Update: Good news folks, in a forum post on Bungie.net (posted in response to this very story no less), Bungie's own Luke Smith has confirmed that details are still coming today. Quoth lukems: "We'll update the site with what folks are looking for extremely late this evening." From the sound of it, we may be looking at an update close to midnight Pacific (which is still Wednesday for many of us). Still, expect some Halo 3 goodness a little bit sooner than we thought. Thanks to shadow0324 for the update.For those of you who've been obsessively refreshing Bungie.net, awaiting today's promised big Legendary Map Pack reveal, your wait is going to be a little longer.
Bungie's Luke jumped onto the NeoGAF forums to inform the masses that their publisher (Microsoft) "has altered the deal and changed the date of the press release to Wednesday." And a quick glance at our calendar tells us that today is Tuesday, so tomorrow should be Wednesday. Thus, no Legendary Map Pack announcement today, and no Sidewinder remake confirmation (wink, wink). We all join hands with Luke and pray that our information comes tomorrow and not a day later.

how do you know that is Bungie's luke? can't anyone make a screen name that would make you assume it is luke talking? if this is true where is it on Bungie.net main page? I don't believe this until its somewhere on the bungie web site. (btw no response on the forums if it has been delayed)

Microsoft "altered" the deal. What does that mean? More money out of our pockets than Bungie desired?

At NeoGAF it's pretty safe to assume that they verify the identity of anyone who claims to be someone of import on there... All it really takes is an e-mail to the original person to verify.

This is a very misleading and inaccurate news post. The information is coming tonight.
