling up your tank with 20 dollars, try paying for your electric bill for 20 dollars. What? What? Oh wait thats right you don't pay for any of that. Why? Because mommy and daddy pay for it all and you are used to having everything handed to you.You ungratefull pieces of -blam!-! These poeple worked years to get the game to us, then after its release KEPT WORKING to give you 9 new maps! PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES! So my point is thanks again Bungie for all your hard work and you complainers are f'n retarded.

I'm excited, my only concern is that bungie is going to release 9 maps and then put Halo 2 content up on the shelf, Whats wrong with creating a team to continuoslly release new maps. Rather than just 1 major release. Other wise you should have just put "A downladable content" Pisses me off.

And to the people that are B*tching about paying your stupidity pales in comparison to your knowledge to simple economics and capatalism in general. Please, I beg of you, if you don't want to pay, don't. I'll have 9 new maps, and you'll have Burial Mounds.

First of all, thanks for the update and information.

I do have a couple of questions though.
1.) I have 2 xobxes for hosting LANs, and 2 copies of Halo2. Will I have to pay to DL the premium maps twice (one per xobx) or will my XBL account be flagged as paying for them?

2.) Should I decide to purchace the disc upon release, will it install the updates for both xboxes, or do I need to purchace 2 discs (agian, one for each xbox)?

Thanks agian for the update.

this is worthless news! The map news is awesome and I am stoked. Good idea with the staggered stuff. The only problem I have is with the patch, I was under the impression it would be coming out today or really SOON why the -blam!- do we have to what until late april, I can't even play matchmaking without getting cheatd it is pure bull-blam!-


You have to wait because we're testing the patch. It contains lots of substantial changes that require lots of testing. It would really suck if we patched and things got worse, wouldn't it?

I AGREE!!!!!!!

  • 03.25.2005 11:26 AM PDT

True, but are you guys going to change the weapon respawn at all? It would make this game so much better if I didn't have to put up with 2 snipers or one rocket whore owning one team (whether it's mine or theirs) and holding on to the weapon so no one else can get them. This would solve a huge issue I have with Halo 2 multiplayer. It's especially bad when someone on your team gets a power weapon but is horrible with it and basically gives it to them. The game might as well be over. PLEASE keep respawning weapons (except the sword) like in Halo!

So it is now offical, over half a year before Bungie will manage to do anything to stop cheating in Halo2. That is what I call dedication. I think they should have to play against cheaters in their humpday chalenges, maybe that would get them on the ball a little quicker.

As for the new maps, they sound/look very nice.

That sucks that we have to wait until June 28th to get the new maps. Do the people that don't have Xbox live get the two free maps and if so, how do we get them?

I couldn't agree more

By the way Bungie, how much will the maps cost for people who DO have Live?

Okay, let me get this straight. The "premium" maps won't be included in the standard playlists, because obviously not everyone is going to be willing to pay for them and it would just cause problems if they were.

A new Custom Game Search is not being included, so the truth is I probably won't get nearly as much a chance to play on the new "Premium" maps on Xbox Live, will I?

Again, I'm dissapointed in how this has been done, waiting until late June for a $20 expansion pack is dissapointing, and the fact that we only get 2 more additional maps for free right away does hurt a little bit.

I'll wait and get them all when they are free thank you very much. It's not like they will be in the regular playlists until then anyhow.

And why would I want to watch another documentary where everyone compains about how they f'd up and "If we only had more time".., I would throw that expansion disc right out the window the first time I heard that again.
