Personally, I&#8217;m not going to pick up these 2 maps.  I don&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t they be focusing on getting Halo 3 finished?   If anyone buys these maps post what you think of them in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Bungie released a couple new Halo 2 maps today.
