Beginning December 11, three new multiplayer maps will be available for players of Bungie's Halo 3 (X360). Titled the Heroic Map Pack, its three maps--Foundry, Rat's Nest, and Standoff--will be downloadable from the online Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Microsoft describes Standoff (pictured here) as "ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types" due to its symmetrical layout and boulder-filled battlefield. Rat's Nest (pictured here) is said to be "an indoor vehicle paradise" best suited for big team battles, whereas Foundry (pictured here) is "the ultimate Forge map" as players can manipulate and replace every object object within it to create their own custom arena.

10$ for 3 maps? What a rip off. Actually paying anything for content that you should be getting for free is BS.

That's the Bungie way.

"an option to spend $10 for something that probably took a team of people weeks/months to create and master, who are on high salaries, pfffft what a rip off"

I'm sure I read somewhere that in Spring sometime the map packs would become free.

Its only for those people that want to get their hands on it now.

Just wait until feb/march and they should free. I haven't got a source, but I'm sure I remember reading it someplace.

"The maps will eventually be provided free of charge, similar to Microsoft's efforts with Halo 2's downloadable content as well as that of Epic Games' Gears of War. According to the publisher, players can expect the Heroic Map Pack to be free in spring 2008, "just prior to the next wave of all new 'Halo 3' multiplayer maps."

Either way it's nice to have new content, the current maps are getting old.

I’ll just wait till there free, I don’t believe in playing for extra maps which were most likely created before Halo 3 went gold anyway! It’s not like they’re going to be free anyway... I can wait
