Essentially Ghost Town is an asymmetric map designed for 4v4 encounters, it’s meant to be a strong infantry map where you get a nice range of close combat and longer range. The spaces are set up to allow two to three person squads a good bit of operating room and several tactical options.

We had both worked on the Sierra 117 level from the singleplayer campaign and we wanted to make something work within that environment because we are crazy like that. We knew Jungle would be hard to pull off in multiplayer, but noooo… we wanted to go further and add the elements of abandon and destruction. Cue the amazing work that Stan Winston and his team of artists made for the Halo 3 “Believe” commercials. That diorama of the huge battle with the destroyed buildings and debris everywhere was insanely cool and, well you know, we had to try it.

I like the setting.....but I don't think I'll buy it. I bought to first, only to realize, nobody's playing it and not enough players own it for it to appear in the standard game types.

By the way, when does that first pack go free? Isn't it soon?

I really hope the map is free. I wanted to play this with my friend but out of 10 of my halo friends, only 2 of them bought the previous mappack.

Hmm... many Halo 2 maps come to mind when looking at these pics, including Sanctuary, Turf, Gemini, and Ivory Tower. Maybe that's just me.

Sexy. I still won't pay for it, but it looks good.

Pretty cool looking. Can't wait to see what the other ones in the pack entail.

yea i dunno if this map is gonna be attached to the dlc that i purchased already or if its a different group. that would suck if they make the others "free" but charge again for these new ones. i rather see them mix all the maps together into playlists so that they can be ranked.
