The Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3 is now available to download for free.

The Heroic bundle originally cost nearly seven pounds when it was released back in January, but was worth every penny. Despite containing just three maps, each offered a startling amount of diversity and quality. I stole that last bit from our review of the Heroic contents. I also stole the opinion that Standoff was our favourite map of the three.

Bungie promised it will waive the fee for the Heroic bundle to make way for its Legendary Map Pack. This will be released on 15th April and cost 800 Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

The Legendary Map Pack will offer three fresh scenarios to kill each other on, Ghost Town, Avalanche, and an unannounced level.

Pop over to the Bungie website for mouse-over comparisons of Avalanche against its inspiration Sidewinder, an original Halo 1 map.
