Three new maps for Xmas
Bungie has confirmed that the Heroic Halo 3 map pack will be available for download December 11th and will consist of three new multiplayer maps: Standoff, Rat's Nest and Foundry.The pack will be priced at 800 points and will be made available for free in the Spring. Bungie tell us more:
When Halo 2's downloadable content joined the Internet, it effectively split the Matchmaking population into the "haves" and the "have-nots," Bungie was readily aware of the problem that caused, and has rectified it in Halo 3. First, when downloadable content arrives, it will have its own playlist for those folks who just want to play with their new toys. Simultaneously all of the DLC maps will be rolled in to the regular Matchmaking playlists as well and then as folks are getting matched up, the game will take into account who has what maps in the matchmaking process. So you'll see Team Slayer on Standoff show up in the Team Slayer hopper as well as in the new DLC-focused playlist.
