Every year on July 7th, the developers of Halo 3 give something back to the fans. This most often comes in the shape of some new playable content, free downloads or similar. Bungie Day 2008 does not disappoint, with a completely new multi player map called Cold Storage hitting the Xbox LIVE marketplace. Even the price of the Legendary Map Pack is coming down from 800 credits to 600 credits. That's a saving of around UKP £1.60 (AUD $3.30) in real money. Do not expect the download to be a painless experience though, at least not if you are competing with the other 8 million or so Halo 3 players around the world who will no doubt be trying to grab the free gamer pics and dashboard theme. Not least because, according to Bungie they are going to be available on this one day only! It certainly looks like being a good one as well, inspired as Halo fans might have already guessed, by the Halo:Combat Evolved map 'Chill Out' and set in an abandoned research facility. The backstory being that accidental contamination compromised the centre which now lies empty. If you are just after the map itself, you might do better to wait a day or three. Screenshots to whet your appetite are already available of course. Or how about a video to get you prepared for what is to come? Additional Bungie Day goodies include a 48 hour long seven player playlist in Halo 3’s Matchmaking system where you will be able to roll back the years to 2001 and control retro Rockets, Invis and Snipe weaponry. Let the Seven7h Day fun begin...
