I don't think that they can charge for custom content. that wouldn't be fair to the people who spend time and effort making custom maps like the CMT team. if they did that then M$ would get all the money for things that they didn't necessarily create.

Also Masterz do you know when CMT is thinking of releasing the updater version of the campaign?

dont count on it. there were just too many problems. there's multiplayer stuff in the works, so you'll get some of that. if anyone wants to take the time to fix the hundred and seventy some problems, then you'll just have a surprise.

Wow... 48 hours? Are you serious? Every other software program out there (ie photo shop, video editors etc) let your try it for at least 30 days.

That's bull if its only 48 hours

I think it's 48 hours of strait gameplay. The 30 day thing just keeps rolling, no matter if you play or not you eventualy loose it. I don't know about you, but over 30 days most casual gamers usualy would have used live for 48 hours.

Nope just 48 hours regardless of whether you game or not which blows even more

Read the weekly update kid....

  • 12.10.2006 3:43 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

...but what we can tell you now is that you’ll be able to play H2V online and even interact with your friends on the Xbox 360 at zero cost (although Halo 2 doesn’t support cross-platform multiplayer). Now that said, there are going to be some very tempting reasons for you to upgrade to a full paid Live Gold membership.
-- From Matt Priestly in the Update

At least Silver is going to be free.

Here is some possible thing Gold could include:

Friends list important but X-fire handles this pretty well.
Recording - like they are planing for Halo 3, if they didit right would make it tempting but we have FRAPS as a fallback.
Achievements and all that crap the consolers flip over. I could do without them.
Stat-tracking by gamer tag. Drawback would be the hacking to pad the stats.
and then I had an nightmarish thought....
Voice-chat O.O Noooooo!!!!!!!

It's so good to know that we always have Iggwilv to help some people think with reason.

Okay well w/e i read the weekly update and thats -blam!- bull-blam!- but oh well... I just lost all my respect for Halo 2 Vista, decided I'm not buying it anymore. Probably wont get Vista for another six-12 months.

might even try Linux.. Seems to be a helluva alot cheaper.


BTW if theres a free trial it will be at least 10 days. Thats how it is is World of War craft.

So i geuss thats it for me and Halo 2 Vista. Not wating 150 bucks a year to play a -blam!- video game online.

You guys are considering microsoft TOO cheap. They are cheap, but not to that extent. The be as cheap as they can be without loosing costamers. So the features that they will offer you will be good enough that you will buy it, but barley.

Would you shut up about Microsoft already? They're not going to block any of those programs. If all you plan to do here is whine about how Microsoft does business, then we have no desire to read it.

Quoting youtself is fine if people miss the truth... kinda like this guy...

Yeah... that's great. So please post adding to the thread, not random 5 word posts that just make no sense, cause if you hate Microsoft that much, then why do you enjoy using their products such as windows? I'm sorry, but yes, Microsoft does some pretty harsh decisions, but they're a corporation. They didn't become the biggest corporation in North America by just giving hand outs man... they earned it. That's why there's even Microsoft certifications that you can get for technical training. Microsoft certifications are a lot more harder and much higher regarded than for say... A+ certification.

Sorry for that rant, but it's true, they're big, and they ain't gonna just change out of the blue. I am glad though that Windows Live Silver will be free, so now we get free online play. Screw global stats I say, makes games worse since stats-padding happens, By-server stats I say is a much better idea, no complaints from the millions of Counter-Strike servers.

I'll be fine with having silver forever, I don't care about rank and all that stuff. I care about being able to play Halo with a good netcode and vs my friends. And probably pwn some nubs along the way. I dislike Microsoft. I don't hate them but they piss me off sometimes. I'll get Vista early if unlike all of the other OS they have made that have a giant problem at the start, like 98, 2000, and XP had.
If they got the OS I might get it early. But probably just the cheap upgrade of it.
What I really want from vista is the feature where you can use Flash drives like memory for your computer but slower. I want to get an 8GB flash drive plug that in and have whats probably equal to 6GB total after considering the formating part.
That is the only cool feature I see that vista has that other good OS don't.
