Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack Coming in April; First Screens

The second Halo 3 multiplayer map pack will be arriving April 15, Bungie and Microsoft revealed today. The ‘Legendary’ pack will include three new maps and will be available in all regions for 800 MSP ($10 USD).

According to the press release:

Ghost Town is a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins outside the once-prosperous city of Voi. Collapsed ceilings and shell-battered buildings provide both valuable cover and deadly traps, as catwalks and stairways take the fight from claustrophobic ground combat to dizzying rooftop battles. Ghost Town is a mid-sized map ideal for Team Slayer games and smaller, objective types.

The second map, Avalanche, is a tribute to Sidewinder, a “Halo: Combat Evolved” fan-favourite. This massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors and brand new vehicle variants. Take a ride and admire the visual variety from the cockpit of the retuned Hornet.

The third map to be included in the Legendary Pack has yet to be announced, but stay tuned to Bungie.net for full details on another returning classic… fans of smaller Slayer maps, it’s time to get excited.

The first, ‘Heroic Map Pack’ was released late last year and has since been downloaded by over a million gamers worldwide.
