Microsoft have announced the arrival date and cost of the latest map pack for Halo 3, so you can, errrrm, continue to “finish the fight”.

The Legendary Map is set to join the Heroic Map pack for even more multiplayer mayhem.

Arriving on April 15 the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack will set you back 800 Microsoft Points, that’s 266.666 repeating points per map.

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 Horne.

Map 3 is yet to be announced but both Microsoft and developer Bungie hint at the third map being a smaller Slayer style map.
