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 (map)|Installation 04]], the first [[Firefight]] map with friendly AI assistance, is also included.

In July of [[2017]], the Anniversary map pack - like all other [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' title DLC - was made available to download for free.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-summer-celebration|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Summer Celebration}} All Anniversary pack content is included in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.
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}}
