I think it would be "cotton ball," because they are white. And holy cow, how awesome would it be to have a remake of Sidewinder? (My absolute favorite of all Halo maps).

  • 03.14.2008 8:42 PM PDT

I love Halo!!

I must say, that scorpion tank looks wicked! I love it! I like the idea of the hornet becoming a little more weak. I have used it in custom games and that thing really seemed to own. Should still be fun having it in MM.

  • 03.14.2008 8:48 PM PDT

ZOMG snowy map? i hope i can build igloo.

  • 03.14.2008 8:49 PM PDT

Reading this only proves that you're obsessed with me for some strange, durranged, and presumably sick reason.

As for the Hornet, I like the change, it is way to powerful in custom games. However, I would have made it so that you have a limited amount of missles to be used strategicaly. Somethin like three missle pairs and your out of em.

halo 3 players guide-
pdf dl

training in halo 3- the halo 3 academy

finally the hornet becomes weaker..... thank you bungie. ( i know this isn't on all maps, but it's just nice to know somewhere, the hornet isn't a halo 2 scorp with heat seeking missles that can fly.)
now if only valhalla had the same properties.... it would help one of my maps immensly. i wanted to include the hornet but, srsly. holy crap.

  • 03.14.2008 9:07 PM PDT

well now we know that atleast one of the maps is an icemap so everyone can take there guesses as to if its a remake

Ok. My turn to comment.

MLG playlist is a good thing. Adds more variety and makes me want to delay playing ranked matches until MLG comes out. Can't wait for this.

And the Camo-ed Vehicles are badass. Some sort of snowy map seems to be coming and from what Sketch has told us, I think it would in a Antartic Research Facility like complex. Though, that is just me. And for some insane reason, I really, really think this map is Moonlight Sonata and NOT Cottonball. But, again...That's just me. It is probably not a remake since Bungie has openly said in their podcast that there 3 maps WOULD NOT BE REMAKES. So, Sidewinder remake is out though a Guardian-esqe spiritual successor would be possible.

The New Camo-ed vehicles also reminds me of a certain promise Bungie made in an update last year in which they said that there would be a Forge Update that will allow us to customise vehicles and maybe even more. The update was the one where you tell us about Foundry's Legos or something. So, is that Forge Update nearing us and is this an example of what it can do?

Good update guys.

  • 03.14.2008 9:21 PM PDT

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

WOAH custom paint jobs??? never expected that one does that mean there will be more stuff like this??? maybe some Spartan extras as well??

Onslaught is a forged variant of Foundry made by MLG. It is available for download at the GT "MLG Gametypes" along with the rest of the v4 settings. It is used primarily with "GB CTF Onslaught" online, and "MLG CTF Onslaught" on LAN.

On LAN there is a 30 minute time limit, if someone is ahead after 15 minutes, they end it. If it is tied after 15 mins, the last 15 are used as a tie breaker. The game ends when someone scores, or the final 15 minutes is up.

GB CTF is different because it is meant for online play, where you can't trust someone to end it after 15 minutes.

GB stands for "GameBattles" which is MLG's online tourneys.

Dude, you're the only on who thinks like me. i've been hoping for a remake of sidewinder since H2!

lol @ luke.

2nd (technically) w00t. Now to read...

Will edit when done.

Edit: Awesome, I liked the stats. VERY awesome pics of snowy vehicles, can't wait to see them in action.
To bad about the hornet. But is that just in MM? Or customs as well? If its in customs, that sucks, how else am I gonna reign death with rockets from above?

A good update, despite no new maps, but I look forward to Tuesday (Wednesday for me [Australia])

Also:
Is there a map reveal? Only for detectives.
Really? They only thing I got was that the map reveal on Tuesday will be snowy (fingers crossed for Sidewinder!).

Thanks Luke!!

Are we going to be able to sky-jack a hornet? Never seen it happen, is it possible now?

The snow vehicles are awesome, but now I cannot rain terror on those who I despise with missiles from the hornet. Not a big deal. It would be awesome if they came out with a whole new vehicle for custom games and matchmaking, even though I know how hard that would be to do. I am looking forward to playing DLC all weekend, but I gotta get my 360 back. Hey lukems, we should play sometime, eh?

Onslaught is a MLG Released Foundry map. It is not a map made by Bungie in any way, shape or form besides the base Foundry. :\

  • 03.14.2008 10:06 PM PDT

Nerd Rage - It makes the internet go 'round.

I'll -blam!- bricks if you guys bring back Sidewinder.
