[image:42829 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0] Bungie commemorates the fifth anniversary of the release of Halo with an announcement that touches on both Halo 3 and Halo 2.
First, there will be a Halo 3 television commercial airing during Monday Night Football on December 4th.
Secondly, in the spring of 2007 there will be more Halo 2 maps available. They won't be free, and you'll need a 360 with the hard drive (required for Halo 2 backwards compatibility anyway).
Thirdly, next spring will also see the launch of some kind of Halo 3 Public Beta. Fans will get a chance to play Halo 3 multiplayer on Xbox Live before the game is actually released.
Last but not least, a new screenshot from an actual campaign level, recently reproduced in Newsweek magazine. We've added it to the Halo 3 gallery.
UPDATE: Microsoft has an official press release on the announcements as well; a copy has been posted at Team Xbox.

Ooh very nice
Very cool. Love the fact that I get to watch a Halo 3 commercial during a football game and I love the fact that new Halo 2 maps will be coming out. Don't like the fact that we have to have a 360 to get a chance to play the new maps tho... That's kind of a downer for people like me not ready to change yet.

Halo 2 Maps
Any info on what the maps are? How many? What are the names? What do they look like? Vehicles enabled?

Not yet.
In reply to: Halo 2 MapsNo news from Bungie on the specifics of the new maps just yet. Since they're at least 3-4 months away, most likely details aren't even finalized yet.
Rampant for over se7en years.

Halo Rebels?
In reply to: Hold off rebel forces halo2Do you mean on the level The Arbiter or The Oracle? If so you fight through the facility and kill the heretic leader. If those are not the level then give me the level's name and I might be able to help you out.
