The '''[[Halo 2]] Multiplayer Map Pack''' was a downloadable content collection, but not technically an expansion pack, to ''[[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|Xbox Live]] subscribers (however, this disc was released before the release of [[Desolation]], [[Tombstone]], and [[Halo 2 Auto-Updates|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 on the [[Xbox 360]].

==Trivia==
==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.


*On [[Xbox 360]] the map pack does not always work. You may have to wait for the maps to download from the game itself.
*Spawning times vary when playing online.
*When inserting the disc on Original Xbox, you will sometimes get the DVD error message (''You need to connect a DVD Playback Kit receiver to a controller port to watch movies.'')
*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.
*In the surround sound test video, one may notice that the Grunt and Hunter shown are actually the Halo: Combat Evolved models rather than their Halo 2 models.
