2 new HALO 2 MAPS will arrive 4/17, welcome back Derelict and Hang Em High (redux)!



Late last year BUNGIE announced that HALO 2 fans would receive 2 new maps in the Spring of this year for use on XBOX LIVE. Today Bungie announced that the maps will be released on April 17TH and will cost 4.00 for the pair! You must use a credit card as MS points cannot be used (since HALO 2 is an original XBOX game). The two new maps are titled "Desolation" and "Tombstone" which are remakes of "Derelict" and "Hang em High". I like Hang em High but I LOVE Derelict bacause the combat is all close quarters with NONE of that "wussy" Sniper crap..

The release of the new maps is BUNGIE's way of giving back to the HALO community for it's outstanding support and sparks the HALO 3 hype a little early (as if HALO 3 really needs it). All we need is the HALO 3 BETA to start and we are ALL GOOD.

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.*

BUNGIE's official release is HERE.
