Aliens vs. Predator (vs. woefully overmatched Colonial Marines) is getting a handful of new killing grounds. Sega America announced today that the Bughunt Map Pack will be available for download next week.

Four new maps and new weather types are featured in Bughunt. Two of the maps are designed for Deathmatch, Predator Hunt, infestation, Species Deathmatch, Mixed Species Deathmatch, and Domination modes, while the other two maps are meant to be played in Survival mode -- Aliens vs. Predator's take on Horde.


The Bughunt maps are:
Crashsite: an outdoors map placing up to 18 players in a Jungle swamp – dominated by a crashed drop ship. Radiating away from the swamp is a waterfall overlooking an expansive vista, which is part of a large "ring" of playable area that surrounds the central swamp, with connecting spokes to aid player movement through the map.

Furious: an arena style map placing up to 12 players in a central cylinder shaped area dominated by a huge active furnace in the middle.

Monument: an outdoor map set on BG-386 in a previously unseen Monument area to the deceased Predator Lord.

Tempest: an outdoor map which places players in the BG-386 Colony area on a dark and stormy night.
The Bughunt Map Pack will be available for download on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Steam for PC on July 7 for 560 MS Points/$6.99.



Sharkey says: I haven't played AvP since launch when there were still enough bugs to make the experience painful. This new map pack does make me curious how patches have improved things, though. What do you think AvP fans, should I jump back into the battle?
