I pesonally would only like old maps if they upgraded them in a SUBSTANTIAL way. Because if they just make 7 or 8 new maps and stick that old crap to fill in the rest in H2 bullets will fly and people will die for this travesty.

i think old maps are in because it was coming from the MULTIPLAYER guy. he says they have been spending some serious time with old friends. mulitplayer + old friends = hmmm old mulitplayer maps.

Only if they add things to the maps to make them better. Because it would be irratating to play the same maps we have been playing for three years to pay 50 bucks and get them Again. They could make it like Unreal Tournament where the maps are similar but vastly different and they keep adding things to these really good maps so it's never old. For example a Blood Gultch Zero-G on the moon! Or Boarding Action between a Covenant Cruiser and a UNSC cruiser. But if they go in with just a new coat of paint and nothing new, blood will be spilled by me.

Guys. everybody chill out. speaking of chill out, it is common sense that these old maps that are going to be in Halo 2 will not replace the new maps or anything like that. they will probably be UNLOCKABLE...because that's another thing that Halo 2 will have, unlockable features...

They should make the old beloved ones like sidewinder, battle creek, and blood gulch, just with better graphics, the new weapons, all the new features, and maybe even add a little more to the levels..

There is not unlockable content in Halo 2 quit making things up.

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

Yo, we're talking about the update right? And the update's about Bungie giving the fans an idea of where the game is at, right? All while trying not to give too much away, right?
Let's face it, we get basic info (like MP settings and limitations) on other games, 4-6 months in advance of their release, all the time. But Bungie is big and HALO 2 is BIG and there's more of an intense desire on the part of it's fans to know further detail about the game. So stuff like unlockables, guest-appearing MP maps, bots, and yes... CENSORED Pistols, have been hinted at in these weekly updates.
People aren't "making things up", at the least they're speculating and theorizing, and they're not -"jumping to rash conlcusions" (okay maybe some are when specifying exact numbers of game levels...sheesh)- but just going on what Frankie has let slip through on the underground.

p.s. Bungie!!! I love Battle Creek!!! Lets see it again!

Guys, who cares about the ranking system? I dont hate it, i think its pretty cool but im no stat whore. If you dont like it, dont play Halo 2 MP. Please stop whining, bungie is makeing one of the coolest games ever made and even though some people dont like ranking systems or destructible vehicles and lock on rockets, you are going to have to live with it. I am sure bungie will add options to make a server non stats so u cant see them on the server or get any stats at all on the server. I dont doubt im going to be flamed but hey, whatever.

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

Ranking doesnt mean jack -blam!-! I was playing SC2:PT and i'm a level 0 and this bloke who was a lvl 8 joined and kicked his candy arse! Its much more fun if you're a lvl 0 and then you beat pros!

Hopefully Bungie will have a way of you turning effects off, so if you want to muck around then it wont affect your rank, and then say you want to play seriously you can join a different server with all the pros who like the rank system! That'd be good!

I'm almost positive that bungie already knows a bout the differering opinions for the ranking system. So I'm going to assume that they'll implement "ranked" games, and "non-ranked" games into live. I mean come on, Does anyone really think an allout rocket launcher free for all is going to be a ranked game? Besides, doing so would make both parties happy


That should settle the ranking argument...... again

If they would at least bring back Blood Gulch and Sidewinder. I have had some good times kicking *** at LAN parties on those two maps.

i think bringing back the old maps is a waste of time and effort when they can focus on making new maps that are more fun. sure everyone loves the classics like BG, Sidewinder, and HH, but I think It'd be more fun to get a taste of new maps. Also I like the idea of a ranking system - think of it as a way to critique yourself, and see how you stand against others - but don't take it personally and be an idiot about it if you arent a top player - just have fun with it man.
