Listen: if you dont want to buy the stupid disk or pay for the stupid maps you simply screw Microsoft and Bungie over by modding your Xbox. By a nice Dvd-burner for your computer, buy a mod chip....i know there are some real cheap ones. Then borrow the disk from someone or download it. Download a P2P client...like Morpheus. Then simply burn it to a DVD-R...put the stupid thing in your Xbox and play the motherf'er. Its as simple as that but then you can burn w/e the hell you want. You can make copies of Dvd's and games. Its illegal but so what...how many of you download music cause you dont want to pay 20 bucks for a stupid ass cd. If you dont want to pay theres always loopholes in the system. If i didnt have such an old -blam!- xbox i would mod it too...because i hate paying 50 bucks for each game...i have a friend how has never bought a game in his life and hes a hardcore gamer..But dont sit around and whine about the price...i hate it too but if i dont feel like payin the price then ill mod my xbox and screw bungie over cause they used somewhat a form of "false advertisement" with the stupid april fools prank. All i have to say is thanks bungie...for making me 9 totally free maps. Keep up the good work but fire Frankie's stupid ass cause he isnt a good spokesperson.

I dont care that Bungie is charging 20 bucks because I understand how the industry works...even if they need to charge 20 bucks just so they can buy their houses in the hamptons...off the subject... its fine they are charging for the disk but, I read a lot of stuff about "not exactly fixing standby" and "we address the problem of standby" but if I pay for new content to support this game I will be pissed if standby is just reduced slightly, how bought telling us if standby cheating is taking care of or not, because if not, Im not buying the disk...

Are there going to be any other new play types other than 2v2? If you cant fix stnad byand only reduce it are you going to make the punishments more harsh, say for example anyone that gets caught get all there levels reset or some thing like that. And just a side note I see alot of complaints about how long it takes andwhy are you charging money. I was woundering if those people know how to make good video games like halo and if they could get them out faster. P.S. I am going to collage so i can get a job in makeing video gamesand i was woundering what software do you priamrly use to make halo.

Has nobody actually read the information on the release of the maps??? Eventually they will be free to download from live. If your too cheap to pay then wait. All this talk about modding thier system to get something for free, please, you probably have never had anything stolen from you that you worked hard to get. If Bungie wasn't trying to make the fans happy they would've moved on to the next game, which could make a far bigger profit than a 19.99 disc. Instead they are trying to make our H2 experience better by going through damn hard work to make these maps for us. You try making a map for a first person shooter without it looking like pong meets the mario brothers. Bottom line is if you don't like how bungie is doing this then don't get the maps and break your halo 2 cd in half, but I I'd bet dimes to dollars that all you whiners out there will be first in line at the stores with mommy and daddies money when the maps come out. Get a life.

I think that standy by is fading away in lower ranked games because i am a 15 in skermish and 14 in slayer and i have not been stand by in 26 games and almost 4 days. I think all the cheaters are higher ranks now and are cheating on other cheaters. For the most part bungie just needs to moniter the higher ranks unless a lot of feedback is given on a lower player. I think that bungie is doing a great job. I am ready for the next update to come out and for the maps to get here. I hope the next update shows some more of the screenshots of the maps and the dates they are coming out. But for now i am content b/c i haven't been cheated in awhile. For all the cheaters out there, go and re-think your lifes, b/c if you have to cheat to win you will go no where in life, and will probally end up working for the people you cheat on.

omg, would everybody stop nudging the fudge outa those Bungie members with your pork sticks......"we're really grateful...blah blah blah....we love you"......do you think they would really go out of their way to create maps and fix glitches for school kids like you..just out of pure generosity.....erm no. its called the business world..you either please your customers or you lose them. you wouldnt exactly buy a mcdonalds and then start kissing their ass cos they worked hard to give you some free ketchup.

this is a prime example of naivety
a) it takes TIME to programme 'next game', dya think Halo3s just going to be on the shelves next week end? its much easier to make money on extensions to games programming and make some money on it than to completely start a fresh game.... they probably are considering a new project or are possibly even working on it but it will make money later not now.
2) i doubt they are going to make any more profit on another game than they already did on Halo2
3) i agree that bunie are trying to make the 'fans' (what i would call potential buyers of their next game) happy because they want to keep their server full of players, xbox live account numbers increasing and people generally pleased with Bungies performance...afterall there are a few faults in the games programming that customers may not be entirely happy with.... they would like to correct them to perfect their product and keep all their customers happy and keep them playing and keep those $$$ rolling in on the next game they make etc etc success, success.....no body in this world spends money on programming just for the sake...people arent like that any more unfortuantely, nobody is mother terisa or however you spell it or a good samaraton..it is survival of the fittest in both every day life and the business world, its kind of a '"f you scratch my back..ill scratch yours" kind of attitude..yes they are making maps but even if they are making them free in the summer..they still know a healthy number of people are going to purchase the maps just to get the sooner. (lets say it costs them a huge $4 million to create all these maps and patches etc, including wages for manpower and a map is only $10 each and 500, 000 out of the estimated 10 million people who play halo2 online buy them, they have already made a profit of $1 million and of course this may encourage more Halo2 owners who have seen their friends play online with this quality of gameplay and variety of maps to subscribe to xbox live and that again gives Bungie yet more pleased customers. they give us two free maps now to give us a taster of the new maps which will hopefully encourage us to buy the others just to get them a few months sooner i mean why not just give us all the free maps now in one big patch???....well why when they can get some $$$ out of us first...cmon they know its your mommies and daddys credit card any way that their gonna reap from.....i did really enjoy the 'glibbernish to english comment' that -blam!- was funny.

