Killing Calmness til I Die

A CG commercial? Online beta? Still giving us Halo 2 content in spring of 2007 WHILE slapping those without a 360 in the face? This is a sad departure from what I have grown to love about Bungie.

....holding on to hope....



DUDE the xbox has been out for 4 years and no longer is it the console of the day. It is know time to catch up dude and get a 360. Perhaps these maps are made for a 360 and wouldnt work on an xbox.


Also You have 6 months until these maps come out give or take. So start saving now to buy a 360....by then you will only be 1/2 way through the life cycle of the system....i also assume you were going to buy halo 3.....you do know that it only plays on the 360 as well....


What makes you think I don't have a 360 right now? I never said that I was mad because I wouldn't be able to play the maps. In fact, I'm not mad at all. Stop posting blindly to what you consider opposed to your perspective. My post dealt with the fact that these decisions made by Bungie (and Microsoft, sadly) seem to be a far cry from what have built the "Halo Nation" in the first place. I'm not going anywhere, I was voicing my reaction.


very well i mistook you for someone that was complaining about buying a 360 for the fact that you dont wanna upgrade. My mistake. I can see what your saying but i dont believe it is as big of an issue as everyone is (or going to) make it out to be.

Im really looking forward to Halo 3, and anyone can tell you with the amount of stuff that I own and the amount of halo I play that I am one of the biggest halo fans out there. I would have to say as much as I like the screenshot, compated to Gears of War it is kinda lacking. Don't get me wrong, I will still play halo 3 no matter what and I prob will for a very long time. After Gears of War came out though, it really showed what the 360 can handle. Yes, there bushes didnt move, and there were a lot of little things in the game that people wanted to change. Overall though It had amazing graphics. The halo 3 screenshot looked amazing but there were little flaws in the graphics of the gun that made it look fake and the background seemed a little plain. You guys have still made a major jump and it looks amazing, but I know for a lot of us, after playing Gears of War its hard to play anything else that we buy, because every game now feels like it is lacking somethin. Can't wait to play the game though and I am really looking forward to the beta test. You guys are doing awsome! On the update it talks about more work being done with halo wars and the Peter Jackson thing? I thought Peter Jackson was just helping with the movie that was cancelled? Was the movie being cancelled just a rumor? If the real life movie gets cancelled you should think about doing an animated one like Final Fatasy Advent children, beause your short movie that came out for halo wars ROCKS! If anyone knows an answer about the halo movie reply and let me know please. TY x4Fx AJ
P.S. cheaters still suck, and they should all be in the fire pits of $$$$.

Do you think you can handle my gigantic COC?
~!TheHalo3D!~
-If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
-What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
-I intend to live forever; so far, so good.

Ok guys, I think you're forgetting the fact that although we MAY have to wait for Halo 3 a little longer than expected... we'll have a Beta that we get to test around MARCH!! It's an online demo basically. I'd be happier with a Halo 3 Demo (Not to mention the new H2 maps) rather tha waiting for an entire year without nothing... Except GoW.

I actually quit playing Halo 2 to play GoW (Not that I don't love Halo or anythig). But if Bungie can pull off some new maps and a public beta! You can see me playing Halo 2 again!... not to mention, getting everything we can out of the demo!

I sound far from whiney, I have legit complaints and I'm airing them in a semi professional, polite manner. Thank you for your post though.

SIr_Guze:
The insult comment wasn't fully directed towards you, however, since you opened the door, good job on being able to read at a 2nd grade level. I have yet to use any words requiring a censorship, as such, I've already displayed far more maturity than you will ever hope to reach in the next 20 years. This is the place to discuss Halo 2 and Halo 3, is it not? I have as much right to be here and voice my opinion as anyone else. The difference, is that my opinions are backed by fact and knowledge, not by hearsay and rumor. I'm glad you have this completely unfounded and fanatical devotion against MLG, may it lead you far in life, and hopefully, just maybe, allow you to finish middle school and get on to that next great challenge in your life, puberty.

LOL, seriously I am impressed you can create a full paragraph of insults toward me from my few sentences talking about MLG. You honestly have no clue what MLG really does and the games they have ruined but that’s for another time. If you would have actually read my post you could have created a response, instead you just wasted your time rambling. If you have an argument for MLG please post it with the proof, otherwise go away and I say again....TROLL ELSEWHERE

  • 11.15.2006 9:15 AM PDT

If you start saving now, you'll have a 360 by the time these maps come out!!!!


