  • Team Halo 2: Anniversary Social
    Play with a team in unranked Team Slayer and objective game types on re-mastered maps. 5v5.

    The game that started it all. Play a mix of Slayer and objective game types in Halo: Combat Evolved for the first time on Xbox Live. 4v4.
  • Halo 2 Classic
    It’s back. A mix of the most popular Team Slayer and objective game types from the original Halo 2. 4v4.

    Aim for the head! A collection of SWAT game types on our favorite maps from Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 2: Anniversary. Players have no shields and are equipped with rifles. 4v4.

If none of these take your fancy, you can always make private games and wail on whatever nostalgia inspires.

When I spoke to 343 Industries at Tokyo Game Show, I was told that the team plans to be highly reactive, adjusting and rotating playlists to help ensure the most desirable content is most easily accessible.
