i think we finally drowned out the whiners! just maybe JUST MAYBE we can get a break from the constant im not paying for this bla bla i cant afford bla bla i deserve bla bla..... lets all rejoice and be thankful for bungies extra time in making 9 new maps that nobody should have expected! how can the stupid whiners be complaining about 9 maps?! i was expecting 4 MAX.. nyn a vid tour would be nice but... i like a good suprise better then to waste it by seeing the maps early. Besides containment is the best :p along with turf.

I have to agree that paying for the maps is a bit absurd. We've already paid for the console, the game, for Live service, and for the headset. Now you're asking us to pay for even more. But I guess this is what we've come to expect in this must have society.

Be kind, rewind.

Man......Why did they have to remake that one map they now call "Warlock" I hated that map when it was on Halo1(Ithink it was called castle or something like that) and I still hate it now that it has been remade. Now matter what you call it, it will allways suck...comon Bungie, listen to your fans. The others are cool.....I hope they were worth the wait though.

xSIV3Lx - Why are you still posting. You idiot. They addressed the reason why all maps could not be made available and why they were having to charge for the maps for those who wanted them right away. Here let me break it down for you hypothetically:
lets say they released the maps only on CD.
25 cents for the disc
50 cents for pressing (this is being generous the real number is probably a lot higher)
10 cents for distribution
and there is also a cost to put the data together but there's no way I can estimate that.
So now lets see........200,000 discs initially to make sure that everyone everywhere can get their hands on a disc.
25+50+10=85 cents
.85 * 200,000 = $170,000.00 to release all maps on disc
now take into consideration how many programmers, graphic artists, managers and what not that Bungie has to pay salaries for as well as the server deployment and bandwidth that they are incurring to make the maps downloadable. Do you think they would throw away the salaries plus the discs so that you could find something else to complain about. GET BENT DUDE. I think they are being very generous in providing two initially for free and the rest for $20 or all for free at the end of summer. Oh, and I work for a living, pay a mortgage, car, insurance and daycare and I don't have a problem sparing the $20. Now shut up before I am forced to beat you profusely with a wet noodle til the puss that you call a brain oozes from your ears! [color=green]Do the Dew![/color]


Ok PHAG 170K couldnt have come from the 100$ Mill (MILLION) / (100,000,000.00) halo 2 Discs sold?

Now whos an idiot? Dude you nor anyone else in here has a valid argument over what im saying and youre just a bunch of fanboys trying to get some of these Bungie guys to say thanks when they wont even try and dispute anything I have to say?

Go to bed son youre too young to understand any of the reasoning behind what people are feeling.

I personally would rather Bungie came out and said we have 2 new maps free.

and in maybe 3 months or so well have 2 more etc....

Rather they say WE HAVE 9 NEW MAPS that we would like to be stingy enough to make you pay for if you want them all right away?

Thats microsoft for you! Thats why I own a Mac.

I dont really blame bungie I blame M$ more, because you see this is the sole reason why EA did not want to go make games for XBLive because M$ tries to put too many restrictions on user content and what they have to and don't have to pay for.

I used to hate EA for not going XBL but know I know why.

-blam!- like this.

Anyway $100,000,000.00 of sold Halo 2 disc's VS $170,000.00 worht of extra content? Think about it whats the point for the pocket change to them?

Anyway if you want to personally attack me then do so, but until you know all the facts let people have thier own opinion!

I can't remember the last time I was this giddy over new game info. Those screenshots are beautiful! I'll gladly pay for the maps...you guys worked hard on them.
The Sidewinder-esque level made me feel good--that was my favorite map from Halo 1. I can definitely see myself spending hours on end just exploring every little detail of it--mainly to see how much of the environment is destructible.
Those who complain about paying for some of the content that Bungie worked their asses off to create need to take a step back and realize just how much is being given to them. Bungie didn't have to be this generous to anyone. They didn't have to continuously involve themselves in the XBOX Live community, listening to feedback and striving to improve our overall experience online. But they did. And how much does it cost? A lously 20 dollar bill. Please. That's worth mowing one lawn.

This is bull crap you put in a sh***ty level like blood gulch and are planning on putting in wizard but not hang em high? why let us decide if it's fun or not, not some chump ass test team! Hang Em High was the best level for multiplayer in halo 1

I dont think paying for it is a HUGE deal and I am glad to do it. The problem I have is that BUNGIE.NET used this "downloadable" content as a selling point for the game. I do think a lot of copies of H2 would have been sold, but maybe not as many if the consumers were informed BEFORE buying that this "content", including the fixing of the game, would come at a price...not to mention that there are more priced content updates comming. Unlike PS2 the huge fanbase PAYS to play already and waited much longer than previously anticipated to get the content. Again, I understand that things cost money, but I would imagine that people thought that these costs were included in either the cost of the game, the cost of live, or maybe both. MUCH of the marketing for the game centered around the ONLINE capabilities. We just weren't informed we'd be getting stung with these charges. This is why people are upset...up front, it seems a little shady.

Halo02MC your very rude i dont see why they alow you to be on these forums. I am dying to play these maps and I am willing to pay the $20.00 I think its well worth it for a job well done. People put alot of work into it I am sure of it and that I will not be dissapointed. I am also hoping that they will fix the stand by stuff. for now it's ok I catch stand byers on video capture cam I just need to convert the file to media player so I can show these files. :P

Ok everyone is stupid on these forums. Why? you make ask, is because all it is is repetetive comebacks and answers and posts. Gosh get the picture here, more people are complaining about this deal than there are people that actually don't care. I am neutral. But seriously Shut up, just do a new topic or something cause seriously its the same posts of shut up stop complaining, what are we accomplishing here? The 51 pages of this topic are all the same repetative posts. Like BERADUX said you are fighting a losing battle right now, wait till the maps and stuff are released, Bungie has won the battle all these freaks on here have already bought the disc because they know they want to have more Halo 2 stuff.

Wow why did I waste my time on here lol. Forums never change, full of jerks, "know it alls", cocky people, repetative people who post the same way as the last person just phrased differently to give their input with the same opinion. Retarded.
