Tombstone

Tombstone, along with Desolation are upcoming maps for Halo 2. They are remakes of Hang 'Em High and Derelict from Halo: Combat Evolved. The map was designed from the ground up by video game company Certain Affinity.to get Tombstone and Desolation, it is 4.00$ to download.

Tombstone has several notable differences between itself and Hang 'Em High, including explosive fusion cores (pictured at right), the inclusion of background objects such as street lamps and soda machines, certain tweaks to account for Halo 2's jump height, and of course a major graphical and aesthetic overhaul.

Tombstone features a similar weapon set as Hang 'Em High. Tombstone spawning weapons are unique in two ways; 1.) It is the only map where the primary spawning weapon is the Battle Rifle, and 2.) It is the only map to have 2 starting weapons, the Battle Rifle and the SMG The map features two Overshields, one in the canal at the bottom of the map, and the other across the map from the first, inside the control room. A Rocket Launcher lies in the canal, opposite the overshield. An Energy Sword spawns at the top of the map, and the only way to reach it is by running across a long bridge that is completely exposed to sniper fire from almost anywhere on the map. Despite its power, the sword often spends entire matches untouched simply because it is too risky to retrieve. The large crane in the middle of the map sports a Sniper Rifle on top of it, savvy players can get up there quickly, grab the sniper, and rush to one of the neighboring platforms and camp there. Also, very clever players will get the rifle AND the sword, making them even tougher. There are also far more Shotguns scattered across the map than there are in Hang 'Em High.
