Template:New Content The Anniversary Map Pack will be the third DLC map pack to be released for Halo: Reach. The map pack will be released on November 15, 2011 on Xbox LIVE for 1200 Microsoft Points, as well as being bundled with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary as a download code.[1] The maps are also available on the disc of Halo: Anniversary itself, serving as its multiplayer component. The Anniversary Map Pack includes seven new Achievements, with a total of 250 Gamerscore.

A collaborative effort between 343 Industries and Certain Affinity, the map pack include 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, the first Firefight map with friendly AI assistance, is also included.
