Hurrah! More Halo: Reach DLC is hitting planet Earth on March 15. The Defiant Map Pack will come with two new versus maps (Condemned and Highlands) and one Firefight map (Unearthed). The new maps have been made by Certain Affinity and 343 Industries.

Condemned is set in an orbital space station overlooking reach while the Covenant attacks it. It sounds frankly awesome. The new Halo: Reach DLC will set you back 800 MS points when it arrives and earn you an extra 150 Achievement points as part of the deal. See our original Halo: Reach review here.

Halo: Reach has pulled in $200m in European and American sales in the first 24 hours of its launch, according to Microsoft.
