New Maps Coming For Halo 2

29 Mar, 2005 at 12:25am ET Article published in Tech

Microsoft Game Studios have announced that a new multiplayer map pack for Halo 2 will be available on June 28th of this year. This follows a number of unofficial announcements, including a published press release on Microsoft’s Korean version of the Xbox.com site.

The new map pack will feature nine new maps in total, and the entire package of maps will be available in stores at a recommended retail price of $19.95 on the June date. However, Xbox Live users will be able to get their hands on some of the maps for free before that date.

Bungie Studios, the developers of the Halo 2 game, have revealed on their web site that the first two free maps to be released will appear as downloads through Xbox Live towards the end of April. On the same day, 2 maps will be made available for purchase through Xbox Live.

The final five maps will be made available to Xbox Live subscribers on the same day that the retail package ships. The retail package also contains extras as well as the maps.

8 Apr 2005 ~ 12:52am primesuspect No, I want them to make them freely available online. That's not too much to ask - we've made microsoft and bungie extremely wealthy.