I love my 360 & I love Gears of War.
Everyone needs to play GoW.

Wow, mircosoft and bungie found out a way to scam us once again. NEW MAPS FOR 360's it's another way for the billion dollar business to rake in money. That's alright, I'll be patient until spring of 07. I'm not gonna waste my time on a game that I have alrighty beat and sadly I am enjoying contra at the moment.

Best of Luck to all gamers
Don't waste your money for new maps thats only on 360... maybe unless you have one.

HAPPY 5th

Look, I am an MLG player and an old school Halo 1 player. What Kitten is saying is the truth. For people to say down with MLG when MLG has a TV show on the USA network is just wrong! Attend an MLG event where you can actually talk to players who know what they are talking about regarding Halo 2. There is more to this Halo 2 maps on the 360. If you were an MLG player than you would know what certain people from MLG and certain people from Bungie are doing! Anyways enough posting on these forums. Sorry bout the ranting!

Halo 2 maps available only on 360 is fine. I dont mind, however these maps should not be required to play matchmaking or appear in matchmaking. Because there will inevitably be people who dont have a 360 and if they cant play matchmaking at all because they dont have a 360 it would suck. Just keep them to customs.
As for the rest i am quitly and calmly excited :)


New maps only for 360 = (in my eyes atleast) Matchmaking = 360 only.

Why, why, why, why would you make new maps for H2 and not make them available for the original box? Why? I don't care if 99% of the online community plays with 360s you still released the game on the Xbox console and released the map pack for the original console. If I would have known you were going to release more content for the 360 only I wouldn't have wasted my money on a original console. Almost seems shady.

I understand that Bungie themselves are not responsible for this, but is there a Microsoft email we can get to protest 360 only content? I doubt the maps are even in development yet and we have atleast SOME time before you start.

and to whoever said something about people not being able to mod the maps, your wrong dude. You can mod ANYTHING and people will find a way.

I don't know exactly what transpired between MLG and Bungie, but I'd like to hear the full story, either from Bungie or an MLG rep.

Umm When 360's are as low as the original one right now. I think I'll purchase one. Now does the 360 come with online stuff or do you need an ethernet core? Someone with knowledge please tell me...

Killing Calmness til I Die

Re....KittenKommando....Just to get everyones out look on this. Its a he said she said kinda thing. I can say well i thought of the halo idea 10 years ago when i was still in high school. But Bungie stole my idea and i never got any credit. Who cares if you thought of it first they are doing it and im happy about that so does it matter if MLG thought about it at first....?

If It's Our Time To Die, It's Our Time. All I Ask Is If We Have To Give These Bastards Our Lives We Give Them Hell Before We Do!

Well I think you can call next year a Halo year.

You can't mod maps on a 360, and until you can, I'd rather play matchmakeing on a 360 without the cheats & hacks. Wouldn't you?


If I were in charge of matchmaking, I'd set March 1st 2007 and switch all matchmaking to be exclusive to 360, early maybe.

Until thiis happens, I'll stick with Gears of War.

Bwhahahahyahaah! Oh snap! Thank you Bungie! I cannot believe the bombshell that's been dropped on us. Patience prevails yet again. So MUCH more Halo goodness than I anticipated...so much more...

I'm done with my little outburst. It felt good to get that outta my system. Anyways, maybe all those naysayers will stop complaining now. :)

Thank you Bungie, I officially love you guys!

Hope the BETA is open to everyone, but if it isn't then I'd appreciate being added to the bottom of the waiting list. :P

Can't wait 'til December 4th, and pray the ad will be put on the marketplace quickly.

Take your time with Halo 3 and the maps. I'm sure the true fans won't mind when they're released, although Microsoft might disagree.

I will try to get a 360, but thanks to the info, I will try to get one very soon. Can't wait to play the public beta around 2007.



  • 11.15.2006 9:37 AM PDT

Calm, it's not that MLG thought of it first, they had verbal agreements with Bungie, i.e. almost a written contract. Bungie broke their word.

Studio Pulse: You can mod with a 360, how do you think the old maps are getting modded. You mod the dvd drive firmware chip so it reads burned discs, burn a copy of modded Halo 2, and viola, modded games on x360.
