for all you people who are complaining about paying for maps drink a cold glass of SUCK IT UP! im poor and it will take me 2 weeks before my next job is in. and then i will still hold the money until the disc comes out. i cant wait for the new maps and i think turf and contaiment look awsome and they will be the best thing to happen to x box sence november 9th if you know what i mean. and if you want new weapons and vehicals the reason they dont have them is because it will of set the rest of the weapons and vehicals. do the dew becaus the dew is gooood

Honestly who really cares about the new maps. Sure they'll
be fun for custom games and LANs but I don't really care
about being able to play new maps when I can't even play the
original ones thanks to standbyers. It really makes no sense
to spend any time at all on new maps when so many
legitimate gamers are ridiculously frustrated with standby,
glitches, and flat out nubish programming errors in Halo 2.
And then they have the audacity to charge for 2 of the 4 new maps
saying that "it takes development time to money to produce the maps
so we have to charge." Well Bungie I think you guys should suck
my balls. Why don't you spend that "development time and labor cost"
on fixing some of the games more horrendous errors, Standby anyone?
And they keep feeding us all this crap about testing and blah blah blah
Halo 2 was in production for more than 3 years(i guess) and you're telling
me that at no point during that time did your "thorough testing process"
uncover the Red always wins glitch. That is just plain embarrasing, thats
a high school code error. I mean Halo 2 is a great game, even when compared to its predecessor which everyone seems to still choose over
Halo 2. The fact of the matter is simple, Halo 2 is a more strategic game than was Halo 1. In Halo 1 you started with the pistol which was capable of dispatching a good number of MC's in quick succession, which made the game more focused on making shots than actual strategic techniques. Halo 2 by far outranks the original tactically by focusing more on strategic elements, like precise consistency of grenades to control enemy movement and radar baiting. In Halo 2 you can't just jump out into the middle of a firefight and expect to last too long, i mean realistically who would do that anyway. In Halo 1 this was many times a viable option since you could more than make due with that hand cannon called the Pistol.
I just hope that Bungie redeems itself very soon before customer morale
plummets completely and they lose all their credibility. STOP BEING
SLOPPY.

u know what i think would be a good, small addition to halo 2 stats?

what if you would tally the grenade kills, not just for sticking someone with a plasma, but for blowing them up with a frag grenade?

and then get a medal like all the rest at the end of the game....

back me up on this guys!

Hey um this may not quite go along with the new maps and stuff but I was kinda curious if bungie might make it so how many times we've gotten a certain medal is kept track on like through live and stuff I just think it would be cool so you and everyone else knows that you've gotten that medal so many times in optimatch.


yeah that would be cool, and what if when you check your games under your stats tht it told you how much EXP you gained/lossed in that game. That would also be cool

Simple in fact.

Am I crying or telling the absolute?

I'm going to go home and dog on someone who I've never met before. If that doesn't make me a winner, I don't know what will.

showing how many of each type of medal is a good idea. I also think it should show how many of each type of alien you killed in campaign.
