Today 343 Industries has released a little trailer detailing the ins and outs of the popular Halo 2 map, ‘Headlong’. Tweaked and updated as it is for the launch of Halo: Anniversary, the map will still promote the frantic vehicle and sniper gameplay fans loved about original map, now re-named ‘Breakneck’. The description reads as follows:

Headlong – Section 21 once looked out onto the New Mombasa Orbital  Elevator with pride and optimism. Now, with much of the city eviscerated  by the Covenant’s brutal assault, the skyline remains only a shattered  ghost of what it once was. Headlong provides a large, skyscraper-hemmed  construction site with numerous vantage points for clever snipers as  well as a large central basin for excellent vehicle combat. (8 – 16  players)

Also important to note is the multiplayer beta for Halo CE: Anniversary starts on October 4th. Apparently there is a way to sign up for the beta, but at the moment of this post, I have yet to find the link. If you do, dear reader, feel free to post it in the comment section below.

Well, that kinda sucks, was figuring it would at least be just halo 1 maps, even if it is just a map pack. Have they announced all the other multiplayer maps?

Am I the only one that never got into Halo multiplayer? Though I'm looking forward to the Anniversary addition.

I was going to get this, then I realized its on the Halo Reach servers and the stupid sprinting stuff is still in the game. No thanks, I want Halo 2 again.

I freaking loved Halo 1's multiplayer, but hated 2, while 3 and Reach are....okay.

Halo 2 was my favorite by far. 3 was ok and CE is ok (it was amazing for its time but not as timeless as 2) and Reach was subpar IMO. Kinda disappointed that CE Anniversary isn't as genuine.
