'''Maptacular Pack''' is a downloadable content package for ''[[Halo 2]]''. It was released on July 5, 2005 for $11.99 and was made permanently free on August 30, 2005. This download is required in order to play ''Halo 2'' Matchmaking over [[Xbox Live]]. Users without Xbox LIVE can receive these maps along with others by buying the [[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack]] from stores.


The Maptacular Pack was originally the final piece of DLC intended for ''Halo 2'', though a fourth - the [[Blastacular Pack]] - was later released in early [[2007]].
The Maptacular Pack added the following maps to ''Halo 2'':

Set on the {{UNSCShip|Onan}}, a [[freighter]] in orbit of [[Earth]], Elongation is a remake of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' map [[Longest]]. The map is small and symmetrical.
*The Maptacular Pack is currently the largest Halo DLC yet in terms of maps. However, both the Heroic Map Pack and the Legendary Map Pack are larger than it in terms of memory used.
