foundry Following the revelation of the Legendary Map Pack, Bungie has announced that the Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3 will become a free download starting tomorrow, March 25, at 2 AM Pacific time.

The map pack includes the maps Rat’s Nest, Foundry and Stand Off; it was originally released in December 2007 for 800 Microsoft points.

“Remember, as of the April playlist update, the Free Heroic Maps will be required in Ranked Big Team, Social Big Team, Team Slayer and Rocket Race playlists,” writes Bungie’s Luke Smith on the studio’s website. “We’re requiring these maps in the following playlists to give players more options with the map rotations and by including a high population playlist like Team Slayer, we hope that the maps will permeate through the Community, resulting in more games played on these maps in Matchmaking.”

The Legendary map pack is set for release this April for 800 Microsoft points. It is unclear as to when this pack will become free.
