"Anxiety" is one of the work-in-progress DLC maps included in the ''Halo 3: ODST'' modding toolkit as of the July 2023 update. It is a unique case among ''Halo'' multiplayer maps, as its origins lie in the original ''[[Halo Custom Edition]]'' modding community for PC in the early 2000s; the map is a remake of a ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|Halo PC]]'' map of the same name created by modders Mothergoat and | "Anxiety" is one of the work-in-progress DLC maps included in the ''Halo 3: ODST'' modding toolkit as of the July 2023 update.

During the production of the ''Halo 3'' map [[Heretic]], Keith was hired to work at [[Bungie]] on a remote contract, and evidently worked on incorporating anxiety into ''Halo 3'' in some form.{{Ref/Twitter|KornnerStudios|1680433535583404032|KornnerStudios #UnidentifiedWin32Phenomena|Quote=As I recall, Mrs Double Fire did some contract work for Bungie around the time of Halo3.

The map is symmetrical in layout and uses the [[Installation 00|Ark]] skybox from regular ''Halo 3''. It is set in a box canyon with a base at each end and a bridge going over the top of the map. Each team gets a [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]] and a [[M274 Mongoose]]. | The map is symmetrical in layout and uses the [[Installation 00|Ark]] skybox from regular ''Halo 3''.

"Desecration" is a map included in the ''ODST'' modding files, seemingly intended to replicate the aesthetics of the [[Flood]]-infested Covenant interiors found in the main campaign. Similarly to the interior of the crashed [[Ket-pattern battlecruiser|battlecruiser]] ''[[Indulgence of Conviction]]'' in [[Floodgate]] or [[High Charity]] in [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], the map features Covenant architecture overtaken by what seems to be Flood growths with a crashed [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] atop. The map has lots of vertical play, with [[ordnance pod]]s scattered around to provide weapons and multiple [[gravity lift]]s to aid traversal. | "Desecration" is a map included in the ''ODST'' modding files, seemingly intended to replicate the aesthetics of the [[Flood]]-infested Covenant interiors found in the main campaign.

"Landslide" is a large Big Team Battle map with a very similar art theming to [[Valhalla]], reusing the bases and skybox from that map alongside the general palette of environment textures and trees. The map itself is a rough horseshoe shape, with a single team base at either end. The two bases are both situated at the lowest point on the map, with the map inclining toward the middle of the horseshoe - the top of the hill contains a third, neutral base.
