"…to make sure that we didn’t just slap together a port of an old map, but rather, lovingly craft a last salute to Halo 2 multiplayer as we move toward Halo 3 in the fall.
Lots of folks are asking us in direct terms, "why make maps for Halo 2, when Halo 3 is just around the corner?" Well, because we love Halo 2 and we love our fans. They’ve continued to play Halo 2 solidly for three years, in vast numbers, and we owe them it."
this is very nice
