Halo 1 handgun in new Halo 2 map? BOGUS! UPDATED!

Posted by Jason Triplett Wednesday, April 18, 2007

So by now I am sure you have heard the rumors about some kids on GameFAQs that claim to have found a hidden Halo 1 pistol on Tombstone, one of the two new Halo 2 maps.

Here are both threads:

A quick readthrough of both threads will tell you what you already suspect...that this is in fact BOGUS! However, if the following modder's screenshot doesn't prove that the handgun is only scenery, we have something that may.


Being the skeptic I am, I called my source within the Bungie offices today to get the real story on this and the free map exploit. Their official response to this situation in particular?

"If you look on our official forums, you will see that our resident modding community has already given you the answer."

So there you have it. As fake as a Hollywood blonde's boobs.
UPDATE: see the following story on how the hoaxers are committing PayPal fraud behind this hoax!
