Bungie has revealed another map that will appear in the upcoming Legendary Map pack for Halo 3. This new map, dubbed “Avalanche,” apparently draws a lot of inspiration from the classic Sidewinder map from the original Halo. It will contain a familiar U-shape along with several vehicles to play with a multiple paths between bases. In a lengthy interview with some of the designers of the game, they revealed that essentially started with Sidewinder as a model, but then made numerous tweaks to change all the usual strategies. They also included a tweaked Hornet to make it not so ridiculously unbalanced. The devs also indicated that they may be planning another remake in the future. The Legendary Map pack is set to hit Xbox Live on April 15th for 800 Microsoft points.

i like it - but won’t be paying tyo download it like the last bunch of maps - which i hardly play on as none of my friends downloaded it for me to play with them
It’s a shame that the purchasing system on XBox Live is completely broken. It would be nice to be able to buy extra maps, or anything for that matter. Microsoft don’t seem to care.
cool
Looks pretty nice. I’m not certain I’ll be buying it just yet, but I have been playing Halo 3 more recently (and by more, I mean actually playing it).
well about no one having current DLC maps when this map and ghost town and one other hit the market April 15 or 18(can’t remember) current DLC maps will be free and incorporated into normal games
