Okay, I think some ignorant people here need to either reread the article or get their heads out of their asses. Bungie has NO CONTROL over how downloads work in this setup. The new maps are available for 360 download only because M$ has shifted xbox live, for the most part, onto the 360. This means that new downloads and such are only available on the Xbox live marketplace, a feature not available on the old xbox consoles. It is unfortunate, and I am with the old xbox users on this one (I have a 360 but halo 2 never felt right on a 360 controller; The rumble sucks, and the 360 mic setup blows (I want the on/off switch to be compatable with all mics, not just the house brand.) I went back to using my old school Xbox for halo 2, and await h3 for the 360 with its updated control scheme to make proper use of the rb/lb) but seriously, saying you are disappointed with bungie over this is bull-blam-. In other news... the maps themselves are quite a nice surprise. Bungie has the kind of connection with its fan base, and the dedication, to keep going for years forward. I hope to one day work for a game company comparable to bungie (or maybe bungie? anything is possible I suppose) in terms of dedication to its fanbase. GO BUNGIE! Happy HALO DAY! WOO! The beta will probably be a xbox live demo download, but it is 'offically' a 'beta' simply because they wont just let you play, they will monitor everything done for use in finishing up the game. Yet another fine point of them, not just a demo, but using it for fan feedback, is ingenious. Not many game companys have this kind of integration with its fans. Finally, the on button is HIL-arious.
