[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kai Uchiha Im pretty sure I know why that they made it so you cant use Microsoft Points. Im pretty sure they made it like that cause if they did make it like that they would have to get their money through Microsoft and Microsoft would prolly charge a transaction fee which would cause Bungie to lose money cause they would have to pay it. But this way the Money goes directly to Bungie's account and cuts out the middle man.[/quote] Im pretty sure its [B]Certain Affinity[/B] getting the cash not bungie, read the update. heres a new update for the lazy http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=certainaffinityinterview [Edited on 04.03.2007 6:47 PM PDT]

Oh my god you have to move!!!! Now that i tnink of it yur right, if we have to use any sort of motion then the world really is coming to an end isnt it? I am really srry I ever got mad at you. What was I thinking? Dude, you should just be glad that yur even able to download the maps when they come out. I wont be able to because texas getting repairs. Not that I really expect you to respond Frankie but I was wondering if the beta will be out really soon because i dont want my 360 getting repairs while the beta passes me by.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] raja714 so how long will we have to wait..after we buy the new downloads..it says thats they'r goin to give every one a chance to buy it first..soo?[/quote] they are going to wait awhile before they put them in matchmaking. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CINIC 87 My only real complaint is that I wont be able to play the maps when they come out, cause my 360 is in texas getting repairs [/quote] YAY! Texas!!!

um i already gave my rants and moans before but can any one answer this on my 360 when i turn it on and my tv is fine we checked but my picture is wierd it goes yelloy green but like i said the tv like the channels and stuff look normal so is this a problem with the cables or the xbox 360 cuase also my original xbox picture is fine could this colour problem be the H.D.?
-
actually i was aware u could use a visa gift card. I'm just mad at the fact I can't just use my microsoft points to buy them. It's more of the principle and the fact that I have to go out to get this card just to get two maps when I could have just used my microsoft points, in todays world people want the most convenient way available to them. And besides Halo 2 is gonna be a thing of the past for me soon, considering Halo 3 is coming out this fall and I got the Legendary edition reserved. I'll just wait the half a year.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CovanatSlayer117 AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111 P.S: I hope you make those maps free...............[/quote] Lol again....read the update....The maps wont be free for quite some time...."By the time the new redeveloped maps are free for download everyone will be playing Halo 3.....does that give you an Idea of how long you will be waiting? Yea....thought so pwned lol
-
Two thing's to ask since I don't have a Credit Card. 1. Do i have to be 18 or older to get a visa gift card 2. Where can I buy it? [Edited on 04.03.2007 8:52 AM PDT]
-
Well, it was a little late in comming. That would be the main reason it may or may not be "forgotten", merely because people won't actually play it
-
Yea you people aren't thinking when you say that having the maps cost money isn't a bad thing, Because if the maps cost money that means it wont be played in matchmaking and will be forgotten
-
My only real complaint is that I wont be able to play the maps when they come out, cause my 360 is in texas getting repairs
-
how many times do you thick people have to be told that you can purchase these maps with a visa gift card? Are al the people posting in these forums high when they post? Not only are the players telling you this but i believe that the company itself has told you three times. Last word for you: THICK!!! And by the way, Certain Affinity I'm glad you are re-making these maps. I do have to admit however when frankie mentioned monkey noises i was definitly not thinking about "derelict", I was kinda hoping for something new.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stellar91 WOW! . Hater , Haters ,Haters. My Mom always said , " If you don't have anything nice to say then STFU ! Quit complaining about $4 bucks seriously, !6 quarters, most of you are typing this on a thousand dollar machine, have a several hundred or more invested into a gaming system , accesories, games and have a monthly cell phone bill around $40 bucks. You obviously care about the Halo Universe and it's games because you religiously are visiting a website made by the games creators. Actions speak louder than words , if you don't want to pay - DON'T . Then they might make them free (sooner ), In this case I don't think Bungie or even Microsoft is getting your hard earned quarters but Certain Afinity, remember the company that's makin the maps ?!? I don't do my job for free ,so why should they. As far as making them available for original owners I say hats off that cool, more potential dead bodies. Why would anyone even post about an update without reading it ?? April 17. my 2 cents[/quote] First off...I am typing this on a $400 piece of equipment which runs better than the majority of peoples computers...with the exception of Alien computers. Secondly...calm down. Its a forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion on forums. You are complaining about people complaining which is kind of stupid. And thirdly...let the people who keep asking do what they want...it will only show the fact they are illiterate and just dont feel like reading so make them feel even more stupid.

I usually don't input any of my thoughts on the forums or discussions. The reason is because I agree with Roadus and several others on their opinions about how people post without reading (and comprehending) the contents of the updates. They are updates to update you. Read into the updates and get yourself updated and stop asking retarded questions that several other have asked in front of you that you didn’t see because you didn’t bother to read what others posted or comprehend the update. They are informational outlets for bungie to disseminate info on a level to keep you informed to a certain level without spoiling the whole thing. And they are voluntary updates by bungie. Enjoy them and keep your imagination alive about what is to come from bungie. Oh, and -blam!- all of you who are too cheap to spend $4 on a couple of maps. Certain Affinity deserves every bit of what they get from the costs of the maps for their efforts to bring back two classics that bungie stated would never be recreated for halo 2.

nearly had me going. i rekon bungie should highlight or bold dates and prices of things in the future so there arent 11 pages of "when are the maps coming out and how much are they?" posts

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mofo420 u ever heard of microsoft points?they can be purchased at any videogame retailer.eb,babbages,bestbuy,wallmart,u do not need a credit card [/quote] Just So you know, you will not be using microsoft points for this download. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bungie Because of that, we can’t use Xbox Live Marketplace – it obviously doesn’t exist on the old Xbox. So this will be one of the last times you use a credit card proper to buy a map. In the Halo 2 game interface, you simply select the download option from the main interface, and it will show the new content there. This likely won’t ever be available on a disc, like the last maps, so this is your only method for the moment. These maps could in theory be made free eventually, like last time, but the truth is that we’ll have moved on to Halo 3 by then and it won’t be a priority. So don’t hold your breath. If you don't have a credit card, simply buy a $4 Visa gift card at a supermarket. Bam[/quote] i really like the look of the new maps,especially derilect i even got my old halo copy out to play some on these maps for the next few weeks to see the differences and such.

Tee-hee! (That was a manly tee-hee.)[/quote] Too Bad you cant read the article or you would know they come out on both consoles.
