  New Halo 3 Maps On The Horizon

By Mendelson Tiu | Thursday | 20/03/2008

Microsoft and Bungie will be releasing three new maps for Halo 3, giving users new ways to enjoy Halo 3 online.

Starting April 15, 2008, the Legendary Map Pack will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points and will introduce three new maps like Ghost Town, Avalanche, and Blackout.

According to Microsoft, Ghost Town is a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins outside the once-prosperous city of Voi. Collapsed ceilings and shell-battered buildings provide both valuable cover and deadly traps, as catwalks and stairways take the fight from claustrophobic ground combat to dizzying rooftop battles. Ghost Town is a mid-sized map ideal for Team Slayer games and smaller, objective types.

The second map, Avalanche, is a tribute to Sidewinder, a "Halo: Combat Evolved" fan-favorite. This massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors and brand new vehicle variants. Take a ride and admire the visual variety from the cockpit of the retuned Hornet.

The third map, named Blackout, is a remake of the Halo 2 classic Lockout, a cold series of interconnected platforms and walkways. Where Avalanche was retuned, reworked and massaged into something both familiar and unfamiliar, Blackout is a remake in a pretty strict sense of the word.
