the paint jobs r a great addition to halo maps for this is the first time iv seen this in any halo game. KEEP IT UP BUNGIE!

Edge 2.0 - The New Sandtrap, but out of the map!!!!

I reckon the map they'll reveal will be Sidewinder but bigger (Snow Vechiles). It is obviously cotton-ball as Sidewinder is quite a big map. Also looking 4word 2 the MLG playlist. And also, if the Hornet has no missiles and its machine-gun power reduced on this map, does that mean it will appear default and therefore will be available in matchmaking? Thanks 4 the update, can't wait for Tuesday!!!

Gah now the hornet wont be a death machine or support vehichle... it will be a useless lump af crap in the air prone to banshee ownage, missle pod dominance, and laser destruction. As for everything else awesome! Fingers crossed for Containment.

pretty cool vehicles and I think it was a good call taking the rockets off the hornets

Awesome. I told them an Arctic Warthog was coming, but they didn't believe me. Sidewinder might be too obvious, but I really hope it is Sidewinder.

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!
hmm... maybe... *wink and a nudge* but I dunno...

Not at all... its LESS effective... But now its now closer to the banshee... For one, its much more agile, you can keep the fire on someone as long as you can follow them, instead of having to come around for runs in the banshee. The hornet is however really easy to take out with for example a splazer or missile pod.

  • 03.14.2008 7:00 PM PDT

Wait... What?

I think taking away the missiles is a win lose situation. We win the use of the hornet in matchmaking, but lose hornet/vehicular combat.

  • 03.14.2008 7:04 PM PDT

I heard a rumor that there is also going to be a warthog with tank treads.(For the snow of course) Is this real or just another hoax by some annoying person?

  • 03.14.2008 7:05 PM PDT

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Wow, those snow paint job vehicles is awesome. That would be cool to be able to do that on any map. But, not likely. And i like the idea of a balance hornet. Maybe the hornet will be in the matchmaking version of the map?

Is it just hardcore or will ranks be reste in evrey playlist?
No ranks are being reset... the Hardcore playlist is being removed, and the MLG playlist is being added. Completely different.

  • 03.14.2008 7:08 PM PDT

We are those without death

Nice i like the new paint jobs

  • 03.14.2008 7:12 PM PDT

lol

When you place a vehicle on this map it is snowy? Can you place snow vehicles on other maps? Does the hornet only suck on this map? Can you replace the -blam!- hornet with a good one on this map? Can the sucky hornet be placed on other maps?

So many questions; So little time!

I guess that would actually be so much time, considering we don't get the maps for a while.

Partially a hoax becuase it has some truth to it. Before the release of halo 2, bungie released this: http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/Gallery/Renders/wart hog_concepts.jpg. It never made it into the game.

Remember, trust is calculated daily, and the maximum value possible changes every day too. Since the titles are based on the percentage your trust value is compared to the maximum value, it can easily change if the max value goes up further than you go up in the intervening time, even if you haven't had any negative items against you.

In other words, no the system isn't buggy, stop asking why your title changed, I'm not going to tell you.

*cough* Sidewinder *cough*
