I was also thinking about a snow-based infinity or danger canyon, they were both awesome, or containment/sidewinder/ice fields. But some people say that there are no remakes so we'll see.

It was a good idea to have a less-powerful hornet. Everyone thinks this was stupid just because in campaign it is use as a power weapon, not as a good transport. I mean in The covenant you take down two scarabs and kill like 20 banshees. So if a hornet is within a map with a banshsee, the banshee would be pretty useless. And in campaing mode the marines are just there, in multiplayer someone could ride on and use a spartan laser or sniper rifle, or air drop.

Hope that the new maps are cheaper :)

Since you can change vehicles. Can you change equipment i.e. the trip mine? Remember in the beta how they were USEFULL. Well, can you make them magnetic and powerful again like in the beta PLEASE so maybe some one will use them and not accidentally pick it up and say "AWW crap not this"! Like when in the beta, when you use it on a non occupied vehicle how it attaches itself to it and flips itself under the vehicle and makes a loud beeping sound. Any one not paying attention to the beeping noise hops in telling his budies "hay get in", and finally drives off and BOOM triple kill. Remember how fun that was, do you? Please do this Bungie ... please.

yay! i love the new mongoose!!! it looks so cool! and did it say that u must look up on your on armor perms to see if u won? well if i get recon(dont hink so) so will i know wha i got it for of those things u could win for!

LET IT BE

the level is going to be snowy/icy. all the references to just that is given in the captions for the vehicle pictures.... "Snow-capped mongoose", "Chilled Scorpion", "Ice-crusted treads...", "A kinder, gentler Hornet. Stay frosty."

and i have a strong belief cottonball is a remake of Bloodgulch/Coagulation. why? how do you clean up blood or a cut? with a COTTONBALL! and in the original ideas of that map, in halo 2, it was snow covered. this is proved by screenshots of a snow covered Coag in the halo 2 strategy guide. it is quite pretty...so i wouldnt be surprised if they remade it with the snow after all, and are calling it cottonball, at least for now. and think about it, a hornet would perform nicely on that map.

here are some pictures i took straight out of the halo 2 strategy guide:

i guess we will find out in less than 20 hours...

Blood Gulch/Coagulation can RIP in the other 2 games. SideWinder needs a rebirth. Great Race/CTF/Sniper/Heavy Weapons board.
Edit: Ice Fields would rock with a rebirth also.

Genius... 20$ its going to be a bloodgultch/coagulation remake. Cottonball; it just makes sense.

It's exactly what they wanted you to find out. "Is there a map reveal? Only for detectives."
BloodGultch(blood)/Coagulation(cut) is cleaned with a Cottonball.

No Sidewinder

If Bungie Wants To Make More Money They'd Put Sidewinder,Blood Gulch,Ect. Into A Classic Map Pack

There it is. Finally!!! Why don't they just have three totally original maps now! And then bring back Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, and Lockout in a All-Star Map Pack. BTW why did Bungie remake Zanzibar into Halo 3's standard maps and not any of those?????? ITs Tuesday and there not out yet =o CLAP FOR ALASKA!!!!!!!

I didnt think about that before but that makes a lot of sense. Good deductive skills mate. But i would like to shy away from that since this would be the second time remaking it. Then again it is a very popular map thanks to the Rooster Teeth crew and Red Vs Blue. To me its still in the air, i just hope its not Containment because it could be a laser and missile pod hay-day.

Also I dont know if I do like the Hornet being dumbed down as much as it is. I agree that it needed it but Ive read some good arguments through here while going back through. I mean the Banshee does have a bomb and speed now over the Hornet. The only way I could see something like thing being good is if there were no missile pods or lasers on the map (Highly doubtful). Even then I would hope that the gun on the hornet could take out the tanks driver before getting raped by the tanks cannon.

I dunno how its going to work but Im sure Bungie will be testing it through and though until release day to make sure a lot of problems are worked out. If not Im sure the community will toss its two cents in and pick up the slack and things will get fixed shortly afterwards.
