Vehicles, odd facts, and new playlists. Is there a map reveal? Only for detectives.


Since there are new colors for vehicles how about gold. It would probably be for custom games a forge only. But it would be a cool idea.

“The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse” - Carlos Casteneda

But I just need to know this....if these updated vehicles are released...will they also change the vehicles we have already?

Like the Hornet on Sandtrap. Will the missiles be removed from that or only the new maps will have the vehicles changed around a bit?

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

Sidewinder, Sidewinder, Sidewinder, Sidewinder, Sidewinder, Sidewinder......Hooray!!!!1!11one.

Seriously though, I'm excited. It could be something else......but probably not. Rejoice! Awesome update, basically just b/c of the vehicles.

Is anybody else thinking Containment or Sidewinder? Not saying that one of those two are coming out for Halo 3, just throwing it out there,
Seems like it would have to be one of these two, and it seems like Sidewinder was more popular than Containment. Either one seems an odd choice for a remake though, as was Zanzibar in the face of all the more beloved H2 maps.

We could be wrong though, like you said. Maybe this apparently big, snowy map isn't the remake at all.


A big snowy map... OMFG it's Sandtrap painted white.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Really great update this week.
Great idea about the custom paint jobs in the new maps.
Pretty cool stuff.
Happy about the MLG Playlist too.

One thing I must say... I personally think all the vehicles need to be toned down a bit...

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

Actually Containment would be cool... It was underplayed...I never really was able to play Halo 2 on live or anything and I only played 2 half games on Containment, but it was well made and could be really great, especially with a few updates...

Oh well =)

yeah! well i guess this pretty much confirms a sidewinder remake


Hmmm I was thinking more along the lines of a desert-combat map. A white desert.

The Antarctic is one of [if not] the world's largest deserts.

I want to fly that Hornet about...

or siberia

I h8 u bungie


heh heh heh...eh...not really that funny. Not that I'm complaining about no screens, just a lame stab at those who want to see them

Anyway, What about balancing the fuel rod canon for matchmaking as well? No inclusion of vehicles such as the Prowler?

It's cool to see the scorpion and the hornet but
It's cool to see

  • 03.14.2008 5:54 PM PDT

Hey, I like the look of that snowy scorpion. I guess it is a snow map, hopefully sidewinder. And finally some new vehicles are being used in MM, I was looking forward to that. Now hopefully other stuff thats unused in MM will at least get a chance...

I think our generation was the last smart one. It's all downhill from here.

They have already stated that it will be an ORIGINAL map, so that means it's not a remake.

You might as well call Recon armor a Fancy Fedora, because that's all it is really.

I will delete every post on this thread that simply states which # of poster they are or which page they are on. Read it first or else!

These vehicles are awesome, they truly are... "A few of my favorite things...."

p.s. FIRST PAGE


I'd be careful Luke, it seems the reaper is out to get you :D

I like the new vehicles...but I hope that what you show us implies that BOTH the scorpion tank AND the hornet will now have their home sweet homes in matchmaking...

Xbox LIVE, the final frontier, these are the adventures of the gamer, Spartan Tickler. His ongoing mission, to pwn noobs and seek new achievements in strange, far off games and boldly go where no man has gone before.

yeh the map will be called onsluaght, that's right i thought that was weird too
and it will be sorta like sidewinder
can't wait to see the vehicles in action

Now guys.. I know this may be looking into it at WAAY too much detail, but the captions of the pictures seemed odd.
The capitalisation is strange, for example there is a capital letter for "Scorpion" but not for "mongoose". I put all the capitals into an anagram generator (I restricted it to SEVEN letters) and it came up with "CHASSIS". Maybe this is a clue to the new map/s, or that I'm going rampant. ;-)

FINALLY! AN MLG PLAYLIST! Thank you SO MUCH Bungie :D

New info on Legendary Maps, this is a great weekly update. I'm so glad to own Halo right now.

  • 03.14.2008 6:03 PM PDT

My talents include always knowing the wrong thing to say.

Twitter!

I can't wait to see what Bungie does to the new maps. Some of them have glitches which I've stumbled upon may times. I like the new paint jobs immensly. The camo tank looks very realistic. Also I think that removing the missles from the Horent was a good idea. I can't wait to see the communitiy's response to this. The only people that will see the smartness in this will be those who have played with someone who whores the Horent and simply owns you over and over and over. Bravo!
