DLC - Whoop-de-do

I know this information is late but I just haven't had time to post it. As many of you know Bungie has released official information concerning Halo 2 download content. Their article can be read HERE.

However to make things short, there are going to be 9 new maps.

2 free maps and 2 premium (cost money) maps are going to be released in late April. The two premium maps will cost $6 (for both).

Then on June 28 the 5 remaining maps will be released. This package will cost $12.

At that same time a disk which can be bought for those without Live will be released. The disk will cost $20 and contain all the maps, an auto-update that will fix common glitches and cheats, and some extra stuff (documentaries and crap).

And by the end of summer all of this content will be available for free on Live, guaranteeing everyone can play in all the updated matchmaking playlists.

Now, for someone like me, I have taken a long break from Halo 2. With games like SC:CT and UC2 on the horizon I doubt I will get that back into Halo 2. I will buy all the content online and I will probably buy the disk for the extra stuff and just to have it. But, I must say these maps (at least from the few released screenshots) look very impressive. Especially "Turf" a barren city map. However I think Bungie is taking to long to release this. I know they want to get rid of all the glitches and make sure these levels don't turn out like every other level in the game. But by waiting for the release of such great games mentioned previously I think they might lose a lot of people. Not that it matters because there will still be millions that play.

But I will say, I am WAY more excited about Unreal than this new content.
