ASSAULT PACK #2
Pumping Station- Location: HAMIM, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Pumping Station takes place in the warehouse and storage yard of an oil field. It is a smaller map with a simple layout, but a lot of cover and many paths. It is good for medium-ranged game play. Watch out for opponents throwing grenades from one yard to the next!
WinterBase- Location: MURMANSK REGION, RUSSIA
Winter Base is an outdoor map which has a mountain canyon as its central feature. Survival in this map depends on stealth and patience. It is a sniper's paradise. If you are a small group of players looking for a different experience, this is it.
Harbor
Harbor Warehouse
- Location: UDDEVALLA, SWEDEN
Harbor Warehouse is a large open space filled with a maze of cargo containers. Teamwork and timing are the keys to success in this map. Expect a lot of close quarter encounters and keep your eye on all the hiding spots scattered through the map.
Prison
- Location: SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA
This is a port of the original R63 map Prison, only smaller. The map now consists of the cellblock the yard and the northern and west buildings, the infirmary underneath has been closed off to create tighter game play. Prison is now a medium sized map with multiple routes, aimed more towards a Military base style game play. This map should provide multiple routes and something for everyone, now that the bottom is closed running around the map not finding anyone will never be an issue.
Dunno whether or not to get these, I got the first pack and I do play this a lot when my mates are back so I might grab these. Rumour has it that another free download will be out next week including bug fixes and new weapons etc.
Maps are £2.99

Welcome to online gaming.
Wish Mirosoft would give this kind of support to Halo 2.
I went on Black Arrow the other day an was suprised to see that very few people were playing it. I didn't bother with the first map pack and I very much doubt I'll be bothering with this one.
I downloaded the free map they put up when the game first came out and never even played that, infact I doubt I've properly played half of the maps you get on the disk in the first place.
