Aside from the non-linearity and free exploration aspects that Bungie talked up about a week ago, Halo 3: ODST will also ship with a helping of new Halo 3 maps. As part of Bungie day, Bungie has decided to give Halo fans a look at the three new maps -- Heretic, Citadel, and Longshore. Check 'em out below.

Halo 3: ODST Heretic map - Image 1


Heretic returns players to familiar ground as the Halo 2 arena “Midship” makes its long-rumored debut in Halo 3. The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear austere on first glance, but Heretic’s symmetrical spaces require players to execute complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents.

Citadel may be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to stay in constant communication, keep their heads on a swivel, and be prepared to adjust combat tactics in close quarters.

Longshore lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa, but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large scale combat and well suited for smaller affairs, LongshoreÂ’s multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.

One of the best Halo maps ever. Gonna play Halo a lot more once this comes out



Citadel looks pretty badass too. Not sure about Longshore, makes me think of Turf/Headlong, both pretty dumb maps
