LET IT BE

you know what i just thought of? a night level. that would be pretty awesome in halo 3.
but yeah the sidewinder"remake" is one of the most beautiful halo 3 maps so far, and im looking forward to fragging on it soon.

also, im an avid Forge guy, with nearly 1000 custom games with almost nothing but forge, so i cant wait to see what new gadgets i get to use now!

I'm anticipating some fun times on this map. I'd like to see an overhead shot with weapon placements like you did on ghost town! But no ladders in any map since Halo:CE? What about on waterworks going up to the sword?

Check it when i spit it, Lick it how i writ it

So far I'm not enjoying the large maps in Halo 3. Then again, I never enjoyed big maps in any of the Halo games. Halo 1, i didn't have enough people to play with on the big maps. Halo 2 introduced Big Team Battle, but it was largely a lag fest. Now with Halo 3 the networking is very good and i still can't seem to enjoy them as much as I'd like to.

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.


yes! a new vehicle in forge would be perfect! New items, new buidling techniques, new possibilites! *lol*

I can imagine that this map would be really exciting (and or hard) with Infection

I'm not trying to brag, but I called a Sidewinder remake a while back. I think it was the November 30th Update that Bungie hinted at the possibility of a remake/ 'spiritual successor'. Proof
Another thing to note, "Sidewinder is one the most requested remakes and we also needed another big vehicle map. And maybe this isn’t the only classic we’re remaking. There’s always hope for said Internet Halo fan." That's something else to look forward to. Whether or not they're refering to a Blood Gulch/Coagulation remake, I don't know for sure and I might be jumping to conclusions, but it is still something that I wil definetly look forward to. If only Bungie added High Ground & Standoff to the now reduced Rank BTB playlist, and added the Flamethrower, Fuel Rod Cannon, and Gauss Warthog to the DLC maps, my Halo 3 experience would be complete.

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

No offense to Bungie but... This isn't Sidewinder. In fact, I hardly see any similarities at all, and all of the things that made Sidewinder Sidewinder are gone. I mean, where are the ice patches? (those dark shapes in the last pic may or may not be ice, though I sort of doubt it) The openness? The openness of Sidewinder was a good thing in my opinion, and now it seems like infantry combat was overly focused on. The indoors sections are basically all nixed, the only thing remaining is the U shape of the map, which basically means this is just a U shaped Valhalla with snow.

It seems somewhat interesting now when you look at it, but I really don't think this is the map that people were looking forward to. I don't know, I could be speaking too soon, but if it's anything like Standoff, I'm not going to be impressed.

1. i was thinking the exact same thing as soon as i saw "no ladders since Halo 1".
2. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
3. i've had my fingers crossed for sidewinder since the last weekly what's update.

Quick questions...What is the 3rd map in the DLC? Will they release it soon or will there only be 2 maps in the new DLC? Just a little confused...lol
