Following their recent departure from Microsoft Game Studios, Bungie has hinted at the plans for future downloadable content for their record-breaking first person shooter, Halo 3.

In addition to new maps, Bungie are also thinking about creating new ways in which we can play the existing maps.

From Bungie's website:

"Work is progressing on new maps for future downloadable content, with the design and art teams vigorously engaged in the process. More entertainingly however, the ad-hoc test team of Bungie staff is enjoying these new maps greatly. My favourites are what I have already nicknamed Jodrell Bank and Moonbase Alpha."

"I 'invented' a game type on Jodrell Bank which is actually just Team Slayer with Swords and Snipers," the update continues. "Thanks to some unique geographical features of that map, it works great. Moonbase Alpha, on the other hand is best suited to objective games, like CTF and Assault, but it has some natural deadlocks that make Slayer interesting and Infection terrifying."
