The '''''Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack''''' is a [[downloadable content]] collection for ''[[Halo 2]]''. The $19.99 downloadable content collection set was released on July 5, [[2005]], and serves to allow players access to several DLC multiplayer maps without requiring the use of [[Xbox LIVE]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=5727|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Multiplayer Map Pack Released!|D=06|M=10|Y=2020}} The pack includes the [[Bonus Map Pack|Bonus]], [[Killtacular Pack|Kiltacular]] and [[Maptacular Pack|Maptacular]] map packs' content for a total of nine new levels - though does not include the maps [[Desolation]] and [[Tombstone]] due to the [[Blastacular Pack]] releasing in [[2007]].

The pack also includes [[Halo 2 Auto-Updates]] 1, 2 and 3 and several videos alongside a [[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual|manual]] that goes into detail on the lore, layout and development of the maps included. The disc was produced for the original [[Xbox]] console, but is also [[Backward compatibility|backwards compatible]] on the [[Xbox 360]], and is also included in the ''Halo Triple Pack'' alongside ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''Halo 2''. The Map Pack was not made available for [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|the ''Halo 2'' PC port]] due to the pack's content being included in the release by default.

The disc does not allow the player to play ''Halo 2'', only installing the map and update content to the console's internal hard drive. As such, a regular copy of ''Halo 2'' is still required to play the content. A similar disc, ''[[Halo 3: Mythic]]'', was later released for ''[[Halo 3]]''.

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|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]].
