New mulitplayer maps coming soon
In an update on the Bungie website there's news of a new 'Heatmap' function, which allows you to zoom across a multiplayer map and review the positions where you were shot.'Heatmaps' can be accessed via the career game stats page on the official Halo 3 site. Bungie explain more:
"Heatmaps are the Doppler Radar System of Death in Halo 3. We're tracking encounters, weapons used and their results in a given game, collecting that data and sharing it with players visually. The key here is 'the darker the red, the more frequent the deaths (or kills, depending on the parameters)," reads the update.
There's also more news on the first lot of downloadable content, which will include three new multiplayer maps, that we'll be able to customise to a deeper level within the Forge editor.
"In addition to the customization the Forge currently offers, DLC maps include the ability to place Mancannons (with varying trajectories), a couple of different sized Shield Doors and some vehicles will see a variety of tweaks".
They'll also be a number of tweaks to improve issues with the gameplay, plus some other new additions, including "environment-specific decals being applied to vehicles and certain vehicles have had their weapon systems modified so that they behave differently in multiplayer combat" and hopper updates.
There's no mention of a date for the downloadable content, but you can check out more details at Bungie.Net
