At long last, the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack is nearly upon us! Over the past few weeks we've taken a closer look at three of the upcoming maps – Elongation, Backwash and Terminal. This week, we set sail for the islands with a preview of Relic, a new asymmetrical tropical battleground known for intense skirmishes and heated matches of CTF.

Welcome to Relic!

Amidst the blue waters of Delta Halo lies a remote island characterized by an enormous Forerunner structure and the scars of past battles. Perhaps at one point this tropical destination served as a place of rest and relaxation but today the heat of battle eclipses that of the sun. What mysteries lie within the rocks and sand of Relic? Exactly how did this island paradise come into existence?..."
It's definately there...

Great map, heres my two cents

1. Mostly worried about exploiting a superbounce to retreive the flag easily. As someone else already mentioned, I too see potential superbounce spots but even if they work, as long as they don't get you up to the flag stand, I can deal with it.

2. That covenant watchtower surely looks cool but it is going to be funny watching all of the noobs get their beam rifle and sit up there while I take the other sniper rifle and get an easy when the round starts!

3. If the teleporter is opened, it doesn't only mean the enemies can spawn camp the attackers. Then attackers can get in the base and possibly spawn camp defenders or just take the flag.

4. The rocket couldn't have been placed in a better location. Looks like the same setup in that of Coagulation where rocket is in center and both teams have equal opportunity at getting it first- should make for some intense battles between warthogs and ghosts.

5. I hope that you are able to go far out in the ocean with the warthog (like you were able to on Zanzibars beach) because this would give the attackers a better chance of getting to the enemy base. They can go along the right side ocean where they dont have to worry about getting rocketed and can probably get to base quickly without many enemies seeing them. I would kinda be dissapointed if you can only go along the shoreline, know what I'm sayin?

Looks like the second best map out of the new 5- gotta love Terminal first though.

I think this map is going to be the best one out of all of them. It looks the coolest over all.
I want to play snipers on it. I cant wait.

I was looking at the map and thought that there should have been a few palm trees for cover from the sniper rifles on both defense and offense. Why didn't someone think of that??

i really hate the snipers byt other then that the map looks really cool. cant wait till the 5. but i read that you can get to the flag from jumping off the rocks right out side this is going to make it a little easy to capture the flag if your good at jumping.

Nice map with some awsome features. I like the teleporter and (of course) the sword is an excellent addition to this map. I could already hear the cursing of the offensive team as they are mowed doxn by the defensive team as they are about to score, only to be stopped by a sword and plasma-smg defender. LOL!!! Since we have nothin better to do, why dont you listen to a thought of mine? How about a new gametype for Halo2? Like uh....... Locate and Oblitarate?! In this gametype, both teams(red and blue) have bases on the map. The other team must try destroy all of their bases WHILE defending theirs. The number of bases on the map depends on the setting. For more info, message me. Also if you're looking for a challenge on Halo2, I could challenge and own you!!! My gamer tag is: JFA Chaos.

I have a really dumb question - will the new maps automatically be used for all multiplayer matchgames - or will they only be included in Team Preview games and custom games?

Will Relic have Battle Rifle start?

If thre are superbounces on relic, they won't effect the flag, the base is only about 7 feet up in the air and you can jump on rocks to get there, if there was one next to the base it would take longer than jumping on the rocks.

For some reason this map reminds me of the silent cartographer. Anyone else think so?
