Sorry, Halo 3 Lockout remake is a hoax [Update]

Update: While the cover art was confirmed as a fake, Bungie has confirmed that the last map is Blackout - the successor to Lockout! More information can be found on the official post from Luke Smith.
We feel like the guys at MythBusters today. Three myths have been busted by the trusted experts here at Fanboy Towers. This one, we're sad to say, involves the Halo 3 Lockout map remake magazine cover we reported over the weekend.
The rumor was that the upcoming Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack would include a remade version of the Halo 2 map Lockout along with Avalanche (a remade Sidewinder) and Ghost Town. Regarding the Dutch magazine's cover, Bungie's Frank O'Connor and Louis Wu have confirmed the magazine is a fake and Halo.Bungie.Org user RVideo was kind enough to deconstruct the cover and compare it to actual Power Unlimited cover art. Looks like this one is busted folks, but here's something to think about - the cover has been confirmed busted but no one said anything about the last map not being Lockout!

OK I'll take your word for it. I have no idea what Lockout even is. Why is there always so much drama over Halo shit?

You guys need a Kari Byron before you can claim "Mythbuster" status.

off-topic: anyone else find that Frontlines add really annoying? It starts even when you accidentally drag your mouse over it and it damn noisy.

I just tipped this, but Lockout remake is a confirmed map now.

@xeno
Yes, I couldn't agree more. I understand trying to make some money X3F, but that thing is so loud and so easy to kick on. I am half-deaf ova here in my headphones. Mute that bitch.

Your myth busting has been busted... and itsburnsie is right, you need a Kari before you can make such an outlandish claim.

Understandable...the cover looks like crap.
But go on bungie.net
Lockout is now 'Blackout'

What,where!? I guess using AdBlocker ext. for Firefox really makes life a lot easier.

@Jakub , since this is the only ad-laden site I visit, and I value it greatly, I figured the least I could do is let them get some impressions off me.
But if those kind of intrusive ads continue to show up, I might consider it.
