Maps
Assembly, Sandbox and Orbital are maps that have been confirmed by Bungie. Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox will be released with the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo Wars in Actual release date March 3 (stated on halowars.com).

Assembly
Assembly was originally planned to be in the Heroic Map Pack, then the Legendary Map Pack, but was replaced due to the fear that it wouldn't be finished on time. It is suspected that the map is set in a Covenant Scarab Factory. Some say it is similar to the Halo 2 map, Midship. It is said to be fit for mid-sized Slayer and Team Slayer battles, and also supports objective gametypes, other gameplay details are indefinite.

Orbital
Orbital is set on the Quito Space Tether, a UNSC space elevator. It will be the first map in Halo 3 (campaign or multiplayer) to be set in outer space. Orbital is described as having two main corridors overlapping each other and having some interesting switches that grant access to certain areas of the map. An image of Orbital was released on Bungie.net in late December.

Sandbox has not been officially revealed yet and concrete information about this map is scarce. It was first referred to by the New Halo 3 Achievements and later officially revealed in a Bungie Blog post when it was announced to be released in the Halo Wars Limited Edition along with Assembly and Orbital. Despite the lack of official info, Sandbox is suspected to be a forge-heavy map larger and more detailed than Foundry.
