"Ubisoft announced today that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow is about to get an infusion of fresh multiplayer maps, available (of course) via Xbox Live.
The first, "Village," is a small map designed for teams of five or less. It's also available free of charge, right now.
Four more maps will soon be released in the form of Assault Pack #1, for which Ubisoft is asking a mere $5.00 to download. The company expects to have these available within the next few weeks. Get ready."
So that's about £2.99 in real money.
Think I'll wait for reviews as I'm not exactly desperate for new maps. Still, it's a decent little package if you play Black Arrow a lot.

It's the original Half Life, but revamped with the new HL2 engine.
CS:Source is the same. The beta of Dust looks fantastic.
I've got Half Life, Counter Strike a bunch of the other mods. I've also preloaded Half Life 2. What is Counter Strike: Source exactly? Counter Strike: Condition Zero was a standalone game wasn't it? I'd have to pay for it if I try to download it via Steam.
What is Half Life: Source as in the Half Life 2 Silver and Gold packages?
Spikecast - I will get it tonight, I have registered the steam account and I can already pre-load Half Life 2 for offline play. Will probably just do an Auto Update on the standard CS: Source that I have now.

Nope which is slightly annoying!
