Just so you know Onslaught isn't a new map, its just a forged Foundary map created by MLG. Stockpile and Onslaught are both Foundary basic remakes of Midship and Warlock, although the Midship one is very simple in comparison. I can't remember which is which tho but i hope Stockpile is the Midship one becoz I liked the Warlock one better.

This update sounds good.
And I think it's clear now: It's going to be a huge (Big Team Battle) snowmap,
much likely Sidewinder. Good job on that painting.
Looks better than just a grey-beige Scorpion on snow :V

I have a couple ?'s. Why would you get rid of ranks? I mean... some people are fifty and maybe 1 in another playlist. ALL that work for NOTHING?! And also, why is it REPLACING hardcore... Well, thats just my opinion.


They're replacing it because Hardcore wud probably becum deserted once the MLG playlist cums in. I'm sure it won't affect their highest skill if the hopper they're 50 in is removed. Plus Hardcore is nothing like MLG really, theres too many things in Hardcore which make it too different from MLG like bubble shields.

If we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm going to lose it. Lose it. It means go crazy.

Well, if you LOVE the hornet so much, you should be happy with what they've done with it. Now they are going to let you use it in Match Making on this map! Any custom games you play will still have the fully functional hornet, I'm sure. The only reason they never had it in MM before has been corrected so that it can be played on this map. Go drive the Scorpion if you want overwhelming power.


right, so based on your argument that now we get to use the Hornet in matchmaking, I could make the following presumption. People that really love the Fuel Rod gun and want to see it in MM would be THRILLED if they took all the graphical effects off of it, and gave it the reduced power of a pistol. But hey, you still get to use it right!

Or wait, how about we get to use flame grenades, but they don't catch anything on fire. They just burn like a pretty little candle and go out if someone walks over them. Hey, you still can have them though, so stop complaining.

I really don't care if the Hornet was overpowered. Given the right set of weapons on the ground you can still take it down without a problem. Try a Scorpion, SLaser, Missile Pod. Even a turret or a Banshee can bring one down if the player is any good. I've both rampaged in one, and been effectively neutralized in one, depending on who I play.

Sweet, Sidewinder is one of my favorite Halo 1 maps. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Tuesday, March 18 is the final release day, for both Legendary and Heroic(free) packs.

Can't wait Bungie, you guys are awesome.

*also, CoD4 has got nothing on Halo 3*

nice to see bungle is not giving out recon to people who simply have too much tiem on their hands, nice to see people who were on that stupid leaderboard who were expecting just a little bit of reconz gettin pwned.

I'll probably sound either really cheap here, or newbish. I was wondering if the heroic map pac would soon be released free of charge?... I will go out and buy it if not, but if it's going to be soon I may as well just wait.

Pride is power. Bravery is strength. Zeal is necessary. Blindness is death.

As Bungie has said, the Heroic map pack will be released for free when the Legendary map pack comes out.

AAO 117(Klondike)

Hey you guys said there was a reveal for detectives..... it's obviosly a snow map. The vehicles look sweet especially the Scorpion, could you make it to where we could costum paint our vehicles in costum games?? That would be awesome, i could all of my friends driving in pink mogooses.... are the new maps coming next week or is it just a reveal?

-Thanks Bungie for making the best game and community!!! You guys rule and are you making another game or just keeping Halo 3 up to date (like updates and maps and hoppers??)

Sidewinder? Containment? Either one remade would rock.
Does anyone miss Infinity from Halo PC? I do...

And are Heroic DLC maps gonna be free? I heard they were.

EDIT: Forget that, I read a few posts up...

if I had to guess I would say there is going to be a snow level at night time. Most likely a remade of Containment? It's awesome that the hornet is coming into play. I hope it's not taken down too much otherwise it will be a pointless vehicle and probably not really used. Unless it can go up against a banshee. ANYway can't wait till tuesday, and can't wait till the maps are actually available.

omg, I love the new vehicle skins. It's about time there have been "map special" skins for vehicles, like sand trap to have desert camo instead of olive drab. w00tzorzomg

I created bangy swoosh

no -blam!- JKopp. Its probably gonna be Containment. Cottonball was supposed to be huge, Containment was huge too. And it had snow. the new paint jobs are AWESOME. but im sad about hte Hornet change :( I liked it the way it was!

just readin your post, and made me think, cottonball, snows soft like cotton balls so hopefully its gonna be a sidewinder/containment(btw what is containment?)

actually, they said it will be free PRIOR to Legendary being released.

The winter vehicles are looking pretty snazy, can't wait to try them out, along with all the new maps.

  • 03.16.2008 9:21 AM PDT
