Yay - Definitely makes it convenient to hold off buying any new maps.

Just some minor housekeeping this week. We wanted to address an oft-asked, but pertinent question about the Halo 3 Multiplayer content that will ship with Halo 3: ODST this Fall. All twenty-four Halo 3 Multiplayer maps will be in the box. All shipping maps: The Heroic Map Pack, The Legendary Map Pack, Cold Storage, The Mythic Map Pack, and three brand new exclusive maps are included.

Well that kind of sucks... I thought ODST was going to be a new multiplayer experience, not the same old maps. In ODST you don't play as a spartan though, right? So presumably in multiplayer you also will not play as a spartan (which means no super-human jumping ability?). I'll probably hold off on buying the Mythic map pack as long as possible. All of my friends who aren't too cheap to buy DLC moved on to Gears 2, so I mostly play with someone who doesn't buy DLC. I've hardly played the Legendary maps.

you play as an ODST which is a normal soldier I believe but you might be able to use that character in halo online. I think the gameplay is different for ODST( I heard more like gears of war mixed with halo) but multiplayer will still be the same AFAIK

Actually, it will be more like a cross between Halo and Splinter Cell than Gears of War. Not that it will be a straight up stealth game but the general idea is that while you are elite and highly trained, you aren't as tough as a Spartan and you start the game out alone. So you're not going to want to get into big fire fights unless you have to.
