New Halo maps are up on Xbox Live!
A couple of weeks ago, we brought news that new downloadable maps were coming for one of the best shooters of the year, Halo 3. Earlier today, the maps went up on Xbox Live for a price of 800 MS points. The three maps are detailed below:
* 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.
While 800 MS points (or $10) may seem like a lot for three maps that will be available in a couple of months, hardcore Halo fans, such as myself, won’t be able to resist.

Hot!…though I’m not paying for them.
I’m going to pick them up; I’ll have a review up sometime next week.
Yeah, I plan to just wait on this one. You know what I would pay money for though? New TF2 maps. It sucks there are only six of them.
Yikes, only six? I’m planning on picking up Orange Box later in the week. If anyone wants to play, hit me up on XBL.
Old Halo pics are up on MEGATONik!
You do know that’s a picture of Halo 2 right? But no worries, I just couldn’t help but point it out.
They’ll eventually make the maps free i’m sure. I guess I’ll have to wait until then. Now, I can go back to playing Gears of War, their maps are free!
I hate you again, zizzy.
Wait, if you already hated me and now you hate me again, don’t they like cancel out or something? So does that mean you love me?
