A lot of gamers are anxiously awaiting Bungie's Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack slated to go live this April 15. For some of the more hardcore players, those two weeks may seem like an eternity. Thankfully, some members of the team who made the maps decided to give out a little information about one of the maps in the game: Blackout.

Players who've tried the Sidewinder map in Halo 2 will probably remember this map since it is essentially a re-imagination of it. While some of the more prominent landmarks can still be found, expect the map to be a little more easy to travel since some of the harder jumps have been toned down.

It was also revealed that Blackout is set in a UNSC research station in the Arctic. According to Allen Murray, the producer of all Halo 3 DLC, it is where all of the R&D on military grade Otter Pop rations took place.

Murray also mentioned that the map would have some pretty interesting scenery including cool racks of glacier core samples, Doppler radar, and other pieces of research gear strewn about. Further lending the Artic feel to the map is the addition of the "beautiful Aurora Borealis in the sky."
