Don't ask about the name-- it's a long story

OMG the vehicles in the new map. Scorpion and Hornet default / appear in MM? Other vehicles like that? Hornet changed only for that map? If changed for everything, Hornet in MM?
So many questions... I'm too busy drawing up a contract for a loan so I can get HL2 and GMod...

The one that almost got that Killing Spree...

Hmm.. I guess there isn't much use for the hornet anymore since the scorpion can bust a cap into it...meh

will the regular hornet still be in forge (with old colors so you know which model it is)? I want them both in forge. The new one could be slightly faster.

Why dumb down the hornet? If people aren't smart enough to pick up an anti-tank weapon to take it out with then they deserve to die.

Oh, and will a night map ever be a possibility?
I agree, a jungle night map would be so ballin, or there could be an option before every custom game if you want it to be day or night, so you could decide for yourself.

it doesn't take a lot to assume cottonball will be a snow map


THANKYOU! i thought i was the only one who saw the names of the other two maps.
by the way, for those of you who didnt see it, the other map is called moonlight sonata.

(this is my opinion) Why do you guys want a remake soooooo badly???????I mean last resort was fine but seriously, bungie doesn't get their ideas from the past, they imagine new ones. heck, just look at halo 3 alone, they thought of new wepons, vehicles,maps,even a whole new race!(heretics) I mean seriously, do we just want an old map thats been given a makeover or something completly different. If you like that map soooo bad then go play halo 2 or 1, this is halo 3, NOT just a remake of halo 1 and 2.


Thanks bungie for coming up with new ideas!

You arn't very bright any of you. The second new map is sidewinder. Its really very obvios. On the update it says a new map revieled if you are a detective. The 2nd map was a remake of an awesome map that bungie likes and i know one of thier favorite maps is sidewinder. It is also snowy and is perfect size for scorpions and hornets. So cottenball is sidewinder. Also cottenball is sort of sounds like an icy level. same with how O.K. Corral (which was a famous shoot-off in the old west) fits with the level ghost town. If you use your brain you will realize it is Sidewinder! Besides I love that map! :-)

"It's better to live one day as a lion, then one hundred years as a sheep." -Italian Proverb

A Marine scout sniper was once asked what he felt when he killed terrorists.
His response? "Recoil"

"Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."

Love the new looks for the vehicles. Not crazy about the Hornet, but I guess I'll have to comprimise if I want to see it in Matchmaking....

Speaking of vehicles being added to Matchmaking, what about things like the Transport Warthog???? That thing would really add a tactical approach to large CTF/Assault gametypes. Maybe have it have less speed because of the more people it can fit, which would also make sense because someone couldn't simply get away with driving staight from one base to the other without someone being able to stop them.

Hope the new maps come out soon... I've already got my points waiting to buy them.

M.O.H. When you write it. You write it in their blood and bullets. This is M.O.H.

To all of you hatin on the hornet change. I say good job on gutting the hornet, cuz i got a friend who is nothin more than a vehicle n00b so anything that can help him not kill me ill take it.

dud contact ur ppl at bungie and ask them what they think about this idea. When the new map pack comes out(Legendary) u should put the anti- air wraith in forge. I have a thing where me and my friends get together and talk about wat they want. So i came up with the idea that u goes should put the anti-air wraith in forge. Ppl would luv that. So tell me wat u think of the idea and get back to me.

Everything is possible, and nothing is what it seems

i would like to see some screenshots of the new maps coming out, or even know what thier called, but the vehicles look good

Jason Jones of Bungie famously said of Halo 2 that: "it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too." As a sequel, Halo 2 couldn't quite live up to that extravagant claim.

OMG Those vehicles look sweet. No missles on the hornet is a let down but its a good call. I absolutely love the scorpian.

Is the hornet change for all game types? Yes it's a death machine, but it's an easy target for the spartan laser one shot and it blows up real pretty like. That's why games like Air race work. You can get some quick kills to catch up, but you can't win with it.

Althought i love the paintjobs, they just removed all of the purpose of the hornet, it had a huge weekness of missile pods and spartan lasers, i understand the removing of the rockets but the reductiuon of the turret power, its goona become the least used vehicle now, right after the mongoose, unless one of you can figure out the upside of ths, im baffled for theyir resoning, CANT WAIt TO SEE THE SNOWY MAP!!!

I would call it "Bipolar" or something having to do with both the cold and dual symmetry if it is indeed a sidewinder remake.

<><><>FACILITY B5D<><><>

I havent read through all of the post but has the problem with only Spartans being allowed to deploy equipment from Hornets been fixed?

I mean its awesome that this is the only vehicle that you can do this on and I wish you could do it on all of them but it just doesnt seem fair for the Elite players. I know they could just as simply play as a Spartan but the whole reason most people chose to be an Elite is to be different (or be targets.

Now as far as the maps go I would like to expect this to be Sidewinder and not Containment because we already have a Halo 2 map redone and I would like to see a newer version of Sidewinder. All I can feel safe saying right now is that its a snow covered BTB suited map. This is spectacular because as of right now there are only two major BTB maps; Valhalla and Sandtrap.
