Halo 3 Planet

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.

Due to lack of quality clips from the playoffs, the Halo3Planet.com Spring Smash Grifball Tournament’s highlights will almost assuredly not happen. At least we got one solid reel out.

However, one of our admins, HaloHero, has been editing the highlights for the Rooster Teeth Official Grifball League, and the above videos are the final products. We hope you enjoy them. Look forward to more in the coming summer league season (date of league unconfirmed).

Also, be sure to check out our Grifball Spring Smash t-shirt at the H3P Apparel Store.

Bungie always polishes their announcements up to be so nice.  This time, they’ve got a Vidoc of the brand new Legendary Map pack scheduled for release on the 15th of April.

I’ve gotta say.  I just got a WHOLE lot more excited about Ghost Town than I originally was after watching this.  That puts me a little over the edge with anxiety when you factor in Avalanche and Blackout…  Also, is it just me, or does Avalanche finally look like a good excuse to use the Hornet?  Especially when you consider that it’s no longer got the supreme advantage (over everyone) with missiles.

A High Res version of the film can be found here.  Additional action shots can be found here.
