I am impressed with how this looks so far. I love vehicles and I really can't wait to play on Avalanche. There is still the third and final map of the pack to be seen. Legendary Map Pack RULEZ!

  • 03.19.2008 5:49 AM PDT

Endurance, Speed, Defense!

Best Map ever to Best Remake ever! Thx Bungie!

HALO

LB: Since the Halo: CE days, Sidewinder has been a fan favorite. Sure it might not be on EVERYONE’S list, but it seemed to be on the short list for a lot of incredibly vocal fans. And hell, it’s HUGE! And we needed more BTB maps.

MB: It just made sense. Looking back at the release maps and DLC1 maps, everyone could see that we needed another Big Team Battle map along the lines of Sandtrap, and with the Community's love of Sidewinder, it was a great fit.
Oh yes, just what we need.. MORE big maps.

Where the hell are the arena maps in this game? There are absolutely none! In every Halo game you guys graced us with at least 1 arena map in the mix of the release maps but so far we've gone through 2 DLC's and there's still no mention of an arena map. The only arena map I've heard of was Purple Reign and you guys have pushed that back to the NEXT map pack that probably won't even come out until late this summer.

Don't get me wrong, Sidewinder was on my list of maps that should be remade for Halo 3 but this is just ridiculous.

Another thing is the lack of good competitive asymmetrical maps like Chill Out and Lockout. (Guardian is a piece of crap, sorry.)

PS: Can you guys start getting at least a little creative when making up map names for Halo 3? Sheesh..


The reason why bungie won't make any "arena" Maps for halo 3 is because you can make all the Arena maps you ever ever need out of foundry. A map that makes people use vehicles is needed.

No ladders since halo 1??!? Uhm hello look at waterworks.


LOL you know more than the maker's of the game! ( Thanks btw I know there was a ladder some where but I could't think were)

  • 03.19.2008 5:51 AM PDT

Raven
I am ACRaven. I play stuff. That is all.

Useful Stuff: Skull Guide, Forum Rules, Armor Gen.

Yay! Sidewinder FTW!

What sucks is that we all have to wait about a month for the new maps. Sad Face :(.

This is great, i hope their next map is sort of like a city map, like turf in halo 3. or that one with the train.

Mind my language.

I don't get what's -blam!- wrong with some people here on this Forum. Bungie just revealed an awesome map. And you go around -blam!-ing say, "OH BOO HOO HOO. THIS NO SIDEWINDER!" or move to random crap about GTA. Sure, Bungie could have just taken Sidewinder, improved the graphics and said. "Look. I haz new maps lolololol."

But they didn't.

Why?

They care about our gameplay. They must have seen that the original Sidewinder in Halo 3 would not work out well. Hence, the adjustments. I mean what's the -blam!- deal? You get a map that you have only read about, not even seen a video of it and then you go around -blam!-ing that it is not Sidewinder and start complaining. Heck, even if Bungie gave you the original Sidewinder, you guys will probably still complain. The Tweaks in Avalanche WERE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO LET EVERYONE's FAVOURITE MAP WORK IN HALO 3. Why would you want the exact remake if it doesnt work in Halo 3? Halo 3 is not the same as Halo CE. Let me repeat.

HALO 3 IS NOT THE SAME AS HALO CE.

Get that into your thick heads. They kept sidewinder just made Sidewinder possible to be played in.

*take a deep breath and exhales sharply*

When I saw this, my jaw dropped. Once again, Bungie has never ceased to amaze me. You have one of the best map designs ever made. And the screenshots itself make it seem that games will be epic, fun and chaotic: Definition of Halo 3. Good job, Bungie. Another great map made. And Bungie, ignore what some annoying -blam!-s say. The map is great and you have my support for all these maps.

Now, just bring back the original Lockout. That was really great and the truth is: Guardian is a great map but as you have said, its just a spiritual successor.

Good job Bungie. Good Job.

Please tell me you are joking.

That is the worse excuse I've ever read in my life. I want to play real arena styled maps in matchmaking. If you honestly think a dirty room (THAT ISN'T EVEN 4 WAY SYMMETRICAL BTW) full of crates can actually make a good arena map then you are absolutely retarded, sorry to say.

You must dumb down what an arena styled map is completely.

Also, we don't really need any more vehicle biased maps. We have Sandtrap, Standoff, and Rats Nest. I'm not saying we can't use more but as of now we don't have ANY arena maps, AT ALL. This game isn't all about huge maps and vehicle focused gameplay.

On another unrelated note, it complete sucks that ladders won't be returning for Halo 3.

Yes. There is NO Arena Map and Foundry isnt really a good excuse. just be patient and have faith on bungie. Who knows? The third map may be an arena map or in the next map pack. Just be patient.
