Hang'em High at High Noon.

[That's right, it's back!]

Hang'em High, is one of the most popular maps in the list of multiplayer arenas sported in the Halo series; excluding obvious maps like Blood Gulch.  
Hang'em High has seen the redesign treatment once, from Bungie, it arrived in DLC form as an expansion for HALO 2: Combat Perfected. Then Halo 3 rolled around and, no Hang'em High; but what we did get was just as good. We got Forge. A map editor in it's most primitive state for the Halo franchise, but arguably one of the best features put into Halo 3. Fans may have not seen a third remake of the classic map, but they could now make it! And so they did, they built Hang'em High. Some even impressed Bungie and the fan made remake saw action in the community Matchmaking playlist. Halo: Reach rolls around as a gift to the fans, but again, Hang'em High was nowhere to be found. But that was okay, no biggie, because a refined, sophisticated of Forge was bristling with muscle and features to build with. Hang'em High returned to the Frey like never before. It was good to have a place you knew by heart to pick a fight in. Now, with HALO: Anniversary quickly drawing near, 343 Industries proudly released some magnificent screenshots of the first time classic, four time remake, Hang'em High. They even gave it a shiny new name to go with it's facelift. The new title fits in well with the original, and the new look is without a doubt, breath taking.

Say hello to an old friend. High Noon.
