Halo 3 is getting a new map from Halo Online

Halo Online will live, piecemeal, in other games

Not content with performing mere upkeep on FPS game last updated more than a decade ago, is about to get a new map.

The information comes via a post on space games. Listed in everything coming in February is "A new map for Halo 3 from Halo Online", and an accompanying image of the new area for players to batter with rocket launchers and needlers.

Halo Online was a free-to-play Halo Microsoft has repeatedly attempted to quash. It was hoped whatever was usable from Halo Online might make its way into the Master Chief Collection, and it seems like 343 Industries has now begun that process, starting with this as-yet-unnamed map.

The one screenshot, below, doesn't quite line up with anything that's been publicly viewable from Halo Online, but it could be a touched up or altered version of something.

Other bits and bobs getting flighted include content for Season 6, and FOV sliders and keyboard and mouse for consoles. Plenty to keep players happy as we wait for the Halo Infinite release date.
