Halo 3 multiplayer experience is about to get even better as Halo 3 players will be able to enjoy three all new multiplayer maps on 11th December as part of the Heroic Map Pack, the first in a series of downloadable content from Bungie Studios to come via Xbox Live.
Available for 800 Microsoft Points exclusively on Xbox Live Marketplace, each map presents a totally different play style, according to Microsoft. Standoff's symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types, while Rat's Nest's vast, labyrinthine passages bring something new to the Halo multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by Campaign mode, ideal for big team battles. Finally, Foundry is the "ultimate Forge map" – players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map.
All three maps will become available for free download via Xbox Live Marketplace in early 2008, just prior to the next wave of all new Halo 3 multiplayer maps.
The Forge also enables players to edit and customise all three maps.

Halo 3 heat maps
published to Bungie.net lets players monitor the exact locations of ongoing kills and deaths for every level.
Players can view maps by kills or deaths using all or one of the game's 50 possible weapons.
"Our stats radar is tracking every kill and death in Halo 3," Bungie says on its website. "The darker the red, the more frequent the carnage."

Halo 3 Weapons Tips
Some weapons were meant to be used for certain things. The rocket pods are used to take out vehicles (if you aim them at vehicles they will home in on them, they are extremely inaccurate when aimed at someone on foot). The sniper/beam rifle is used to take out infantry from a long distance ( you don't get much ammo for these, you only get 20 shots with a sniper rifle; 4 per mag, the beam rifle cant be fired repeatedly without it overloading, also you don't get auto aim with any of these).
Establish a perimeter- In one sided objective games you only have to worry about they enemies who are giving you problems when you are defending a base or location. If someone is in your base trying to blow it up, kill them. If they are just wondering aimlessly outside not knowing what to do, don't. This is not Slayer.
Keep your distance- When some one has a deadly short range weapon (the coveted Covenant energy sword for example) it does not mean they are invincible. Just keep your distance and spray bullets into his guts.
Stay out of the spotlight- When you are playing a game you do not have to take the obvious routes Take other routes and pick them off from a distance. You can also duck to stay off other people's radar or even sneak attack a single person before I pick up the sword I wait behind a wall and when a enemy comes nail him.

Forge Halo 3
Forge is a tool made for players to insert game objects into the existing maps. Bungie stated this is more of a game type than a tool. Almost all weapons, vehicles, and interactive objects can be inserted into the maps and moved around. You can do anything from placing large number of your favorite vehicles or from stripping the map clean of many objects. Forge will also allow you to add objects in real time. You will be able to save custom setups and share and download them using the File Sharing feature.

One Bomb – Defense Halo 3
Defense arguably requires less strategy than offense, but that doesn’t mean it’s easier. The Power Drainer that spawns in the base may be tempting to use, but it will most likely be a hindrance if misused. If that thing lands on the bomb spot, you’ll have a tough time disarming. Try to use it against groups of enemies, as they tend to rush in groups while on offense, especially through the lower doors and the gate. The Bubble Shield could help with defense, but you run the risk of it being used against you.
As a general rule, try to keep all equipment away from the bomb spot while on defense. There are enough weapons in the base for most situations. There are two turrets up top that can be detached and brought into the base, a couple Needlers, a Brute Shot, a Spartan Laser, and a shotgun a little ways away outside the base. If the enemy rushes in a vehicle, and it survives the ensuing fight, park any vehicles you have on top of the bomb spot, just to hinder your enemies that much more. They make a nice big explosion when hit with grenades, too. Another good idea is to head over to the Bubble Shield and keep it out of the enemy’s hands. Enemy snipers will almost certainly be a threat, so try to stay behind the large crates and in the main stairwell as much as possible. There’s not too much to defense, just kill everyone, and keep them the hell away from that little circle.
