dear Bubgie. the new maps look like a lot of fun. can we have some pictures that show us what is so special about them and also in this new pack why have you not included the stuff like the quad bike in it. Also, only on your site the writing looks like it is in size 2 so i cant read it. is this your problem or mine?

im happy that bungie is releasing download content but making gamers pay for maps after we already bought the game pisses me off but i should've known that if microsoft anything to do with it it would cost money. So my question is are you trying to ruin gaming forever by charging for an add on that should be free*



*meaning no cost at all whatsoever

Excerpts taken from 7hr33 on what Multiplayer needs

Show Health on the HUD beneath the Shield gauge. This would alleviate so much of the perceived randomness of damage in general. Whether this is implemented universally or though a new profile option to choose different HUD styles is open to discussion.

Fall Damage should be reactivated, even as an option for those who would like it.

Allow players to turn off or modify which text messages are displayed on screen regarding who-killed-who and what ammo has been picked up, especially for split-screen play. (We are pleased to report that the public's cry has been heard on this point. Thanks, gents :).

Speaking of clutter, have an option to totally remove the radar from the screen when not in use. It looks neat, even reminiscent of the Marathon HUD but boy, does it get in the way.

Have the shotgun fire more pellets to reduce the randomness of the damage inflicted.

The Plasma Pistol needs to be reinstated to its former "glory", ie. to be able to kill someone with less than 19 shots to their unshielded body.

Reduce or refine the seemingly random grenade damage (or at least send me a memo explaining their intricacies).

For both grenades and melees, increase both the damage and range (if only a little), and make a slight time delay when dropping a paired weapon to do either, making it a legitimate compromise to pick up a second gun (please follow this link for a more in-depth description of the issue). This melee extension might also solve some of the problems encountered when attempting to melee a running opponent in the back and missing aparently due to his/her feet sticking out behind them...

This is their chance to correct one of the sequel's greatest confusions. Make the Needler do something. Anything.

Remove mid-air lunging with sword and/or reduce lunge distance slightly.

Make the blast radius of the rockets huge (limiting its use in close proximity), but make it take forever to cycle between shots and reload.

The "freezing" effect of the energy weapons could still add a crucial variation to the weapons.

NEW MAPS, FINALY WEEHHAAW!!!!!!
[quote]Posted by: BAKEDOG
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.

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!


Hidden credit card fees! Dude you need to call Capital One. Seriously, I thought I told you not to post here anymore cause you're too stupid for your own good. Make sense and maybe someone will address your issues. Also, if you noticed from the news post, when you clicked the link that said "Discuss This Story" it means just that. Discuss all you want. There is no obligation to answer your questions. They did that in the news post. Now if it had said "Questions, Complaints, Ideas", then you might be justified in your postings. PLEASE, I beg of you for all that is good, stop posting here you insignificant pile an ant droppings.

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.

xSIV3Lx - Dude do you ever even play the game? You've had more posts on this thread than most people have on the entire Bungie.net site. You're probably some fat, balding guy who can't get a woman, works for minimum wage and until last year, lived at home with your parents. Quit whining. Your posts used to make me mad, now I just find them amusing. Hey EVERYBODY, go back through the pages and check out Siv3l posts. And what's with the same questions over and over again. Here read my post.

The glitches will be fixed before the new maps are available. The reason you don't have the fix now is because they probably don't have the release ready (still in testing or something, I don't know message Frankie and see if he knows - but do it off post). I swear you need to find something else to do beside cry. If you like, we can start a fund to raise the $20 for you, you cheap turd.

ps. before you even post it, yes I have a mortage, car, utilities, insurance, and daycare to pay but I'm still gonna come up with the cash for map downloads.

Shut up Rishey, why don't you go "whine" testing with SIV3L. You two should really form a clan, something like "Who's your CryDaddy" or "Whimper Squad", you know, something real catchy. [color=green]Dew![/color]
