{{Article quote|This is just a small example of what you can do as a ''Halo 2'' cartographer!}}

'''Example''' is a custom-made map included in [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista]]{{'}}s built-in map editor as an example of what players can do when making their own maps. It isn't technically an actual map, but it is included in the game's map editor files by default. It can be acquired by installing the ''Halo 2'' Vista Map Editor.

==Overview==
===Layout===
Example consists of a single large room of [[Forerunner]] construction, divided into two halves by a lower dividing wall. The map has two floors, with each side consisting of a walkway on the upper floor overlooking the lower areas, which are connected by a tunnel in the middle of the map. Each base has a [[M247 general purpose machine gun|machine gun turret]], and the map overall is littered with dozens of [[Fusion coil]]s. 

The map is notable for containing several weapons not typically found in ''Halo 2'' multiplayer by default, being the only map to spawn the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] by default. Of particular note, the map features a weapon [[Cut Halo 2 weapons|previously cut]] from ''Halo 2''{{'}}s original release - the [[M7S SMG|Suppressed SMG]]. 

This map features a weapon new to gameplay, but has already been in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'' and ''[[The Art of Halo]]'': the [[M7S SMG]]. The M7S is a standard [[M7 SMG]] with a suppressor attached to the barrel, making it less noisy and reducing muzzle flash. It also has a laser sight. 

Example is one the smallest maps in any ''Halo'' game. The map is so small that it barely fits two players, making it a map of "spawn killing" chaos when it is played with an excessive number of players.

==Production notes==
While Example was shipped with ''Halo 2'' Vista, several [[Cut Halo 2 levels#Halo 2 for Windows Vista map editor examples|similar maps]] were intended to ship alongside it but didn't make the cut, with one such map even including the Suppressed SMG. Two of the three maps were later released for free download from the [[halomaps.org]] website run by Dennis Powers.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=H2VMaps|2aB_LV4byk4|Generalkidd|Halo 2 - The Unreleased Secret Maps That Almost Never Existed}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=18901|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=New H2V content at HaloMaps|D=24|M=9|Y=2021}}
