Bungie has released images of the three new maps included in the Heroic Map Pack, to be released on December 11 for 800 Microsoft Points. Here are some details on each map:
This map is the biggest of the three. Modeled after the Crow’s Nest level of the campaign, this big team-inspired map has a wide outer track, intended for Warthog and Mongoose action, that leads to each base. In the center you’ll find multi-layered courtyards, hallways and plenty of rooms.
A middle-sized, symmetrical map with an African theme, perfect for four-on-four Team Objectives. It sports two identical bases separated by a ravine and surrounded by pathways for some vehicular mayhem. Each base has two entrances and a locked third entrance tunnel opened only by activating a switch. There’s a machine gun turret on top of each base to cream any fool running around in the open.
A vast warehouse filled with stairs, boxes, ramps and all sorts of weapons. This map was made with Forge fans in mind, so everything can be moved around, removed or replaced, including the central wall that separates the two bases. Your imagination is the only limit in this map.
If, like me, you want to save your Microsoft Points for Xbox Live Arcade games, you’ll be happy to know the Heroic Map Pack will be offered free of charge as soon as the next Map Pack is ready, which should be sometime in the Spring of 2008.
