Halo 3 Legendary maps arrive News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

16 April, 2008

Master Chief has popped the Legendary Map Pack for Halo 3 on Xbox Live.

For 800 Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) you get new Forge options and three painstakingly created multiplayer maps: Avalanche, Blackout and Ghost Town. Not one not two but three things in it.

Avalanche is a snow-coated affair inspired by the Sidewinder level from Halo: Combat Evolved; Blackout is a re-visualised version of Lockout from Halo 2; and Ghost Town is a completely fresh experience in a Jungle dominated by a building with enough nooks and crannies to be described as a giant block of Swiss cheese.

On top of this, Master Chief is offering early purchasers a free four-month subscription to the Bungie PRO file storage system. This expands your space to 250 MB so you can share all of your screenshots, videos and game types with your friends.

Matchmaking playlists should be updated to include the fresh maps, so you can get plenty of practice in before the Legendary Weekend that runs from 25th to 27th April.

"Ghost Town is a completely fresh experience in a Jungle dominated by a building with enough nooks and crannies to be described as a giant block of Swiss cheese."

Also, like the cheese with the holes in:

"The more Emental, the more holes; but the more holes, the less Emental..."

Therefore, we're paying more for less of a map.

Have we had confirmation that these will go free one day? I know all the other Halo maps have (even for Halo 2) but I seem to remember Bungie said they'd be free as soon as they were released. I wouldn't really mind paying for a new Sidewinder, but I don't wanna fork out for them if they're gonna be free one day...

My skill level has got too high at Halo now. I seem to find myself constantly matchmade with people who are insanely good and/or taking the whole thing far, far too seriously. I would like the new maps but don't want to pay good money to play on maps where I know I will meet only this exact type of person.
