Old maps get fresh polish for Halo 2 E-mail

A pair of popular game maps for the original Halo: Combat Evolved have been "reimagined" for Halo 2.

Hang 'Em High returns as Tombstone, bolstering the popular catwalks and trenches with "all-new graphics, features and a few hidden surprises."

Desolation is a reincarnation of Derelict "[w]ith new graphics and effects and a massive gameplay overhaul".

The two maps will be released on 17 April as premium downloadable content for Xbox and Xbox 360, priced at $US4 for the pair.

Microsoft's announcement described the new maps as "a perfect way to thank fans for their support as they surpass 800 million hours of Halo 2 gaming on Xbox Live." We suspect many Halo fans would consider the company's thanks more gracious if the maps were to be released free of charge.

Halo 3 is expected to debut around six months.{moscomment}
