This map features a weapon new to gameplay, but has already been in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'' and ''[[The Art of Halo]]'': the [[M7S SMG]]. The M7S is a standard [[M7 SMG]] with a suppressor attached to the barrel, making it less noisy and reducing muzzle flash. It also has a laser sight.

==Trivia==
Example is one the smallest maps in any ''Halo'' game. The map is so small that it barely fits two players, making it a map of "spawn killing" chaos when it is played with an excessive number of players.
*This is the only multiplayer map included with ''Halo 2'' Vista which is not considered a "real" map.
 
*The design of the map is similar to the interior of the [[Forerunner]] structure from [[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]] with the only difference being the energy bridges being replaced with ones made of solid matter.
==Production notes==
*The M7S' laser sight tends to be inaccurate and is just a small red line on the wall. It usually doesn't point at the spot where the bullets will land.
While Example was shipped with ''Halo 2'' Vista, several [[Cut Halo 2 levels#Halo 2 for Windows Vista map editor examples|similar maps]] were intended to ship alongside it but didn't make the cut, with one such map even including the Suppressed SMG.

*The M7S is later used in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' as a primary weapon to replace the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[BR55HB battle rifle|battle rifle]], and the laser sight is no longer visible other than on the gun itself, which instead uses a scope function. The weapon would later appear in the multiplayer and forge components of ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''.

Example is a custom-made map included in Halo 2 for Windows Vista's built-in map editor as an example of what players can do when making their own maps. It isn't technically an actual map, but it is included in the game's map editor files by default. It can be acquired by installing the Halo 2 Vista Map Editor.

Overview[edit]

Layout[edit]

Example consists of a single large room of Forerunner construction, divided into two halves by a lower dividing wall. The map has two floors, with each side consisting of a walkway on the upper floor overlooking the lower areas, which are connected by a tunnel in the middle of the map. Each base has a machine gun turret, and the map overall is littered with dozens of Fusion coils.

The map is notable for containing several weapons not typically found in Halo 2 multiplayer by default, being the only map to spawn the Fuel Rod Gun by default. Of particular note, the map features a weapon previously cut from Halo 2's original release - the Suppressed SMG.

Example is one the smallest maps in any Halo game. The map is so small that it barely fits two players, making it a map of "spawn killing" chaos when it is played with an excessive number of players.

Production notes[edit]

While Example was shipped with Halo 2 Vista, several similar maps were intended to ship alongside it but didn't make the cut, with one such map even including the Suppressed SMG. Two of the three maps were later released for free download from the halomaps.org website run by Dennis Powers.[1][2]
