Gamertag- Cuz

Thank you to all at Bungie for this reimagined classic. The wait will be painful, but I'm certain very much worth it!

  • 03.18.2008 11:25 PM PDT

F***ing Awesome!!! Sidewinder was my first choice for Halo CE maps that I wanted back. Next I want Chill Out.

We can only hope to god that the last map is lockout

  • 03.18.2008 11:28 PM PDT

Very nice, fellas! Some interesting alternations, with my favorite being the addition of Mancannons. And while I'm certainly glad to hear that a remake of Sidewinder will finally see the light of day, I'm especially happy for it simply being another wide map suited primarily for BTB. It's something that I personally feel Halo 3 needed a bit more of.

So, yeah. Snow is epic. <3

Avalanche ROCKS!!!! is it in the same area as Valhalla?
PLUS: they said its NOT the only classic remake they are making..... coughlockoutcoughbloodgulchcough

Wowie bungie that maps looks awesome! I can't wait to play on another snow map, but this time way larger :D

I'm kinda dissapointed though cause when I read the weekly update last week I understood that on Tuesday all of the maps were at least shown and that before the end of the week the map pack would for sale on the Marketplace, but as only 2 maps are reveiled and there is still one to go I'm afraid we have to wait for another 6 weeks before the map pack goes for sale :(

Im kinda dissapointed... Is the Hornet the "new vehicle"? I really wanted a pelican, or scarab or something! WHEN WILL WE GET TO FLY THE PELICAN, COVENANT CARRIER OR DRIVE THE SCARAB!!! without Halo CE...

yah me to i was expecting some cool vehicle in this new map of yours cause a PELICAN would be great. If you don't want it in matchmaking please put it in forge!A

And all those forge lovers out there we cant wait what bungie has to offer us about the objects or even vehicles.

I know I have an issue with my temper and may say and do things in a match that are embarrassing and regretful. I try my best to control it but things tend to get on my nerves...like Armor Lock for example. :P
So if I do do or say something bad, then I'm sorry I didn't really mean it and you should just get over it.
Thank you.

Looks awesome! I can't wait to play in it.

Don't get your hopes up guys, I'm smelling a garbage map. "It wouldn’t be wholly accurate to call it a “remake,” but elements of Avalanche are certainly culled from Sidewinder

See that. it's another "Spiritual Failure" who said we wanted a "better" sidewinder. God... after the whole Lockout > Guardian uproar in the community you'd think Bungie would learn that we don't care for Spiritual successors, but REMAKES.

What? Have you ever thought of the fact that there has been lots of changes in Halo 3 since Halo: CE? Who's to say that Sidewinder would work perfectly in any game? I trust that Bungie's Multiplayer designers made the right decision. Anyways, Guardian's a great map in Halo 3 (IMO). It might not be as popular, but I love it.

Thank you Jeebus! I can't wait for this Bungie!

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

I could be wrong and i hope i am lol but wasnt there a ladder on Halo 2 Map : Waterworks ?

The new map looks awesome, but just thought i would ask that question as i do remember a ladder type thing in the middle of the map.

beautiful. :D

  • 03.18.2008 11:33 PM PDT

They said "MAYBE this isn't the only classic we're remaking." I'd love to see a decent (meaning, not Guardian) remake of Lockout, but I wouldn't hold my breath....the remake(s) could just as easily be for a future update....

Looks great though (although, I'm not a fan of BTB)

  • 03.18.2008 11:33 PM PDT

My other gamertags are: M foR MaYHeM and LoL im MayHeM

OMG amazing! This map looks priceless, I'll buy the DLC just like a I did the first one

Great Looking map Bungie, well worth the wait just to see the screenshots. Hope the next map is like Ascension O.O

  • 03.18.2008 11:35 PM PDT

Getting a headshot on a Elite takes less skill, playing well as an Elite takes even greater skill

I wasnt gonna coment, but after seeing the glorious pictures I had to.
Not only is it sidewinder, my favorite big map, but it looks darn pretty.
The change in setting from generic snow covered bases, to the Assault on the control room style sceneary, totally makes the map look like it fits into the Haloverse.

This map gets a perfect 10, for looks, playability, and for keeping it oldschool.
