Bungie reveals three brand new multiplayer maps for Halo 3: ODST, the standalone expansion to 2007's Halo 3 on Xbox 360. The new Halo 3: ODST maps include Heretic (a remake of Halo 2's beloved Midship map), Citadel, and Longshore. Here are the official descriptions for each of the new maps.

  • 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.

    THE VERDICT by Patrick Shaw Patrick Shaw's Avatar Who's excited for more Halo besides me? ODST is looking far better than merely an expansion of Halo 3... they should have just dropped the "3" in the title.

    I can't wait for this game or these new maps. And the new fire fight mode and the Halo: Reach beta. Halo 3: ODST FTW.
