It's true! here's the digest version: Two new maps, both available on April 17th through the Halo 2 downloader in the game itself, and it's just $4 for the pair.The maps ar Tombstone and Desolation - remakes of Hang 'Em High and Derelict, respectively.

Go look at 'em right now: New Halo 2 Map Shots!

It's an original Xbox download, so there's no way to use MS points - and you WILL need an Xbox Live Gold account to download and play, since the original Xbox (even in BC mode) can't tell the difference between gold and silver. But you CAN use these on 360, just so we're clear. You just need to use a credit card for the purchase, instead of marketplace points. We'll have LOTS more info in the update later today, and in the meantime, here's the full text of the press release:


HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER MAPS REVEALED

Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today confirmed the upcoming release of two new, eagerly awaited downloadable maps for “Halo® 2.” The maps will be available as premium downloadable content for Xbox® and Xbox 360™ on April 17.

Fans of the original “Halo” have long requested the addition of some of their favorite maps to the critically acclaimed multiplayer experience of “Halo 2.” These re-creations, developed by Bungie and Certain Affinity Inc., are a perfect way to thank fans for their support as they surpass 800 million hours of “Halo 2” gaming on Xbox LIVE®.

The two maps will bring new life to ancient battlefields and legendary skirmishes, as both are new, improved and redesigned remakes of fan favorites from the original “Halo: Combat Evolved.” For the price of $4 for the pair, these maps bring a fresh burst of action to the seminal “Halo 2” online multiplayer experience. Both of the maps will be available through the “Halo 2” in-game content downloader for both Xbox and Xbox 360.*

The king of “Halo” maps has returned at last. Hang ’Em High, arguably the most popular multiplayer map for the original title, has been reimagined for “Halo 2” as Tombstone, with all-new graphics, features and a few hidden surprises. Now fans will enjoy the dangerous catwalks and trenches that made this the most requested “Halo” multiplayer map ever, with a modernized “Halo 2” flavor.

The second map, Desolation, is a symmetrical, Deathmatch-oriented map and a beautiful remake of the original Derelict. With new graphics and effects and a massive gameplay overhaul, the old favorite is now faster-paced and more balanced than ever — perfect for intense “Halo 2” combat.

4 bucks? That's cheap! Especially for Hang Em' High and Derelict remakes, arguably two of my favorite Halo 1 maps!

I may have to blow every inch of dust off my Halo 2 disc and get warmed up again. This is pretty kick ass if you ask me. Sure, it's Halo 2, and anyone that knows me knows that I'm not nearly of a big fan of Halo 2 compared to Halo 1, but, I still think this will definately keep me pumped up ready and waiting for Halo 3.

I haven't even played my XBox 360 for a long time now only because I've been traveling a lot and I have been so busy. My company launched our new brand and it takes a lot of long hours. This definately got me pumped up to start playing again, though!

anyway, don't be surprised if this is an April Fool's joke. I don't trust any big news around April 1st. For this, just wait and see and try not to get overly excited.

That's exactly what I meant! Halo 1 is just waaaay too good to figure out my favorite two maps...definately Hang 'Em High has got to be my favorite - my second favorite is tough - I really like Derelict, but, Prisoner is sweet, Chill Out is, too....So, yes! I had to argue with myself!!!!

Chiron was fun when playing King of the Hill....I always like it for that...other than that, I rarely played it. Boarding Action was another one that I didn't play often...but, Snipers only with the secondary being the Pistol always made it fun once in a while :)

I dunno about you guys, but I'm getting annoyed by this nickle and dime ****.. we pay for the system, the LIVE service itself, and the game, then they have the nuts to charge us for content, I say screw it. This is why I stick to PC versions like with Oblivion.. instead of paying for stuff that comes in expansions, I just pirate stuff like horse armor

This isn't a double post, just so you guys know - the one above was made a while back...

