The Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack is a downloadable content collection, but not technically an expansion pack, for Halo 2. The 20 USD downloadable content collection set was released on July 5, 2005. It is the solution for the downloadable maps and Auto-Updates for non-Xbox Live subscribers (however, this disc was released before the release of Desolation, Tombstone, and Auto-Updates 4 and 5 and therefore does not include them). It contained nine additional multiplayer maps, three Auto-Updates and five videos. This disc was for use on the original Xbox console, but is now backwards compatible with the Xbox 360. It also came with a manual that went into detail about the maps included.

Trivia

No map pack was released for Halo 2 Vista because the game already included all the maps except for two which were replaced by two other exclusive maps.
