Thats sweet ah a few things i want to talk about is halo 3 is gona be sweet for sure another is about the H2 maps have em put on a CD like your guys did last time for those that havent quite goten past the omish ages without XBL (not me) and the H2 Vista is gona be sweet especially with the map editor cause every chance i get with a map editor from any game i make tons of maps (hint hint) and last are you guys still gona have that crappy orange reflection on the MC's head cause thats just bs do it like it was to in halo 2 with the mirror reflection that was awesome. Last thing relating to Mister Chief i made a car of him in Forza and ill post a link to my myspace pics so peeps can see it.

Ok, hypothetical question for those of you telling people to go buy a 360.

I own a 360, I also own an original Xbox. I do not however, play H2 on the 360 because of the problems with the backwards compatability and the awful controllers. I will not play H2 on my 360 even with new maps. Microsoft has the same ability they had with the map packs to release them to the entire community via downloadable content, why not? Your loyal customers for years are now getting the shaft just because they loved your first system, pretty ******* shady to me. Thanks for caring about your customers.

Any mods who read this can you please give some details and clarifications that you may have, that we dont? I'm also looking for an email where I can show Bungie/MS my super special appreciation for my years of being a Xbox customer and not even owning a PS.

We as a community will make sure you stay in business because in all honesty, we are addicted. Our addiction is YOUR video games, why do you think you need to make more money off someone who's already hooked? You know what happens to drug dealers when they try that? They lose their customer base to cheaper dealers. I can deal with playing socom on a ps if it means I'm not getting raped.

look - after playing G0W and a few other games... Gheylo just doesn't do it for me anymore... looking at how 'cartooney' both Halo games have been, and now seeing an 'in-gheym' screenshot of the STILL cartooney-looking Master Chief - i am soooooo freakin' disappointed. i thought Bungie would step up to the plate and AT LEAST make the gheym LOOK better and more realistic. sadly - this is not the case.

and after playing GoW for awhile and going back to Gheylo 2 i see Epic's point - it IS stupid to be jumping around all over the place. the combat does NOT feel realistic. the gheym is NOT immersive. it is a freakin' cartooney caricature.

sad. so sad...

oh - and putting out a public beta for all us glitchers so that WE can DO YOUR JOB at finding all the exploitable things to do on your maps is pretty pathetic. you've seen how bad your coding was on the last two and you want the PUBLIC to point out all your flaws so you can patch them up for a final release?!? lame. and futile.

Wow. When you have something positive to say about halo, come back. Otherwise you serve no purpose here. Halo will remain the number one game whether you like it or not. It's far from cartoony and what the hell do you know about coding? I'll bet not as much as bungie.

As for the pathetic beta testing.. dont download the beta then. I'm sure youll have fun opening your friends list seeing everybody on halo 3 beta and you can play your gears of war. Get a life kid, you're the pathetic one. Not bungie.

I havn't made the switch yet either..and it makes me sad its not comeing out for us..yet, or ever possably..but Bungie had little say in the matter...it was Microsoft that made that decsicion and we all know Microsoft, like any huge Corp., is all about the BLingBling.

BUT THEY ARE STRANGLEING THE XBOX. AND IT SUCKS REAL BAD.

Bungie people I love you.

o man! i can't wait! i only wish i had a 360! you know, if microsoft would go down to the PS1's cost of only $150. oh, wait, i'll save that nagging for Sony. anyway, not to bug you much, Bungie, but did you un-render the mask? 'cause it wasn't "Real-time reflecting" as you say. i saw the Halo 2 mask. why a demo for H3? just a curious question, i mean, yall swore y'all'd never do demos...i think. 5 years? man, where has the time gone. i remember i got an XBOX just for Halo (now i'm playing it on the PC, go figure).

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Looking closely at "the mask", as you put it, I can kinda, sorta... plainly see that MC is looking down a hallway or corridor of sorts. So I think the reflection detail is still there but theres just not much in front of him to reflect. As for demos, there was a demo back in 2002 that first got me playing this old heap and I've been crouch jumping over my pets and my furniture ever since.

Question for the Bungie dudes. I am not in the position to obtain the 360 yet (Yes, some people need to pay their rent etc, even with a job, it doesn't mean I'm able to pay the big bucks just like that.) so does that mean I will not be able to play MM on my old X-box any more when the new maps come out? That would be a SERIOUS disappointment, to use an understatement of Halosize proportions. I would appriciate an answer to that burning question. There's a second reason why I'm not playing 360 yet. With the forementioned bugs plagueing the 360 emulator, and seeing the problems friends have when playing Halo 2 over 360 ("A player in your party failed to load the map" anyone?) I'll bide my time with the old X-box until H3 comes.

Well, I for one am done with Microsoft. I'm rather disappointed by this step (the new maps), because all it does is splitting the already dwindling player population in two. At a price of ~350 Euros (without a new game no less) for the 360, I will turn back to computer gaming. I could afford WOW or something similar for YEARS for that kind of money.

Thank you MS, it has been a fun time - but I think I will keep my money, thanks very much.

EDIT: To the poster right underneath me: No. But thanks for the suggestion.

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

Geeze, everyone just stop freakin' complaining!

If you are done with Microsoft, go tell them and leave the Bungie Forums to people who actually care about Halo and other console games.

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!


Don't care, about you or MLG or the crappy tv show.

People are just as allowed to hate your crap as you are allowed to love it.


An opinion is an opinion, and yours means as much to me as mine probably does to you.

Posted by: d0ppelganger 2
Bungie I would love to hear a technical reason why the new maps will only be on the Xbox 360.


Here's one, "THEY CREATED IT AND CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH IT".

They don't owe you anything, they don't have to operate to your standards.

Get your head out of the sand.

As for 360, buy one cheapskates. I've had mine for 8 months, and I worked my ass off to get it. Stop being lazy, get a job, and buy what you want instead of whining till someone gets it for you.

As for the CGI, who cares, it's more halo shizzle to oogle.

I swear, half you kiddys complain waaaaaay too much.


This right here is alot bigger then having a nex gen gaming system. This is a corporation dragging the consumer around by the balls.

I also am pissed about the new maps only being on the 360. Yet another lame step by Bungie. Also: "Halo 2 for Windows Vista" daaaaaaaaamn. I'm sure there will be some sort of unneccesary check to ensure that only those who have dished out the cash for Vista will be able to play the game. Way to go Bungie. You won the sell-out competetion.

Yeah, Bungie is trying to -blam!- everyone's mother. They are teh evil empire of the Business world. Oh God, after a year of working on new products they should right off the bat give away maps to the people who are too cheap to buy an xbox. They are so crazy!

Seriously people, you've had a year to save up. By putting $1.10 a day (Close enough) into a jar or bank account, you could have afforded a 360 by now. It dose cost Bungie to make this stuff, and it's not like the concept of releasing a NEW SYSTEM is new. Seriously, if anything complain to Sony about their $650 (With tax) system.


Back on topic, when exactly did they say the commercial was going to be on? (what exact time, not day)

Do any of the complainers here realize that Microsoft, not Bungie decided who has access to the new maps? This is probably the wrong place to cry about it.
