I'm all about new maps in FPS titles to be honest... So this is good news outside of the fact that I really don't care for Sidewinder that much, but we all knew some remade old maps were on the way. Also I'd like to comment LET us play more DLC maps in matches outside of the DLC playlist, please. They rarely happen and it really drives me nuts because I do enjoy the DLC content maps quite a bit especially when you've played Narrows for the tenth time in a row.

Yes I still play enough Halo 3 with my friends to get Narrows ten times in a row. I will steal their Halo machines.

Next Halo 3 map pack coming April 15, includes Sidewinder remake

For the next Halo 3 batch of content (the "Legendary Map Pack") Bungie is going a bit more old-school. The pack will include "Avalanche," a spiritual remake of Halo 1's "Sidewinder." It won't be exactly the same, Bungie cautions, but its U-shape is definitely going to remind you of the old stomping grounds.

If you have more questions about the addition -- and we're sure you do -- some Bungie staffers took time to answer some of them. What we also learned today was that "Avalanche," "Ghost Town" and one other mystery map will drop April 15 for 800 points. Speaking as people who like to hold on to their $10 bills, we look forward to playing them a few months after that.

I thought Guardian was the new lockout? What a load of #####. They should have brought back Midship.

I thought it was too, considering the level design is somewhat similar. Oh well, the question is, am fans willing to shell out a couple of extra bucks just for another set of maps? Especially if you're like me, who has a 360 and Halo 3, but doesn't have X-Box live.

It was supposed to be, but in my opinion and apparently many others, it failed. I like Guardian, but is no Lockout. As for Midship, I agree as that was one of my favorite Halo 2 maps, but thats one of many maps I would like remade. Hopefully Bungie begins to massively remake maps, because there are a bunch I would want in order to go back to Halo 3 from CoD4.

Also, I have no plans to buy these when they first come out, I'm waiting for them to be free because I find forge and and online custom games to lack the fun to warrant the purchase of these maps.

Pwnage I guess, I'll get a play of these next time I'm home. Even though i hate Halo XD On a better note, I downloaded UT3's new maps for fREE today <3
