Im so excited about the new maps, especially Tombstone. I was so
dissapointed with the other maps because wizard was remade instead of Hang
em High, which is like my second favorite halo map of all time. About the
new support champion, i think anythign that makes shipping free and
service faster will be great. And for the Elite, i think they need to have
an upgrade option to turn in the console and harddrive and whatever else u
want to be black, and pay the extra 80 dollars. Otherwise gamers wil lhave
to return or sel their 360 and then go get an elite, and then transfer any
warranty they bought on it, if you can do that.
About the new Halo 2 maps. I really hope that the new maps come
accompanied by an update that fixes all of the shiz that’s going on with
Halo 2 on the Xbox 360. I can’t even load any of the maps and it’s
freakin’ babaming my chestnuts off! So, yeah… that’s all I’ve got to
say. Peace out benis wenis genus venus high-enis masterzzz.
Hey there guys. I’m glad that there is finally some hard detail about these
new maps. Bungie sure is guaranteeing(spelchek) Halo 2 another year of
popularity. Lets just hope these new maps live up to the hype.
And just a quick question, does anyone know if they will be released to
Halo 2 Vista as well?
on topic of the new map i have something to say. i dont think its right to
charge money for 2 new maps. i mean, its not like its a whole new game.
basically its saying that u have 2 pay money just to get into that custom
game with ur friends that are all playin on the new maps. I rather pay for
the beta than pay for the 2 new map.
Hi podtacular this is daboog I can’t wait till the new maps come.
I saw a few pictures of them and
they look really cool.
as for the new xbox 360 i’am
not so sure.
thaks for reading my letter
keep on fragen trucks!!!
I have heard things about an Easter Egg by the bridge in Hang ‘Em High and
I can confirm it.
We on purposely put in a texture glitch on it because odds Halo fans would
find superbounces anyway, when you found it you can land in a cave and in
that cave there is a giant pokemon guarding it. If you can BXR it, you
will find a pack of elites behind it singing the Easter Egg that Marty O’
Donnell made for us which goes like this:
(Sing to the theme of “Milkshake” By Kelis)
My pokemon bring all the nerds to the yard
And they’re like “Do you wanna trade cards?”
Damn right, I wanna trade cards
I’ll trade pikachu, but not charizard.
I think the two new maps are awsome looking remakes of Hang em’High and
Derilect(sp) I myself after seeing many remakes of these maps on CE, are
glad to see bungie reviving these awsome maps, I did notice though that
the remake of HHH, has a simmilar theme to the CMT map Dissoulosion, which
is a slightly smaller hang em high with halo 3 weapons, and some slight
changes.
So far there has been nothing but crappy remakes of Dereliect, and nothing
good, I’m glad to see a revival of it, that is actaully high quality
Well to start off this is my first submission to Podtacular. I’m also
brand new on the site and i am loving it. But now to what this is all
about the two new maps look AWESOME. As soon as i saw them BA BAM i almost
crapped my pants. I personally like maps like Tombstone that are more
industrialized. Its really gonna be a sweet map to play SWAT and other
gametypes in. Then there is Desolation. I’m not as excited for this as I
am for Tombstone. But one thing i did notice on Bungie was MONKEY SOUNDS
in the background.
i really like the idea of bringing back old maps, and letting everyone
experience them again, in a slightly different way…i also like how the
developers didn’t just create the same maps again, they added their
special twist. they added new passageways, new gun placements, and
improved it to seem more balanced…so it could be played with the halo 2
“improvements”. i hope that i can get xbox live soon, so i can download
them!! thanks, keep up the great work!
YES! i will buy the new maps and who would not. they are finially bringing
back some of my old favs. This should bring back thoughts of when there
was no xbox live and all your friends got together and stay up all night
playing halo.
Hey guys, im just writing in to say that i am very happy that the new halo
2 maps are coming out for both the 360 and the original xbox. I don’t
have a 360 yet, and im glad they chose to make them for both. I also
think they were smart to do this because they will make more money, and it
will encourage more online play from both 360 users and original xbox
users. However, I dont think the maps themselves are going to be what
people are expecting. The re-makes of Hang ‘em High and Derelict are
going to dissapoint fans of the original Halo 1 versions, because they
will obviously to make some necessary changes due to differences in
gameplay, such as jump height and fall damage. Bungie.net put up an
interview with the map designer with more information on this. However,
I think these two maps will be very good maps in their own right, and i am
more than willing to pay the $4 they will cost. Keep on fraggin trucks. And go rec D. – AuroraX
first off: i love that they put hang em’ high and Derelict into Halo 2.
But i wish that 360 owners could use microsoft points to buy the maps.
Because i can’t use Credit Cards and the pre-paid card idea is awesome and
most people don’t want there credit card # on the internet (that is my
parents excuse)and i was wondering if they would be free eventually? If
you guys know anything it would be awesome if you say something.
