Category: News Xbox 360 The new Halo 3 maps have arrived Hamza Aziz | Published: Dec 11, 2007 04:50 pm 0 Recommended Videos The three new multiplayer maps for Halo 3 have arrived. Standoff, Rat’s Nests, and Foundry are all available for 800 Points. Aaron did a great hands-on of the game when he visited Bungie worth checking out if you’re curious about the new maps. Also, check out this new Red Vs Blue video (above) showing off the new levels too. These maps will become free in Spring of 08 prior to the new next map pack if you’re willing to wait. Bungie also announced that there will be some new game types coming out on the 18th next week. Most notable from this is the news of ranked Big Team Battle. I don’t know why I love this game type so much, but I do. I should be a level 50 by now with all the time I’ve put into BTB. As much as I love Halo, I’m still not sure if I really want to download these maps. So I leave it up to you Friday Night Fighters to tell me if I should buy them. And if you guys do convince me to download this, then we better play some soccer with Hammers. First “Halo 3” Downloadable Content Arrives as Heroic Map Pack Hits Xbox 360 Award-winning multiplayer experience evolves with three new maps now available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace The international award-winning “Halo 3” gets even better as the “Halo 3” Heroic Map Pack launches today on Xbox 360’s Xbox LIVE Marketplace. After launching to incredible acclaim and fanaticism, more than five million “Halo 3” players worldwide can now enjoy a package of three all new multiplayer maps. The Heroic Map Pack is the first in a series of downloadable content from Bungie Studios. Available for 800 Microsoft Points exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, each map offers a unique experience. Standoff’s symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types, while Rat’s Nest’s vast, labyrinthine passages bring something new to the “Halo” multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, ideal for big team battles. Finally, Foundry is the ultimate Forge map – players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of. As if the legions of “Halo 3” players needed more reasons to stay logged on to Xbox LIVE and fragging, Forge also allows players to edit and customize all three maps, keeping “Halo 3’s” multiplayer experience fresh, exciting and evolving. In addition, ongoing updates to “Halo 3’s” matchmaking playlists ensure that ranked and social gameplay remains dynamic and competitive. The maps of the Heroic Pack are available in matchmaking today to those who have purchased the download. All three maps will become available as a free download via Xbox LIVE Marketplace in Spring 2008, just prior to the next wave of all new “Halo 3” multiplayer maps.
