Breaking with Microsoft's trend of providing additional map packs following the successful releases of 2 and 3, the latest instalment of the series won't be getting any downloadable content.

Don't expect any downloadable content says Halo: ODST developer Lars Bakken in an interview with G4TV. "There are no current plans for any ODST DLC," he tells them.

Instead, Bakken is hard at work designing the multiplayer component for the next game in the franchise, Halo Reach. "The team is full steam ahead on Reach with a lot of work between now and the multiplayer beta and then final release next fall."

Halo Reach is slated for release sometime in 2010, though we anticipate early autumn. Until then, you'll have to be satisfied with the maps included in ODST because there aren't any more on the way.
