HaloRadar: Try Before You Buy

Rat's Nest is the complete opposite of Standoff - ugly as hell, but unlike any other map in Halo 3's multiplayer. A generic military base, Rat's Nest basically consists of hallways, corners, more hallways, more corners and the occasional cargo hold, all depicted in a lovely rainbow of grays and darker grays.

While the map is boring to look at, the generous number of Warthogs, Mongeese and Ghosts ensure it is never boring to play. You'll never have to fight over a single vehicle, and there's always someone willing to ride shotgun. In fact, we've never witnessed so much hilarious and spectacular mayhem in one place.

Battling through the flat labyrinthine layout also reminded us strongly of Call of Duty 4... which definitely isn't a bad thing.
