Support NeoGAF

I've been looking around the Net and GAF, but I can't seem to find out if the number of multiplayer maps for Halo 2 have been revealed.

That, and the number of different multiplayer game modes would be awesome to know.

 

[Mr. Lemming]

11 Maps initially unlocked, the OXM review strongly hinted that something would be unlocked for multiplayer when you complete campaign mode so maybe it is another map(s?) making for 12 or so.

Gamemodes... there are a bunch of variants but the only distinct gametypes are Slayer, CtF, King of the Hill, Oddball, Territories, Juggernaut, and Assault.

Eleven maps at launch, with more planned for DL.

Bungie has not revealed all of the gametypes yet, but the known modes are:

Slayer
Team Slayer
CTF (Single and multi-flag variants)
King of the Hill
Territories
Assault
Oddball
Fiesta
Juggernaut

The variants in each mode are said to be an order of magnitude larger than in Halo. (creating new types, like Swords)

That's the list I was trying to pull from memory - not sure where I saw it. Still to be defined is the 'Fiesta' variant Frankie has alluded to several times.

No Onslaught?

Does it have a mode like CS where you die and you are out until everyone is dead(ie rounds), i love that, it makes you feel like there's something at stake.

Elimination is like that. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Assault modes is like that as well.

 

[LAMBO]

very good to hear

 

[Deleted member 1235]

wonder if DLC is gonna happen.....

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

No Onslaught?

Territories sounds a bit like Onslaught.

 

[teepo]

sounds doesn't mean always plays like...

 

[Soundwave 2k4]

I'd say it's a 100% definate.

Considering how they have reportedly excluded some of the most favorite maps from Halo 1, I think Downloadable Content is gonna have to happen =)

 

[Mr. Lemming]

If they do Hang Em' High and Chill Out remakes, I think most people will be happy. Possibly Sidewinder (PC Version with teleporters INTO the bases please!) as well.

Man....Monday evening is just so far away .

Sounds like they have a solid foundation for DLC.
