The '''Heroic Map Pack''' includes three maps, [[Standoff]], [[Rat's Nest]], and [[Foundry]]. It was released at 2:03 AM on December 11, 2007. Originally available for 800 [[Microsoft]] Points exclusively on [[Xbox live]] Marketplace. Each map presents a totally different play style. There are a handful of new [[Forge]] items usable on these maps that were just static parts of the environment on previous maps. These items range from shield walls to man-cannons, to other novelty objects, such as a big soccer ball.<ref>[http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/news/20071119-heroicmappack.htm XBox.com Source]</ref> The Heroic Map Pack became free to download March 25, 2008<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13399 Bungie News]</ref>.

== Trailer ==

There was a part trailer called D.I.Y which was hosted by the members of [[Red vs Blue]] that showed a preview of the maps in the map pack.

==Maps==

===[[Standoff]]===

The symmetrical valley of Standoff, with its entrenched bases, fields of boulders and open driving spaces, this map is ideal for mid-sized objective and [[Slayer]] game types. There is a secret forge item for this map. Standoff (as well as [[Valhalla]]) is considered by some the successor to Halo's [[Blood Gulch]].  It was codenamed ''Jodrell Bank''.

===[[Rat's Nest]]===

The vast, labyrinthine passages of the Rat's Nest bring something completely new to the [[multiplayer]] experience: an indoor [[vehicle]] paradise. Strongly influenced by the [[Campaign]] level [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]], this map is ideal for Big Team battles and its symmetrical design makes it perfect for strategy-based games. It was codenamed ''John Carpenter's Prince of Dorkness''.

===[[Foundry]]===

Foundry is the ultimate [[Forge]] map. Players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, placing stairways, walls, bridges, and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map imaginable. It was codenamed ''Art Vandelay'', which is a reference to the TV show ''Seinfeld''.

===Extras===

In all the maps listed, there are all new [[Forge]] items,

including double boxes, single boxes, fence walls, fence boxes, stairs, walls, wire spools, bridges, dumpsters, doors, trucks, signs, window panels, [[man cannon]]s, [[shield door]]s and [[soccer ball]]s. They are all featured in the [[Heroic]] map pack.
