hey look where i live, LOL

Finally this is worth 10 bucks, well i guess i wont have to play halo1 to play sidewinder. ^.^
this is just sweet.

Looks fun...but I'm sure that all these people getting down on their knees and giving Bungie snowblowing jobs will be the same people that come back to the forum to complain when the map actually comes out. Any map with lots of vehicles is always fun for me, so even if everyone else thinks this map sucks I'll still like it. However, I will never forgive Bungie for removing the Plasma Rifle, Carbine, Beam Rifle and Sentinel Beam from the starting weapons...NEVER! (Seriously, I make a mention of it in every post)

we have to pay again.who keeps saying to put money on this download. all of the halo 2 downloadable maps were free so Y do we have to pay yet again. I thoght for most of winter that it would be free. Great now i got by more microsoft points.

I only called this way back on January 4th. My predictive powers are now pointing to moonlight sonata being a Lockout remake. But not with as much confidence as i predicted Avalanche.

Moonlight sounds like a Midship remake if anything. Lockout WILL NOT be remade, it has already been addressed by Guardian, read the interviews, they already said that Guardian is a remake of Lockout. Not a replica but still a remake of sorts and they will not dedicate another map to it, at least not in Halo 3. I actually want Moonlight to be a completely new map, hopefully a big map to add some variety in BTB.


Well they sure did a good job of screwing up a good map if thats the case.

I rarely post about these but now I just have to.

Thank you Bungie! I cannot express how long I've wanted to feel the chill of the snowy canyons of Sidewinder again. Avalanche not only looks, but sounds like pure awesomeness. There is no way on earth I will not be getting the Legendary Map Pack now, I'm in love.

I only have one question: Will we still see the "ice ponds" which made your vehicles slip and slide? (If answering is possible, could it be done via a private message since this thread is huge). I'd love to see those again, although I'm sure this map is equally as awesome with or without them.

*Waits anxiously for the 15th*

My Friends and I are debating, when are the maps coming out exactly?


Funny cause the above guy spammed april 15th.

But the unfunny part for him is that, well april showers bring may flowers......wait I meant its most likely a April fools joke. Like the one Bungie has done....since Halo 2....maybe before even never really cared about Bungies site till then.


true... and how does 15 April (1,5 and 4) go into 7 (the "bungie number"


5*4=20+1=21=7*3

And why do people keep asking for the pelican, it will not happen. That and the other oh-so-requested vehicles are too large. Use some common sense.

i was thinking moonlight could be either :

A remake of truths ship on h2

a remake of that UNSC ship on h2

Or...... be 50 googolplexes in the future (a number with *starts to count* 100,000 digits)

or (lets be realistic here) a completely new map in space like that surfing game when on last level ur riding on a weird wave of rainbow light whoo oo oo Still lovin bungie tho ^U^

I am really looking forward to these maps. Personally, I thought the Heroic maps were really weak, but Avalanche looks like it's going to be worth the money alone. I just hope Bungie does something really innovative in the future w/ its maps. I don't know why but for some reason I really want a third adversary introduced. For example, in campaign you have epic moments where it's a free for all between the flood, covies, and humans. It'd be awesome if there were a third party in Multiplayer fighting both the blue and red teams. Something like a Scarab or flood army. What do you guys think?


Also wouldnt you get kinda angry if you were about to snipe someone and a combat form came up and assasinated you.

Never played original sidewinder, but i love big maps.. This sounds like it will be good.
oh yeah, a lot of people mention ladders in waterworks but has everyone forgotten there is ladders on halo 3, there are ladders in isolation.

Personally I feel ripped off after the last round of maps. I do not intend to download these maps until they are free. I have already spent a crap load of cash on the Halo franchise and I dont think 3 more maps are worth another $10. Just my two cents worth, or lack thereof.

Know that although in the eternal scheme of things you are small, you are also unique
and irreplaceable, as are all your fellow humans everywhere in the world.

Nope, hectic games are the most fun for me. After a while it gets boring just shooting the other team. A scarab wandering around would be sweet.

Halo 3 Academy Staff
RvB Episode 100- Sarge destroying computer Vic says "Whoa dude that was my Heat Sink now how the f*** am I going to sink my heat"

PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals

thanks for the great game

When do we hear about the next one? jk
but seriosly when?

If you mean the ones in the bases, they're not actual ladders. They just look like ladders and (assuming you mean them) you're not the first to be fooled :D

  • 03.19.2008 12:47 AM PDT

everybody complains about maps costing 800 points, $10. Common, ever gone to see a movie at the theater $20, I am sure you will get more than a few hours out of new maps.
