More Info on New Halo 3 Maps

Thumb UpGood dudes at Bungie released an interesting statement yesterday about the new maps O.K. Corral and Purple Reign. Here’s a little taste of what’s in store:

Maps coming in the nearish future have long since taken shape and are starting to have neat polish items show up, things like decorators, sharper textures and high res lightmaps are gracing us with their presence. Also, weapons, power-ups and equipment are nearing their final (pre-Community Forged) resting places.

High res light maps sound interesting right? I mean, making the maps look better is aways a good thing. We’ll it sounds like it should be pretty sweet:

There’s a pretty broad variety of lighting on O.K. Corral, from the aforementioned God Rays to dark tunnels, nooks and crevices where much of the illumination comes from the lights on Spartan armor.

Ah… I’m in!

One point here - is there’s a 3rd mystery map Bungie is working on also, but there not giving out much information except that:

But I can also guarantee that my all-time favorite ever Halo map will be included too, if yesterday’s playtest was anything to go by. A large map with some vaguely familiar features just rocked my world. It was AMAZING fun. Any time I am in an hour long standoff against an equally matched team and it never becomes frustrating, is evidence enough for me that we are onto something special.

You big tease, bungie.

    I’m definitely looking forward to having a few more fun maps to play on. Granted, I’m pretty much used to all the maps now and don’t cringe as much when they show up, and yah I’ve had fun with the Heroic map pack.. But damn, you can’t complain about having even more maps to screw around on.

    No I’m afraid you cannot. Only maps built for Halo 3 can be played in Halo 3.
