Halo 2 Requires Use of New Maps for Matchmaking

As we all know, the Halo 2 Blastacular Map pack did not download the way it should have. Now, Bungie has released a statement saying that in order to have any kind of matchmaking in Halo 2, you must have the new maps in order to do so.

Talk about holding one balls to the flame. I guess I can kiss Team Slayer goodbye because I am not buying these maps after playing this game for four years. At least they left Double Team alone. (sweet)

I wanted to play some Team Slayer with a friend, but don't want to have to buy the new maps.

[MoonDust]

I could still play but not some of the gametypes.

...DESERVES to get screwed over. There are a TON of great games you could be playing until HALO 3 comes out, rather than playing a 3 y.o. game to death.

Bungie is teabagging halo 2 fans hardcore! sux 4 them

[THWIP]

A true Halo fanboy, will always roll over, and take those nuts right in the mouth, tongue first ; they love ANYTHING Bungie shoves in their faces. ;)

lol

For anyone who missed it, these maps will soon be downloadable for free as well. They're only "required" if you just have to play in the affected playlists right this moment.

but its all the best game modes and my personal favorite SWAT i used to love that

How is this news? I thought everyone would have known this already. Dumb, I thought people were saying we want new Maps!!!! Guess you can roll over when you have to spend a little money, wow how cheap you can be. I love the comments though, very vulgar to say the least sounds like your acting like kiddies again.

[WilliamRLBaker]

isn't this the way its all ways been? Last time i checked when the past maps we're released matchmaking couldn't be played without them after a few weeks.

Wow, quit moaning. The maps cost a whopping 4 freaking dollars. If you don't have 4 dollars to spare, maybe you should stop playing games and get a friggin' job. These maps are the most fun out of any on halo 2 right now anyway. Besides, if halo 2 is still the game you are playing the most and you own a 360 you deserve to be b1tch slapped with my pimp hand.

[grifter024]

I still play Halo2 and I have a 360.. Guess I need to be slapped. What an idiotic comment, I dont really see why I shouldnt be playing halo2 anymore. I play DOA4,FEAR,Condemned but I still play halo2.. I dont know why you say you need to "Slap people with your pimp hand" Dumb very dumb indeed..

[slugg]

That still, no matter what, I CANT download the new maps for some reason-- it just won't work. I've updated my credit card information, tried calling Microsoft, sent emails to Bungie and Xbox Live, and nothing. I called 1-800-4my-xbox the other day while trying to get the download to work, did everything the guy on the phone told me to, still nothing, and he gave up and hung up on me. To ME, it seems ridiculous that I WANT TO GIVE THEM MY MONEY but they wont help me do so. At least, based on my experience with the map pack, I was able to make some money betting friends the Halo 3 Beta would be fu(ked up too... sometimes it sucks being right, but I made $15.00

If you had read my comment you would have noticed that I qualified my statement. I said if halo 2 is the game that you are playing the MOST on the 360. I myself still play halo 2 and enjoy it, but it is far from being the game I play the MOST. I never said you should not be playing halo 2. In this case you should be slapped for having poor reading comprehension skills.

Oh, and Midnighter is so much cooler than Grifter. J/K

[grifter024]

Yes and I still play it more then most of the 360 games, I dont have bad comprehension skills like you think I do, I knew what you said and that is why I commented. Good job seems like you don't know how to comprehend the question good job though you get point;s for trying. Plus mid might be better to you but grifter has a better girl that left him then got back with him . Complicated but cool.

WTF????
