Bungie Weekly Update
In this weeks update, we concentrate almost exclusively on the new Halo 2 maps, announced this morning. Lots o' details inside!
-
very cool maps but i think that they should be free cuz yea....for uspoor people...but oh well it works...
-
Bungie the maps look insane, its nice there finished but can you tell me when they will be released
-
effen awesome, great job on the maps.
-
What is with all of the grav lifts? Were teleporters and ramps just vetoed by someone who held a weird ass grudge against them?
-
doesnt this remind you of the atv offroad fury 3 map?
-
again..."wow" good job bungie! ::HIGH FIVE::!
-
"wow"
-
Dude the new maps are sweet but what about the mod. in halo 2 all they will is download this maps and mod on them that why it should be for the 360 only
-
Nice that there are new maps, but I can't believe we have to pay for them!! That sucks!!
-
MONKEY SOUNDS!
-
yes, bravo on the update Clap* Clap* finally a good one.. now explain why Bungie is charging us for maps? i mean cmon.......how much money have we put into this game already? halo2 (65 bucks when it first came out) xbox live (55 bucks year long) first new map package (???) SECOND map package (???) Crackdown for the beta invite (70 bucks) yeah i guess ill pay 4 bucks for new maps...... nvm lol
-
Cool new maps!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah, like some people in Europe have no credit cards. Like me, I won't be able to purchase the new maps what so ever (not even with a 'gift card', not available around here). SO I WON'T BE ABLE TO PLAY ALL OF MY FAVOURITE PLAYLISTS EVER AGAIN!!!! [Edited on 03.31.2007 3:12 AM PDT]

How much is $4 in pounds? =P Anyway, pretty good, although Bungie should have said at an earlier point that the maps would be on original Xbox too, because there's BOUND to be some people out there that brought a 360 for them. I can understand why they cost money, and that's probably because of production costs, although a small profit is bound to be made, naturally. [Edited on 03.31.2007 3:08 AM PDT]

I like the look of Hang 'Em High... reminds me of the totally logical blocks of information pasted on a recipe site that always gets the mixtures wrong, and Derelict/Desolation looks particularly awesome. The latter map reminds me more of Halo: CE; while the former reminds me of the flood levels in Halo 2. Note I'll be the first to purchase these maps when they come out.
-
So.. it's been asked sooooo many times in this thread when the maps are being released. It's also been answered : Who : Bungie :P Where : Xbox Live What : Two sweeeett Maps :) When : April 17th. Why: 'cause they want to, 'cause they want to. Price : $4. Right, onto my problem, I'm in Ireland, and I'm sure the same goes for UK members... is our only way of paying by credit card?? Can we not use Microsoft Points to buy the maps on the 360?? Really confused... I'm nearly sure I read in an update where you announced the maps that they'd be available on the 360 marketplace .....
-
bless you Bungie and Certain effinity ! These new maps look fantastic and even after all this time the halo 2 engine still seems to pull of great textures and lighting, it's nice to see two classic maps have new life breathed into them. Although I have a 360 I think it's really cool you guys are making these maps available for both xbox and the xbox 360, It shows that both Bungie and Certain Affinity care about the fan base. cheers Frankie for the update.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] IITaLoSII well one thing i seen in your update was (Lots of folks are asking us in direct terms, “why make maps for Halo 2, when Halo 3 is just around the corner?” Well, because we love Halo 2 and we love our fans. They’ve continued to play Halo 2 solidly for three years, in vast numbers, and we owe them it. Not enough to give it away for free) hmm i thought the mass amount of sales u got from halo 2 and us playing it non stop for 3 years isnt good enough to give it to us free ya i know 4$ but thats a insult to us u made loads of money off halo 2 so so i would re think what i u said more like this Lots of folks are asking us in direct terms, “why make maps for Halo 2, when Halo 3 is just around the corner?” Well, because we love Halo 2 and we love our fans.

Bungie didn't actually create those 2 maps, some other company did, and because that company didn't see ANY profit from Halo 2, their charging us to pay them. It's actually a fair deal. I mean hell, 2 dollars a map isn't going to break me, especially considering how much time I'll be logging with those 2 maps between now and Halo 3.

All I gotta ask is did they say when these maps are coming out? [Edited on 03.30.2007 11:26 PM PDT]

Why Can't we just admit that Xbox1 is Dead. why should we be hindered from their cheapness? Put it on Market place, it will make people buy more 360's and then we can win the console war. I gave my Xbox 1 a proper burial in September. Get with the program people the version 2's!!! of the 360!!!! is coming out in April!!!!!
