Legendary Map Pack

I have been an avid Halo fan since Halo 2 was force fed to me by an overzealous neighbor. Halo 3 has done a great job in keeping the love alive, and I couldn't be happier. Halo 3 was released september 25th and shipped with 11 multiplayer maps, and within a couple months downloadable content in the form of three new maps came around for the low price of $10.
As Saint Patty's day nears, Bungie prepares a press release giving some additional details regarding another of the three new maps set to be released sometime this spring. The legendary map pack ( a lofty claim) is setting itself up to be the best map pack yet, and it is highly speculated what these two un announced maps will be. Since H3's release, fans of the series have cried out for a remake of the popular Halo 2 map, Lockout. Lockout proved itself time and time again, to be one of the best made multiplayer combat maps to ever be created, during the span of Halo 2's reign on Xbox Live Lockout was the one map that never got old. It is being speculated that Lockout will be making a comeback with some minor cosmetic changes to fit into the Halo 3 canon, after reading the updates and news tidbits given to us by a very tight lipped Bungie, i'm inclined to believe this classic map is due for a comeback. The first map to be released is known as Ghost Town, and is touted to have some similar elements to maps from both Halo:CE, and Halo 2, but remaining completely new and untrod. The map itself is intended to be remeniscent of the familar architecture during the beginning of the H3 campaign missions, a bombed out water pumping plant with some surrounding buildings and dynamic level design are some of the highlights.

The final map has been highly speculated upon, especially now with Bungie releasing images of the familar vehicles receiving a bit of a cosmetic change and one vehicle receiving some gameplay related modifications to make it more fair in normal multiplayer play. All these vehicles sport what would seem to be snow camoflouge and most certainly gives credence to the speculators who believe the codenamed "cottonballs" will be a remake of an old Halo:CE classic, Sidewinder. If these two unannounced maps and Ghost Town live up to the hype, this downloadable content will definantly be deserving of the title "Legendary".
