ProduktrezensionenHalo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack (Microsoft Xbox, 2005)

Ultimate Level Review!

Well, I bought my copy of this wherelese but eBay.

It does add a lot to the "Halo 2" experience, but there are a few neggatives.

A few of the new multiplayer worlds are fun, but take heed that 2 of the maps are pretty much copys that came from the original Halo game, but with a few added features (Although no big improvements).

And about 5 of the worlds are very small, and not fun at all! (Especially if you are playing with more than 4 people)

And finally the 2 best Worlds: Terminal (This level is baised in a closed down train station). It is very fun and quite a large map.

And the world: Containment (This level is based in a snow world with 2 different bases). This level is also very fun and is the largest map of them all. Very fun for anywhere from 4 to 16 players!

Alot of the videos are cool, it has the very first Halo trailer that ever came out.

The E3 Halo 2 trailer, some comments from the producers, and a very funny (Covenant) surround sound speaker test!

OHHHH, and..... remember the level in Halo 2 (Metropolis) when 3 of your ships are coming in and one of them is shot down and dissappears, and then suddenly you meet up with them........ Well this has a video of what happened during that lost time piece!

One last good thing about it is that you can download on it on to your Xbox (By following the on-screen directions) then watch all the videos, and your ready to sell it to someone else and get about half your money back!

So with all the goods and bads I give it a 4/5.

Good Buy!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack

i thought this item was good! not great nor poor. it has all the halo 2 multiplayer maps, which are amazing! very nicely put together. but thats the only thing it had, maps. it also had a video about the making of the new map, but i mean you watch it once and theres no point of watching it again! and plus you have to have the original halo 2 game to even play it. so you have to buy this plus the the real halo 2 game. i wish it was like odst, it comes with all the maps, even if you dont have the original halo 3 game. but it would have been great if it came with the full campaign. but its a good product if you like halo 2 and if you still play it. and if you dont like VS. mode, than this is not the add on game you want! but for the ones who love playing on line, or with friends on mulyiplayer, than you will love this game!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

**Halo 2 Review Guide**

The Good

* Some of the best first-person shooter gameplay in the business
* Outstanding multiplayer features--tons of fun modes and customization options
* Incredible audio--music and sound effects both major highlights
* Impressive artificial intelligence
* Co-op mode tons of fun.

The Bad

* Disappointing story
* Short campaign
* Some unsightly graphical issues
* No co-op online.

Halo 2, the long-awaited sequel to one of the most widely praised, most influential first-person shooters ever created, has a very tough act to follow. Fortunately, it's built on a foundation that's as strong as they come. The game's success was preordained--publisher Microsoft tallied more than 1.5 million Halo 2 preorders in the weeks leading up to the game's release, which demonstrates just how confident Halo's fans are in the sequel's quality. But how is it, really? The good news is, the sequel to the Xbox's defining action game is an absolutely superb, fully featured game, boasting an excellent presentation, a highly replayable campaign, and the greatest, most complete online multiplayer component in a console shooter yet. A surprisingly disappointing story and a fairly short single-player portion are noticeable shortcomings, but there's just so much breadth of content in Halo 2, and the action itself is so outstanding, that there can be no denying its quality. Overall, it's one of the very best action games available.

It's good to see you, Master Chief.

There are several reasons why the original Halo ranks up there with a very small number of other first-person shooters as one of the definitive games in the genre. For one thing, Halo succeeded at establishing a cohesive, memorable, and original science-fiction universe. For another, the Master Chief, Halo's cybernetic protagonist, made a great hero. A fearless, enigmatic man, the Chief could succeed where pure flesh-and-blood humans could not, and guiding him to victory against the alien menace known as the Covenant, as well as the parasitic creatures called the Flood, made for a gripping story and an intense and satisfying gameplay experience.

Halo's gameplay was amazing in that it seamlessly integrated top-notch first-person shooting with incredibly fun third-person vehicular sequences and outstanding friendly and enemy artificial intelligence. The game's subtle innovations--the tactical consequences of such things as having recharging energy shields, being able to carry only a couple of weapons at a time, the ability to throw powerful grenades in between shots, and the option of dishing out fierce melee attacks--also did a lot to differentiate Halo from other shooters, and proceeded to influence subsequent games. Halo's multiple, well-balanced difficulty settings, two-player cooperative campaign option, and assorted multiplayer modes also ensured that the game had tons of lasting appeal. All these factors contributed to the game's well-deserved success, and they're all back in Halo 2. For the most part, the sequel takes an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to its gameplay--everything that you loved about Halo's action is back in full effect here. At the same time, the handful of new additions in Halo 2 are well thought out and well implemented, enriching the gameplay and making it seem fresh but still familiar.

Everything that you maybe didn't love about Halo is pretty much back, too.

Halo 2 will never die

One of the greatest games ever released, and this adds more maps for online play with Xlink Kai software. No better game for 2020 than Halo 2 online with a CRT TV! Would recommend picking this up while it is cheap.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Only way to obtain more maps now that Xbox Live Original is shut down.

This review is for the post Xbox live era.

Microsoft no longer supports the original xbox under xbox live, which means this is the only way to get most of the maps onto a console so you can use it via tunneling, split screen, or system link play.

At the $10 price this is selling for ebay, it is very useful to have more maps. Better still, if you have multiple xbox's, you simply need one disc, as it will load multiple consoles.

Of course, the bad thing is that this disc doesn't contain the last two maps released, I would love to get these as well, but I can't figure out how. C'est la vie.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack (Xbox)

The Halo 2 Multiplayer Map pack is one of the best things i've ever bought to continue a video game. I play Halo 2 for the multiplayer battles, not for the campaign. When we would play, we would play on the old maps and sooner or later everyone got tired of them. The multiplayer Map pack gave me many more awesome maps to chose from to play on. So any time when all of us get together to play, we can play for hours and have tournaments on many more maps, which is crazy. I decided to buy it after I was tired of the old maps so I knew they made the Map pack and I decided to hunt for and buy it.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Great for playing online after the removal of the DLC servers.

As most Halo 2 fans know, all original Xbox servers were shut down about 2 years ago now, including DLC servers. Unless you have a modified console, this disk is the only way for you to get the post release updates and maps. I bought this in order to update Halo 2 and play it online using tunneling software, which it works perfectly for. One downside to using this method for updating Halo 2 that not all people will know is that you do not get the latest 1.5 update, it is something like 1.4. Another is that it does not include the maps tombstone and desolation, released in 2007. This product is the best solution for people that are either too lazy to modify a console just to play Halo 2 with the final updates, or lacking the technical ability to do so.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack (Xbox)

Should have waited to download em for freeeeeee.
Simply put, Halo 2 is by far the greatest first-person shooter the console world has seen in the past. From the monster multiplayer (both off- and online) to the perfectly constructed single-player campaign, this game never lets up for a second.

If you have been following the Halo phenomenon, you already know that this sequel has introduced dual wielding, vehicle boarding, and a host of Xbox Live options including clans and the ability for four players on a single split-screened TV to all be online.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Installed and works perfectly

For anyone frustrated with X-Box LIVE after discontinuing X-Box LIVE support for original x-box games, this is the way to get those 9 new Halo 2 maps that aren't available anymore. Also comes with bonus features. Just install everything in order. Works great for my 360 as well as my original x-box. Great product.Vollständige Rezension lesen...
