Halo 3 Planet

Two more images of Cold Storage, the latest Halo 3 map, showed up todays Bungie Weekly Update. This time they are level overviews, and they appear to indicate that the map has been essentially re-skinned and re-spaced for Halo 3, much in the same way that Lockout was updated to Blackout.

Here’s the overview with weapons and items marked, and here is the same screenshot, but without those pesky weapons boxes.

The above is the first of two trailers for the upcoming machinima The Land Grab from Separate Intelligence, a group that a few of our most regular users belong to.

DamnGamer.com got the original release on the trailer and an exclusive interview with the creator, and we recommend you check it out.

Bungie’s updated their gallery with some brand new screenshots of Cold Storage, the remake of the classic Halo map, “Chill out”.  High Resolution versions of the screens can be found in the Bungie Halo 3 gallery.

I think it’s safe to say that the Halo community is pretty excited about the release of this map.  While we don’t have any new details about a release date, Bungie states that we’ll learn more about this map next week!

Arguably Halo: CE’s most popular map, Chill Out was put on display last night by Bungie at the MLG San Diego event, the second stop on the 2008 MLG Pro Circuit. The new map - dubbed ‘Cold Storage’ - was displayed by Luke Smith and Shishka in an exhibition match against two MLG stars. The boys from Bungie made no mention of the intended release date.

MLG has kindly hosted some images from the event. Follow this link for the gallery.

We’ll be keeping you updated on the new maps as they are announced, and we might even help a few lucky readers pay for the pack.
