Each map presents a totally different play style. Standoff's symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types, while Rat's Nest's vast, labyrinthine passages bring something new to the "Halo" multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, ideal for big team battles. Finally, Foundry is the ultimate Forge (the Halo 3 map editing tool) map - players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of. If you can hang out until the [southern] autumn, The Heroic Map pack will then become free on Xbox LIVE Marketplace as a follow-up wave of new Halo 3 multiplayer maps hits the service. To bide the time, you might want to pick up the fifth Halo novel, Halo:Contack Harvest, which debut this week at #3 on the New York Times best seller list. Halo: Contact Harvest details events in the Halo universe leading up to humanity's first encounter with the Covenant, and depicts the Human-Covenant war from the perspective of Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson, confidant and mentor of Halo hero Master Chief. |
