Halo 3 Planet

[tag]Halo[/tag] 3 is getting three brand new maps come December 11th according to Xbox.com (Spring 08 for those not wanting to buy the maps).  Not sure how they were able to spill the details about the new downloadable maps before Bungie, but we’re excited that they are coming so soon!

Available for 800 Microsoft Points exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, each map presents a totally different play style.

• The symmetrical valley of Standoff, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types.
• The vast, labyrinthine passages of the Rat’s Nest bring something completely new to the multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise. Strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, this map is ideal for big team battles.
• Foundry is the ultimate Forge map. Players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, placing stairways, walls, bridges, and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map imaginable.

All three maps will become available for free download via Xbox LIVE Marketplace in Spring 2008, just prior to the next wave of new Halo 3 multiplayer maps.

Foundry sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun!  We may need to have another Forge contest soon!
