This is dumb! No one should have to pay for new maps! We already paid $50 - $55 For the game, then $50 for xbox live. Shouldn’t that go towards something. Now we have to pay for maps that we have been waiting for an F - ing long time. I can't believe the crap that I’m hearing. Also when they said other games are charging for downloadable content. They must be talking about crappy games that I have never played before. It feels like I’m hitting myself in the head with a hammer. Hey Bungie! have you ever herd of a games called Ghost Recon 2 or Star wars Battle Front. These are awesome games, not to mention that they have busted out content downloads for free! Ghost Recon 2 already has two FREE content download packs including plenty of new maps, weapons, that an old wrinkly man could not “shake a fist at“. Star wars Battle Front has a new map that is the topping on a ice cream Sunday filled with enough maps to give you a heart attack. Bungie it time to step up! Other hardcore gamers and I were disappointed with the TV halo 2 ad basically saying, Hey look at this cool campaign level, that you don’t get to play. Also the no online co-op, no 4 player co-op, and I have a good idea! lets not have the last level end with the star of the game. So, I do not know what kind of crack your smoking, but lets try to raise the bar. I’m beginning to see a brighter future in the PSP and the PS3. Because lets face it, Halo put xbox in to the gaming world. When Halo 2 came out, a lot of people did not think had the same feel as halo 1, But they still played it because it was online. Judgment Day is coming for xbox and Playstation. Its going to take a lot more than 32 multiplayer online that star wars battle front already has to give xbox2 an advantage on PS3. So hopefully the next halo can save xbox, but in the mean while making, your valuable gamers pay more for a few maps that we already paid with the game cost and the xbox live yearly fees for, is like spitting in our face. Mostly because we deserve much more. Like more cars and weapons. Also I did not like paying 5 dollars more for my game to hear bungle tell us there excuses and show cool things that we were not going to play with in the game. I growing tired and I and other people like me are the ones with the money in our hands. What I spend that money on will be up to you bungie. If there are other people like me, tell bungie and I how you feel about this taxation without mapresentation.




True true true true, we paid already enough for playing online and stuff...
For other games, the downloads are free to, they have to work for it to.
So this is crap paying for them..
OK I can wait for them after the summer, BUT that means that I cant play with buddys in my friendslist, because they have the new maps because they choose for paying for it.
It is so lame!!

paying 20 bucks for 9 new maps is like getting a brand new halo 2.5. well worth it. everyone paid 55 bucks for halo2 and is now wanting more, and they are getting more without the 3 year wait of a new game. i don't mind that it doesn't come with a new campain, i still haven't tried halo 2 on settings higher than normal. i'll go back and play halo CE if i feel like campain. i figure that halo 2 has 13 maps, 2 of which i haven't played at all (major clanmatches?) and getting nine more equals the chance to not play burial mounds all the time on team slayer and lockout in rumble slayer. its a new game and something to keep me happy. but i guess i was happy before. bungie, you guys work hard and i appreciate your time and effort.

Omg thank you for cleaning this threaad up. It was becoming more of a fight than sharing ideas.

On the topic of maps i think the first 4 look pretty good. I already know ill be playing plenty of custom games at containment. Lol i look at that map and it screams netural bomb to me. Eventhought it would be great for the halo 1 CE style of 1 flag CTF (hint hint). 8^P

Frankie: Is there going to be Clan Slayer games in the new updated matchmaking playlists? Also, the first time you guys posted this story, in the first few pages, I went to some guys link to vote for Clan Slayer in matchmaking and the votes for it were overwhelming but I'm wondering; is this type of poll something you guys @ Bungie really take seriously?

hey frankie do you know when there are going to be info given about the other maps when the 4 come out? Do you know anything about the "part of the solution" thats on the yellow wall in headlong? (Do you read these posts?)how offen do you and other people at Bungie play on XBL? The new maps are going to be so sweet. I can tell that Containment and Turf are going to be my favorits. I can't wait for April to end! ^_^

So two maps are free by the end of this month by download.

Two maps can be bought by the end of the month for 5.99 by download.

The remaining five maps can be downloaded by June 28 for $12.99 or bought on the retail disk for $19.99 by the same date of all 9 maps.

The question is if we choose to download all of the maps and not buy the disk are we still going to be able to get the extras that come on the disk seeing how we are only paying $1 less for the downloads than if we bought the disk?

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.

A hee hee

You thought it would end with me, but I told you there would be more.

5.99 + hidden VISA fees on the xbox = around 8.99 $

12.99 + hidden credit card fees on the XBox = around 15.99 $

youre actually going to pay 25$

Ah hah ha ha

Shhhh but no one knows that! Keep it a secret!

The new maps look great. I cant wait to play them.

I especially like how you are bringing back Wizard that was a great map in Halo CE, but I am dissapointed that you arnt doing more. You have brought back Blood Gulch (Coagulation), which I hate, the old blood Gulch was so much better, yea the new graphics are cool and everything but I find that me and everyone else hate it when that map pops up in the loading game screen. I have to congratulate you on brinning back Battle Creek (Beaver Creek) it is so much better now, I love it. Now what I really want to say is I recently played some Halo CE and had so much fun, the reasons because of the maps (also pistol, by the way the battle rifle should be able to kill people in less shots). If there were any maps you should remake and bring back it should be maps like Chillout, Hang em' High, and Danmation. I dont care if you remade them and tested them and found that they werent all that fun. You should find a way to make them more fun because those are the best maps ever. At least let people demo them and decide what they think.
Other than the usual complaints the whole leveling system for Xbox Live needs to be reset, everyone should go back to one and then the level system also could use some tweaks. Cheating is so -blam!- and those cheaters deserve to lose those so unrealistic ranks. Also the boosting clan thing needs to be fixed as well thats so -blam!-.
(You need to make a way for someone to snipe someone out of the Banshee, Ive red how that girl dose it in the book and that would be sweet if it was possible for players to do it. I dont care if you make it really hard but it needs to happen.) (the shotguns also need to be recalibrated they seem to work differently each time they are fired.)

I can wait for these new maps to come out. You should not torture us so by making them come out late april. Its so in humain.........

It is logical to conclude, therefore, that MS bought out "Take Two", and thus coming into possession of 19.9% of Bungie's stock. Bungie, however, still owns FOUR TIMES that much of themselves - 80.1% is still owned by Jason and Alex ALEX:(WHO HAD A VISION AND QUIT AFTER MS CAME). They have the controlling interest. No matter how much Microsoft may kick and scream and -blam!- and moan, Jason and Alex always have the final say, unless they decided to give that up.

Looks like they gave up that interest!

Noooooooooooooooo

Maybe your just starting to realize that Bungie is not trying to fix anything, but they wasted all this time on 9 new maps instead of fixing the cheating.

They dont have the fix otherwise they would have pumped it out on the net already.

They are full of -blam!-!

xSIV3Lx: Man we all know how you feel. What do you think all this is gonna get you? Dont you see that hardly anyone here listens? You could preach your word all day and still be at square one in the end. Now Im not mad at you or anything like that. Really you hit some pretty good topics, but no one cares about what someone else thinks because in the end everyone that wanted the maps will have them and everyone that didnt wont.Some will wait till summer and some will download them the second they go online. But didnt you say you liked Halo? Even if its that you only like Halo CE just go back to playing that instead.

i have to agree with zeus, man you seem inteligent. your just going about in the wrong way of proving that. let it go. say something possitive. try being alittle more optamistic not so pestamistic. cheer up everything will be alright.
