I like the background for Tombstone (I don't know but the backgrounds always amaze me), and Desolation is just awesome!!

There must be a bunch of 12 year olds in here, if you have a checking acount with just about any bank you can add a debit card for free. It may take a couple weeks to get there but you wouldn't have to get a credit card, and you wouldn't have to live in the US. It was stated earlier in the thread that this method to buy the levels was possible.

I hope these updates this week are just the beginning of things. I do like the overwhelming amounts of information recently but i don't want it to end this week and have to wait another month or so till we hear any more interesting info. Before this week it was pretty much an update then a hump day challenge. There still is the beta and the maps sound fun but i don't want the updates to end. How about another video like at the e3 conference in 2004 revealing Zanzibar and some of the multi player features. After seeing the rocket targeting in halo 2 i was psyched out. It would be neat if Bungie revealed how these new features are used in a video, rather then just keeping us puzzled. But of course Bungie already knows this and want to keep us puzzled longer(builds hype).

Close but no sig-anature..

Siggys are pointless now, aren't they?

The new maps look a tad big?

I tried to sign my signature here but the pen busted off in my screen.
:(

Has anybody noticed "Hang em High" and it's "Tombstone" remake are named after two of the greatest westerns ever?
I like the asymmetrical maps like Tombstone and Zanzibar. Symetrical maps like Desolation and Warlock are boring!

If the giant space elevator in the background of Tombstone was destroyed and nocked down when Regret's ship jumped in the city, then why is it still standing in this new map?

The new maps are really looking good. I can't wait to play them.

I know this is the wrong place but with this new update that went on today it said that cheating would be harder or something. I'm not sure if it's working to well because someone was stand by'ng twice in a row today in matchmaking.

These levels, especially Tombstone, look incrediably fun to get out of. I might be alone on this, but I am definitely not getting the maps, because, FOUR NEW MAPS FOR GEARS OF WAR NEXT WEDNESDAY, and also, after that the Beta... yeah sure Hang 'em High was fun but ugh... yeah... Its GoW.

What is with all the “I wish it was free” “I don’t have four dollars (but I can afford an Xbox/Xbox-360 and Xboxlive™)” junk. Its just four dollars. Open your clinched fist for the poor gentlemen supplying you with the new maps. After all, they are phenomenal.

Hang Em High was also my favorite! I can't wait for the new maps!

Can anyone patch up this giberish about someone in the Vidoc holding a Turret off of a Warthog?

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

I think I see what he might be getting at. In the small pic, (on the Bungie homepage, leading to the article, and on the top left of the article under "top story") it looks like the space elevator is still standing, or at least some tall structure is still intact.

Okay, I have an xbox live account using a two month free trial. Will I be able to dowload the two new maps with that? I know that I can download the old map pack using this. If I can't, what are MSN points and how do you use them?

hee awesome stuff.

As a budding texture artist myself (you guys will see alot of my work with CMT and my own projects in H2V, btw :P /highjack), seeing these maps motivates me to better my skills. The halo texturing fascinates me and drives me to sit at my computer hour after hour painting and drawing and sketching, most especially, the forerunner designs. The patterns and intricate details on the walls and floor and ceilings and doorways and EVERYTHING of the style just makes me stop and look, no matter what game, halo 1, 2 and judging by the latest Vidoc, 3 :)

The covenant style, also intruiges me, as its similar to the forerunner but different enough to be unique, but still hold resonance that, there is a connection there, between both the covies and the forerunners. Genious.

Though, I haven't painted much human styled texturing, as It didn't used to captivate me as much as the covie and forerunner, but looking at all those rusty metal textures makes me want to paint more of em. The rusty metal textures, the bronze and red colours, balanced with the glistening silver panels, coupled with the "sky of doom sunset" radiosity just makes me near -blam!- my -blam!- pants just looking at the map.

and on Desolation, I love how the texturing, rather than be like delta halo, ancient stone, it's ancient metal, and you can see the alpha channel really working well on the bsp textures. Just makes me go nuts whenever i see a cubemap 'doin its thang' in between rusty streaks <3 the moss was a good touch too. Makes me wish Delta halo looked more like this theme, but hey, H2V modding will be the place to be!

Chris Wood, I bow to thee. But no one -blam!- mess's with Marcus Lehto. I hope your reading this, cuz you sir win my internets :D

Sweet stuff! Er, that didn't sound quite...anyway, cool interview. I enjoyed reading that. I might be a conceptual artist when I'm all growd up. Looks like it's a fun job to have.
