Halo 3 Heroic map pack out today. Red vs. Blue video shows the 3 new maps!

Halo 3 for Xbox 360Halo 3’s Heroic map pack is out today, the FPS’ first map pack contains three new maps, each with a different play style.

1. Standoff’s symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types.
2. Rat’s Nest’s vast, labyrinthine passages bring something new to the “Halo” multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, ideal for big team battles.
3. Foundry is the ultimate Forge map – players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of.

The guys from Red vs. Blue show new maps!
