The '''Anniversary Map Pack''' was the third DLC [[map pack]] released for ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The map pack was released on [[2011#November|November 15, 2011]] on Xbox LIVE for 1200 Microsoft Points, as well as being bundled with ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' as a download code.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2011/11/09/The-Halo-Bulletin-11911-.aspx The Halo Bulletin: 11/9/11]</ref> The maps are also available on the disc of ''Halo: Anniversary'' itself, serving as its multiplayer component. The Anniversary Map Pack includes seven new [[List of Achievements for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Achievements]], with a total of 250 Gamerscore. Unlike the achievements released with the [[Noble Map Pack|Noble]] and [[Defiant Map Pack|Defiant]] map packs, these achievements can only be unlocked while playing on Anniversary maps.

A collaborative effort between [[343 Industries]] and [[Certain Affinity]], the map pack includes six remastered [[multiplayer]] maps from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]''. The maps have been optimized for ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer, with changes in layout, weapon availability, and vehicle selection. A [[Forge]] variant completely identical to the original iteration is also available for each map. [[Installation 04 (level)|Installation 04]], the first [[Firefight]] map with friendly AI assistance, is also included.  

It should be noted that if one downloads the map pack to ''Halo: Reach'', the exact remake of each map will be absent; only the "remastered" versions will be present. The missing maps can be downloaded normally from the player's temporary history.{{citation needed}}

However, they was cut before release due to time and resource constraints, and were instead featured via the [[Spartan dolls Easter egg|doll]] Easter egg.<ref>[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35044917&postcount=8270 '''NeoGAF''' Halo |OT| HaloGAF Evolved]</ref>
