Tombstone along with Desolation are brand new multiplayer maps for Halo 2. They are remakes of Hang 'Em High and Derelict. The map was designed from the groud up by video game company Certain Affinity.

Desolation has an entirely new setting. Rather than a facility of some kind in deep space, as Derelict was, Desolation is located on Delta Halo. The architecture appears to be of Forerunner origin and looks similar to the structures seen on Delta Halo in Campaign.

It features a similar weapon set to its precursor, but adjusted to account for Halo 2's different arsenal. For example, the Assault Rifle spawn is replaced by a Battle Rifle.

Desolation also has certain structural differences between itself and Derelict. The Teleporters have been replaced by Gravity lifts that propel players from the ground to upper level. However, the tunnels on the upper level have not been replaced by ramps that lead down the the ground level, as *Bungie said in a Weekly Update.
