We all knew it was coming, the first Halo: Reach map pack has been announced today by Bungie. The map pack, named as the Noble Map Pack, will be released on November 30th and brings with it the first Xbox Live achievements update, adding an extra 250 points for all you point hores out there, bringing the grand total up to 1250.

Alongside the points increase, the map pack also brings with it 3 new online multiplayer maps for gamers to enjoy:

  1. Tempest - an 8-16 player map set in around an abandoned facility situated on the shoreline.
  2. Anchor 9 – set in a UNSC controlled orbital dry-dock, this is a cosy 2-8 player map.
  3. Breakpoint - another 8-16 player based map, this time based around a series of frozen archaeological labs.

Bungie didn’t just stop with the announcement of the new map pack. They also announced the start of a brand new competition they are holding for all you Forge fans. Bungie are calling of anyone who thinks they are a dab hand with the Halo Forge feature to enter their new “Forgetacular Contest”, not only will you in with the chance of winning 1 of 7 limited edition Halo: Reach Xbox 360 consoles, but the maps that knock the socks off the guys at Bungie, might be included in future map packs.

For more information about the competition, visit the Bungie site.
