Halo 3’s second batch of DLC releases today. Named the Legendary Map Pack, it comes with three new multiplayer maps, as well as, a bevy of new Forge options. The map pack includes a remake from the first Halo and Halo 2, as well as, a third, completely original map.

Avalanche is a fan favorite from the original Halo. This snowy battlefield was inspired by the original Sidewinder, but the massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors and brand new vehicle variants.

Next is another fan favorite in the form of Blackout, originally Lockout from Halo 2. Although fully re-visualized, this map adheres very faithfully to the tightly wound perfection of the original. Blackout is perfect for fans of small battleground Slayer matches.

The new original map is named Ghost Town, which is a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins. 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.

As an added bonus, for a limited time only, gamers who purchase the Legendary Map Pack will receive a four month subscription to "Bungie PRO" via Xbox LIVE. Bungie PRO greatly expands the Halo 3 experience by increasing the maximum number of file share storage slots from six to twenty-four, as well as, increasing the total file storage size to 250MB.

The new Legendary Map Pack is available now on Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 points. Be sure to check back for our mini-review on the new maps.
