In celebration of its self-coined holiday, 'Bungie Day' (that was yesterday, if you're interested) the Halo developer's released screenshots and details on the three new Halo 3 maps shipping with ODST.
The three new maps are Heretic, Citadel and Longshore. Here's Bungie's blurb:
Heretic returns players to familiar ground as the "Halo 2" arena Midship makes its long-rumored debut in "Halo 3." The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear austere on first glance, but Heretic's symmetrical spaces require players to execute complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents.
Citadel may be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to stay in constant communication, keep their heads on a swivel, and be prepared to adjust combat tactics in close quarters.
Longshore lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa, but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large scale combat and well suited for smaller affairs, Longshore's multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.

In addition, the fake holiday's also seen the arrival of Bungie Pro Video, which the developer describes as "a pretty sweet tool for capturing and sharing your OMGWTFBBQ moments in Halo 3." Read more about that here.
Really looking forward to ODST, there are so many FPS's to choose from this year but I think that Bungies next offering will be my most played.
It might not have the story of a Bioshock 2 or the sheen and production values of Modern Warfare 2 but I bet its the most fun (in my house anyway) to be had with a shooter this year.
