Editing Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack

{{Era|H2|RW|}}
{{cleanup}}
The '''[[Halo 2]] Multiplayer Map Pack''' was a downloadable content collection, but not technically an expansion pack, to ''[[Halo 2]]''. The 20 USD downloadable content collection set was released on July 5, 2005. It is the solution for the downloadable maps and Auto-Updates for non-[[Xbox Live]] subscribers (however, this disc was released before the release of [[Desolation]], [[Tombstone]], and [[Halo 2 (Xbox) Auto-Updates|Auto-Updates 4 and 5]] and therefore does not include them). It contained nine additional [[Multiplayer|multiplayer maps]], three Auto-Updates and five videos. This disc was for use on the original [[Xbox]] console, but is now backwards compatible on the [[Xbox 360]]. 

==Features==
''[[Halo 2]]'' in-game content and Maps:

*[[Halo 2 (Xbox) Auto-Updates|Xbox live Auto-Update 1, Auto-Update 2 and Auto-Update 3]]

*New multiplayer maps: 
**[[Containment]]
**[[Warlock]]
**[[Sanctuary]]
**[[Turf]]
**[[Backwash]]
**[[Elongation]]
**[[Gemini]]
**[[Relic]]
**[[Terminal (Level)|Terminal]] 
Other content:

*'''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''' - A three minute ''[[Halo 2]]'' side-story cutscene about a squad of marines stranded near Old Mombasa.
*'''Halo 2: Killtacular''' - A documentary on how [[Bungie Studios]] made the nine maps included on this disc.
*'''[[Halo E3 2000 Trailer|Halo: Combat Evolved E3 2000 trailer]]'''
*''[[Halo 2]]'' August 2002 announcement trailer.
*A very comical audio test video  used for testing your surround sound set-up (This video was also in '''Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition'''). An updated version is included in the Halo: Essentials included in ''Halo 3 Legendary Edition''.

==Trivia==

*On [[Xbox 360]] the map pack does not always work. You may have to wait for the maps to download from the game itself.
*Spawning times vary when playing online.
*When inserting the disc on Original Xbox, you will sometimes get the DVD error message (''You need to connect a DVD Playback Kit receiver to a controller port to watch movies.'')
*No map pack was released for [[Halo 2 Vista]] because the game already included all the maps except for two which were replaced by two other exclusive maps. 
*In the surround sound test video, one may notice that the Grunt and Hunter shown are actually the Halo: Combat Evolved models rather than their Halo 2 models.

+''[[Halo 2]]'' in-game content and Maps:
-The disc does not allow the player to play ''Halo 2'', only installing the map and update content to the console's internal hard drive. As such, a regular copy of ''Halo 2'' is still required to play the content. A similar disc, ''[[Halo 3: Mythic]]'', was later released for ''[[Halo 3]]''.
