Bungie.net showed off the new map from the soon-to-be-released Legendary Map Pack which will be coming down the pipe for Halo 3 on April 15. Entitled "Blackout", the map goes under the microscope in this interview with several of the Bungie team, and Producer Allen Murray had this to say about what goes into a piece of work like this one. It’s a UNSC research station set in the Arctic, and I am pretty sure that this is also where all of the R&D on military grade Otter Pop rations took place. Early on I thought it was going to be an oil derrick, but that changed over time. We have some cool racks of glacier core samples, Doppler radar and other pieces of research gear strewn about, which makes for a nice touch – and when you look up to see them make sure you notice the beautiful Aurora Borealis in the sky. There were other, more outlandish settings done in the concept phase, but we’ll keep those secret as you never know when we’ll dig into that bag and pull it out for a future project. The Legendary pack will cost $10, but the previously released map pack ("Heroic") will be available for free starting on the very same day.
