Posted by Zonk on from the more-places-to-cause-pain dept.

Gamespot.com has word that the first set of new Halo 2 maps will be available for download on April 25th, with a second set being made available on June 28th. From the article: "The two free maps are titled Containment and Warlock. Containment is a massive level blanketed with snow, and Warlock was influenced by the Halo: Combat Evolved map Wizard. The Killtacular Pack will include Turf and Sanctuary, and it will sell for $5.99."

    You may not like the Counter-Strike gameplay, but boy, giving the SDK away does WONDERS to increase the amount of content. It's not just Source -- there are some good things for Doom 3 and UT'04 as well.

    But, naturally, on a console, you get a tiny little trickle of upgrades and maps, all "official".

    I'm sorry, but if you've got the hardware, HL2 is just a better deal.

    Half-Life 2, for $50, gets me:
    - five or ten great games
    - free online gameplay
    - free upgrades
    - two official maps a month
    - custom content
    - custom servers
    - new games

    Halo 2, for $50 + $5/mo, gets me:
    - one great game
    - online gameplay (not free)
    - upgrades (not free)
    - two official maps every six months

    So, for now, I'll just borrow my friend's xbox now and then.
