Halo: Reach will be getting its first taste of downloadable content starting next month.

Microsoft announced the Noble Map Pack will arrive on Xbox Live starting November 30, 2010. The pack includes three all-new multiplayer maps, Anchor 9, Tempest, and Breakpoint. Additional achievements totaling 250 gamerscore points are also being added.

The pack will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

Here's a detailed list of the maps per Microsoft:

Tempest – "Though we may never fully understand these devices, it is not our nature to leave ancient stones unturned." This abandoned shoreline facility bends both sea and sky to an unnatural purpose, but the ground itself has quickly become another all too familiar battlefield. Though the two opposing symmetrical bases may never reveal their ancient purpose, both now offer makeshift shelter and access to strategic routes perfectly suited for small and large scale skirmishes alike. Tempest supports 8 – 16 players and offers a variety of modes including Free for All, Team Slayer, Team Objective and Big Team Battle. Tempest also provides players with a huge Forge palette, allowing them to create new custom map variants that can be shared with the community-at-large.

Anchor 9 – "Orbital dockyards provide rapid refueling and repairs for a variety of UNSC vessels." Within the confines of this low orbit dry-dock, UNSC craft undergo rapid repair and rearmament in support of the enduring war effort. But for the small squads of infantry who now fight over the mirrored interior hallways and open central hangar bay, this platform no longer provides any safe harbor – whether the close quarters combat is occurring inside or out of its artificial gravitational field. Anchor 9 allows 2-8 players to face off in game variants including Free for All, Team Slayer and Team Objective.

Breakpoint – "ONI officials believe the data buried within this artifact is key to our survival." Atop this icy precipice, the Invasion continues. These modular archaeological labs were never intended to withstand such a large scale onslaught of Covenant military power, but the information being extracted here may prove vital to humanity's survival. In response to the imminent Covenant threat, UNSC ground and air assets have been deployed to bolster entrenched Spartan countermeasures. This dig site must yield salvation, or it will become a grave. Breakpoint offers multiplayer mayhem for 8-16 players, and supports the Invasion and Big Team Battle game variants.

Hey Mendicate Bias, here's how you can spend some of your points.

They all look very good.

Finally a new Invasion map, the gamemode is full of win but way to less maps.

Will buy this pack for sure

So my refund should be just in time or close to it... sweet.

I hoping the DLC is a bit more regular/expansive (or both). Seeing as Firefight maps are independent of multiplayer they could do with releasing a pack for that aswell. And a let down about it only having 3 maps, was hoping Bungie would squeeze a fourth in but oh well.

And although those maps look pretty good I still prefer the 4 concepts Ive got in my head (wishful thinking I know)

$10= Bungie is to good for Activision.

Well its not early enough for me, by that time Black Ops will be out. Shame I still might get it, but my attention span for games even great games is small.

Looks like we'll be missing selnor for a little while longer :P.

Tempest reminds me a bit of Relic from Halo 2:

haha just what I was thinking

Excited for more invasion maps, that playlist has so much potential to be pure fun, it just need a little more variety in maps.

None of them are for team swat? That would be weak.
