Ghost Town

This map is a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins outside the once-prosperous city of Voi. 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.

Avalanche

"Avalanche" is a tribute to "Sidewinder," a Halo®: Combat Evolved fan favorite. This massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors, and brand new vehicle variants. Take a ride and admire the visual variety from the cockpit of the retuned Hornet.

Blackout

As its name suggests, "Blackout" is a remake of the Halo 2 classic "Lockout," a cold series of interconnected platforms and walkways. Where "Avalanche" was retuned, reworked and massaged into something both familiar and unfamiliar, "Blackout" is a remake in a pretty strict sense of the word.
