There has been a lot of discussion whether some old Halo 1 maps (Bloodgulch, Hangem High, Sidewinder) will make it on Halo 2.

A good pro argument to include them is that many people can enjoy these multiplayer maps (who dont have Halo PC) for the first time on Xbox Live.

A good con argument to not include them is that Halo 2 is a new game with a new story, maps, features, and therefore would be in effect "going backwards" by adding "old material"

To make both people happy, Bungie can release some old multiplayer maps compatible with Halo 2 as a Free "Content Download" - Therefore, they will be optional and it wont interfere with all the new stuff in the game!
The other advantage of this is that many Xbox live users like to get a couple of free downloads to make them feel like they got their money's worth, so people will complain less/not complain about paying for any FUTURE - Newly Designed maps!

I voted for dowloadable, but I believe that Bloodgulch, and probably several others, were confirmed for Halo 2, though I'm not sure where and I could be wrong.

The PC maps should definately be a download, for those of us who haven't gotten a chance to play them!

Bugnie should include some of the old maps(especially Blood Gulch) in Halo 2. It would be a step backwards including the exact maps that were used in the first game, but it wouldnt if they updated the maps with new graphics that are inline with Halo 2 and new features on the levels that would relfect the new features found on the new levels in Halo 2.

I agree with you completely Wasp - the graphics should be updated to Halo 2 standards.

i think it should be a choice to download b/c i basicly only play 2 or 3 multiplayer maps, blood gulch, hang em high, wizard, and sometimes sidewinder. It would just make it harder for you to find your otehr maps if the old ones take up space. it mite be cool if there was like a blood gulch2 like the same design but different little things like the terrain or other ridges and more access to the top
