Confirmed for September, bundled with Halo: ODST.
3 new maps, including a faithful-looking remake of Midship from H2

Not quite sure what the thinking is behind giving away new maps for
Halo 3 with a game that is supposed to be (sort of) its successor in
terms of online activity. Whatever, I was going to buy ODST anyway
and the free maps are a nice little bonus.

Thought both games were going to be compatible online, so that Halo 3
and Halo ODST peeps could all play together?

Ah, right. I didn't know that.
Seems a little odd - does that mean that ODST will have no new/exclusive
content? Given the massive online following that the Halo games have, it
would seem like a really odd decision if the multiplayer in ODST was a
straight recreation of H3.
