Bungie, obviously quite chuffed at being recently divorced from Microsoft, has been dropping a few hints about some new downloadable content for Halo 3.

Over at the official website Bungie's Luke Smith has described some of the upcoming multiplayer maps.

The first is a map called 'OK Corral', which is described as a medium-sized asymmetrical maps which is dotted with plenty of alley ways and catwalks for players to snipe from. Luke describes the level as having a 'sunset feel', whatever that's supposed to mean.

Luke also mentions a few other maps, such as 'Purple Reign', 'Jodrell Bank' and 'Vandelay'. The latter in particular sounds especially interesting and Luke says it's pretty much the simplest map ever created and is intended to show off what the Forge game mode can do. I get the feeling it's going to be another GM_Construct, though that's a reference only seasoned Garry's Mod players will get.

There's no word yet on when the content will be available, or how much it'll cost when it is released, but hopefully it'll come along before Christmas. That'd be nice.:cool:

Master Chief is excited about the first Halo 3 downloadable content.
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.

We'll have more information on the Heroic Map Pack, including how to get the pack for those who haven't downloaded content before, as the release date nears.
