Today Bungie revealed the third and final map in the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack due April 15. Titled Blackout, the map is a remake of Halo 2’s Lockout that substitutes a UNSC Antarctic weather station for the original Forerunner installation.

Unlike Avalanche, which is a reimagining of Combat Evolved’s Sidewinder, Blackout sticks much more closely to its inspiration. “We tried to keep it as close to Halo 2 as possible,” said Bungie’s Dan Miller. In fact, aside the from the obvious visual differences, Bungie assures us that the level’s layout is identical, with only the introduction of Halo 3’s equipment and altered jumping physics differentiating it from the original.

Of course, Bungie plans on watching “the community Forge it up” along with everybody else.
