Halo 2 Blastacular Map Pack Released

So, Bungie released a couple new Halo 2 maps today. I figure anyone interested in these maps already knows all about them, but it not you can get more info here. Personally, I'm not going to pick up these 2 maps. I don't see a reason. I quit playing Halo 2 over a year ago. I did not even know people were still playing Halo 2. I guess if one has not been able to get an Xbox 360 yet, but they still have their Xbox they might still be playing Halo 2. Other than that I don't see anyone else playing Halo 2. I looked through my friends list (all 97 gamertags) and none of them have played Halo 2 in months. So, Bungie can't be releasing these maps because they expect to make a lot of money of off them. At $4, yes $2 per map, it seems expensive for a game that has been out for almost 2 and a half years. Why are they even still spending time making maps for Halo 2? Shouldn't they be focusing on getting Halo 3 finished? If anyone buys these maps post what you think of them in the comments.

  • These maps weren't made by Bungie. They were made by former employees from Bungie that split off and formed a new company, Certain Affinity.

    I obviously can't attest to your friend's list, but everyone on mine has played in the last month, most at least once in the last week. In my opinion, $2 each is a bargain for two classic maps.

  • Andy - Thanks for the info. Everyone on my friends list who plays FPS is playing Gears of War, Rainbow Six: Vegas, or GRAW2.

  • I think it's completely gay that you have to buy the two maps to play ranked games. I think Bungee is just making us buy it so we can play the other things. I'm not buying it. I don't really care if it affects the outcome or not. >:-(
