Bring Back Rocket Race!!!

This is probably an old question, but does anyone know why Halo 2 Vista does not have the maps Tombstone and Desolation? Is it because of compatibility issues? Or is there something hidden in those maps that they do not want the Halo 2 Vista modding community to find?

Also, does anyone know if there are custom maps that are similar or exactly like Tombstone and Desolation?

Tombstone has a Halo 1 pistol and with BluTrainer we can go through walls.Sadly we can't pick the weapon up though.

Or the fact Bungie kept them exclusive to the xbox(not like their that amazing and can't be made), while the PC recived of course Uplift and District...still trying to figure out who got the better deal

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

I know someone was porting tombstone, but h2v basically has "Hang 'Em Higher", a custom map.

lol that's what I was thinking. I guess they don't want us to get to that pistol.

He is just reusing content and porting it. And also, how can they sue for that, h2v bloodgulch is a rip as well lol.

lol how can you get sued anyways? it's the same game content. It's not like your taking maps from Gears of War and then adding them to Halo 2.

Halo CE forever!

If I recall correctly the maps Desolation and Tombstone were added to the XBox title too late on the game to port them to the PC version.

Those two maps were released about 1 month before the PC release of Halo 2. I think they would've had enough time to add those two maps.

They had to delay h2v a month due to nudity in the MAP EDITOR!

Who cares about Nudity.There is enough in GTA IV or whatever type of Grand Theft Auto game had.

From what I've read about Halo 2 Vista and those maps, the company that was working on Tombstone and Desolation, Certain Affinity, was making those maps for Halo 2 on the Xbox and PC. But for some reason they never got it on the PC and instead, released two different maps for the PC version. They never said why they didn't release those maps. But those maps were being worked on at the same time Halo 2 Vista was being made.
