Legendary Map Pack

The Legendary Map Pack or LMP is the second map pack to be released at the Xbox Live Marketplace to download for 800 Microsoft Points on April 15, 2008 for Halo 3. It is the follow up to the Heroic Map Pack, released on December 11, 2007. Bungie has stated, in a recent update, that the next map pack will be full of remakes. Thus, Avalanche has been stated as a remake of the Halo map Sidewinder, Blackout is a remake of the Halo 2 Map Lockout and Ghost Town appears to resemble the map Turf. The map pack will consist of the following three multiplayer levels:

• Avalanche (Formerly Cottonball)
• Blackout (Formerly Moonlight Sonata)
• Ghost Town (Formerly O.K. Corral)

Delayed Maps

A few different maps were originally slated for the Legendary Map Pack, though they did not progress as fast as expected. Due to this reason Purple Reign and Moonbase Alpha are not going to be released in this map pack. However, these maps are planned to be finished and released with the next upcoming map pack(s).

Trailer

The trailer was called "Darkness", after the poem of the same name written by Lord Byron. The spoken lines are the beginning portion of this poem concluding with a line from the middle. It was released on April 3rd & can be viewable here. Also, David Scully (Avery J. Johnson/Sangheili) voiced this trailer.

Trivia

• The first map revealed is Ghost Town, followed by Avalanche and then Blackout, and this seems to be in an order from the least wanted map on the LMP to the most wanted map on the LMP judging from the favouritism by fans.
• Before images of the first LMP map was released, Bungie stated that all maps in the LMP were originals, but however the only original LMP map is Ghost Town. This was to tweak Purple Reign and Moonbase Alpha, which were in the original line up.
