1UP.com are reporting on the new “Legendary Map Pack” for Halo 3, the details for which have just been released by Bungie.

The first map shown, “Ghost Town,” features decaying ruins similar to that of Sierra 117, and Crow’s Nest from the single player campaign.

Vic DeLeon, a Bungie artist who worked on the map, explains how the map’s setting fits into the Halo universe: -

“Ghost Town is the fragmented ruins of a small 24th century water purification complex that geographically lies just North and West of the jungle foothills hydroelectric facility from the Sierra 117 mission. The well-protected facility built into a shallow ravine was once home to the Global Water Campaign, where the still somewhat-pure Kilimanjaro meltwater was transported via pipelines from the river and directed to this small outpost where it became further purified, and then transported via GWC trans-African pipelines along the Tsavo Highway for distribution throughout the entire continent.“

The Halo 3 “Legendary Map Pack” is scheduled for release in Spring.
