Halo 3 ODST final three maps
Halo 3: ODST lands 22 September, and with it a fresh story-driven campaign, cooperative mode Firefight and all-new competitive multiplayer maps for the Halo 3 multiplayer experience that’s also included on a standalone disc. Today we’re thrilled to bring you details on the remaining three multiplayer maps, only just given clearance by the guys at Bungie Studios.
Making up the grand total of 24 multiplayer maps, comprising the original 11 Halo 3 line-up, plus Heroic, Legendary and Mythic map packs will be Heretic, Citadel and Longshore. You’re not going to find this trio anywhere else but Halo 3: ODST.
This kind of intel requires your undivided attention, eyes forward, prepare for questions later. Here’s the recon from deep inside Bungie:
“Heretic”
…returns players to familiar ground as the Halo 2 arena Midship makes its long-rumored debut in Halo 3. The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear austere on first glance, but Heretic’s symmetrical spaces require players to execute complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents.
"Citadel"
…may be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to stay in constant communication, keep their heads on a swivel, and be prepared to adjust combat tactics in close quarters.
"Longshore"
…lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa, but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large scale combat and well suited for smaller affairs, Longshore’s multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.
Only a matter of months before Halo 3: ODST descends; your chance to experience the story of Halo 3 as an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. Don’t forget that anyone who buys Halo 3: ODST is granted access to the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta. “Halo: Reach”, prequel to the Halo trilogy, is scheduled for release in autumn 2010.
