Rat's Nest

Rat's Nest is the name of a map that is announced in the Bungie Weekly Update: 10/12/07. It will be available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace 11, December.

It is said it will be the scariest map of all time. Dark, frightening and surprisingly enormous. It will include vehicles (a Mongoose was mentioned in the update on 10-12-07), but Bungie have also said that it will not 'need' them, possibly hinting at the use of Man Cannons already seen in maps like Narrows. Bungie stated in an update that the level will include actual rats.

On 11/19/07, Microsoft released information regarding the first Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack. The new name for this map will be "Rat's Nest," based on a level from campaign mode. The map pack will retail for 800 Microsoft Points ($10 USD) on 12/11/07.
