This would be where my signature goes...

I was happy about this until they mentioned the Spartan Laser. I freakin' hate that thing... it often makes vehicles useless. I am a hog driver, and I actually enjoy dodging missles, rockets, powerdrainers, fighting Banshees etc., even when I die... but getting Lasered is just not a fun way to go out. It does not require any skill to use, just aim, and get a double kill. Unless you're in a ground vehicle and happen to see where the laser is coming from in time, and happen to be next to something you can quickly hide behind, it's a cheap kill for the other team. Sure, I use it because it's there and I want to win, but I would rather it be taken out of matchmaking. There are enough anti-vehicle weapons w/o it.

sidewinder was my all time favorite map in Halo: CE, so you can imagine what i'm feeling right now. the addition of man cannons and hornets will hopefully make the CTF games more frantic and chaotic.............sweet. :D

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.


Liarz!!! There was a ladder in Headlong on Halo 2!! It was on the big door in the middle of the construction! D:< You could go up it about 10 feet! rawr.

YESS

I have finals tomorrow and was just about to go to bed and BAM! Confirmed. Now if we get Lockout I will send Bungie a million free cheezeburgers

If they bring back Lockout I'll kill you. They don't call my uncle "Bob the Butcher" for nothing.

awesome now we need some new armor varients and we will be set.

  • 03.19.2008 9:12 AM PDT

I aim to misbehave.

Hornet in matchmaking... check.
Vehicles customized for specific map look... check.
Forcing everything out in the open...check.
I hated the tunnels in Sidewinder, so happy they are making it a vehicle-heavy map and it's GREAT to finally have another map to play in BTB games.

"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

Very cool. Haha. Cool.

I love the detail on this map. I am dying to see the high res screenshots.

I also can't wait to see the hornet in matchmaking.

Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack (800 MS Points)
Published March 19, 2008

More than 7.3 million copies of Halo® 3 have flown off store shelves, upwards of 500 million hours of frag-tacular online gameplay have been logged on Xbox LIVE®, and the Heroic Map Pack has been downloaded by more than one million gamers and counting. But it’s not over yet …



"Avalanche" is a massive vehicle-oriented map.

Microsoft and Bungie today announced that April 15 marks the release of the next wave of Halo 3 downloadable content. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points, the Legendary Map Pack introduces three new maps to the award-winning multiplayer experience—Ghost Town, Avalanche, and one map yet to be revealed. With the addition of some exciting Forge options, explore new ways to create and share your customHalo 3 content.

Ghost Town
This map is a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins outside the once-prosperous city of Voi. Collapsed ceilings and shell-battered buildings provide both valuable cover and deadly traps, as catwalks and stairways take the fight from claustrophobic ground combat to dizzying rooftop battles. "Ghost Town" is a mid-sized map ideal for Team Slayer games and smaller objective types.

Avalanche
"Avalanche" is a tribute to "Sidewinder," a Halo®: Combat Evolved fan favorite. This massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors, and brand new vehicle variants. Take a ride and admire the visual variety from the cockpit of the retuned Hornet.

???
The third map to be included in the Legendary Pack has yet to be announced, but stay tuned for full details on another returning classic … fans of smaller Slayer maps, it’s time to get excited.

--- DIRECTLY FROM XBOX.COM... ANOTHER REMAKE COMING???

OH, COME ON! Go away. The map pack Bungie is releasing is awesome. If you don't like it, play some junk game thats a current release.
