Soffish for everyone!

Art and Halo = my life... pretty much.

Yay new maps!!! cant wait to buy them! join this group!!

i would like guardian more if there weren't a mancannon that take you right to the snipe tower. even though you can watch the person start to come over before they do it is still hard to watch those angles. any noob can come blazing over with his AR and melee attack and kill you. if that was taken care of it would be a great map...
also if any map should be remade. i sugest Hang 'Em High...back in the halo 1 days that was definiatley the map of choice. and if bungie was to remake it they should only change of few details, but leave the geomotry the same.....I know that they want to make more progess with there maps but let me just say that map was one of the best multiplayer maps ever made.easily....i know that they remade it for Halo 2, but way to many corny things were added to it, just to be added. We want the same thing becuse that is what we loved so much about it. Don't go changing the things that made the map great.
I would like Hang 'EM High to be glamared (graphically) up but still nearly the exact same thing... I would definiatley say NO manncannons in it, because everything is already perfect.....I woulnt not even ask for a remake if the xbox Halo 1 had online play. I really don't care to much about the graphics because Halo 1 was all about the stellar gameplay. if anything Hang 'Em High was the most stategic map out there for Slayer. Whoever could hold the man tower with the shottys would have the advantage for winning..whenever i get together with friends to play halo we play Halo 3 for a good few hours. but then we pop in Halo CE becuase we can't get enough of Hang 'Em High, and Chill Out....

The second Legendary Map - Avalanche - is revealed and detailed within. A cool classic gets a new look and feel.

click for full story

bungie everytime you make something like this I want to CRY. How in the -blam!- do you ruin a classic map, seriously you guys are out of your minds, Man Cannons on a HALO 1 CLASSIC MAP WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! You took out ladders, you ruined everything I dont know why I continue to think your going to do something right, you guys are probably the most over rated game designers in the world, i miss the smart competitive original halo creators who made a great game in halo 1, not this -blam!- you keep putting out in h3

ladders are stupid because the chief lacks a proper animation
i'm SO glad they took them out...
oh and btw, i hope that you can forge snowy gauss hog and a snowy transport hog onto avalanche
the latter would be awesome for infection, and i see avalanche becoming an infection classic anyway (can you say "john carpeter's the thing?")

ps: thanks for finally incorporating hornet and scorpion, and unsc vs covies sounds awesome, i've always wanted that
although i must admit it would be better with a spectre :-P

Wait... now we have to wait for Lockout...

Opps, I mean "Moonlight Sonata"

You do realize Guardian was Bungie's Halo 3 rendition of Lockout, right? It's got all of the features: the green room with the shotgun, the big lift with the two recessed cavities on each side leading to the room below, the center focus of the map which has two layers, even the foggy, quiet atmosphere. There would be no point in remaking Lockout if you already have Guardian, the maps are just too similar(like Isolation and Snowbound) geometrically.


Yes, guardian is obviously influenced by lockout, but it plays completely different.

In lockout you could find people from almost any point which would give people who knew how to focus fire a large advantage. Almost every room in lock out could be strategically held. However, in guardian everything is so constricted you usually cant see people from multiple perspectives(at least not nearly as much as a lockout inspired map should) and all the rooms are so damn small that if one person chucks a grenade the splash will take out everyone in it.

Atleast thats how i feel about it.

I'm beginning to believe that Avalanche is Fu-blam!-ng huge! anyone notice the scale of the Wraith on one side of the map!?

Agreed, guardian sucks compared to lockout, lockout is also a bigger in every way which gives more space to move around and survive. but the best thing about lockout was sticky launching, BRING IT BACK!!!! (please)

ooo, also falling of the map doesnt kill you instantly on lockout, whereas on guardian theres no chance to have ur hilarious revenge on the person who hammered you off the edge

  • 03.19.2008 2:47 AM PDT

Thank God theres a remake. now theres hoping the third map is a halo 2 remake.

lukems:
Sidewinder is a classic Multi-CTF, FFA snipes, TS snipes, FFA TS Heavy Weapons board.
If this remake is anything like it, single bomb, single flag, or even territories games will not work correctly on it.
Please don't force game types onto maps that don't work correctly by adding more krap like "tanks". ;p

peace, BOE

The map looks fantastic, but is there 3rd map, if there is that will deside if this new map pack is worth the money, but i'm still going to get it no matter what!

  • 03.19.2008 3:06 AM PDT

Yes, you're the man/company Bungie! I was really looking forward to Sidewinder, now, we just need Lockout, and this will really be a legendary map pack, worth spending 800 M$ points on.
