"You say the maps will become free to everyone over time...how much time? When can we get them for free?"

"By late Summer, with the support of Mountain Dew, all the maps will be completely free. This does two things - it's a nice gift to the players patient enough to wait and it will also improve the matchmaking options available to those who have been playing those maps for a while, since we can then roll every suitable map into every suitable playlist. The specific timeline and details will be released soon, once they are finalized."

The only reason why I'm buying maps when they come out is because if you wait all these n00bs and people who have no lives will find out glitches and so on. So if you wait till late Summer and get all the maps for free, all those maps will be full of glitches and it'll be to hard to get into the new maps because of all of the glitches people found.

And yes there will probably be glitches. There are glitches in most of the other maps so there will probably be glitches in the new ones.

does master cheif smoke?
Posted by: Frankie
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.

Some people replying to this thread need to think - $19.99 isn't that much. I'm paying £14.99 for the disc when it's out, and I wouldn't care if it costed £30. I want the maps as physical as possible, and having the disc is good enough for me. The extras are a bonus - this disc is gonna be ultra Bungie!

But when will online stores (ie Amazon.co.uk) start accepting pre-orders? Have they been notified yet? I wanna pre-order mine to make sure I get it.

That'd be pretty hard since the glitches (ie sword cancel) are being removed in the next update...

This thread is pathetic. Would you all grow up, get jobs, and figure out that no one owes you anything. If you can write a better game, do it.

Perhaps Supernanny should have helped your parents raise you...you need some corporeal punishment.

Oh, and learn to spell and read.

Why dont you go to school and learn how to spell Corporal?

Perhaps Supernanny is a butt fugly European hooker thats resembles your mother!

Also and most importantly

Mountain Dew tastes like -blam!- and this whole 20$ for 9 maps resembles the -blam!- Mountain Dew tastes like!

I have to congratulate you on brinning back Battle Creek (Beaver Creek)
It's always been Beaver Creek, if you were able to look at the .map file name itself it was named beaver creek. I don't know why they didn't title it that in the first Halo.

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).
The battle rifle is fine as it is now. Four headshots kill. If you can't get headshots that's your problem.

(You need to make a way for someone to snipe someone out of the Banshee)
Aim for the feet.

You're waiting a month. Get over it. Don't think about it and go outside and do something. The time will go by fast...that's what happened with Halo 2. It seemed like the last 2 months flew by.

And why does everyone like Hang 'em High, chillout, and all those damned small maps. Those were ONLY fun with the pistol from Halo 1. In Halo 2 they will suck because of the dual-weilding. Even with the pistols they weren't that great. Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, Gephyrophobia, Infinity, Ice Fields, those maps were the best. BIG maps. Small maps SUCK. If they put all those maps in Halo 2 I'd piss my pants. But...that's never gonna happen. Oh well.

BTW, the new maps look fun. I can't wait to play Containment..y'know, the BIG map. Losers.

Notice how the subject gets changed every time this point is brought to everyones attention?

-blam!- the new maps when are the cheats going to be fixed Bungie.

Dont even get me started on the playlists forums they are so unbelievably all over the place there are like 200 different conversations going on.

So

A) When will the cheats be fixed and how?

B) When will you stop making us spawn in the middle of Cophagulation with SMG's in 1 hand and our -blam!- in the other?

C) When will you start answering questions!

The Autoupdate is currently scheduled for release some time in April and shortly before the first maps are available.

They wont tell us how the cheats are going to be fixed because then people will find ways to get through the fixes

You know what.

Seems funny, but as I look at everything more and more it looks like they are going to REVAMP the whole Halo 2 / XBLive experience because they know they -blam!- up.

Just seems funny the way they are doing everything.
