halo 2.
the auto-update goes out today, fixing glitches, cheating, and making some changes to weapons for better balance. among them, grenades are stronger with shorter fuses, pistols don’t auto-aim quite as much, and melee is stronger. Also the ranking system is getting changed a bit to spread out the skill levels so that a one level increase in rank isn’t as great a change as it currently is.
Full list of changes here.
the first two new maps should be released before the end of april, along with new playlists, plus a reset of player stats to take into account all the changes.
Later that day
– and when I said “the end of april” i meant next monday April 25th. The first two map packs are going to be released then. The Bonus Pack (consisting of Warlock and Containment) will be free, and the Killtacular Pack (consisting of Turf and Sanctuary) will be $5.99.
On June 28th the DVD with all 9 maps gets released, and the same day, the Killtacular Pack is made free. I believe the other 5 maps will be released as premium content on this day as well.
Still no date on when those last 5 maps will be made free.
Here are the details
Nay, we are but men. ROCK!
