Tombstone

Tombstone, along with Desolation are upcoming maps for Halo 2. They are remakes of Hang 'Em High and Derelict from Halo: Combat Evolved. The map was designed from the ground up by video game company Certain Affinity.

Tombstone has several notable differences between itself and Hang 'Em High, including explosive fusion cores (pictured at right), the replacement of the main ramp with a Gravity lift, certain tweaks to account for Halo 2's jump height, and of course a major graphical and aesthetic overhaul.

Tombstone features a similar weapon set as Hang 'Em High, the default spawn weapon being the Battle Rifle. The map features two Overshields, one in the canal at the bottom of the map, and the other across the map from the first, inside the control room. A Rocket Launcher lies in the canal, opposite the overshield. An Energy Sword spawns at the top of the map, and the only way to reach it is by running across a long bridge that is completely exposed to sniper fire from almost anywhere on the map. Despite its power, the sword often spends entire matches untouched simply because it is too risky to retrieve. ==Images==
