Cold Storage (http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14556), the new multiplayer map for Halo3 will be released on July 7th for FREE. Additionally, the Legendary Map Pack will see its price reduced from 800 MS points to 600 MS points [Bungie Pro upgrade not included after 7/7].
More holiday weekend goodness below...Enjoy your 4th of July!
Cold Storage will be available for free beginning on July 7, Bungie Day, on Xbox Live Marketplace.
Additionally, don’t forget to grab the one-day-only free gamerpics and theme on 7/7.
Beginning on July 7, there will be a 48-hour long seven-player FFA playlist in Halo 3’s Matchmaking where you can turn the calendar back to 2001 and control l Rockets, Invis and Snipe.
For now, Cold Storage will be implemented in regular rotation in playlists that require the Legendary Maps. To avoid confusion, playlists that previously required the Legendary Maps will now remind players that they need “all Maps” to participate, and since Cold Storage is free, it shouldn’t be a big deal for you to grab the map on July 7 and then return to your regularly scheduled business in SWAT.
Additionally, on 7/7, Microsoft is dropping the price of the Legendary Map Pack from 800 spacebucks to 600 spacebucks. That price drop does mean that purchases after 7/7 will no longer include the Bungie Pro bonus.
We’re trying to churn one last thing out today regarding Cold Storage, and we hope to have that for you folks later this afternoon. We’re just squeezing it through the download system this morning. If something cataclysmic happens and it doesn’t get out today, I’ll stop drinking beer and consuming grilled meats over the long weekend and get it up for ya’all.
