HaloŽ 2 fans on Xbox LiveŽ rejoice! You can complete your copy
of the ground-breaking expansion pack by downloading the final
five action-packed multiplayer maps via Xbox Live on July 5
for just U.S. $11.99. And, if you missed the first four, don't
worry: The Killtacular (now free) and Bonus Map (free thanks
to Mountain Dew) downloads are just a click away.
Gemini: Hovering in space and towering above the lights of High
Charity, Gemini is meant as a refuge for meditation by senior
prelates in the Prophet hierarchy. The core layout of Gemini
is based on the classic Duality map from Bungie Studios' Marathon
series. As a fairly small map, Gemini is excellent for games
of Slayer with a few friends.
Relic: Evidence of battle is scattered across the sun-baked
sands of a lonely island. A crashed Albatross Dropship spills
wreckage and material onto the wind-scoured beach like an eviscerated
seal, while shield formations, vehicle detritus, and combat
platforms litter the field. Relic is a medium-sized map designed
primarily for one-flag Capture the Flag (CTF) and Assault game
types.
Elongation: You don't have to scratch too far beneath the surface
to find the foundation of Elongation—it's a reworked version
of the original HaloŽ: Combat Evolved map Longest. Set amidst
an orbiting space station, Elongation provides a stunning view
of Earth along with close-quarters face-to-face action. A constantly
moving conveyor belt offers some interesting tactical opportunities
for small games of CTF or Assault.
Terminal:Terminal was once a place where the leisure classes
gathered, enjoyed lunch, shopped, and met friends. Those halcyon
days are now just a memory, and while this sector of New Mombasa
remains unscarred by explosion or burning plasma, it's still
filled with danger. Terminal is a large asymmetrical map designed
primarily for medium to large games of one-flag CTF and Assault,
but it also works great for large games of Team Slayer. During
the intense battles, players will do well to stay clear of the
tracks.
Backwash: Veiled in mist and alive with the chattering of unseen
fauna, Backwash is a sodden valley in a seemingly boundless
swamp. Forerunner technology, illuminated by eerie light, still
hums with life. This medium-sized map draws inspiration from
the swamp level in the originalHalo campaign and works great
for Slayer variants.
See you in-game!
