Halo 2's Headlong added to Anniversary Edition, Title Update...updates


If you dug duking it out in Halo 2's futuristic construction site, Headlong, you'll be happy to hear that it will accompany the other confirmed maps in the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Now called "Breakneck," this classic map is still based around vehicular combat and Objective-based gametypes, but now features some additional cover added in some spots, and the old fashioned teleporters (that's so 2004) have now been replaced by man-cannons.

In addition to that, 343 Industries shed some light on the upcoming Halo: Reach Title Update, which is slated to drop on September 21. At first, you'll be unaffected by the patch, but on October 4 you'll see a "brand spankin' new playlist"--Beta Hopper--where all the changes will be featured. The playlist will feature 4v4 Slayer and Objective gametypes, DMR starts, and 85% bloom.

For a complete rundown of the beta playlists, head on over to the official site.
