Despite just releasing a few new maps not too long ago, Bungie was at hand at the MLG San Diego Pro Circuit yesterday and had quite a surprise for all the attendees when they announced that a new map was coming out for Halo 3.

Dubbed “Cold Storage”, the new map is a remake of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved map, Chill Out. A 2v2 exhibition match took place between two of MLG’s most popular pros, Karma and Legend, and Bungie’s own Lukems and Shishka, when the new map was revealed.

The map will be released sometime soon, but Bungie has not confirmed an actual release date.

Being a huge fan of the original Chill Out map, I’m excited for another wonderful remake from Bungie. By looking at some of the pics, the map looks great and will be sure to keep Halo 3 fans pleased.

Check out some pics of the new map below.
