I don't think one of them is sidewinder. Containment is as close to sidewinder as we are going to get. Elongation is a remake of longest, with some additions. Gemini is inside a covenant ship. It has those automatic opening doors. I don't know about the other maps.
Here is the info from Bungie
They havent announced the date for the rest of the maps, but I am sure we have at least a month before we see those.

I believe that's the date they said it would come out. I doubt it'll be much later than that.

thanks to Tru (god love him), he has found the first pics of Terminal & Backwash. they came from the pre-order demo box of the map pack disc which comes out: June 28th- nikon.bungie.org/images/mappackboxart_huge.jpghere are the descriptions of all the maps except for Backwash (also found by TruSoljah)- Relic- This map is more reminiscent of a Halo 1 single player map than anything else. It has a distinct “Silent Cartographer” feel. Much like Zanzibar, this map is set up perfectly for single flag CTF or other offense-defense based game-types. The map is set on an island with a medium-sized covenant structure (the relic) towering over vast, grassy plains. The offensive team begins on one far end of the oblong island. The starting point looks like a dropship point from H2 single player. Hills and a downed pelican give the offensive team enough cover to organize and launch an offensive strike without worry of being spawn-killed. It seemed to me that a warthog was also positioned here. To the right of the offensive spawn point lie a sniper rifle and a perfect shot into the defending team’s base. The base, which appears to consist of two or three levels, has a wide open top level where the flag is placed. This makes it a pain to defend. In the basement there is a switch which players can use to open a portal between the offensive spawn point and the base, making it much easier to move quickly when rushing the flag. Practice your sniping skills because this level appears to be very open. We were all very impressed with this map Terminal- This level is unlike anything you have ever seen. It appears to be set in an industrial train depot. Why a train depot you ask? The name “Terminal” should give it away. Two trams run parallel to each other down the middle of the map were speeding locomotives randomly tear through, killing anything in their path. Power ups are placed on platforms between the tracks. This ought to make for some interesting scenarios of suicidal master chiefs grabbing the overshield just in time to jump in front of an oncoming bullet train. I can’t wait for all the crazy home made vids that come from that one. It was hard to tell but the map seemed fairly large; large enough to fit a wraith tank inside at least. Multiple levels are everywhere, both indoors and out. There was so much going on in this level that it is hard to say for sure what we were seeing. Gemini- This level takes place on High Charity and is possibly the most visually stunning of the four we saw. I don’t think we saw the entire map either. From what we saw the map takes place both inside the structure of High Charity and in the domed middle area. The spawn point we saw was inside a room that lead to a garden area. A power-up sits like a jewel in the head-dress of a giant prophet statue that stands below a winding tree. In front of the statue is a door that leads out into the middle of High Charity were the Forerunner ship can be seen. All of the doors are like the Covenant doors in single player H2 and will open when you stand in close proximity. This is as far as we got, so I am unsure if there exists a symmetrical part of the map. It seems perfect for 4-8 players and slayer based gametypes. King and Territories would also be a likely option. Elongation- This map is a no brainer. It is Longest redone with much more detail. It seems larger and more intricate. Moving walkways and boxes make this map more interesting. The only thing that make is reminiscent of longest is the two parallel walkways and multiple levels.

i wanna see terminal...it looks interesting the train..but all of these maps sound cooler than the current maps..i am already bored of them
also
i dont wanna have to buy a disk...sure the disk would be sweet but i dont wanna buy it just for some maps and a few special features i would rather download the maps but i will buy the cd if i have to but it will take longer for me 2 get it
however i do find the disk intriging...if u look at the box link...in some print off to the side it says something like.......halo 2 reqruied blahblah....xbox live not needed for all content
so it says u need halo 2 but not xbox live........are they including other stuff other than mulitplayer? or just mpas and movies..only time will tell
