Subsequent to its September release, Halo: Reach has earned laurels from different sections of the gaming community. This highly renowned battleground is now set to unfold a new story as the first map pack makes its way to the domain. It has been announced that the Noble Map Pack will arrive for the title later this year through Xbox Live and retail outlets.
The map pack will unleash three new intense environments dubbed Tempest, Anchor 9 and Breakpoint to enhance online multiplayer campaigns. Allowing gamers to immerse in severe action, the pack is expected to unmask several small as well as colossal wars across these locations while extending new Achievements worth 250 Gamerscore.
Touted to be a frozen xeno-archaeology site, Tempest is said to be a distinct combat zone for 8 – 16 players as they fight it out through differing modes such as Free for All, Team Player, Team Objective and Big Team Battle. Enclosed with a Forge palette, it facilitates gamers to craft custom map variants which can be shared with others for a gratifying experience.
Splashing red around a low orbit dry-dock namely Anchor 9, the pack brings in this harbor which is a repair and rearmament ground for UNSC vessels. The game will allow a face-off between 2-8 players in the mirrored interior hallways and open central hangar bay of this setting through Free for All, Team Slayer as well as Team Objective modes.
Finally, Breakpoint supports gameplay involving 8-16 players which will require them to dig vital information from this region to fortify the survival of mankind in these difficult times. Infusing Invasion and Big Team Battle variants, this place is expected to deliver an amazing ride for gamers.
Designed by Bungie, the Noble Map Pack will be released worldwide on November 30, 2010 for 800 MS Points from Xbox Live. Gamers can also procure it by purchasing a Microsoft Points card which will be available at retail outlets.
