Previously referred to by it’s code name “O.K. Corral,” the new “Ghost Town” map has been revealed on the Bungie website complete with pretty pictures. This is the first we’ve seen of any of the maps that will be contained in the “Legendary Map Pack.” The map has a very cool jungle look to it, which makes it very different from the other maps I’ve played. Hit the link for more pics and some Q/A with a couple of the map’s designers.

The previously announced auto update for Halo 3 is confirmed to go live tomorrow, February 20th in the “wee hours.” The update contains the much anticipated “melee fix” that has been talked about for quite some time. If you haven’t already read the details, hit the link for a good read.

Major Nelson has just posted his weekly Xbox LIVE stats for last week and for the third week in a row Call of Duty 4 gets to waive the foam finger.
Now one must wonder if Halo 3 will ever make a triumphant return to reclaim it’s throne.
Microsoft and the U.S. Army have launched the third and final installment of Halo 3 training, this time the focus being on Vehicles. (See Sniper School and Heavy Weapons Training.) As before, we are given a Play & Win Sweepstakes to go along with the training. As of this posting, the official U.S. Army Vehicles Play & Win website has yet to be launched, but you can still enter the sweepstakes by downloading the free gamerpic pack (a free theme is available as well) from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. All of this is building up to the Halo 3 Championship Tournament taking place in April, so be sure to start practicing now.
Since I am at work, I cannot confirm the existence of the new training videos on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, however I’m sure they will be available soon, if they aren’t at the moment.
I’ll be sure to update this post when the official website launches.
Sorry, I didn’t get this posted yesterday. Bungie have announced that the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Playlist for Halo 3 is Live and ready for your gaming amusement. The hopper is essentially a modified Ranked Team Doubles playlist and is mostly being used by Bungie to test out their ability to hold tournaments. They will be giving away prizes, but haven’t announced specifics on what will be given away or how to win. Still, it looks like it could be some fun. The hopper will be live from now until Monday morning (Feb. 18) at 2:00 AM PST.
