Matchmaking, New Halo 2 Maps, and You
Wow, this is a little worrying... FyreWulff pointed out a thread on Bungie.net discussing the new Halo 2 maps coming out soon - Jeremiah mentioned that these maps would likely be incorporated in a significant number of playlists - and (at least at this point in the developments) those playlists would no longer be available to people playing on the original Xbox. Jeremiah makes it clear that 1) they (Bungie) are doing what they can to make the maps available to everyone, not just 360 owners, but that 2) statistics show that the majority of Halo 2 players on Xbox Live are using 360s, so limiting the new maps (which they'll have to purchase) to just a playlist or two would be unfair. (Of course, effectively blocking Xbox owners from Halo 2 Matchmaking seems a little unfair as well - and I'm not just saying that as someone who plays XBL on an original Xbox.) In Jeremiah's words, "Please don't enter panic mode just yet, we're trying to make this work for everyone as much as possible." They're doing what they can, and when we know more about this, we'll post it. (Louis Wu 11:59:50 UTC)
