New Halo 3 map “Moonbase Alpha” described by Bungie

Halo 3 developer Bungie is hard at work on new downloadable content in the shape of new maps. In their latest podcast they talk about a smaller symmetrical map and the biggest of all maps is described in more detail. To quote:

“Moonbase Alpha now has large opening doors and more unusually, a kind of unlockable jump over a deadly chasm. In its locked state, a jump over will almost always result in death. Unlocked, it becomes an easy jump and a simple shortcut. More and more, this map is beginning to appeal to my interests. At first I thought it was just a bit too large, but now that I know my way around it, it’s brisk enough to support even one vs. one games.” The site continues: “It’s received some new lighting and different switches to enable and disable access to various parts of the map. We’re still playing it pretty often. It is a brutal map to play on, that may appeal to fans of Elongation, but is absolutely NOT a remake.”

Don’t forget that the first Halo 3 map pack will be available as a free download sometime in spring 2008, after which no doubt the second $10 priced map pack will show up.
