New Halo 2 Maps Revealed!
At last we reveal the two downloadable Halo 2 maps coming later this year. And no, it's not an April Fool's. Screens and info inside.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RealMetalHead No, they're OLD maps with a fresh coat of paint. Takes less time and effort to create.[/quote] Do you [i]really[/i] think that it would be possible to take H1 maps and just drop them into H2? I think it's safe to assume that the H1 maps were built differently than the H2 maps, and therefor not compatible. Given that fact, it is safe to assume that [i]it wouldn't even be possible[/i] to just drop them into H2. That's only one of the reasons that I'm sure that these maps took just as much time and effort to build as any of the other maps in H2; Another reason is the fact that the physics of H2 are different than those of H1. One big thing that someone pointed out in this thread is the fact that H1 had falling damage. As I said before: These [b]new[/b] maps [i]might[/i] have identical floor plans to their predecessors, but I guarantee a whole lot of work was put into adding new features, tweaking old dimensions, creating new artwork, creating new sounds, should I continue? It really pisses me off when people keep complaining that these maps are "just" "remakes" of the old ones. That implies that they were somehow easier to create or that they required less work/talent/time than other maps. I'd love to see you argue that with the people who worked on these maps, and see if you still have the audacity to be so utterly unappreciative and downright insulting. Just play and have fun!!!!

Awesome, I might go back to playing halo again
-
Well, i'm sick and work sucked... but this just made the day a whole lot better. Awesome news! Thanks Bungie! EDIT: I'm sure you can borrow your parents credit card for 4 bucks! Quit complaining about nothing... this is great news. [Edited on 03.30.2007 2:44 PM PDT]

Cool but thats kinda stupid that you can only buy with credit card not all people have credit cards you know!!!!
-
This is -blam!- how am i going to get these maps i dont have a credit card. No thank you bungie! hopefully you guys can rectify this mistake
-
I was a pretty hard core halo fan, but direlect is somewhere in the back of my mind... I barely remember it. I also heard that The Beta was coming out WITH the new maps? I guess its wrong? Or maybe just on April 17th?
-
both awesome maps. ppl hate on derilict, but usually just because they suck at it.....
-
not to sound like an ass but only two new maps.this is as sad to me like the GTA4 trailer.the maps are good dont get me worng but i thought there where going to be at least more than 2.but its all good kool update.
-
This is great and all but I believe what made Hang'em so excellent was the long range pistol matches. I hope the BR will be able to reach from tower to towere respectively. Otherwise a great idea to remake the one map that had it all. Also, if you all are remaking old maps how about revamping my old favorite,..................CHILL OUT! Shotgun Room!!!!!!!!!!
-
was this the wekly update??
-
Now they just need to put a date on the beta. I dont care if it is in May or something but I would feel much better if I knew the date the beta came out.
-
GRR!! I DONT HAVE A CREDIT CARD!!! WHY MUST I USE ONE!! LET ME USE MICROSOFT POINTS!!!!!!

Let me first say that I am happy to be getting new Halo 2 maps. However this is still a big disappointment to me. I was expecting AT least 3 new maps. But what I was really hoping for was a scenario where they are putting all of the old maps from Halo 1 into Halo 3 and just downgraded them to work on Halo 2.(I would have paid $50 for that.) That way they would cut down on their development cost. Now that would have been a thank you to all the fans. And if it is supposed to be a thank you then why aren't TWO lowly maps free? This whole billing of the new maps as a "Thank you" is inappropriate. I don't mind it costing money(people should get paid for their work) as long they follow the same model of it becoming free later so everyone is on an equal playing field. And yes, finally we get one of the best original boards in Hang 'Em High. But Derelict? Booooooring. Another big symmetrical box level like Wizard. Where is Damnation? That was the best board from Halo 1. Let alone something as interesting as Boarding Action, Chill Out or Chiron. But you know what? What I'd really like to be able to do is be able to play all the boards that are already out(that some people paid money for) in Matchmaking instead of the same 5 OVER AND OVER again. Again happy to have new maps but overall a big disappointment.

Sick! 2 of my all time favorites!
-
Very cool, Hang em' high =D Good job Bungie and Certain Affinity, looking forward for the first pair.

Would it be possible to have it set up to where if I pay for and DL them on my 360, then let me DL them without paying again on my xbox? No offense, but Halo 2 + 360 = ***P. The X and Y axis are not even close to equal (in speed) when playing on 360 and that's rather retarded, so I play on my reg. xbox. Anyway, is it possible to set this up either before or after they are released? btw, the maps look interesting, if I had to make an assumption, I would say they will suck (honest opinion), but I'm just going off one picture for each, and those pics don't show very much (unless I missed other pics). I will however DL and play them, hopefully they are good for MLG settings. Regardless of what I think of gameplay on these maps, I'll gladly say thanks to Bungie and Certain Affinity (hope I got that right).

thank you Bungie GODs [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Frankie At last we reveal the two downloadable Halo 2 maps coming later this year. And no, it's not an April Fool's. Screens and info inside.[/quote]

How can anyone call these maps new if they are both remakes? Am I the only one put off by the fact that it's appearing like these maps have taken six months, if not more, and are nothing more than remakes? Hang 'Em High was an idea from the beginning of Halo 2, too! It was originally in development, then it was omitted because [i]you at Bungie[/i] said i wouldn't have worked with the Halo 2 physics. So that's two years and 5 months extra wait on something that could have been there on Day One. Then you say this is your thank you to the consumer, when you are charging us $4 for this? You don't need a sponser to release free content. Remember the early days of Xbox Live, with Ghost Recon Island Thunder? There was 13 free maps! 13!!!! All for free!!!! Also, how much revenue has Halo 2 created? It's sold at least 7 million units. That would be 350 MILLION dollars. The original Halo sold at least 4 million....that would be about 160 million with an average price of 40 dollars per unit. That's 510 million dollars in revenue across both games. There is absolutely no justification for charging us, especially as a THANK YOU. Please, don't label it a thank you....nor as new......just don't label it at all. You can call it Microsoft's interference with Bungie's desires, though. [Edited on 03.30.2007 1:48 PM PDT]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Thank you for making em availible to the original Xbox!!!! Yay!
-
was this the weekly update???
-
its about time but wish it was free though oh well I have enough see u people there!!!!!!!!!!
-
I have to have a credit card for this? -blam!- that, what a rip off! [Edited on 03.30.2007 1:44 PM PDT]
-
Just wanted to know why they are for the original xbox as well as 360? I thought they were only for 360.
-
Holy sweet mother of God! I've never played any good Halo CE matches, so I guess this is as good as it gets for me. anyway, seeing as these are also for the Xbox, i'd assume that there's more on the way?
