Microsoft and Bungie announced today that the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack arrives on April 15th. The map pack will set you back 800 points and brings the Ghost Town, Avalanche and a not-yet revealed map to the party. There will also be some new Forge options included. Check out all the details, including some info on the first two maps, in the release after the jump:



The Fight Continues - Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack Arrives in April

The award-winning Halo 3 multiplayer experience continues to evolve with three new maps available only on Xbox LIVE Marketplace

More than 7.3 million copies of Halo 3 have flown off store shelves, upwards of 500 million hours of frag-tacular online gameplay have been logged on Xbox LIVE and the Heroic Map Pack has been downloaded by 1 million plus gamers and counting. But its not over yet

Microsoft and Bungie today announced that April 15 will mark the release of the next wave of Halo 3 downloadable content. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points, the Legendary Map Pack will introduce three new maps to the titles award-winning multiplayer experience, Ghost Town, Avalanche, and one map yet to be revealed. And with the addition of some exciting Forge options, fans can explore new ways to create and share their custom Halo 3 content.

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-favorite. 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, its time to get excited.

Be sure to check out www.xbox.com and www.bungie.net for all the latest information and screenshots of the new maps.

I came across a blog a month back that talked about what the last two maps could be. Based on all the evidence, he predicted they would be "Sidewinder" and "Lockout."

Given that he predicted "Sidewinder" correctly, I am praying for "Lockout." Good God, I would buy an 800 point map pack if that was the only map in it. "Lockout" is the greatest multiplayer map period.

A lot of people have been asking for Blood Gulch and Midship. I know that Bungie is talking about re-doing more previous maps, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them release those eventually as well.

Personally, I'd like to see Ivory Tower, Ascension, Turf and Sanctuary make a comeback as well.
