Finish The Fight

'07

Maybe I missed something, but the article mentions Onslaught as a map. I've never heard of that map.

This Weekly Update was a good update, was one of my favorites. MLG Playlist should do well for the Halo 3 Match Making. Really was a savior for those who don't have a lot of friends who get online at night and want to play MLG settings, now in MM should have no problem.

There was a decent amount of good information for us in this one, I enjoy seeing the real-Halo 3 statistics like that, you guys at Bungie should really look into updating “Halo 3 Service Record” in-game for those who appreciate such things like the kills, assists, and deaths total. Campaign as well. Thanks for a good update guys. :)

Those vehicles look badass, hmm snow? Now that's a mystery... lol

  • 03.14.2008 6:09 PM PDT

ah yes! those vehicles look so sick!!

ah no! i have a custom gametype that relies entirely on hornet missiles! literally, entirely! machine gun is actually disallowed! check it out while you still can, its called Hawks and Rats

ah what? what's onslaught?

WHEN ARE THE HEROIC MAPS GOING TO BE FREE????? US CHEAP B******* CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!

Sonbungie:Subject: what kind of snake do you while playing halo3 or food

That sort of confirms that one of the maps will be a Sidewinder / Containment remake...

  • 03.14.2008 6:11 PM PDT

hopefully sidewinder, containment blows

So proves my point...
The missles were removed so that it would'nt be a dominat force on the map

  • 03.14.2008 6:12 PM PDT

I'm guessing that from the way the vehicles are painted... the new map is a snow map.



^haha^

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

LOVE YOU BUNGIE!

MLG playlist is awesome. Greatest thing you guys have done yet. =D

there's bullet holes where my compassion used to be...
and there is violence in my heart.

What, no info on the Elite armor variants?! We always get the shaft... ;)

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.

It is the largest desert.

I'm also looking foreward to the snow effects. They're so awesome on snowbound, I can't imagine how awesome they'll be now after they've been worked on more.

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

THANK YOU, im so sick of people who have nothing to say

  • 03.14.2008 6:17 PM PDT

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!

  • 03.14.2008 6:18 PM PDT

I'm glad they finally added in the Hornet!

Now Bungie, you just have to throw in the deployable turret equipment and i'll be completely satisfied.

  • 03.14.2008 6:19 PM PDT

I like the vehicle modifications, but I am still waiting on some details about the community hopper mentioned a few weeks back....and the where-abouts of that podcast you guys use to make....

  • 03.14.2008 6:20 PM PDT

The MLG maps include 2 forged foundry instances -- stockpile and onslaught. These are NOT new Bungie maps; just MLG variants (though good ones).

You can get them at:

Seems like a lot of people are asking what Onslaught is.

Onslaught is an MLG Foundry map that was forged specifically for the fast paced play style and team oriented MLG settings v4.

A little off topic but you can go check out map already by searching "MLG Gametypes" gamertag fileshare. Also a lot seem to be unaware of the beautiful creations the MLG community has build in forge. Should also checkout those maps, thought I'd share.

For great justice!

I crapped my pants when i saw the scorpion! Go bungie!!!!!!!!!

Can you at least tell us if it's a remake or not? I can't wait four whole days!
(I'm pretty sure you [or any Bungie employee] have ever said if any were a remake, in less I missed it when you did)

If it is a remake and those vehicles are for Cottonball, I'm almost willing to bet that it's Containment, contrary to the popular "Sidewinder" belief.

Anyway please include a few Ghosts, I miss having Ghosts on big maps.

...And miles to go before I sleep.

Do I detect a slippery Sidewinder?! I can't help it, Canadians love the snow. It's so homey! Scorpions, Hornets and Mongooses (in French that might be naughty) in a Winter Wonderland!

Thank you Bungie! Thank you Bungie! Thank you Bungie!
