Subject: ODST maps as DLC?

As the veil of lunacy descends, as past and future blend and shuffle, one image appears and flickers through the landscape, wraithlike. It is the Hatchling, the Newborn, walking the path of corruption, a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible.

I did a quick search of the forums but didn't find any definitive answers so I'm making a new topic. Does anyone know if Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel will be available for DLC as well as on the ODST bonus disc or if they will be able to be pulled from the disc to your HDD so they can be used with the original Halo 3 disc? If not, then doesn't that mean the map packs on our HDDs will be uselessly taking up space once we have ODST?

That brings up another question: if say I delete my map packs to free up space and use the ODST disc to play Halo 3 MM, will all my map and game variants still work? I don't know if they are separate files on the HDD or if they are stored with the original map they modify and so would they be deleted with the map packs?

If anyone knows for sure it would be greatly appreciated. And if there's any Bungie folks perusing the forums today, this would be a great question to answer in the Weekly Update. Thanks.

I think they will probably offer the maps for download as well. They advertise them as "three new Halo 3 maps." On a side note, I hope you can install ODST. I hate using my DVD drive to run Halo 3.
