IF YOU haven't yet downloaded the Legendary Map Pack for Halo 3, then you don't know what you're missing out on.
A few new maps never goes astray in an online game, as they increase the longevity of the title.
Microsoft this week went on the front foot to promote its second Halo 3 map pack by providing Gamer Herald with a run down of what's in store for gamers.
Three new maps including Ghost Town, Avalanche, and Blackout are available in the pack for a total of 800 Microsoft Points.
Ghost Town
A medium-sized map designed for one-sided games ideal player counts range from 4 to 10 players. Ghost Town is the battle-scarred remnant of a war-ravaged hydroelectric plant in the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Recommended gametypes: Team Slayer, One Flag CTF, Multi-Flag CTF, One Bomb
Avalanche
A reimagingation of Halo: Combat Evolved fan favorite, Sidewinder, Avalanche's size makes it ideal for big ol' games of Halo 3. Avalanche is a Forerunner power station set on a glacial shelf on an under-construction replacement for Installation 04.
Recommended gametypes: Multi-Flag CTF, One Flag CTF, One Bomb, Team King, Team Slayer
Blackout
It's not a reimagination, it's a remake of one of Halo 2's most beloved maps. Blackout very nearly speaks the same language that its predecessor, Lockout, spoke to Halo 2 players. Its long lines of sight and interconnected platforms preserved, but in a new location: a frigid UNSC research station beneath the low lights of the aurora borealis.
