The Halo 3 Legendary map pack is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. This is the second add-on for Halo 3, and it runs 800 MS points. Those of you who have not yet downloaded the first add-on, the Heroic pack, can now do so for free. Click read more for the full info.

PRESS RELEASE

LONDON - 15th April 2008 - After launching in September 2007, millions of fans the world over still log onto Xbox LIVE every day to experience the award-winning action of “Halo 3” multiplayer. That experience expanded first in December with the release of the Heroic Map Pack, and today Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie release the next evolution with the Legendary Map Pack.

Available for 800 Microsoft Points exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, this second major downloadable content offering includes three new multiplayer maps, as well as a load of new Forge options.

Avalanche and Blackout revive two fan-favourite maps from previous “Halo” games, while Ghost Town welcomes desolate jungle combat to the experience. And now, using new options in the Forge, players can create more detailed challenges and map variants than ever, while also utilising a variety of visual effects to create new, unique screenshots and saved films.

Avalanche is a throwback all the way to “Halo: Combat Evolved.” This snowy battlefield was inspired by the original Sidewinder, but the massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors and brand new vehicle variants. Admire the view from above, as Avalanche also marks the arrival of the Hornet to “Halo 3” multiplayer.

In keeping with the theme of “fan-favourites,” Blackout will fill the void left by fans of “Halo 2’s” Lockout. Although fully re-visualised, this map adheres very faithfully to the tightly wound perfection of the original, but eschews Forerunner architecture in favour of industrial human design. Blackout is perfect for fans of small battleground Slayer matches.

The Legendary Map Pack also packs a brand new punch, in addition to the two classics, with Ghost Town – a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins. 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.

As an added bonus, for a limited time only, gamers who purchase the Legendary Map Pack will receive a four month subscription to "Bungie PRO" via Xbox LIVE. Bungie PRO greatly expands the Halo 3 experience by increasing the maximum number of file share storage slots from six to twenty-four while also increasing the total file storage size to 250MB. This will allow players to upload and share more films, maps, screenshots and game-types than ever before.

The maps of the Legendary Map Pack are available in matchmaking today to those who have purchased the download. Additionally, fans that have yet to purchase the Heroic Map Pack, which released in December, can now download it for free on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

i wish people quit playing halo3, stop supporting a crappy game. throw it away and get a real game(Call Of Duty 4) its better to let go and give in to its greatness.

Halo 3 owns COD4 and all of it's unskilled camping noobz. Anyone can hide in a house or lay down and pick away at people because of the "1 pull kill" damage system. Not everyone can play a game with a actual damage system that takes skill to win battles.

I honestly believe that most people like to play COD4 because it's easy to hide and kill people. To be good at Halo it takes actual "Gaming Skills". To be good at COD4 it takes "Camping skills"...LOL. Everyone has their own opinion though....

see you and i see it way different, halo is a run and gun spray your gun in the air and kill people...well hopfully, i mean it is kinda easy to kill someone with a "shield" right? i will admit that there are alot of people who just sit in houses and watch the door with there LMG, im not that way, i earned all my gold weapons and that took alot of skill. i believe that COD4 is the #1 shooter...(for now)...but halo3 is done, no new maps,weapons nothing can bring it back to the top...thats my opinion, people are good at halo and people are good at COD4. There two completly different games and they have there fans to back up they're game.

I rather Halo3 atleast it gives me that 50/50 chances of surviving, where as COD4, you dead as soon as you step out your spawn area.. my paranoia rise along with my blood pressure with that game. Now if that game had vehicles in it, then it'll be super badass.
