Bungie has added a new feature and stat tracker to Halo 3. This one in the form of blood red "Heatmaps." Heatmaps are used to track "encounters, weapons used and their results in a given game, collecting that data and sharing it with players visually." As shown in the Snowbound snapshot below, the darker red areas are places where more deaths happen, while the cooler blue areas are places where less deaths occur.
Bungie noted in it's weekly update that the Heatmap tracking is in a "beta" right now, tracking 1/2 the stats. They're monitoring the public performance of this form of stat tracking, previously used internally at Bungie. In other words, they don't want processing power taken up on crunching Heatmaps by sacrificing some of the more critical pieces of data to Halo 3. See the death signatures on the Global Heatmaps here. You can also look on your own Career Stats page on Bungie.net. Will this change the way we play Halo 3? Cooler areas are probably going to require more sniping action and likely won't get as much kills. Check out the latest weekly update report from Bungie, which also discusses upcoming downloadable content, bug fixes and the two disc Halo 3 Original Soundtrack. From Bungie.net
