Well I was not pointing the 'hint' to have an exact resemblence to any current map or the example I provided, just the resemblence of the style and features of it.

My Opinion
Personally when they say the "Best game ever is being reborn", I do not think as to a 'remake' of it, like many people suggest, they are probably merely pointing to the rebirth of the series. The next Battlefront in the series, will defitnaly be titled "Star Wars Battlefront 3", and I see it and quite a lot of others as one of the games in the 'Best' catergory.

Other Possibilities?
Counterstrike is a PC game, which I think if there was ever a two, which it will remain, Rainbow Six I think is very unlikey.

Conclusion
Star Wars Battlefront 3 I think is likely it and it seems the right time for it, back in 2009 I guess it was planned to be shown at the E3 09, the leaked trailer of production we all saw showed how close it was to showing the public. This March magazine announcement seems just a couple of month before this E3 11, which I think we will see our infamous game.

The message in the game annoucement being delayed from this magazine, does like I said sound all too familiar and in time space they have had to reproduce it in, probably around two years, likely do not feel it is quite ready, possibly till E3 11.

In development two years now, kept low, the time is coming, I feel it in the force...

as there has not been much speculation or guessing to what it is, but I would defitnally point to a SCI-FI orrientation.
I would definitely point in the exact opposite direction.

Looking at the blueprints closer, the design doesn't seem very 'Star Wars' in the slightest. One of the easiest ways to tell is the design of the doors. They seem to be using the symbol for a standard set of hinged doors. Most of the doorways in Star Wars use a sliding "pocket door" system, which has its own architectural symbol.

It looks more like some sort of bank or other office building. With the double-door entrance on the far left, and what looks like a receptionist area just to the right of it. Just behind the 'M' in the word "month" you can make out a public restroom, and fairly obvious office areas to the right. Along with what looks like a lounge room. The rounded, divided areas on the far right are likely cubicle desks. The only thing I don't immediately recognize is the large circles with X's in them on the far left on either side of the double-doors. At first I thought it was a rotating door of some sort. It may just be unused space like a support pillar.

The only listed games I can think of that could use such a setting would be S.W.A.T., Rainbow Six, CounterStrike 2, SOCOM, and Hitman. Then again I'm not familiar with many of the other games suggested.

So, unless:
A. Battlefront 3 has a map that is eerily accurate to a modern-day office building,
B. The designers have no clue how to make blueprints for a sci-fi game,
C. The picture is completely unrelated,

I doubt this is the game we're waiting for.

That sounds like a Counter Strike map to me, but why would they announce a new or ported version in Xbox 360 Magazine? Seeing how Valve seem to be Humping Sony's leg atm....

*EDIT:Small detail i just noticed* Isn't Counter Strike widely considered to be one of the Best Games of all time? The use of the word "Reborn" doesn't seem right. Hitman is a possibility but i'm not too sure. Could it be similar to how Splinter Cell:Conviction was a "Rebirth" of the Series?

When I saw this I thought it was Halo 1 but it could mean any game that was more popular on the xbox and was multi-console. Star Wars Battlefront II was second most played game on xbox live before they closed it for the old xbox.