VALIN1414: I totally agree. As much as I hate cheaters, I've noticed that almost all cheating must be taking place in the higher levels. I haven't been standbyed for weeks now. I play alot of team slayer, big team, team skirmish and we also play alot of clanmatches, we haven't been cheated in those either. I find this extremely surprising but at the same time, I'm not as F&*#in pissed off anymore since their cheating only affects themselves in higher ranks that I'll probably never reach. If you look at the leaderboards for major & minor clanmatch the stats just make no freakin sense. These clans go up in rank by like four every 2 or 3 games, EVEN IF THEY LOSE!! And also almost every single game has no stats because somebody if not all of them cheated in it.

But all in all, I'm not as pissed anymore 'cause cheating no longer affects me on such a level as it did when this all first started.

Well I think it's time for another weekly update, maybe a map release today would be good also. How about Bungie sending me copies of the maps before the release date so my buddies and I can test them out.

It's like buying a car take a test drive and then make the investment.

An investment i'm likely to make

This week we finally answer the really, really pressing questions. What are the maps, when are they coming, what do they cost, how you get them and what this means to folks who don't have Xbox Live. Hot, hot, hot.


LMAO Youre soooooo full of -blam!-!

So when can we expect answers to any of the questions we asked eh Frankie?

Only posting I have seen you doing is the first one in the beginning and the third one telling everyone how you had to restart the chat because you were scared of hearing all the sense that I was making! Yet no answers? Seems shady to me.

Maybe they should fire you and the rest of your marketing team like

Chris Blevens
Chris DiCesare
Jen Martin - Unless shes hot
April McKee - Unless shes hot
Brian Rekasis
Genevive Waldman - Unless shes hot
Oriena Yeung - cant tell if male or female!

Other than the hot chicks fire them rest of the lot. They made and are making dumb decisions, where Mountain Dew the crappiest crap of all pops comes into Halo 2 I dont see and why we have to pay for content that should be free is beyond me.

I bet when Halo 3 comes out the MC is going to be drinking a can of Dew because they have all thier greedy palms all over the place.

Pffft and to think you would actually listen to your customers.

it would be funny if he did eat all the pies, he could roll along and crush all the covenant and the flood, and when he farts, Delta Halo is destroyed and he blasts back to Earth, hehehe...
and then he floats towards earth and everyone says "oh no a huge meteor is going to collide towards earth!!!!!!!" But Master Chief makes a controlled descent by doing a constant fart until he touches down on earth. Where he shall be given a medal, but they cant find anything big enough to fit round his fat neck, so they just give him a huge pie

"yum" says Master Chief "MORE PIES"

Then he consumes the earth in 20 mouthfuls and floats in space until he blows up

THE END

he he he......

Because my dear friend moneymanog our society is built on democracy. Something Bungie and Microsoft are against, because you see if things worked democratically around the video gaming industry the "REPUBLICANesk" ideaology of the money hungry ; and some might say almost "communistic"; views of the higher ranked officials in MS and Bungie would rather line thier pockets with the money of the poor souls who think that they are bieng given a gift with these maps rather than fixing the cheats and saying thanks for buying our product..

Oh you mean that product called Halo 2 that was the #1 most sold game of all time that beat any opening day movie selling day! Yep even Titanic!

Well think about this you idiots who dont understand why people are mad!

IF BUNGIE WAS EVER GRATEFUL TO US FOR MAKING HALO AND HALO 2 A BIG SUCCESS...

WHY! WOULD WE THINK THEY MAY WANT TO BE THANKFUL TO US

WHY! WOULD WE BELIEVE THEY ARE HELPING US AND THANKING US BY MAKING US PAY FOR NINE MEASILY MAPS WHEN OTHER GAMES HAVE 2 TIMES THAT AMOUNT FOR FREE.

WHY! MUST WE FEEL LIKE MOUNTAIN DEW IS A GOOD DRINK

WHY! WOULD WE THINK ANY ANSWERS WOULD BE GIVEN HERE

WHY! ARE THEY SO GREEDY

WHY! ARE WE SO SELFISH FOR NOT WANTING TO BUY NEW MAPS

I GUESS WERE TO BLAME FOR THIER GREEDINESS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT DONE ENOUGH TO HELP BUNGIE, MS AND SO HERE IS OUR CHANCE, BECAUSE WE ARE THE CAUSE OF WHY WE HAVE TO PAY FOR EXTRA CONTENT NOW.

DOESNT THAT MAKE ALOT OF SENSE GUYS.

THE CUSTOMER IS TO BLAME FOR ALL OF THIS.

MAKES NO SENSE TO ME

THINK ABOUT IT!

Mad Props to xSIV3Lx for his in sites, cause biatching in forums like this get us no where and its been over a week and still no new weekly update. I think bungie has forgot about its customers and needs to be more active in its updates on its web sites, more new breaking news ie. details of the maps adnd other game related stuff.

well i know paying for the games sucks for some of you but hey between you and me copies of halo 2 and other bundie games aren't flying off the shelves like they were in November. Everything costs money and bungie needs some income so they release some maps make some money off our sorry arses and invest in things like Halo 3 or dmb ideas like a Halo Movie which will ruin the game and the story line.. There will be a big hype for the movie and then it will just be a big let down.


come on bungie lets get some feed back cause your doing a bad job right now

I'm sick of hearing idiots talk about how horrible bungie is. If you actually read the story, it gave out all the information you could ask for. So stop whining about how dumb bungie is for not telling us about the damn maps. They've givin us all the info. we could ask. Learn to read, and get to the f***in article. Of course these maps aren't free. I'm sure that bungie isn't rich, they probably rent out apartments. So stop saying how selfish they are and enjoy the work they've put in. Pay for the disk, and let bungie get onto the next thing without being bugged constantly.
