Bungie Day - the seventh day of the seventh month - comes once a year. This year, celebrate Bungie Day with a slew of content on Xbox LIVE Marketplace including Cold Storage, an update of Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer classic, Chill Out.

The Legendary Map Pack blends old and new. Ghost Town’s asymmetrical mix of confined spaces and long lines of fire makes for frenetic games. Avalanche re-imagines the original Halo classic, Sidewinder, with new features, tweaked vehicles and massive outdoor spaces. Significant changes bring big improvements to the map, yet its contours and cliffs should provide a welcome sense of familiarity. Blackout, on the other hand, is the purest remake to date – all time favorite Lockout gets a graphical overhaul, but retains its challenging mix of ramps, platforms, tunnels and hallways.

Explore the darkness and danger of The Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack – Blackout, Avalanche and Ghost Town. Wander the catwalks and catacombs of Blackout and its vertiginous series of aeries and turrets, illuminated by the chill and baleful glare of a moonlit sky. Avalanche is colder still, and as vast as it is icy. Fly on silent wing through its valleys and caverns. Ghost Town’s ruinous abandonment and forlorn wreckage is a testament to battles past and a warning of battles to come. See all of these spectral spaces from the unique and haunting perspective of an Elite who has known both sides of the conflict. (Not Rated)

The Heroic map pack contains three new maps, each presenting a totally different play style. Standoff’s symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types, while Rat’s Nest’s vast, labyrinthine passages bring something quite new to the Halo multiplayer experience – an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by the Campaign mode ideal for big team battles. Finally, Foundry is the ultimate Forge map – players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of.

On a journey from the Pillar of Autumn to the portals of High Charity, he will encounter not one enemy but many: A terrible army occupies Earth, a vicious parasite is loosed on the galaxy, an ancient alien doomsday weapon is primed and ready to fire... And mankind’s survival hinges on the remaining few.

Take a closer look at two of Halo 3’s coolest features. The Forge map and object editor lets you recreate Halo 3 multiplayer maps to suit your style, or cooperate with up to eight other players to build a new game experience. Saved Films let you replay your games, Campaign or Multiplayer, from any angle, with near complete control over the 3D camera and DVD-like functionality. Both features are explained clearly in this in-depth feature, with input and commentary from Bungie and the game designers.
