In Bungie's latest Weekly Update, Frankie went into greater detail with regards to Tombstone and Desolation. He complimented Certain Affinity's ability to bring Hang 'Em High and Derelict successfully to Halo 2's gameplay changes from that of Halo. There was obviously a lot more thought put into the changes than just changing the textures and taking away the roof, as the map also features fall damage, which we believe is to be exclusive to that map at this point. As for Desolation, it's been streamlined for competitive play and features grav lifts, ramps around the perimeter, as well as face lifts, moving from an abandoned spacecraft to an open forest.
1. I just reread the update. I couldnt find where it says there is fall damage on that map. he says..."Fall damage is not important as it turns out. I played for weeks without really ‘feeling” that change."
So I guess it could mean both. When I first read it I was assuming that the change was no damge from falls.
