Of course this will be downloadable content for Live users, but need not fret to all those Live impared; a disc, for sale of $20, will feature all nine maps for download directly to your Xbox with no internet attatched. They preview 4 of the maps in this link...which I wont give you...Okay here ya go.

Well, they're here. I got them at 9:24 AM and they look purdy!
I'll will jot down the info for each map on this post. Enjoy them.
***
Name: Turf
Purchased?: Yes
Size: Small
Layout: Not symmetrical at all. Only way to tell if your base is at a point is by marked soda machines or by landmarks. Alot of twists and turns, with ledges to jump up on.
Weaponry: Shotguns, Brute Shots, Battle Rifles, SMGs, Plasma Pistols, Magnums, Gernades, and Plasma Gernades
Vehicles?: Yes. 1 Warthog
Rating: 3/5. Though very diverse and fun to hide in, sniper rifles would have been perfect. There are no swords and rockets (which I like), but it may make defeating the warthog a chore and it woud have been fun to sneak out of the many corners with a sword.
***
Name: Sanctuary
Purchased?: Yes
Size: Medium
Layout: Though a bit symetrical in the sense that each base is near identical in arcitecture, it's easy to become a bit disoriented by the vast ammount of detail that went into the level.
Weaponry: Sword, plasma rifles, Battle Rifles, Magnum, Sniper rifle, Carbine, Needler, Plasma Pistol, Shot gun, Gernades, Plasma Gernades
Vehicles?: No.
Rating: 4/5. Very lush enviroment and the level is perfect for CTF: Fast as the level is quickly traversed, but not easily, to make matches more interesting.
***
Name: Warlock
Purchased?: No
Size: Small
Layout: 4 way symetrical enviroment. Warlock is a remake of the Halo 1 level, Wizard. Instead of just a red and blue base, there is now a green and yellow base as well. Airjets have replaced ladders but teleporters remain. Most interesting is some light rain, though hard to notice, has made many puddles around the base.
Weaponry: Shotgun, Battle Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Needer, Plasma Gernades
Vehicles?: No
Rating: 2/5. I'd like to pass judgement later, when I can fight against other people to see how the map performs, but right now Warlock just seems kinda dull. Though certainly to make for fast paced matches (especially Shotguns and Oddball), it just seems like it should have had more.
***
Name: Containment
Purchased?: No
Size: Large (the biggest; bigger than Waterworks)
Layout: Containment is a remake of Sidewinder, like Warlock is a remake of Wizard. Unlike Warlock, Containment is basically completely remodeled from Sidewinder. Many structures litter the snowy battlefield, many of which are just for looks, but there are two bases, one infront of a large dam like gate, and the other infront of a Delta Halo temple like structure. Lots of jumps and gaps for warthog fun. Also, the implication of large mines that when ruptured with heavy fire, or a hard hit from a vehicle, will explode in a massive killing radius.
Weaponry: Just about every thing excluding the Brute Shot, Brute Plasma Rifle, and the Sword (will find out more as I've only really skimmed the map).
Vehicles?: Yes. 2 warthogs and 2 ghosts
Rating: 5/5. Probably one of the best maps in Halo 2, Containment will definatly remain for big team battles.
