This has been confirmed in the Weekly Updates, more specifically in the July 23, 2004 Update. Below is the information included in the update by Chris Carney:
Chris Carney
Our multiplayer maven is tweaking, tuning, fixing and hammering on the multiplayer levels.
"Concerning updates, Steve “Land of “ Cotton and I have been spending our waking moments trying to finish up all of new content by next Friday (i.e. content complete). Included in this last mad dash is some familiar lands, and yes, I can not be more specific. But let’s just say that we have been spending some serious time with some old friends. In addition, we are going through all of our maps to try and finalize any outstanding game play elements, and are also deeply involved in polishing the art in the environments to a fine glossy sheen. One of our major goals in Halo 2 multiplayer is to have at least one or two of the new maps look as shiny as Butkus’s car."
Bam.
He is talking about maps in his portion of the update. I italicised in bold the specific portion of it which refers to the old revised maps. When he is referring to old friends and familiar lands he is talking about old maps. However, I'm sure that there will some differences and changes that the old maps will go through. As he said, "familiar lands, and yes, I can not be more specific."
