Bungie details new Avalanche map

The second map to feature in the upcoming Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack.

Bungie has revealed that the second map to feature in the upcoming Legendary Map Pack is Avalanche, a re-imagination of the Halo: Combat Evolved map, Sidewinder.

Bungie notes: "It wouldn't be wholly accurate to call it a "remake," but elements of Avalanche are certainly culled from Sidewinder - it has the same familiar U-shape, multiple ways from base-to-base, and a whole sandbox full o' vehicles to play with. But there are many, many changes too."

For a whole load of more info you should head over to Bungie.net, where designers Niles Sankey and Lars Bakken along with artists Mike Buelterman and Jason Sussman have answered a bunch of questions.

The Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack will be released on April 15 priced 800 Microsoft Points.
