Microsoft today announced a Halo 3 map pack will be released on Xbox Live on December 11th. The pack is called the Heroic Map Pack and features three maps - Standoff, Rat’s Nest, and Foundry. Here is a description of the maps:

* The symmetrical valley of Standoff, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types.
* The vast, labyrinthine passages of the Rat’s Nest bring something completely new to the multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise. Strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, this map is ideal for big team battles.
* Foundry is the ultimate Forge map. Players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, placing stairways, walls, bridges, and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map imaginable.

The price point is a little steep at 800 Microsoft points (around US$10 dollars) the maps will be released free in spring 2008, when the next pack is released.
