Even Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler have done that, what their "voters" wanted from them. You´re way much worse then them.

did he really just say Bungie is worse than Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler who killed millions of people because they gave him a map that he can play on

now the question is when will the legendary map pack come out?

  • 03.19.2008 10:52 AM PDT

finally someone said that.


There was a ladder in the center of the map on waterworks and also on Headlong at the big gates next to the beam rifle spawn

and for the record,


I LOVE WATERWORKS

we need another map that was geometric interactivity

Shooting the stalagmites, making them fall, and splattering an enemy (or team-mate) was so satisfying. I'm not saying bring back waterworks, im saying we need some sort of interactive map.

YAY! but i hear it got smaller.... that sucks... and judging from the pics, there is LESS cover for a flag carrier or a bomb carrier..... that makes things difficult.... i hope this isnt that super level thats supposedly bigger than sandtrap.


It didn't get smaller moron. Bungie said it was the biggest Halo map ever! How could it be that if it got smaller.



the guy said in the update that the original sidewinder was too big and that this version was scaled down a bit so ground infantry could make it around easier. kinda takes the fun out of it.

we already have lock out
I'm sorry to tell you but Guardian isn't Lockout, it is FAR from being similar to Lockout.

1. There is no BR tower.
2. No library.
3. Bottom level. (Green Room/Bottom Lift)
4. Lift is moved to the front of Sniper tower.
5. There are man cannons.
6. The level where the Sword used to be is completely gone.
7. There are no power cores.
8. IT ISN'T LOCKOUT


Ahem...

1.) True there is no BR "tower".
2.) No library? What library was there in Lockout?
3.) There is a bottom level, even complete with shotgun in a room with a chute overhead.
4.) Okay, the lift was moved.
5.) Yup man cannons, that's different, true.
6.) The level where the sword is, had been replaced with the Gravity Hammer.
7.) There are power cores actually.
8.) Agreed, it isn't Lockout, It's Guardian and it's close enough. But what is people's fetish with that map anyway? It was OKAY. Maybe it's the fact I played it 4 billion times because everyone played the dang thing all the time. As far as a good medium sized slayer map, I was rather partial to Ascension and Turf.

Has there been any news on getting the DLC maps to actually show up in matchmaking or should we just wait until they are free if we don't play custom games?

I've played 68 games of ranked BTB without seeing Rat's nest come up once. I don't mind dropping $10 for maps but I'd like to play them.

I've seen it explained before that the DLC maps will only come up if all 16 ppl who are matched have them, that feels wrong. Isn't it possible that those folks with the DLC maps can be matched up more frequently with each other?

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

  • 03.19.2008 11:06 AM PDT

O.M.G!!!! THANK YOU BUNGIE :)

Actually, there are power cores a level above the shotgun. And a plasma battery by the sniper usually. I find Guardian to be a completely new map. Sadly, it relies too heavily on Grav Lifts, so the action never stops, but the jumps from one platform to the next aren't difficult either.

1. Jump from Plasma Rifle to Plasma Rifle (either way)
2. Jump from Mid Top to Plasma Rifle (the one closer to shotty)
3. Jump from Gold to Blue (pretty easy, but it's there)
4. Jump from PR to ledge to Gold room (very easy, but oft-overlooked)
5. Jump from Mid Top to hall between Sniper and Grav. Hammer - pretty tough!
6. 'Nade jump plus Grav. Hammer swing to reach Sniper Ledge above plasma battery!
7. Same to reach Chandelier (yeah, I just made that up) above Top Mid?!?! (haven't done it, myself)

That's what I can think of. Anyone got more?

In my personal opinion I hated sidewinder i have yet to see if this new map brings me back to halo 2 and sidewinder with its overly open terrain. sure im glad there will be another map to play BTB on but other then that i will probably stand clear of it. These people who think remakes would be good are out of there minds. this is halo 3 not halo 2 or 1 so if you have the urge to play lockout or foundation or even warlock then go play the previous games. i also think the snow painted UNSC vehicles are cool. the changes made to the hornet from what i hear are somewhat for the better but if the new hornet doesn't have the firepower then who is going to use it. now it will be a slow moving target for the laser with no missles and even if you try to shoot anybody with the guns they have been weakened and their effectiveness has gone out the window. The hornet may have just lost some luster to the players of halo 3. risky move bungie. Back to this new map, it does look good the bases are set up nice and there is still some structure for cover but the only thing i can see to come from this map is vehicular carnage. Now if thats what the designers were going for then they hit the nail right on the head. But we still have to see how the playing will go for some of the objective type games that are played on it. i don't see them working out so well. Anyways thats what i think.

I loved Sidewinder. Now what I can't wait for is the map that was full of teleporters and the space ship one (boarding ship??) with the death gap in the middle... even Prisoner would make my day. I loved the ideal of random yet tactical play and laughs with all those teleporters. I also loved how you either had sniper fun, or close range random combat on the space craft one... and he grenade and dropping in fun from prisoner. But Sidewinder is some of my best memories... I would just love a more city type map, where it's not only like. 2 buildings you can go into, but every building able to be ran through, some with upstairs, and that leaves streets for sniper fun, but the interriors for tactical play, and grenades... rooftop jupming and sniping, rockets, and perhaps even a way for vehicle jumping for drop in get aways. But yeah. Sidewinder's counterpart is going to prove to be one hell of a map and great addition..

Ivory Tower
Acsension
Boarding Action (mancannons FTW)
Blood Gultch (maybe a little wider)
Hang EM High (dont do this if it is not like Hang em high Tombstone was a terrible map dont let Certain Affinity make any more maps for you unless you are sure they are going to be great)

HAHAHA thanks for the good laugh today. I needed cheering up after hearing Sidewinder was being remade. I don't think H3 needs another huge map.