Hey guys, Arcade Wizard here. I’ve been a listener since episode 3 and recently decided to get more involved with the Podtac community again. Anyway, I for one am very stoked about these new maps. It’s nice to see that Bungie is giving us fans something to do while we’re waiting for Halo 3. It just goes to show how community driven they are and how much they care about their gamers. Thinking about playing Hang Em’ High on xbox live gives me magical tingles of excitement. Everybody and their Grandma has been waiting to play an updated version of this map since Halo 2 came out. I’ve heard that one of the changes they had to make was the player to map ratio. So basically, the map is gonna be smaller than the original version. Although, I’m sure that Bungie and Certain Affinity know what they’re doing and this change is for the better. I was never a big derelict fan in Halo 1, but I will definitely welcome any new maps with open arms. Stay magical and keep fraggin’ baby trucklings. -Arcade Wizard
im going to sell my original 360 for the elite for the hard drive and the
black finish, i think its going to be pretty diareal (thats the way you
spell it cause i basically made it up)
I think that the xbox 360 eleet is a prety cool looking idea, but I sorta
like the wite one better. The pics of the black one make it look generic.
It’s not shiny-looking or anything like that. I think it would sell more
if JBB signed every single one of them, Same goes for the PS3, but I don’t
see that happening.
P,S. I love the show.
Well for one I understand the reason why they made a new console instead
of just making a new harddrive.
1. In order to get HDMI you won’t have to send in your 360 for an upgrade
which I know NONE of you want to do.
2. If someone didn’t have a 360 but wanted the 120gb HD, the cheapeest
thing they could do would be to buy the Core system and buy the HD. Thing
is they would not get a wireless controler or the pimp chrome Disk Drive.
I my self will not buy ir right away but I may have to in a few years. I
will be going to college and of course will want to bring my 360. The
problem is it is joint owned by my 6 younger siglings as well. So I will
mostlikely have to buy a new 360 and might as well get the Elite.
And who doesn’t want a black 360?
Well, i just looked at 360 elite. The only thing i would want would be the
120 hard drive, but thats about $$200$$$, and i dont have that kinda money.
I think the black finish is kewl, but i already have a skin, so its kinda
pointless. I think if someone wants to get an xbox, and they are a serious
gamer, and they have money, then I guess that is what they should buy. I
jut wanted the hardrive to be cheaper. Thats All i have to say,
good jop podtacular keep on fraggin squirrels!!
the 360 31337
I think the 360 elite is awsome, a new larger HDD, a new color scheme that
doesn’t pop off, and a myraid of things that should of been in the 360v.1
I have also noticed that black color schemes are becoming normal in most
electronic devices, the PS, cellphones, consoles, and computers have all
evolved from beige and white
The cool thing about this is that if you buy the 120 gigabyte hardrive, it
comes with a cable and port that will allow you to transfer everything on
your old drive to the newer, bigger one. Also, I think that the black
looks wawesome (way awesome).
Shout outs this week go to Rec E. Keep on pownin’ nubs with wet towels in
[i]The Electric Company[/i] at brentopia,Zanzibar.
The Elite 360. hell just buy the the bigger hard drive and dont waste your
money. if you want a black box 360 then take the shell off and paint the
thing. and truthfully i have seen some wonderful custom painted shells for
the 360 so y go with plain black.
Hey everyone this is Marine3000
I hate me ability to not wait for stuff.
if i waited a couple a months for the elite i woulda bought it.
Wow its black, i understand the color stuff might matter to some peaople
but really, i just play the game and watch the tv not the console.
The fact that Microsoft couldnt wait to just make all the 360s this way
pisses me off. I mean it would totaly top the PS3 if they just waited a
few months. I feel horrible buying the premium package and saying to all
my online buddies “What cosnsole do you have… the core… Wow i got a
premuim you noob”
Now itll be the other way around. With the elite guys
Peace… and shout out to PODTACULAR REC D
last thing: The 360 elite is awesome but i don’t want to pay for another
360 just to get a bigger hard drive. and even if i just bought the hard
drive i wouldn’t want to redownload everything again. The black
console/controller/etc. is awesome and it would look better with my Gears
of War faceplate. This is similar to the green Halo edition XBOX 1 that i
had. Because having something different is cool.
Shoutout 2: SO s1nful, SO Eccentric, and Merc Shank who are some of the
best non-pro Halo players.
Keep on ripping Cheese, Ba Bammin, and towel slappin.
I think the disk replacement is a rip off. It costs $20 and it is only for
first party games (Gears of War, Halo 3, etc). A better alternative is
ebgames. When you buy a game there you can also purchase a 1 year plan on
your disk for $3. If your game ever stops working (or in my case you get a
bootlegged copy) you can just take it in. Most of the time they won’t even
check it they will just give youa new one.
A more devious thing you could do is if the plan is about to expire and
the disk is fine, grab a penny and get to work.
I can’t say much on this issue having not had to go through Microsoft for
360 repair yet, although I do belive this will a great improvment on their
old system and will help get gamers their consoles fixed, and sent back in
a much faster fashion, so they can get back on with their gaming, and well
gaming lives, if they are so invlined to
As I have never rely had any problems with my 360 or any other Xbox
problems, I was wondering what the new Xbox support will involve and how
it differs from the current support system.
Keep on fraggin kangaroos carrying trucks
Until next time I’m Foo Mo Jive (and this is)
