With the release of ''[[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|Halo 2 Vista]]'' in 2007 came a new [[Halo Editing Kit]] toolset used to create [[modding|mods]] and custom content. On the disc was included one sample map - [[Example]] - used to show players how to work with the toolset. However, three additional maps were planned for inclusion on this disc, but were ultimately cut. | With the release of ''[[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|Halo 2 Vista]]'' in 2007 came a new [[Halo Editing Kit]] toolset used to create [[modding|mods]] and custom content.

However, three additional maps were planned for inclusion on this disc, but were ultimately cut. Dennis Powers, one of developers from [[Hired Gun]], the studio which ported ''Halo 2'', later finished the maps and uploaded them to [[halomaps.org]] under the username NiTrOuSoXiDe2k as free downloads.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=H2VMaps|2aB_LV4byk4|Generalkidd|Halo 2 - The Unreleased Secret Maps That Almost Never Existed}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=18901|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=New H2V content at HaloMaps|D=24|M=9|Y=2021}} | ||
===Earth City (human_sample)=== | ===Earth City (human_sample)=== | ||
{{ | "Earth City", known by the filename <code>human_sample</code>, serves as a small test environment similar to Example set in [[Old Mombasa]]. The map consists of a short street surrounded by buildings, with a [[Gauss Warthog]] present in the middle. The extremely small nature of the map makes it best suited for 1v1 or 2v2 play, and features weapons such as [[Battle Rifle]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|H2VMaps}} | ||
Beach Battle can be downloaded for the Windows Vista edition of ''Halo 2'' from [http://h2v.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=2137 here]. | |||
===Beach Battle (forerunner_sample)=== | ===Beach Battle (forerunner_sample)=== | ||
{{ | "Beach Battle" serves as the [[Forerunner]] counterpart to Earth City, under the filename <code>forerunner_sample</code>. The map is set on a small coastal outcropping presumably on Delta Halo, and notably features the [[M7S SMG|Suppressed SMG]] - similarly to Example.{{Ref/Reuse|H2VMaps}} | ||

===covenant_sample=== | ===covenant_sample=== | ||
{{ | A third counterpart to the two prior maps was intended, focusing on a [[Covenant]] theme similar to existing maps such as [[Midship]] and [[Gemini]]. However, it was never released by NiTr0uSoXiDe2k, so no further information is available.{{Ref/Reuse|H2VMaps}} | ||
