Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios have revealed two new downloadable multiplayer maps for Halo 2 that will be available as premium downloadable content for Xbox and Xbox 360.
About new Halo 2 maps:
- 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 concealed surprises. Now fans will take pleasure in 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 gorgeous 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.
These new maps will bring new life to primordial battlefields and famous clashes, as both are new, enhanced and redesigned remakes of fan favorites from the original “Halo: Combat Evolved.” The two new Halo 2 maps have been developed by Bungie and Certain Affinity Inc and will be released on April 17, 2007. The maps are priced at $4 (approx. Rs. 180).
So what, if you have to wait for the Halo 3 until Autumn 2007, there is always Halo 2!
