| The Historic Battle pack was originally envisioned as only shipping with three maps; Barrnes, Blood River and Memorial Basin. However, [[Robot Entertainment]] saw a large fan demand for more 3v3 maps, and instead investigated the possibility of creating a new 3v3 map. Ultimately, it was determined infeasible to create a new map from scratch, so as a compromise the existing map [[Frozen Valley]] was used as a basis from which to create a new 3v3 map; Glacial Ravine.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/maps/GlacialRavine.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Skirmish Maps - Glacial Ravine 3v3|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Skirmish_Maps/3v3_Maps#Glacial_Ravine_3v3|D=20|M=4|Y=2017}}
