Details Revealed for ODST Multiplayer Maps

As was originally announced at E3 last month, Halo 3: ODST will ship with not only all of the Halo 3 multiplayer maps released to date – including those from the Legendary, Mythic and Heroic DLC packs – but with three brand spanking new maps of its own.

Well a press release and screenshots have just orbitally dropped into the CFD! offices with some of the juicy details about those exact three maps: Heretic, Citadel and Longshore.

Halo 3: ODST will be making planetfall on September 22nd. Hit the jump for the classified information, if your security clearance is high enough…

• 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, Longshore’s multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.
