Indeed. This is infact the best update in a while. for all us Halo fans. It's amazing Bungie still pays attention to Halo 2, I Applaud to you Bungie! they'll release new maps for Halo2 which is amazing, that made me smile today. The Halo 3 picture of Master Chief is stunning. I love the detail. Out of all the game companies i've ever known and im sure to all fans here, Bungie is number one. Thank you Bungie, you guys rule, it must be tough for you right now, but keep up the good work. And lastly..... thanks for giving us this game and world called Halo. I'd give My house to you guys.

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Yea, i gotta admit the new spartan model is awesome, however i think there still needs to be a lot of work done on it. one thing that i think they need to pay attention to more is the difference in the materials- right now they still seem a little bit like they are the same, maybe it is just the way the light hits the gloves- that needs to be changed. in that pic MC is in (what looks to me like) a dark, rusty hallway, but he has an enormous amount of light hitting him. Has anyone noticed that his neck seems abnormally long?

RIP Pistol

once again bungie thinks they're doing something right but fails. wtf is the point in only releasing the halo 2 maps on the 360? ur not microsoft, ur not going to receive any revenue from the increased sales of 360's so people can actually play them. This move was NOT for the fans, it was for microsofts pocket books. Halo 2 was a game made for xbox, where thousands of people play it every day, yet u make the maps for a console that they dont even have! pathetic. Here's something, how about you leave it to the customer when they want to purchase a 360 and not push them too. when halo 3 comes out then they can get it. best thing to do would have been to make it for the original xbox and just make it backwards compatible for the 360. how hard is that? geez i dont know what to expect from you guys anymore.

lol you guys don't understand this matter at all do you. You think it's some big "oh noes microsoft ploy to push sales of 360s up!" lol. Do you understand how hard it is to make the maps, then pay to have them burnt a million times to MMP2 disks? or how about the clunky old original xbox live?

The reason they made it 360 only is not to force you to buy a 360, it's because it's is literally 10 times easier to put it onto 360-live.

You say stupid stuff like "how hard is that? to make the game backwards compatible?" gee... they only have to write an entire peice of software to be able to emulate the system that the game would run on and then test it for a year or two *rolleyes* wow, that sounds much more efficient. Not to mention that they would have to completely start halo 3 from scratch and push the release date back another 2 years. Not to mention the lack of achievements, online optimism, ease-of-use downloadable content, and all the other benefits of playing halo on the 360.

If you don't wanna suckle up and buy a 360, then it's your decision, i guess i won't be seeing you playing any new maps/halo 3...

I can really see how logically thought out your post was.

Great, I wish I hadn't read that. Don't get me wrong, I love everything that update had to say, just now I gotta wait until Spring to get the new maps. Also, I will not be able to play Halo 3 beta, because I don't have a 360. :'(

i understand what is happening with the halo 2 maps only on the 360. The marketplace doesnt use the same format as the original xbox. Microsoft has moved on, and it would be difficult to monitor the maps release on both marketplaces. the 360 has been out for a year now, xbox is beginning to make a transition. fewer xbox orignal games are coming out. such a thing as new maps for an old title is a sweet deal, and only makes sense to put it on marketplace. once you get one youll see. its a different selling format. they dont use the old setup anymore for selling maps.

i'm fully aware it's not done. hence the "i hope this improves". i was just really dissapointed, and then, when reading through this thread, to see "OMFG this is the awesomest screen ever" i couldnt find what people liked in it. good god, chill out. i have every right to complain about a screen that looks like hell.


It looks like hell? Wow...
It doesn't look anything remotely like hell.
It's still a great screenshot, even if the graphics need improvement. It's not bad. At all.
