Halo: Reach 'Defiant Map Pack' offers three new maps in March

4.8

Reach for your wallet, because more Halo's on the way. The Halo: Reach "Defiant" Map Pack, first seen in leaked images last week, has been officially revealed by Microsoft as a set of three new multiplayer maps, available next month for 800 Microsoft Points.

"Condemned," set on a space station above the planet Reach, is designed for 6-12 players in various team modes and Free for All, while "Highlands" is a Big Team Battle, Team Slayer, and Team Objective map set in the "Wilderness Training Preserve" on the planet. Finally, "Unearthed" is a new Firefight map set inside a titanium mine. he map pack includes new Achievements to the value of 150 Gamerscore.

It's worth noting that the maps were created "in partnership" with Age of Booty developer Certain Affinity, a team of Bungie vets that has made maps for Call of Duty: Black Ops, World at War, and Halo 2.

Is it free?

I don't want to be mean to the halo reach fans, but i was really disapointed with this game. I thought it was going to be pretty good. The campaign is awesome, but i am talking about the multiplayer. There were up to 800,000 people the first day it came out, which is nothing compared to black ops. so what i have to get down to is that i am not trying to offend any halo fans because i also like halo myself, but i just don't like halo reach.

PS: Halo 3 was awesome

There is a typo at the start of one of the sentences it says "he map pack" instead of The map pack, just thought I should point it out :)

ok ok ok. i know SOME people love halo reach but seriously? a new map pack?? im pretty sure bungie is just getting seriously desperate because barely anyone is playing reach and while all there "used to be fans" left and went to play the cod series. i just dont think there getting used to the fact that halo is just not the "hit" game it used to be

I was turned off until i heard about the guy who helped design these helped with Black Ops also!

Well if they are designed by the people that made the Black Ops Maps then that's me out of the equation.