Anyway, I walked through the new Halo 2 maps. I love what they did with Hang 'Em High...it still has the Hang 'Em feel to it, which I really enjoy - now I just have to get a Custom game going since it can't be played during Matchmaking yet. I'm not quite sure when it can.

The other one that is supposed to be a remake of Derelict is kinda cool - it's going to be a definate blood bath with a lot of chaos. I guess I need to play it with a bunch of people to give a better assessment.

I can definately see a lot of good times ahead with these two new maps for Halo 2. Of course, anyone that knows me knows that I strongly prefer Halo 1, but, Halo 2 has been growing on me a lot more - especially games that don't have a lot of duel wielding.

As an aside, in Halo 3, I guess they are going to start with a weapon that isn't duel wieldable and make duel wielding a "special" thing, which should drop the duel wielding abuse to a minimum, which is great news.

I don't mind paying for them, but, it sucks to have to pay for them and then not being able to play them unless a bunch of friends are on-line playing a custom game for now. It would be cool to have made them free and circulated them into Matchmaking since Halo 2 doesn't have a server list.

Starting on April 24 you'll be required to have the new maps in order to play matchmaking, so I assume that's when they'll start implementing them into matchmaking. But I agree about the new maps, they're pretty cool, especially Hang 'Em High. I just realised I played with you last night though, I forgot that you were Ewok lol. And yes, Halo 2 isn't that bad as long as you start with something like a BR and there aren't a bunch of duel-wield whores.

Yeah, dude...I jumped into your game since you went into a Custom gametype. They were playing some wierd gametype...

I started all over with this new gamertag and am playing matchmaking for the most part. I have logged on for about 8 hours (between Team Slayer and Team Hardcore) and I made it up to a 24 so far...I used to be in the upper 30s. I saw that you were a 40! Nice work, brother Fatbox!

I used to be a 41 in Team Slayer (legitly) but since the ranks are getting reset on the 24th I've been playing Team Slayer lately. And it amazes me that people are still cheating even though in 5 days their ranks will be reset anyway, pretty stupid.

I have yet to play Tombstone (new Hang 'Em map) with any gametype. Of course, I walked through it and checked it out...finding weapon locations, etc. It looks wicked cool, IMO...I was sort of bummed to hear that it doesn't play too well even with BR starts MLG style - but hey, everytime I'll play it, it will remind me of the good times with Hang 'Em with Halo 1 :)

Yesterday I played Single Flag CTF on that map with 16 people and 8 people on each team and I'm going to say that that's probably the most fun I've ever had playing CTF in all of my Halo 2 career. That map is by far the best for CTF IMO. It was definitaly fun, I sure as hell wouldn't mind playing it again, perfect map for it.

Xbox 360 made it possible to buy a Live Account and Marketplace points without a credit card – so we apologize for the following inconvenience if you’re a 360 owner with no credit card attached to your Live account, but thanks to Halo 2’s olde school tech, this is the simplest way to do it:

Account Management

1. In the Xbox Dashboard, select the profile that you want to modify, and then select Account Management.
2. Select Memberships.
3. Select the membership that you want to update.
4. Select Change Payment Options.
5. Select Add Credit Card.
6. Enter the credit card information for the card that you want to add. This can also be a debit or Visa (or similar) gift card, however, some restrictions may apply
for 360 owners! oh yeah, be sure to actually select the card after its put in.

Thanks for the update, brother SilentFatality...I was wondering what was up. I had no problem downloading the maps, fortunately, but I was confused why not a single time the new maps popped up in matchmaking...I guess next week will be the week.

I'm not too concerned about rank anyway...I think I'm a 26 on Team Slayer and a 20 on Team Hardcore after logging in a total of 12 hours so far...I used to be in the mid to upper 30s before I changed my gamertag.

Amazes me that people are still cheating, I was playing Team Slayer on Monday because I thought the ranks were gonna get reset on Tuesday and I went down from 42 to 35 because I got stuck with de-rankers and stand-byers. I really hope after they reset the ranks there will be less cheating, it gets old.

