You guys at Bungie rock! You guys worked you buts off and made pretty much the greatest game live has ever seen. I can't wait for those new maps to come out they look SICK!!! You guys really did a good job. I like the fact you all are cracking down on the cheating and such. It will be the fun back into the game. Keep up the good work

I just read the weekly what's update, and one of the maps looked like one that was going to be released in Halo2 originally. What i was wondering was what on the heck happened to the ATV that you were going to add as a vehichle?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Will you release it in one of the new maps? I hope so..... PLEASE TELL ME THAT IT WILL BE RELEASED!!!! And if not, just try to throw in a few new weapons to some of these new maps if you guys have time....

I can't wait to play the new maps! Thanks Bungie! I do have one question though? Why as of recently have I been getting booted out of games in match making? Keeps saying network problems and I know I have none. I have gone down 2 levels on Team Skirmish because of this. It really stinks, because it take so long to get back up their. Lastly I have been a level 10 for quite sometime now in Rumble pit, but everyone always see's me as a level 9 when they go online. Just wondering why that is? Lastly has Bungie ever considered making the opposing team mute when playing so all you can hear is your team. I think this would help out a lot with the violence I so often hear that makes the game very un fun at times.

Thanks for you time!

What I don't understand is why we should have to pay for new maps. I think it sounds really dumb when we already pay $50 buck a year, plus and additional $50 for the game itself. Then we are lied to for weeks about the information...and don't whine..bungie did lie. I think that Xbox Live users should recieve the downloads free because firstly we pay out $50 bucks a year for the service anyway...which no offense but sounds retarded when you have to pay for new maps, and the service. Also we bought the game....im not sure but i dont know how tight you are for cash but I don't think those levels and updates costs millions of dollars. I give no sympathy to the fact that ppl are going to make copies of the download disks because honestly i think being charged for it is just insane in the first place, and I most likely will not end up paying for my copy. Another thing I wanted to mention was what is with ppl and not wanting to buy 2 disks? Just buy 1 and load it on both Xboxs. Oh and one last question for ya...Im considering buying a new Xbox soon but if I download and pay for the maps on my xbox...then get a new xbox....will I have to download and pay again? If i have to pay again it sounds like a rip off but sure

"Instead, we will be rolling out a special short-term playlist that will only be accessible for people who download the premium maps."

this may be a stupid question but i thought about it...

does that mean that this special play list only comes with the maps downloaded from content in xbox live, because i have xbox live but i still want to buy the disc, but if the discdoes not come with this "special premium downloadable playlist" then i wouldnt buy the disc... sorry if you all think im stupid....

uh, they said LATE april...like near the end of the month. Anyway, that's not why I'm posting. I was taking a closer look at the map Containment (my new facorite map, I know without even playing it. I love big maps.) and I already spotted the active camo, a brute shot, two plasma rifles, two plasma grenades, a warthog, ...a banshee (duh)..., a turret(human), a scorpion tank, and what I acan only guess as to be the overshield... Those are all at one base, so...they're obviously at the other base too.

hey guys i dont mean to sound rude or anything but its not BUNGIE's fault that we are going to have to pay. BUNGIE is OWNED by MICROSOFT, any other game that you dont have to pay for download content isnt owned by microsoft, you ever notice that? its not exactly bungie's fault, its the greedy microsoft sons of -blam!-es, and to clear another point, xbox live isnt owned by bungie, so why would bungie be getting the 50 bucks we pay a year? please think about these things before posting complaining about it... sorry for being a -blam!-

Actually, there was talk about glitch updates, read the whole thing and youll find it towords the bottom. That would be kinda cool to turn glitches on and off.

good question "yourmamasshadow"? I say probly 4.99 in a bundle pack, cuz other games like "pgr 2" and "splinter cell: pandora tomarrow" have content for that much and their usually in a package....but thats all just a thought!?

Anyone that's complaining about paying for the new maps should take less time writing and spend more reading the whatsupdate or the microsoft press release. They clearly say that everything will be free by the end of the summer. If you don't want to pay, then you can be patient and wait. I, on the other hand think that the maps look great, and will buy the disk, and enjoy the maps long before anyone patient enough not to. I also understand that creating the maps took alot of hours and resources and will gladly pay to support that. I know that bungie has been working hard, and thats what we are paying for. The weekly whats update also explains that there won't be any new weapons or vehicles. (Although I would love to see the ATV as well.) But it does hint at some other possible goodies... And the matchmaking playlists are clearly defined. So if you think you still need more answers, go back and reread the entire thing... they're there. Quit complaining... this is going to be awesome.

Frankie
Overshield is pointless in the game if there is a plasma pistol to take it out right after you get it. Fix that problem. Either by taking overshield out or by changing the plasma pistol damage.
Also, for those in the UK, all i have to say is USA > UK when is comes to video games, that is why you are put off for long periods of times. You do not have the same consumer market for video games as the US of A does.

Your are not in my eyes a -blam!-!! maybe an a-hole or something I do not know you, BUT.....
You are right when saying Microsofty is behind the paymend of the downloadable content..
They want money for everything... I will not look up if they even charge employees of Microsoft when they going for a pis at work...

I hope that todays weekly update will actually hook us up with dates, i'm hoping they come out soon because i am getting wicked bored of the old ones. Also the XBOX magazines demo disk had 5 Halo 2 game type downloads. Whats up that, is that like cutom games or should i go buy it. I assumed that it would be downloadable if it was on disk so i decided to wait and find out. Help me Out!
