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]] subscribers (however, this disc was released before the release of [[Desolation]], [[Tombstone]], and [[Halo 2 (Xbox) 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]].  


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.
==Features==
''[[Halo 2]]'' in-game content and Maps:


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]]''.

*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.
