Remember being surprised by the news that Bungie was working on three new multiplayer maps? Yeah, I don’t think anyone was, really.
Earlier this morning, though, they released further information on the upcoming multiplayer content titled, "Heroic Map Pack." The new multiplayer maps will hit the Marketplace on December 11 and set you back 800 points ($10).
However, all three maps will become available for free download in Spring 2008, just prior to the next wave of all new Halo 3 multiplayer maps.
Whether or not that’s going to be a regular feature of new Halo 3 multiplayer maps remains to be seen, but it’s certainly a nice touch for those who want to experience the new maps eventually, but don’t want to pay for them. (Or accidentally pay for them, as I did for maps on some game back when Xbox Live was relatively new and frightening.)
