Why would it take so long for them to put a few map options into an update?

Jeeze, Bungie are the slow ones! :(

I would imagine they're testing them to make sure they don't just turn out a load of unplayable game types.

 

They haven't gone far wrong in the past.

Well Jordan, my little warez whore, read the article and you would find out more!

 

During that time we work on building the spec, getting feedback from our community and internal team, building the actual files, getting the descriptions localized for all languages, testing everything on "Partnernet" (the test version of Xbox Live), hooking it up to Bungie.net and then coordinating the release with the Live team. It takes about six weeks to do all of those things while still allowing some buffer in case something goes horribly awry (like a Banshee showing up on Ascension in Team Rifles!).

 

Wtf, its asking me to write more characters..

The golf isn't a replacement for Halo, I know I played a few games yesterday, as did others. It's just a nice change of pace.

Not me, I was away. Although I was at a Thai restaurant, I think the presenter was all the waitress' idol - they all looked exactly like her!

That was awful, plain awful.

See? This is why I like you guys. You carry on the cruelty and oppression even long after I've signed off.

 

[Edit]

 

Just wanted to remind everyone that Team Hardcore is supposedly coming out today, so that might be something for us all to do later.
