Halo 2.5 For Real?

[Solid Snake]

Supposively a Korean XBox site leaked information about a Halo 2 expansion pack, that could include new maps and a few things they left out of Halo 2.

The site www.xbox.com/ko-KR posted a listing for "Halo 2 X-Pack (Expansion Pack)." The wha? Yes, the "Halo 2 X-Pack (Expansion Pack)."

Is it a fake? Is it for real? The strongest possibility is that Bungie is, in fact, in the process of creating new multiplayer maps and skins, and maybe some other fun stuff. Bungie itself has said it will release downloadable content in the future to support the game. They just didn't say it would be in the form of a possible $19.99 disc. The other fact is, it's on an official Microsoft site, which means it has legitimate legs. Another fact is this, neither Microsoft is likely to comment on it right away. The Korean site manager probably didn't read the fine text warning, which said something like, "Whatever you do, DON'T post this!" And then just busily published the news.

Bungie addressed the issue in its mailbag: "Next week, we're going to have a major announcement about the details of our new maps. Right now, there are some dates, details and ideas out there that are actually wrong, so please take everything you read between now and then with a grain of salt. We can't talk about how and when the new maps will be released, we'll leave that to the smart folks who actually do all the logistical work for this stuff - marketing and PR, but we can tell you this much - our entire plan is designed to make new content available for everybody, those with Xbox Live and those without Xbox Live. We hope in the end, everyone will be satisfied."
