New Halo Maps Are Up

In case there's anyone staying up late.. The Bungie weekly update said they expect the new maps about 9:00 am, but they're up now. They did say the release might be staggered a little bit for some people. An extra Arrow Icon appears in the XBox Live menu next to Content Download when the downloads are available to you. Each double-pack is about 6000 blocks and takes a minute or two to download. Containment (snow) and Warlock (small arena) are the free ones. Turf (city) and Sanctuary (ruins) cost $5.99. The DLC browser does mention that the maps will be free June 28 for the non-web-savvy who might have bought them without knowing the fee structure.

Edit: Wow, Containment's a blast. Bases are like Helms Deep castle fortifcations. The drop gate is cool, and it recloses after a couple minutes. You can otherwise storm the walls on ramps or sneak in through tunnels on both sides. I can foresee a million funny moments with Warthogs and the land mines in the middle.
Warlock is pretty similar to Wizard, but it's really pretty with rain, steam and lights all over. It's a nice change from Foundation for four-player symmetrical maps.
 
I have them downloading now. you don't need to keep checking, once you login to live the content download thing will have an arrow on it. I have no one on my friends list thats on right now. If you wanna have a runaround send a request to

Do you know if there's any way to hook up your XBOX Live if you have wireless internet (because you're in a hotel). Can you hook it up through a router?

I'd love to check out these maps.
