If you have last year’s Halo: Reach and aren’t interested in the Halo: Anniversary high-definition remastering of the original game, you still can get up the four classic multiplayer maps shipping with it.
The “Anniversary Map Pack” will include six multiplayer stages–Battle Canyon, Breakneck, High Noon, Penance, Ridgeline and Solitary–plus Installation 04, as a Firefight map, for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). It will be available Nov. 15, with the release of Halo: Anniversary.

Friday, November 11, 2011 at 4:41 PMUnfortunately for me, i played enough Halo to know that the picture above pretty much sums up Halo’s environment. Maybe 1 outdoor jungle area?

Friday, November 11, 2011 at 4:46 PMU classify the whole ring as 1 area? So in that case COD had 1 outdoor map as well.. After all they never leave earth do they,

Friday, November 11, 2011 at 7:50 PMSo what you mean is you’ve played barely any Halo? Cause I sure as hell have seen a shitload more environments that don’t look like the pic above.

Friday, November 11, 2011 at 4:45 PMThe $ issue is, if i buy CE anniversary will i get the DLC for Reach included or will i have to buy it also to play with friends on reach and not with CE?

Friday, November 11, 2011 at 4:47 PMFrom what i have read the Halo Ani pack comes with Reach MP + all the DLC (unless someone can correct me?)

Friday, November 11, 2011 at 6:43 PMUnsure about the existing map DLC, but it does come with the CEA maps for Reach. Also unsure if it comes with Reach MP, but I did hear that you didn’t need Reach to play them…

Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 8:44 AMIt comes with a multiplayer disk that contains all of the maps from Reach (including DLC maps), as well as the new maps mentioned here, and is compatible with others using the Reach disk (not unlike how O.D.S.T.’s multiplayer disk worked).

Monday, November 14, 2011 at 8:01 AMIt appears I was incorrect. Halo Anniversary comes with access to Reach’s multiplayer, but ONLY with the new maps that are included with the game (everything that is in the ‘Anniversary Map Pack’), which you will be able to play via a specific playlist that only uses these levels. All the maps that came with Reach (as well as any of the map packs you may have purchased previously) will not be playable via the Anniversary disc. Very disappointing indeed.
However, if you have Reach, you can use a code that will come with your copy of Anniversary to download the maps to your 360′s HDD, which will allow you to play the Anniversary maps with your Reach disc.

Friday, November 11, 2011 at 7:11 PMSo … is it four or 6 maps? The article has two different figures…

Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 12:01 AMFour *classic* maps. Two new ones, I guess? And then there’s a firefight one. So really it’s seven!
Sora
Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 12:23 AMWait, so not all of the classic maps have been remastered?
This makes me sad.
Unless of course this means… future DLC.
