With the release of the Legendary map Pack for Halo 3 just around the corner, many fans are a bit nervous. The Heroic Map Pack was good, but to many fans, it was kind of a cheap throw together. The Legendary Map Pack is very much anticipated by many fans abroad. With one of the stages appearing as a tribute to a Combat Evolved stage, many fans are already reminiscing of the good times. If Bungie does this right, they can really bring back some of the Magic that was in Combat Evolved. It appears that this Map Pack has had a lot of work put into it but I guess we will just have to wait and see what it really holds on store for us.

This is a summary of the new stages taken from Xbox.com-

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 re tuned 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 re tuned, reworked and massaged into something both familiar and unfamiliar, “Blackout” is a remake in a pretty strict sense of the word.
