I can't say I approve of another remake, even if it is well designed. Remakes don't take any creativity. Sidewinder is great for Halo 1, but Halo 3 needs more small to mid-sized levels. Guardian is the only map for good 2v2 battles (maybe foundry). There are plenty of BTB maps already. I hope the third map isn't a remake.

I'm definitely happy that bungie is still working hard to keep this game fresh. The hornets might make this level better than it's CE counterpart. Who knows.


They're feeding the community what it wants. In case you didn't read the article, a large portion of the community was asking for a Sidewinder remake, and they delivered.

I'm glad to see this fantastic map making it's way back into Halo. ;D This map was a blast to play on, and I'm sure it'll be a blast on Halo 3 too. One thing though, does it have ice patches? D: I want to do a barrel roll on the ice, damnit.

Prediction: Next map revealed is going to be a remake/spiritual successor of Lockout.

Sweet!!!
This is just one more reason to like halo, soon the whole world will be forced to like it.

I wonder what you will name the next map pack. Heroic and Legendary are taken. Guesses?

I like what I have seen so far from Avalanche and the new Legendary Map Pack. In less then a month they will be ours. This is going to be epic. Any chance of Gulch Wars returning to BTB? Avalanche (and many other maps) would be awesome for it.

LB: The basics are the same, but you’ll notice some new additions (man cannons), and some things missing (the interior tunnel between the bases). We also haven’t had any ladders in Halo multiplayer maps since Halo 1, so we had to re-design the interiors of the bases to accommodate that. There are a lot more quick ways to get around the level now, that’s probably the biggest change.I hate to call you on this but there is a ladder on Halo 2's Waterworks level.

may i ask how that resembles sidewinder? its U shaped with containment bases and some new terrain that has never been in any maps or resemble sidewinder in any way.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

OMFG Roxorz!!!

lolz this be incredible looking.

Finally Sidewinder!!!! 1 question though at first everyone thought this was onslaught, so is that the final map? Because this was codenamed Cottonball!

  • 03.19.2008 7:34 AM PDT

We also haven’t had any ladders in Halo multiplayer maps since Halo 1

Ummm.... Waterworks? I seem to remember a ladder in that Halo 2 map.

Ya i think there were more too. (Cant think off the top of my head)

  • 03.19.2008 7:36 AM PDT

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

well you knew they weren't going to do blood gulch because Valhalla is sooo similar to it (can we all agree that it's not a remake just somewhat similar?) so that left sidewinder as the only classic big map to re-do. I saw it coming but I'm still happy they did it. Now one more remake of a small-ish classic and that should satisfy the fans' thirst for sacred soil....

  • 03.19.2008 7:38 AM PDT

This looks awesome. Can't wait for the other one to be revealed and then for the release and to play them.
Edit: To Cowfister humans just dominate, period end of sentence.

They still need to make a really close coagulation/blood gulch i would really like to do warthog wars the right way but still Avalanche sounds BA

  • 03.19.2008 7:41 AM PDT

My excitement for this map is lessened by the fact it will not be mandatory in matchmaking and for that reason will very rarely be seen in actual BTB. *sadface*

  • 03.19.2008 7:42 AM PDT

Thanks for 3 great Halo games Bungie.

Can we get some hi-res desktop quality shots?

Sidewinder+ look of containment = Avalanche.