Sidewinder is fun to me, but, I always preferred Blood Gulch, the other map with vehicles. I always preferred Hang Em High, Prisoner, Damnation, etc...smaller maps because I have never been a die hard for a map with vehicles. And, even if I played with vehicles, I only prefer Warthogs only - I can't stand Ghost Ships or Tanks (or anything else like Halo 2's Wrath's).

Man, Halo 1 is so freakin' fun...I really miss it...I just wish we could play it over XBL. The entire game physics is what I miss most. Halo 2 has grown on me dramatically since it's still the best XBL game out there, but, I really miss Halo 1. I miss playing annual LAN parties.

The only thing I hated about Halo 1 was the freakin pistol. I mean it was a good weapon to have and all but it was kinda stupid because it was way overpowered. I enjoy starting with a BR on Halo 2 anyday over starting with a pistol on Halo 1.

I couldn't agree more. The Assualt Rifle, when I first saw it, was awesome during the Campaign, I thought. But now, I always dart for the Pistol, which are few and far between in the Campaign, sadly.

And yes, the Pistol single handidly made Halo 1. It was the best overall weapon - perhaps an accident by Bungie - who knows? I loved the range that it had - and that it required good accuracy. Halo 1 was based on skill because of the Pistol because everyone had one - not based on what weapon the other guy has in Halo 2. And in no way was the Pistol the best weapon in every situation in Halo 1, of course. I mean, the Sniper was key, the Rocket Launcher was key, and the Shotgun was ruthless in Halo 1 up close.

I miss the plasma rifle's ability to freeze...man it was so fun playing Halo 1 while plastering them with plasma bullets only to put down the competitor with a hearty slap on the back of the head putting him to his death! Good times...

FatBox
05-01-2007, 01:49 PM
The BR is basically the new pistol just not as far ranged or as powerful, which is why I think Halo 2 is more balanced. Halo 2 is more about teamwork than individual skill, you want your team to have all the power weapons yet you still want to have BR's too as they are decent for a lot of situations. And I honestly think that it was good they took out the HP in Halo 2 as well because nobody ever really has an advantage or a disadvantage anymore, which means you have to use more strategy and tactics.

I dunno, I liked Halo 1 a lot but I just think that Halo 2 is more balanced in terms of weapons and map control.

Yeah, I always laugh when people bash Halo2 or complain. It was a great game and may not be matched until Halo 3 comes out.

maximus, why don't we set up a halo 1 game on XBC some time? i'd probably get my ass handed to me, but it sure would be fun.

That would be pretty fun...I haven't played on XBC for a long long long time...Maybe we could get some XBA buddies together?

I still have XBC but sadly I don't even own Halo 1 anymore. I might be able to borrow from a friend though.

halo 1 is 10 dollars new I believe, you need to own it as a piece of gaming history. maximus, whenever you want to play, shoot me a pm. can you play now?

I still cannot download the new maps. My credit card is fine, I can buy stuff on marketplace...I have never done anything illegal or modified anything at all, it's just a regular xbox360, everything is stock, why the heck am I still having a problem?

Ah....sorry, I didn't read this until now...I can't tonight...maybe Saturday if that works for you - more towards the evening. I'd love to jump on, though!

Apparently, you're not alone. I must have been one of the lucky ones that didn't have a problem. Not to rub it in or anything, but, the Hang Em remake is freakin' sick!

It's most likely a problem with Bungie. I was having trouble updating Halo 2 when the update first came out so I just used my friend's disc (because mine was all scratched up) and it worked fine. So it might even be because your disc is too scratched up.

Maps are going to be free... Pretty gay for all the people who wasted money on the maps and then never even got to play them in MM. I think they're free sometime next week.

Yeah, that is pretty crap if you ask me. But, atleast they'll be incorporated into matchmaking and people will finally get to see how sweet the new maps are (especially the new Hang Em High map - the other one - eh...it's okay).

Just trying to focus on the silver lining I guess :D
