In honor of the shopping madness that is just four days away, we are running a three-for-one news special today without the need to be at a store at 5am. It’s because we care.
First and foremost, we have just announced that there were be a Halo 3 map pack releasing on December 11th. From the media alert:
Available for 800 Microsoft Points exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, each map presents a totally different play style.
