If you're a fan of Halo 3, yet haven't quite dipped your toes in the DLC pool yet, then this bit of news concerning the upcoming Halo 3: ODST may excite you. The game will arrive at retail this fall with all of Halo 3's 24 multiplayer maps. This includes The Heroic Map Pack, The Legendary Map Pack, Cold Storage, The Mythic Map Pack (set for release this spring on XBLM and bundled with Halo Wars CE), and three new maps exclusive to the Halo 3: ODST package.

Someone's already got their hands on the Halo 3: Recon-themed December issue of Game Informer. Spilled the beans. Those beans tell us that, as you could probably have guessed when you first heard it spoken of as an "expansion", Halo 3: Recon is only 3-5 hours long. Which is pretty damn short. Luckily, then, it'll have a pretty damn short price tag, Bungie's Joe Staten saying "we do not view this as a $60 title". Hopefully he means $30, and not $59.99.
