The nice folks at Bungie saw fit to supply a few of us here at Gamepro with access to the new Legendary Map Pack that's due to hit Live next Tuesday. Since the maps are not yet available in matchmaking, I was restricted to goofing around all by my lonesome in a custom game. Still, I was able to get a good feel for the new content. Hit the jump for my impressions.

Remember that story a few days ago about Master Chief being playable in Unreal Tournament III? Well, apparently not only is Microsoft alright with that, they're pretty happy about it.
