Descripcion:Get a tour of the new Halo 3 maps (Standoff, Rat's Nest, Foundry)from the guys at Rooster Teeth.
In the very wee hours of tomorrow morning (2 a.m. Pacific) the Heroic Map Pack will be available on Marketplace. The Red vs. Blue dudes have a video preview of Standoff, Foundry and Rat's Nest!
What is Rat's Nest?
A: Rat's Nest is a massive level set in the corridors and tunnels of a Human Base near Kilimanjaro. You may recognize parts of it from Halo 3's Campaign mode. Effectively, it's a giant Oval, kind of like an underground NASCAR track, with lots of vehicles and plenty of tunnels criss-crossing the center area. It's designed for big team games, Objective and Slayer, but also works brilliantly for game types like Infection and Territories.
What is Foundry?
A: Foundry is a very unique map -- designed from the outset to be the most customizable Halo 3 Forge map ever created. It's a large Warehouse, which can be empted quickly and then rebuilt any way you like, with a brand new palette of objects such as walls, ramps, Mancannons and more. Stuff you never had access to before and objects that can be used to create fully functioning level designs, rather than simply altering our existing map.
What is Standoff?
A: Standoff is a big-ish symmetrical map, great for Team Slayer, excellent for Objective games and big enough for a couple of vehicles. It has locked-down Bunkers for bases and lots of cover for players trying to make their way from one base to the next. Although some say it has a similar feel to Blood Gulch, the geometry and terrain is very different.
