This is from a friend of mine over at mlgpro.com thanks hitthelightz
This is a copy of a thread I made over at forge hub and contains some interesting info. At this point I'm pretty convinced we're getting new maps in addition to better versions of existing ones next week. Here it is:
First off read the bungie weekly update that came out today:
Bungie.net : Inside Bungie : News
Now read this but read what I have to say after as well

Several people have confirmed that after the new site update there were 7 new heatmaps all labeled as secret but this was quickly taken off and the heatmaps were not up for a while. People at first speculated that these were the new variants of pit, snowbound, etc. but that makes little sense given that those are variants of existing maps, and there would be no reason to remove them. If you've been following bungie you'll remember the leaked pax achievements there was a list of six maps and skulls that would accompany them. Name below:
- Assembly
- Longshore
- Orbital
- Heritic
- Sandbox
- Citadel
I think we can be pretty sure these are all multiplayer maps because we already know assembly, we think we've seen sandbox (edge acceptance video), and orbital sounds like moonbase alpha.
So how does this all come together?
I remember luke saying in an update how giddy people were about the tentative plan for the spring and I think this is why. All six of those maps will come next week at the same time as au2. The seventh map will come two days later on halo's bday and I'm guessing will be a remake and probably free as well.
The thursday update also supports this, because it leaves tomorrow open for unveiling the mythic map pack. Someone asked why the update was released on thursday and the response was truly fitting:
Achronos: Why indeed?

I'm going to wet myself if we get seven new maps next week, discuss and thank me for this awesome post.
