Another question that keeps popping up, over and over again, is the one about map remakes. All three of the new maps in the first pack are brand new to the Halo universe. They’re already office favorites and the press we’ve exposed to them thus far, seemed to love them. They do address gaps in our matchmaking for sure, but we’re not done yet. It’s safe to say that we have plenty of incredible new maps lined up and maybe one or two revisited classics.
We’re not stupid. We know what you like. But remember, as anyone who’s played Last Resort can attest, we don’t just dump the old map into the new engine. We start from scratch. More on that teaser much later ... What you’ve seen so far, is just the tip of the iceberg.


Sidewinder remake, anyone? Is Frankie possibly hinting at a Sidewinder remake here? Thoughts? Now I know you can go as far as to say that it could be even a remake of Ice Fields, but seeing how Sidewinder is the more popular of the two and has been mentioned more in the map remake threads, it seems like more of a possibility than the other. I could very well just be overanalyzing what Frankie wrote or completely missing out on the "teaser". Anyways, I just want to know if anyone else caught this.

To those who called me a fool for not reserving HALO 2 & 3: Walmart; 11:30 p.m. - 2nd and 6th in line; wife and I are at home playing HALO 2 &3 by 12:05 & 12:15 - HA HA HA!!!

Wait a sec... he mentions a Mario Kart type race complete with begin able to drop equipment behind you...

That's not possible as of yet. Is that a hint to an update?

Thanks, I really like this update. It's good that you just came out and just said exactly what needed to be said.

  • 11.30.2007 7:04 PM PDT

I was ready to move on to something else, and then I read this. So that's good.

1337 means LEET or Elite in well Leet speak, which was originally a Hacker way of numerical typing, just as Nub means Newbe, but now anybody with a PC/laptop uses

I am ACRaven. I play stuff. That is all.

Useful Stuff: Skull Guide, Forum Rules, Armor Gen.

It's good to hear that an update is coming out. I'm just hoping it comes out soon. I know you guys(Bungie) say it takes awhile due to testing, but I hope it doesn't take forever. Can't wait to Forge on Foundry and Rat's Nest!

I also agree on the Machinima Easter Egg. Though it somewhat hinders movie making, it's not like this is the most important issue of Halo 3. Plus, it's only locked on XBOX Live, so Home Movies can still be made, or at least from my understanding, you can.

Never really liked Relic or Ascension much (great maps I just sucked on them) Greaves would be cool , Gauntlets to but does your cheif really need the most stylish footwear :) no offense Idjust rather part of my 10$ didnt go to imaginary foot wear. cant remember the name but it was a symetrical outdoor map with sword in a circular room in the middle that was a GRRRRReat map loved it owned it. Hate the sword and the plasma pistol on it though
