New VIDOC

Bungie has released a new VIDOC for Halo 3..odd.

“Journey’s End, the final Halo 3 ViDOC is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace. Journey’s End focuses on the story leading up to the events that unfold in Halo 3 — there aren’t any major Halo 3 spoilers in the ViDOC. However, if you haven’t played the Campaign yet or are expecting it as a present for the holiday season, our Marty-esque advice is to unplug from the Internet and not watch the ViDOC until you’ve played the game. We’ll have web versions available shortly.” – lukems/Bungie

First Map Pack Download!

The Heroic Map Pack comes out December 11th. It consists of 3 new multiplayer maps. The first map Standoff is supposed to feel more like Blood Gulch than Halo 2’s Coagulation or Halo 3’s Valhalla. Now they are not calling this a remake by any means, they are merely saying it will feel most like it. Rats Nest is an indoor vehicle paradise. It will be a great Big Team Battle map that was highly inspired by campaign. The last map, Foundry, is the perfect forge map. You can edit walls, stairwells, and many other objects to make whatever map you want.

These maps cost 800 Microsoft Points. Or if you want to wait until spring just before the next map come out it will be free.
