Socom 3 Gets New Map Pack

With all the focus on current gen games, it's nice to see developers haven't abandoned the only living (if you call that living) last gen console, the Ps2.

A new map pack has been released for SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault. This third map packs includes maps present in both SOCOM and SOCOM II. The best part of all of this is, the map pack is completely free.

Hot off the presses, a new downloadable map pack has just been released for SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault. This is the third downloadable map pack released for the two titles. This new downloadable map pack includes the classic SOCOM and SOCOM II maps Crossroads, Fishhook, Frostfire and Guidance.

Crossroads is a SOCOM II urban map based in North Africa. Crossroads consistently ranks as the most popular classic SOCOM map and a next generation version of Crossroads will be featured in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation. It is playable in a day or night setting with up to 16 players in Suppression, Demolition and Control gametypes.

Fishhook is a SOCOM II map based on a seaside North African village. It is playable with up to 16 players in a day or night setting in Suppression, Extraction, Control and Breach gametypes.

Frostfire is a SOCOM map which features an oil drilling platform off of the coast of Alaska. It is playable in a day or night setting with up to 16 players in Suppression, Control and Demolition gametypes.

Guidance is a SOCOM II map which features an ex-soviet military base in Russia. It is playable in a day or night setting with up to 16 players in Suppression, Demolition and Control gametypes.

The price of the new map pack, FREE! In fact, we are making all three of the SOCOM 3 and SOCOM CA Downloadable Map Packs free from this point forward. This is no April Fools joke. We want to give something back to all of the fans who have stuck with us all of this time.

This is a great opportunity to get your Crossroads fix in before SOCOM Confrontation is released on the PLAYSTATION®3 this September. It will also give you a good opportunity to see first hand how far SOCOM has come with the latest PS3™ installment. After playing both versions, there is no way I can go back. Experiencing Crossroads in SOCOM Confrontation on the PS3 is like experiencing it again for the first time. While the layout is instantly familiar to anyone who has spent hundreds of hours playing Crossroads in SOCOM II, the level of detail which is achieved on the PS3 makes it a whole new experience.

Velociraptor Map Pack To Celebrate 1 Mil Sales

Touchstone Interactive is releasing a 5 map set by the name of the Velociraptor Map Pack for Turok tomorrow (March 27, 2008) for 400 MS Points on Xbox Live and 4.99 on the PSN.

Some say it's in celebration of selling over a million copies of Turok, but it's probably just a coincidence that worked out well.

The maps are scheduled to show up on the PC eventually, but no news as to how much they will cost or if they will be free.

Halo's Legendary Map Pack

Halo 3 is going to be getting the "Legendary Map Pack" that will have 3 new maps for all you Haloids to tea-bag each other on for hours on end, all for the low price of 800 Microsoft Points. Only two of the three have been announced in full detail, with the third for "people who like smaller maps". Read about the other two after the break.

Ghost Town is a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins outside the once-prosperous city of Voi. Collapsed ceilings and shell-battered buildings provide both valuable cover and deadly traps, as catwalks and stairways take the fight from claustrophobic ground combat to dizzying rooftop battles. Ghost Town is a mid-sized map ideal for Team Slayer games and smaller, objective types.

The second map, Avalanche, is a tribute to Sidewinder, a "Halo: Combat Evolved" fan-favorite. This massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors and brand new vehicle variants. Take a ride and admire the visual variety from the cockpit of the retuned Hornet.
