Template:Ratings Template:Game Info Box 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 Auto-Updates 4 and 5 and therefore does not include them). It contained nine additional multiplayer maps, three Auto-Updates and five videos. This disc was for use on the Xbox game console, but is backwards compatible on Xbox 360.

- Spawning times vary when playing online.
- When inserting the disc on Original Xbox, you will sometimes get the DVD error message (You need to connect a DVD Playback Kit receiver to a controller port to watch movies.)
