New Halo 3 Maps On Xbox Live MarketPlace
New Halo 3 Maps On Xbox Live MarketPlace, due to recent success of Halo 3 in three months time three new maps will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace starting December 11 at 5 a.m. EST, 2 a.m. PST. for 800 points.
The Heroic maps in the bundle is Standoff, Foundry, and Rat’s Nest. But they say if you wait a little longer, let’s say by Spring 2008 the maps would be free.
When Halo 2’s downloadable content joined the Internet, it effectively split the Matchmaking population into the “haves” and the “have-nots,” Bungie was readily aware of the problem that caused, and has rectified it in Halo 3. First, when downloadable content arrives, it will have its own playlist for those folks who just want to play with their new toys. Simultaneously all of the DLC maps will be rolled in to the regular Matchmaking playlists as well and then as folks are getting matched up, the game will take into account who has what maps in the matchmaking process. So you’ll see Team Slayer on Standoff show up in the Team Slayer hopper as well as in the new DLC-focused playlist.
