Bungie has announced the release date for the first Halo: Reach multiplayer map pack. The Noble map pack will be released on Xbox Live November 30, 2010 for 800 MSPoints($9.99). Apart from adding 250 Achievement points, the Map pack will include three new multiplayer environments: Tempest, Anchor 9, and Breakpoint. Checkout details of each map pack below,
Tempest: This abandoned shoreline facility bends both sea and sky to an unnatural purpose, but the ground itself has quickly become another all too familiar battlefield. Though the two opposing symmetrical bases may never reveal their ancient purpose, both now offer makeshift shelter and access to strategic routes perfectly suited for small and large scale skirmishes alike. Tempest supports 8 to 16 players and offers a variety of modes including Free for All, Team Slayer, Team Objective and Big Team Battle. Tempest also provides players with a huge Forge palette, allowing them to create new custom map variants that can be shared with the community-at-large.
Anchor 9: Within the confines of this low orbit dry-dock, UNSC craft undergo rapid repair and rearmament in support of the enduring war effort. But for the small squads of infantry who now fight over the mirrored interior hallways and open central hangar bay, this platform no longer provides any safe harbor — whether the close quarters combat is occurring inside or out of its artificial gravitational field. Anchor 9 allows 2 to 8 players to face off in game variants including Free for All, Team Slayer and Team Objective.
Breakpoint: Atop this icy precipice, the Invasion continues. These modular archaeological labs were never intended to withstand such a large scale onslaught of Covenant military power, but the information being extracted here may prove vital to humanity's survival. In response to the imminent Covenant threat, UNSC ground and air assets have been deployed to bolster entrenched Spartan countermeasures. This dig site must yield salvation, or it will become a grave. Breakpoint offers multiplayer mayhem for 8-16 players, and supports the Invasion and Big Team Battle game variants.
