Tombstone

The map was designed by video game company Certain Affinity.

Tombstone is a remake of the map Hang 'Em High from Halo: Combat Evolved.

Background
Tombstone has numerous significant discrepancies between itself and the Halo: Combat Evolved Multiplayer map, Hang 'Em High, including explosive Fusion Coils, 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.

Gameplay
Tombstone features a similar weapon set as Hang 'Em High. Tombstone spawning weapons are unique in two ways; It is the only map where the primary spawning weapon is the Battle Rifle, and 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 on a platform 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.

Trivia

 * A picture of the original Hang 'Em High is in the control room.
 * A box with a picture of the M6D Pistol can be seen on a crate that's behind the right side of the fence that is stretched over the water trench in the middle of the map.
 * The destroyed city of Mombasa can be seen in the distance, and the map itself feels similar to the area of Voi.
 * Tombstone is the only map in Halo 2 to have 8 territories, the games limit. This includes Sword spawn, blue base, red base, red bunker, blue bunker, center, command center and the section of blue base where a ramp with a large piece of sheet metal covering it is.
 * Even though this is the official remake of Hang em' High, many people will not call it as such because of some rather large differences. The main one being that the structure is on earth, but the original was on a Halo installation.  The large ramp of the original, considered by many to be the "centerpiece" of battle, was also shaved down and replaced almost entirely by an air lift.  The lack of certain elements make it so that many won't accept it as a true remake.  The same can be said about Desolation and its differences to Derelict.
 * Tombstone was added to Halo 2 in the Blastacular Pack.
 * Tombstone is exclusive to the Xbox version of Halo 2 which is backwards compatible on Xbox 360. It is not available for the Halo 2 Windows Vista.
 * This map was used to represent Caboose's mind in episode 100 of the popular machinima series, Red vs. Blue, Church commented that "Man, this place has REALLY gone to hell..."
 * The facility was most likely destroyed during the events of Halo 3.
