Why now? Why couldn't this have happend when i still played halo 2? I do love how bungie is keeping things fresh, but new maps has never been the REAL problem, cheating has. I own a 360, but why are the maps 360 only? The whole thing seems to be backwards, because people that buy a 360 learn that Halo 2 isn't the only good game out there. People that don't have a 360 still play the crap out of halo 2, so who punish them?

With gears of war, call of duty 3, splinter cell, and rainbow six all out (or coming) I really don't think I'll buy them. But thanks anyway.

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

Best Bungie Newspost EVER. PERIOD.

Hands down this made my day (or month, or year), I love to see that Halo 2 is still kicking ass, and will continue to.
Thanks for all the info Bungie!

If you don't live for something you'll die for nothing...

What are you guys talking about? Whoever said the new Halo 2 maps weren't coming out for the Xbox? Did you not read the article? Here, let me underline some of the important parts of the article:

We make games and in this case we’re making maps. Microsoft Game Studios is our publisher and they have the final call on the when/where/how part of the equation.

We’ve seen a gradual shift in our online population more and more towards Xbox 360 but I know there are a lot of folks out there who haven’t made the switch yet. Does that mean you’ll never get to play these new Halo 2 maps? We can’t say for certain, but ultimately we hope to find ways to make the maps more accessible to more fans over time. We have in the past, after all. But again, the final outcome of those decisions won’t totally be up to us.


They said they didn't know for sure. There's nothing in there that's definite about the maps only being on the 360. And don't blame Bungie for it either. Once again, it's up to Microsoft because they are publishing it.

Btw, HAPPY HALO DAY!!!! WORT! WORT! WORT!

I was planning on watching the Football game anyways, this will only make it 100 times better. Ya know what i'm sayin'?

Hey Bungie, just release another MapPack so us Xbox players can play these maps.

As a steady Halo 2 player on the Xbox, let me say that you guys have pretty well cemented the fact that I'm going to sell my Xbox and buy a Wii. Creating new maps for Halo 2 and only putting them on 360 is pretty big slap in the face of the people who've really supported Bungie and Xbox. So when you make it so I can't join up and play with my friends or play matchmaking online because I can't load the maps, I'll go back to playing free user mod multiplayer maps on PC games.

Just because you coundn't get Halo 3 out in time to support the next gen. console with a good next gen game doesn't meet that all those hundreds of thousands of supporters will be jumping to buy those 360's gathering dust at wal-mart. I'll be the first to admit that i'd have probably bought a 360 this summer if there had been a good next gen game out there(halo 3). So for some unknown reason I'm going to preorder Wii, because there's an exclusive and single console game out there I want to play.(zelda). One day you guys will realize that people buy systems to play games. I still can't believe microsoft/bungie couldn't get Halo 3 out in time to support 360 release. You actually would have had a chance to get ahead of Sony and Nintendo. Now you're going to let Nintendo pass you guys with a less powerful console.

I am really excited to the 360 now and halo 3. On the other hand, i also think that its not fair that new maps will be available on the 360 only. wasnt Halo 2 made for the first gen xbox?

I know its not Bungie's call, i just dont agree with it.

Dang, thats AMAZING!! I loved the update, and loved to hear about the new Halo 2 maps; wonder how many are there.

The Halo 3 screen shot was AWSOME, such hi def. I also loved the halo 3 info, especially about the demo.

I would also like to give Halo, the best game ever, a happy 5th anniversary.

SWEET Update. How can Bungie be SOOOOOOO cool

  • 11.15.2006 6:07 PM PDT

Best day ever, not just i finish reading the flood(i took me two years to finish it, don't ask me how) but we get news about halo 3, new maps for halo 2 and halo wars, all in one day, and "ONYX", and the halo 3 preview nothing can be better than this. 2007 is going to be the year that "Halo Nation" takes over the world.

Check it out

You can see the Marathon logo on the rifle the MC is holding in the new screen shot.

What if Bungie was just playing with us and released it next week, that would be pretty trippy.

Come on H3.

I just wish that the Halo 3 Beta is something we can just download of XBL Marketplace and we get an email or something to email bungie.

New games, screenshots, Halo 2 maps and a Halo 3 commercial? Wow. However, Bungie, please don't[/i[ let the public beta test Halo 3. I like the "secret" stuff. That is what makes me [i]want to wait for Halo 3.

Halo 3 are the final chapter of the game. Every thing that had a begginning, had an end. Is going to be the best of all first person shooting game that out there. Gear of war is good, but halo 3 is perfect. Every Xbox 360 owner, must have this game! It will score over 10, when it come in stock. If any game report magazine giving under 10. WE SHOULD PROTEST THEM NOT TO DO THAT! Because we are the Halo Fan!

YOU'RE RIGHT! Being similar to one of the of the most commercially successful video games of all time is practically a kiss of death!
