Halo Multiplayer Map Pack

Ok first off, the multiplayer pack is also useless once you install/download into your xbox, execpt for the video interview which I think is not worth much. You should rather rent it a download into your xbox and return to have like a free game, but I don't really think they would do that. Anyways, the overall maps in here is ok, no super just ok. I'm a vehicle kinda guy, so I like more big maps for vehicle battles which this pack olny has like 3 or 4 vehicle maps. Others are close range shooters, those are ok but sometimes it feels a little crowded. Some of the maps in here are kinda ugly, one map like backwash or something so dark and you can't really see very well, I mean your opponent can be right in front of you and you can't notice him because its so dark. Some places are actually very fun, like the terminal. Its like the best map in here, there are ghosts, warhogs, and tanks that is very fitted into this area. The train is dosen't really kills you (for me it just damage me hella every time) unless I'm not getting a direct hit. Overall the 9 maps are pretty fun except a few. For $19 buck is kinda a lot but I kinda think its worth it, so get it its very addictive once you play it. !!!

It is worth $20!

When i first heard that Bungie was making an expansion pack for Halo 2, i was in awe because not only would it be the first expansion pack for an xbox game, secondly its Halo 2 and thats awesome. Ok as far as gameplay bungie again delivers a masterpiece, it enhances a great multiplayer game. It adds more options in multiplayer as well as more game variants in each of the new 9 stages of play. You get to experice the thrill of trashtalking your opponent in a whole new way online. The things that made Halo 2 a great game to play are that the first player shooter is amazing and secondly that the multiplayer is what brought people together to play a game many people call Halo 2. The new stages are to much to explain in full detail and besides someone already did it in these reviews. Take my word of advice or dont take it, this game is worth $20 because it adds on to a great game experience.

Waste of Money

You are nuts if you spend $20 for nine measly MP maps. Console gamers are getting ripped off if they put up with this. On the PC this map pack would have been a free download, along with countless other fan-made mods. That's all I got to say on this matter.

Not good, not good at all

The new maps are just plain horrible, save for Sanctuary and Warlock. They are nice looking but the funness stops there.

The way these maps are set up are horrible. Elongation is the worst of the bunch. The treamill style floors, the horrible boxes, and the dual sides are just plain annoying. No cover and way too much going on.

Relic is a horrible map for everything, especially sniper matches. Same thing with Gemini and Backwash. Terminal is tolerable at times as long as it's a slayer or sniper match.

The only other decent map is Turf. It's actually somewhat fun to play CTF or Bomb Assualt but anything else is just annoying.

The new maps I think are just not fun. The way they are set up just scream "leave game". It's funny, because when Elongation comes up everyone groans and complains about what a horrible level it is. Thank god the new levels are now free, they should pull this from the shelves, cause who's actually going to pay for it?

Good maps, but not complete.

All of what was written before this map is true - saying the same would just be a waste of time. Excellent maps, fun times playing on them. But this CD is not "complete" because Bungie has not yet released their remakes of Sidewinder or Hang 'em High. I doubt there will be a CD for these maps if and when they come out, which means you'll just have to download them and live without a hardcopy. Wish they were on this CD.

HOOWAH!!! More Halo for me and my friends to blow heads off, YEAH, ok I don't have the game (or an X-box for that matter) but I do play this game at my friends house and it is so cool cus Halo is the best Multiplayer ever.

Remember i'm a Gamecube guy and up till now i've been unimprest at the things that X-box has brought us, but this game gives a guy a reson for getting an X-box, and after your the Halo King of your naighberhood take it on line with X-box live.

And by the way if you do have X-box live you can download the maps. But even if you don't, it's worth every penny.

well worth the 20 bucks

this map pack makes halo 2 a better game. the update helps balance the game.( it made grenades and melee attacks stronger and made dual wielding not as effective and made the BR have perfect accuracy.)the new maps are awesome too.
my grades for maps:

Warlock- B+

Containment- A+

Sanctuary- B

Turf- A

Backwash- A- (no starting grenades!)

Relic- A

Gemini- A-

Terminal- A+++++

Elongation- A

oh and JDH, bungie wont put hang 'em high because they said that they tried it, and it was a lot worse with the new halo 2 weapons.

Great

These new maps are great. As good or better than the originals. But Warlock SUCKS, and the chance that i may get it in matchmaking online almost makes me not want to play....almost
