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.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.
