Seriously whats with people saying that other peoples parents pay for everything! I have a job and I pay for my own stuff. I'll gladly pay $20 for some halo 2 maps. Some people have a major problem if they are so greedy they cant pay $20. The money pays for Bungie employees and for making halo 2 better so stop complaining!

How can you associate a video game to a great boxing match or a great UFC PPV fight?


LMAO thats like saying youre going to be mad because you have to pay 30$ to watch Muhammed Ali vs Frazer?

VS

LMAO youre paying 20$ to play on a 1$ map that will be free later on anyway, but later on anyway the Xbox 360 will come out along with Halo 2.5 in which you will have wasted 20$ + 300$ + another 50$ for Live to continue so you roughly are spending 360$ almost 400$ for the next gen Xbox.

Lets see

Say 2 Million people decide to buy the Next Xbox

Thats 400$ roughly

thats $800,000,000.00

So now lets take the 20$ x 2Million who would want it all right away so thats

40,000,000$

SO $840,000,000.00 for what is supposed to be the best game that has many flaws and cheats and glitches.

Going where? Not to our soldiers not to our public schools and not into fixing and or making the game the way people loved Halo 1 for.

Hmmm theres a whole lot to think about before you start calling people cheap.

Man you keep on surprising me with how dumb you are. The whole point of what I said is you PAY FOR WHAT YOU WANT. Maybe you can understand that. It doesn't matter wtf it is. If you want something you pay for it. I can't even believe you broke down the numbers like that. I mean break it down for Wrestling and Fighting events. The money they make off that is wayyy more than bungie will ever make off this game. You think it's different , but it's not. It's all entertainment you dumbass. I guess you can't comprehend that though. When people go out to bars and pay a lot more for alcohol you don't see them sitting around the bar -blam!-ing about it. It's just the price of entertainment. It's all the same no matter what you're doing. No matter what it all costs money. If it wasn't for Mountain Dew you cheap asses would probably never have your free maps lol. You better go buy some MD to thank them.

If you guys dont want to buy the new maps then u dont have to, and you can get them later this summer for free anyways. Please stop complaining about $20 and how much money Bungie will make from it. Just shut up and pay the 20 and if you dont want to, then I guess you'll have to wait!

I actually feel bad for those of you who don't see the broader scope to what I am trying to tell you.

For those who do understand KUDOS to you.

All I know is that 840Million can be used for alot of other things in the world.

Only 40$Mill is needed to make us happy in the Halo arena.

Along with the original Halo programmers and maybe you have to go back and think about why so many people including Alex V quit working for Bungie after Halo and the M$ takeover.


Somebody was out to make a quick buck and is still trying!

Its just sad so thats why Master Chief = the Jesus of video gaming.

lol. You have a lot to learn there kiddo. Money makes the world go around. While we're playing all the new maps you'll still be sitting at home playing you're two free maps until the end of the summer. You know how Bungie is with release dates though. That might be like December or something like that. But you'll save a whole $20. I mean imagine what you can do with that $20. All the fast food you can buy. Not like $20 is going to buy anything significant.

The point is people do want it!
People do love Halo!
Why should we have to wait?
If theres already a fix for the cheats why cant it be availbale now?
What is the point of witholding info?
OK theres 9 new maps whoop -tee -doo.

When will the hard earned money we worked so hard for show in the game we all love?

Thats my big question.

Hate me all you guys want I never attacked you.

I know u r going 2 bring the new playlist but has bungie thought about using MLG rules in matchmaking now starting with a Battle Rifle instead of SMG. Many of the gamers only play MLG now and it would make the matchmaking experience better.

Heres a great question!

I have 4 accounts of Live on my Xbox

Will I have to buy a cd for each account, because you will make it so that each cd has a unique ID?

Or will it be for the XBOX itself in which each account has all maps?

lol who cares. That's just the business world. It's all about making money. If you're not out to make money, then how do you plan on going some where in life? It takes money to go from point A to point B.

If the answer is a cd for each account I will hold a PUBLIC AUCTION on Ebay WITH ALL 4 ACCOUNTS left on my XBOX for everyone and thier mother to bid on.

Then I will use the money won to go on G4 TV to Burn 3 items on national broadcast

1) An XBOX

2) How ever many copies of (Halo 2) / Halo is still innocent / that I can buy with the money left over.

3) A Microsoft flag and a Bungie flag in which I will never support you or your games again.

The way I understand the update was you would be able to load it on your machine, and it shouldn't matter your gamertag.

Now on to brighter talks of this stuff..

These maps do indeed look great, I just hope they change the amount of vehicles they have and the starting weapons.

I just have this bad feeling containment wont have enough vehicles and weapons to constitute fun 16 player games

Thats the problem we have on Coag right now!

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 will definitely bump this

>"Spartans don't die, they go to hell and regroup"

And just so you know Bungie, I will win this battle in the long run, you may have won the battle, but I will win the war, I always win the war.

> this is the fluidly known diesel glitchmaster speakin, lol, and i must say, these new maps look awsome, and i'll be goin where i'm not supposed to on em very soon, new challenges, but the one new city lever thas similar to outskirts should be the best, cuz i mean, wow, it's awsome, beautiful, i may just cry. but for a man who loves his sniper rifle, this map (if open enough) can be one of the (if not the most) funnest map ever, it may even surpass headlong, which is by far a dictator. o, and i gotta let everyone know about the glitch finders, we're gettin low in numbers on the clan cuz we're kickin inactive members, so we have spots opening, and it's a co-overlord clan between myself and oogaboogaman (another well know glitcher and modder), so my gamertag if not showin already is D i e s e l 369. message me sayin ur a clan prospect and ur in, no waitin for tryouts, ur a member to start, peon if u become a nussance, and a staff if u show team qualities and fluidly know most glitches, thanks, later.

finally siv has given into our speeches. now we can all rest in peace and just look forward to spending 18 dollars (if u buy by live) or 20 for a disk+tax.

2.50 per map= limitless hrs of FUN PLAYING XBL OR LAN PARTYS. I cant wait and im spending my own money once again to buy the first 2 premiums and on june 28th ill go ahead and buy a disk, i just spent 150 on a dvd recorder and i only have a summer job. anyone can afford the disk, and im glad everyone has gotten it into their heads that they can save up 37 Cents a Day to pay for this.
