Bungie recently announced the first downloadable content for Halo: Reach. The “Noble Map Pack” will include three new maps called Tempest, Anchor 9, and Breakpoint. Available November 30th for 800 Microsoft Points ($10), the new Halo: Reach multiplayer maps will allow players access to a UNSC refueling station, an abandoned military base, and an ONI research facility. See screenshots from the “Noble Map Pack” here on bungie.net.
Players have also been asked to show their map-making skills in Forge and submit their creations to Bungie for possible inclusion to future playlists. One such Bungie community member has already been lucky enough to be immortalized in the October 19th playlist update. “Atom,” created by JoeSki73, is a small symmetrical map which plays best with 2 to 8 players. The map is available at the following link: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=2169751&player=JoeSki73
As for playlist changes, Campaign Matchmaking has recently been added and on October 19th other playlists will be receiving some much needed tweaks. In Firefight, friendly fire has been turned off (no more random people running into my target locator killzone!) and matches will now last a full set instead of a single round. Team Snipers and Living Dead have been made into their own playlists and various maps have been tweaked throughout all playlists.
