New Halo 2 Maps.

[Solid Snake]

Here is a link to the bungie site giving details on 4 of the new maps:
Bungie.net New Maps
These 4 maps will be available via XBox live in late April, 2 will be free and 2 you will have to pay for. They will also be on the $19.99 disk available in May.

The pictures are way to big to put on the board so here are direct links to the screen shots. Pretty impressive.
Containment
Warlock
Sanctuary
Turf

Awesome. I can't wait for the cheat fixes... I'm getting really tired of all the cheaters.

"warlock" reminds me of old Turok multiplayer maps.

Cool as that might be, it's still disapointing to see that only 2 are free, and that you have to drop cash for the others. Although, that was expected. Especially after seeing how much content was left out "to not have to prolong the release" of the game. I call bullsh*t on Microsoft, but I'll be getting the maps, being the big hypocrite that I am.

If you took the time to read the press release you would see that all the maps will eventually be free.

I have taken a break from Halo 2 for a while, once these new maps come out I will be playing a lot more. They are also supposed to fix the different cheating thats been going on when the release the first 4 maps and new playlists. Cheating is probably the biggest reason I stopped playing, it will be very refreshing not to run into that anymore.

One of the playlists that I am really looking forward to is the 2 vs 2.

I did. By then most people will already have dished out the cash to play them.

If anything, Microsoft is using this as a test to see how many people are willing to dish out money for new maps. It's not enough that you have to pay 50 dollars a year for Microsoft's servers, so naturally content will cost more. I mean, Valve is making people pay for new content on Steam, and Blizzard is making people pay additional money, on top of server fees, for new content too!?!?! Right?

See, if Nintendo was smart, and if they weren't a bunch of greedy corporate whores, they would have said, "we don't want to go online because we are worried that the payment system will eventually go corrupt." Of course, that's really out of place for Nintendo.
