Even though I don't mind waiting for it to be free on live, I think I'll end up buying the disk for the hell of it. The maps do look pretty sweet, even though it seems like there's a bit of image manipulation on em.

hooray.

    I get free maps for my games too; except they're made by people AND the companies and they are more numerous. Aah, PCs <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Keep your completely useless comments out of this thread, you stupid zealot.

    I'm just happy there's a new urban map for me to blast the Warthog round. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    In order to be strong enough to kill the cyborgs, the guns must recoil much more. Ad infinitum.

    QFT.

    And this from a (former) huge Halo fan (because, you know, Halo 2 completely ruined it).

    Also because, you know, you have to pay for them in order to get them early. Making them not free. But that's not the main reason I'm sure.

    The needler is bloody dangerous when used right, and the plasma pistol is at least fifteen times worse than it was in halo 1 <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The Needler is definitely a lot better than it was in Halo, but that doesn't stop Halo 2 from being lame because there's no Live coop or minigun. Or Flamethrower.

    Normally I'd say they ARE free even though you're paying for X-Box live, because we pay for stuff like internet but say that game patches are free. But really, these maps wont all be free until a while.

    "The retail version of the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack carries a suggested retail price of $19.99 (U.S.)"

    Retail version? They're going to bung 2 whole maps on a disc and sell it?

    The SplinterCell Pandora Tomorrow maps (Mall and Bank) were like $5!
    (But they weren't retail - they were downloadable... and they took ages!)

    The retail version will have 9 maps. All 9 maps will be released as Live downloads as well, but staggered (4 in two weeks or so, of which 2 are free, and the other 5 in a few months). There'll also be some documentaries and things on the retail disc.

    Maybe on the CD they'll offer an explanation on what they were doing the entire time they could've put in Live Coop or an ending, Penny Arcade-style.
