Screw that. I refuse to buy that after shelling out $60 on the limited edition, and then continuing to wait and wait for new downloads. If this is true... Bungie!!

Holy crap we had an amazing game today www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=118628841&player=Mallrat83It was me, Alex, and our buddy Jimmy on one tv, and my cuz BlueGaiden against 4 other guys. We really cleaned their clocks. I mean really cleaned their clocks. 50 to -1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 deaths by everyone!!!!!!! Me and Jimmy just drove in a warthog cutting everyone down, while Blue Gaiden and Alex sniped. Me and jimmy only changed vehicles once and the level was Coagulatoin. The only vehicle we used was the warthog too. Avg. span of life 9:15. We continued on and had a record of around 14 wins and 1 loss. Stupid Midship and shotguns, both bad things. I felt i had to impart this knowledge upon you all.

Bungie.Net has confirmed that in the upcoming update to Halo 2, a 2 Vs. 2 game type is going to be added! If done right, I could see this being very sweet...Grab a friend, and it's going down! No more idiotic teammates screwing you up in Slayer or Skirmish!
Good news!

I felt i had to impart this knowledge upon you all. Yes, what he didn't mention in that game is that I had 24 kills without dying and I wanted to snipe the last guy for an unfreakin believable. But Alex didn't want me too so he sniped the guy out of pure jealousy. Also He did not mention the game where I got paired up with two other noobs in a 3 vs 3. One of my team mates had 0 kills and 18 deaths. But did we win? Yes we did with my 37 kills. www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=118789047&player=Mallrat83The result of a level 18 playing in team training. Also the result of starting a new account and playing with noobs like Alex and JB.

[/u] www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/screenshots/H2_mp_containment.jpg A massive, mostly outdoor, and somewhat symmetrical environment set in the frozen tundra near Sentinel Wall, on Delta Halo. The icy terrain is a walled valley floor, scarred by a massive trench, running between two enormous Forerunner compounds. Each of these structures acts as a base, and each base is itself large enough to drive a vehicle around in.The bases contain a heavily fortified flag capture point which presents a tough challenge for an unorganized offense. To even the odds, it's possible to open vehicle access to these bases by activating a switch - exposed to sniper fire in the center of the map. Above this switch is the teleport exit for each base.The rapid access enabled using teleporters and vehicles means that while this is by far one of the largest Halo maps ever, it's also one with a large number of transit options, on foot or in vehicles.Caves, ridges and tunnels provide stealthy entrance to enemy bases, while the jagged central trench is a great spot to take cover. Above, the exposed, icy fields are littered with the most explosive cores in the game. Default vehicles include Hogs, Scorpion tanks and Banshees. Containment was built from the ground up, with large scale objective games in mind, especially CTF. If you like Coagulation, and were a fan of Sidewinder, you'll love Containment! WARLOCK[/u] www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/screenshots/H2_mp_Warlock.jpg Set in the rain-soaked ruins of an ancient Forerunner structure, nobody knows if Warlock is a temple, a castle or even a dwelling. What we do know is that the architecture predates the Halo itself, and that it must have been moved here, brick by brick, with obvious reverence by the Forerunners themselves. A small to medium sized map, Warlock is ideal for close-quarters fights, Slayer matches and thanks to its four way symmetry, multi-team Territories battles. Warlock's mix of obstacles and open areas makes it a perfect spot for more chaotic matches like Rockets. Sharp-eyed players may note its resemblance to the map Wizard, although it has been rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of Halo 2's new graphics and gameplay features. Warlock is filled with nooks, crannies and other hiding places, and while the ground is a warren of obstacles, it's possible to reach any other point in the map by taking the high road - a series of platforms and ramps that stretch across the map, with a temple-like center structure dominating the arena. Teleporters dot the walls allowing you to evade pursuing enemies, or take instant shortcuts across the map. TURF[/u] www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/screenshots/H2_mp_Turf.jpg[/url] The surrounding streets and evacuated buildings of Old Mombasa make it a dangerous warren, with potential assassins lurking in every shadow and around every corner. Dusty storefronts hide mazelike interiors, and narrow walkways above street level make this shadowy part of town a sniper's haven. Although it was designed primarily with Territories and CTF in mind, Turf's wildly varying situations - open streets, large buildings, narrow passageways - mean that it's surprisingly flexible. In spite of its size and complexity, the level even works well as a cat and mouse one-on-one map. Although the tight alleys and streets are initially confusing, there are plenty of vital landmarks - a downed Covenant Scarab, a makeshift Human military base and a massive warehouse, complete with huge swinging doors. Players can knock down catwalks to control ledges above the streets, and a well-parked Warthog can lay down covering fire for the team quick enough to grab it. SANCTUARY[/u] www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/screenshots/H2_mp_Sanctuary.jpg A walled grotto defines the center point of this Forerunner habitat, from which aqueducts span out, like the hands of a clock. It perfectly obscures a clear line of sight between two more robust temple buildings primarily used as Flag capture bases. The map was designed to be perfectly symmetrical and used for smaller, team based objective games, like CTF and Assault, but its size and layout also make it a perfect spot for Slayer matches and slightly more frenetic types like Territories and Oddball. The tunnels at the sides and the open areas in front of the bases make for frantic firefights and nerve-wracking chases. Stop for a moment to admire the scenery and you'll see a complicated system of waterfalls, canals and pools. Splashing water and the chirp of birds help define the sound scheme of this otherwise peaceful environment.Larger versions of these images have been added to the Halo 2 Screenshot gallery. [/quote]

It's about freaking time! I can't wait! I'm definitely buying the disc, so I can get them all immediately, and get the extra goodies too. And if you didn't catch it...Hang Em' High is not being remade for Halo 2. And the names of the other maps are... - Terminal - Relic - Elongation - Gemini - Backwash
