The wait for new Halo 2 content is over. As promised, the first four (of nine) maps are available for download today via Xbox Live. When you sign in, select "Content Download" from the Live menu and you'll see two download options.

The "Bonus Map Pack" is free of charge and includes Containment and Warlock.

The "Killtacular Pack" is a premium download that will cost $5.99 in exchange for Turf and Sanctuary. Both of these maps will be available as free downloads later this Summer - June 28 to be exact.

Grab these maps and fire up some custom games with your friends and see first hand what we've been so excited about the past few months. Next week we will be updating our matchmaking playlists and incorporating all four new maps in the approrpriate playlists.

And, for folks who don't have access to Live, you'll be able to get all nine multiplayer maps on June 28th when the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map pack is released in retail stores.

They are pretty sweet. Downloaded all four and spent about 20 minutes each walking through 'em. Turf looks to be my favorite!. Great work on the maps.

Woot. Downloading took longer than expected. But I'm guessing the servers are getting hammered REALLY hard. These maps are excellent. I can't wait for June 28th.

this is the happiest day of my life, i lasted about 5 months with the old maps, now im set for the summer. I also think it's better that they are releasing maps at different times because it make the game last a long time. Just what Bungie planned. whoever thought of that idea, kudos to you. THANK YOU EVERYONE AT BUNGIE!

My apologies if this had been posted somewhere and I missed it, but will the current map batch be available on a retail disc, for those who either have problems downloading them or can't wait for them to download? Or did you guys want to get the six bucks from everyone with a 'box and avoid possible disc sharing? Not to be a jerk, just curious.

6PM won't come quick enough!!

YES THEY ARE SOOO GOOD!! i love santuary..... perfect map for classic CTF!! it brings back the good stuff! also warlock is nice for some 3 on 3... turf is just plain awsome with the cool enviorment and hiding places and its really fun for 1 flag (havent tried territories),,, and containment looks sick havent tried it yet though not enough ppl

Awesome maps. Question: Having a LAN party and only 2 of the 4 guys are on LIVE. Is there anyway for us to play Containment on all four boxes?
