Getting the exclusive scoop once again, IGN lifted the veil and posted a few screenshots of a brand new, yet to be announced Halo 3 multiplayer map called Isolation.

Isolation is considered to be a medium size map that takes place in an enclosed environment where players can shoot it out up top amongst the sparse trees and rolling grassy hills or head underground and duke it out in the dark and moist tunnels. IGN also posted a quick Q&A with lead multiplayer man Tyson Green where he mentioned that the map was designed for Multi-Flag CTF, but said that Team Slayer works like a beaut too. Green then hinted at a special "feature" that happens when playing Isolation for a while, but he refused to spoil what exactly happens. We're thinking it has something to do with the underground aspect of the map, because the IGN supplied screenshots show what to be some sort of white eggs or fungus that grows underground. So, maybe something hatches? Whatever the special surprise may be, Isolation looks amazingly fun and should be a Forge fan favorite. Look for more Isolation screenshots after you make the jump.
