yeah, if they remake containment, i'm gonna be really mad. Containment was absolutely terrible. Not as bad as elongation, bring back burial mounds or ascension or lockout.

  • 03.16.2008 10:27 AM PDT

Oh well, I just hope that the level will be containment. That was one of my favorite large maps from halo 2. IT DOES NOT SUCK!!!

I think the hornet "fixing" is the worst idea EVER!!!! Any one who put a hornet in thier custom map should make counters for it. My UNSC Valhalla is a PERFECT example of a map with good counters.(PLEASE DON'T CHANGE IT BUNGIE!!!!!!!- just make a good map!)

  • 03.16.2008 10:32 AM PDT

But still, fixing the hornet is a good thing. Yea, if the map is good, people can counter the hornet, but ya gotta assume that n00bs are gonna play and they WILL grab those counter weapons and try to use them to kill that one lowly soldier in the corner that is teabagging some rock.

Lol,
"P26 – I’m definitely missing something here"
That's my service tag! Bungie gave it to me when I went on Halo 3, and I didn't change it.

The paint jobs on those vehicles are nice. And, honestly, I only understand 3 of those service tags... Someone has to explain them to me.

Excellent update, I think this'll quench my weekend thirst for Bungie news.

You guys the last two maps are remakes of sidewinder and lockout, simple as that.

Great update!!! Don't know if the Hornet changes are a good idea though.

let me guess: youre one of the people who uses the missles all the time in custom games, right?

Another Snow Level? - Not that i'm not impressed, it's just ... why?.

Don't get me wrong but Don't we already have snowbound? And wether its a remake of sidewinder or not, why is everyone so attached to a map they've already seen - wouldn't you guys be more facinated with something new and never before seen? What bothers me is if it's sidewinder a million kids arround the forums are gonna jump for joy and say i told you so, while a millions kids like me get cheased off woundering where the new content in halo went.

Sure I like the vehicule skins but it doesnt take much work to change the colors of a vehicule, lets see some new forge items, or give us foundry's forge pallet on the default maps - because in the end i didn't pay for 3 terrible maps, i paid for foundry I guess, so why shouldnt the map items work.

I think taking the time to go over the old levels and add a night/day feature /seasonal feature to some maps would be great. I'm sure playing in different conditions would change your play and make the old maps somewhat cool and new again. Imagine snowbound in the spring or summer? or the narrows in winter or fall? That's just an idea. Of Course the night feature wouldn't be rediculously dark, ratherr just dark and misty...

And Im getting a little peaved with ppl using our clans symbol in matchmaking, couldnt bungie make some kind of file the leaders of the clan could pass to members of the group which when opened would make them a legitamenet memember of the clan... just an idea i've been running over for a few weeks now...

To be honest, one of my favorite maps is one that me and my clan made in the water on highgrounds off map, it's not the most fonctional because it's off map but it's deffinatly amazing..... so if bungie made a map with say 4 mini islands and clear blue ocean water seperating them I would be astonnished.... giving ppl on forge 4v4 each the option to build a little hut and have a intense war...

just my 2 centz...

yes it does. as for ascension and burial mounds, they sucked just as much. if you're going to bring a map back, make it either blood gulch, or going really far back, sidewinder or death island.
oh, and matt those are actually really good ideas.hm.. maybe ive been looking at this wrong.Maybe a new map that takes you to before halo 1. like, Harvest or even i would go to say Onyx. just an idea.

I just hope that Bungie will continue to make at least 2 or 3 more map packs

  • 03.16.2008 12:44 PM PDT

Ya they should put Blood Gulch back. And with halo 3s new weapons and vehicles, it would be insane!
