Re: Bungie and the H2 Maps splitting MM (politics)

In Response To: Bungie and the H2 Maps splitting MM (politics) (FyreWulff) : http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=10244052&postRepeater1-p=3 : Two posts down, Jeremiah talks about how Bungie is apparently still trying to : get Microsoft to release the new maps for the original Xbox as well as the : 360. : But, he also hints at the fact that these new maps might not be limited to : just one playlist, as with Team Preview - they may be present in most of : them, shutting out Xbox players from all of those playlists. : Honestly, I'm sort of the opinion that if we're going to have to go through : all this BS just over new maps, Bungie shouldn't have commisioned them at : all. Either that, or I feel like starting some sort of letter writing : campaign to the Microsoft offices (does anybody have an idea of the : office/address I should be writing to?) asking them politely to consider : all the people that bought Halo 2 for the Xbox. The only upside that I can see for this is that forcing everyone to jump to the 360 will effectively eliminate modding, although I am not sure about bridging and standbys. The downside for a lot of hardcore players is that the Original Xbox remains the platform of choice for MLG purposes for various reasons (maybe 3Suns can elaborate why this is so?). All I can say is, if they are going to funnel everyone onto the 360, at least give us some tangible news on the 65nm processor. If they (read: Microsoft) hope that they can sell off their inventory of soon-to-be-obsolete 90nm 360's, then personally I believe this will turn their market negative (not that anyone at MS cares about what I think lol). Now considering a dual one-two-punch release of the brand new maps *with* a new 65nm Xbox360, well..Thats not such a bad approach.
