Well was looking at Bungie, and BLAM! the weekly update was released :)
So i had a look, and they released some information on the new items for HALO 3, in the ledgendary map pack.
Some of the items which have been discussed by Bungie are the following:
On Avalanche:There are forerunner walls, corners, and a sweet little sniper perch. There are also Energy Blockers that fit in the openings; so for instance, if you wanted to cut off a route through the center you could do that now. They are like a solid version of the shield door, so nothing can get through them and they fit snugly in the door frames.
On Blackout:The map is human themed now, so it uses some of the existing Foundry stuff with minor alterations. We also put in a door that lets you block off basically any of the separate buildings. Want to make a version of Blackout with the BR tower interior totally blocked off? You can now.
On Ghost Town: Because of the size and layout of Ghost Town there isn’t a lot of flexibility with forge objects, that said we tried to include as many interesting things as possible and keep visually similar to Ghost Town. There are a number of blocks and barricades as well as a few platform-like objects that we haven’t seen as many of on other maps.There are some cool ramps and bridges and also a scaffolding platform. Basically a lot of ways to make some new routes and block off existing ones. The objects try to use the existing world objects where they can, so you’ll see lots of wood and metal.
Also on the map are new 'Forge Filters'; these are basically visual effects, that can be placed over certain areas to give different effects, i.e. making a more lush effect, or creating a black and white effect. For these i cant describe them very well, id recommend going on to the Link below, and its near the bottom with pictures :)
