How to Download Halo 3 Custom Maps

Developer Bungie Software and publisher Microsoft released Halo 3, the final chapter in the core Halo series, for the Microsoft Xbox 360 console in 2007. This first-person action game features nine single-player levels that take players -- in the shoes of Master Chief -- through varied environments, but it is the game's online multi-player component that gives it staying power. Though Halo 3 comes with 11 multi-player maps, gamers can create and download a virtually limitless selection of custom maps.
