Bungie shows new Halo 3 map

Ghost Town. Like Swiss cheese.

Bungie has whipped the wrappers off its upcoming map pack by giving us a look at Ghost Town.

This is the first new area in the spring-bound bundle, and is a ruined 24th Century water purification complex in hot Africa.

It's taken the team four to five months to flesh it out - which seems like rather a long time - and was once described as feeling like Swiss cheese.

Ghost town is perfect for infantry teams of four or less, apparently, and works well with game types like One Bomb and One Flag.

Visually we would describe it as penetrating, which is why we've pinched some screenshots of it so you can make your own mind up.

Eurogamer has more information coming on all of this next week. We really do.
