The first batch of Halo 3 DLC will be hitting the millions of Halo players on Dec. 11. Three new maps (dubbed “The Heroic Map Pack”) will be introduced to the community for only 800 MS Points ($10.00 USD/ CDN).
As with the Halo 2 DLC of old, these maps will become free in Spring 2008, right before the next wave of DLC is expected (Very sneaky Bungie, very sneaky).
The symmetrical valley of Standoff, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types.
The vast, labyrinthine passages of the Rat’s Nest bring something completely new to the multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise. Strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, this map is ideal for big team battles.
Foundry is the ultimate Forge map. Players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, placing stairways, walls, bridges, and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map imaginable.
