Halo 3 sells more than 7.3m copies

Halo 3 has sold more than 7.3 million copies, it has emerged.

Also, many lucky owners of this next-generation battle game have downloaded the Heroic Map Pack of the game which is available on the Xbox Live online service.

A new wave of downloadable content will be available on April 15th, introducing three new maps - Ghost Town, Avalanche and one other that has not been named.

Ghost Town is "a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins outside the once-prosperous city of Voi". It features collapsed ceilings, catwalks and stairways.

Avalanche is a tribute to the Sidewinder map from the original Halo - a "massive, vehicle-oriented objective map".

Halo 3 racked up £17 million worth of sales in the UK in its first week.

"Halo 3 has become a pop culture phenomenon," said Microsoft's Shane Kim.
