Thank goodness there are no repercussions for installing the new maps. I was kinda worried seeing as I already installed the new maps. I still haven't watched the extras on the disc yet though.

A Guide to Networking, Matchmaking, and Host in Halo (HBO mirror)

Bungie Friends and Family invitee, and sender of "random emails" about networking.

Backwash is a great map, very similar to 343 GS on which is was based ... it even has the same ambient noise in the background, as well as 343GS' humming/singing noises. Hiding under some trees works well, especially with dark green armor, and a soon-to-be-activated Energy Sword.

Gemini is a nice looking map, but very small.

Terminal's train is seriously fast, and loops around the track about once every 40 seconds or so. If you're near to it, the slipstream flings you back, and if you land on top of it, you suffer no ill effects. A direct hit is instant death however.

Elongation is a nice-looking remake of longest, and whilst cool, is nothing particular special; I did play the original quite a bit after all.

Finally Relic is very similar to the Silent Cartographer in some ways. Some very cool ambient sounds ... waves breaking, seagulls crying, like a day at the beach. You can go into the sea with no invisible walls to stop you, but there's almost like an underwater cliff if you go more than a few feet, and going off it causes you to fall to your death. I'm attempting to find a superjump to get onto the tower, but it's tricky; Bungie either intentionally or otherwise have left few places to activate superjump mode.

people who cheat in video games, especially MODDERS, are socially unaccepted, -blam!-ly confused, losers. To go through the whole modding your xbox so u can cheat at a video game process just to increase your Halo 2 level......... I mean wow.... im so sorry that someone in REAL LIFE took your milk money but damn get over it.

shut up!
Cn anyone go 1 day without complaining about Halo 2 and Modding and cheating. Who cares? Bungie WILL fix it! Can't you people just learn how to have fun with this game instead of complaining about every damn problem with this game! Sorry, bungie.net for not making my own post talking about this.

Sure, modding to cheat is -blam!-tarded and we've all been pwned once er twice by cheaters, but don't lump "modders" and "cheaters" in the same category... i mean, check out your name... you WISH you could hack, you wish you were 1337 and could hex... not saying I can, but I like to focus on the positive aspects of reverse engineering.

Flame Sama's Portal. Home of the anti-emo teenage writer/gamer Flame Sama, stop by and read some time.

By the way, my gamertag is really 'Flame Sama'.

This account is inactive-it's a relic of a former time for Bungie.net, back when groups were riding high prior to the release Halo 3.

This is the time where I and my fellow Australians sit back loose a game off host on matchmaking. Get told we are dingo lovers etc or that we're British and don't deserve to live. Then we get the last word in "Have you ever put a Wraith in front of the Terminal Train." (Room goes quiet). Have fun on Tuesday Americans and I hope you dont get connection host of a server in at least one of the hundred games you play today.

You British, I think you voice sounds so cool so I never have a prob playing with you guys and I have found most of you I have played are good. I do hate the fact you guys are already playing it though :) Lucky l3astards.

The new maps are great... Containment is great, but Terminal might be my new favorite! I have faith in Bungie's ability to get the cheating storm quelled. I have not played much on Live! since the last reset, once this new update is out and the new maps are playable - I simply cannot contain my glee! Woo hoo! Planning to take a few days off work...

  • 07.03.2005 3:44 PM PDT

The maps will be free on Xbox Live as of August 31st.

Proof is here.
