Not in Halo 2, the gameplay in H2 sucks for maps like HeH, Sidewinder, etc. and all big maps. It's just way too inconsistent.

No more updates for Halo 2 -- Halo 3 is the new focus of Bungie and has been for sometime now.

I consider Containment a "spiritual" successor to Sidewinder.
Think about it: Basically it's the same shape (a slightly curved V-shape)

Rockets are in the same spot (On a walkway against the wall)
Huge 2-leveled bases.

And the snow theme.

The rocks all over the level is like how they added all those rocks to Coagulation from Blood Gulch.

Containment is actually Bungie's H2 version of Sidewinder. If you read the OXM article from back in the day about the first map packs, it states that Bungie built Containment as a re-creation of Sidewinder but with a trench and a few structure changes. But I would like to play Sidewinder (original version) Halo 2 style, and maybe even Halo 3 style. But we need Containment to come back in Halo 3.

containment may have inspired by sidewinder but it is no H2 version of it. tombstone, Desolation, warlock, elongation, coagulation, etc, those are recreations of h1 maps, containment is untrue to sidewinder's original characteristics and for this reason they don't give it credit for being a sidewinder recreation.

No, Sidewinder is completely curved...Containment is different. The Bases may both be two levels, but they're nothing alike. Containment's base is also WAY larger...But if Rockets spawning in a similar location makes a map a spiritual successor...great?

Look at Guardian.
And then look at Lockout.
They have little similarities yet it's still named it's spiritual successor, right?

Coagulation's bases are considerably bigger then Blood Gulches' as well.
The inside structures from Sidewinder were basically replaced by the caves in Containment.


But I guess if you believe hard enough and avoid the facts even presented in various magazine(s) your twisted reality my became actual fact.. right?

Read the OXM articles... they do

no they say that sidewinder fans will notice similarities but it is not a true recreation like many of the other maps, sidewinder is a horseshoe, containment is a S curve, fact is they are similar in one aspect, the fact that they both have snow and that is about it, they are not laid out the same, the bases aren't similar, there was no gulch in sidewinder, there was ice in sidewinder...basically the designers looked at sidewinder said"hey we need a large snow map" and then made containment from scratch. No true sidewinder fan considers containment to be a suitable replacement, containment is an awesome map, but it is no sidewinder.
