Two New Maps For Halo 2
Techtree News Staff, Apr 02, 2007 1800 hrs ISTMicrosoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios have confirmed the release of two new maps with all-new graphics and a few hidden surprises.
Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios have confirmed the upcoming release of two new, eagerly awaited downloadable maps for Halo 2.
This move comes as a result of the request from the fans of the original 'Halo' for the addition of some favorite maps to multiplayer 'Halo 2.' The company believes that these re-creations, developed by Bungie and Certain Affinity are a perfect way to thank fans for their support as they surpass 800 million hours of 'Halo 2' gaming on Xbox Live.
According to the company, the two maps will add 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.
The king of Halo maps, the 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. It will offer fans dangerous catwalks and trenches which makes it the most requested map ever.
The second map, Desolation, is a symmetrical, Deathmatch-oriented map and a beautiful remake of the original Derelict. With new graphics, effects and a massive gameplay overhaul, the old favorite is now faster-paced and more balanced than ever; perfect for intense Halo 2 combat.
Halo 2 is a sequel to the highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo: Combat Evolved and represents the second chapter in the epic Halo trilogy. Since its launch in fall 2004, Halo 2 has maintained its place as the most popular Xbox Live title ever. Gamers are now eagerly awaiting Halo 3, which is scheduled for release this fall.
Both maps will be available through the Halo 2 in-game content downloader for both Xbox and Xbox 360 at a price of $4 for the pair on April 17.
