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


A remake is alot more than just improving the design and graphics of a map. In gaming society it's important that you make progress rather than looking back in the past too much causing you to keep reproducing the exact same maps everytime but with improved graphics. If you want to be seen you need to be innovative and that's just what Bungie did, they took the basic design of Sidewinder and added some "modern" Halo equipment/stuff both in mobility and gameplay design. Bungie can't just make EXACT remakes with only improving the graphics. You have to keep moving on into this world, you can use the past as a little start off but in the end you have to create something somewhat new. And btw, I don't think you have the right to make such comments on a map you've only read a little article about without playing a few good battles on it.

Is this map going to have those built in teleporters like the original map.


There re 2 teleports in the picture, however I do know Bungie seems to dislike teleporters so they might be just in someones forge version that happened to be the one they screenshot.
If they remove the teleports from the back side wall, they will most likely toss in jump pads.....err...mancannons....that will get us quickly around.(I forgot Bungie calls the jump pads they borrowed from Quake mancannons, make em "cool")

Bungie look wat you did, you made this person want to cry. Build your maps better, you overrated game designers. Rofl. Dude, for all you know, Bungie had not the abilities to make mancannons for H1, otherwise, they may have bn in there. I'm not attackin you, cause I used to love playin H1 as well, but change happens. No more back room to throw the flag through for you. This game is evolving. I'm not saying that mancannons should be optimal for every map they make, but its not the end of the world. Who knows, maybe this map will benefit from the changes. Everything grows up, even a toys-r-us kid...

Thanks Bungie.

You are kings among men, or close enough, anyway. I always loved Sidewinder, and it will be great to see how this remake will play out. Hopefully it will, as stated in the provided information, remain true to the essence of the original Sidewinder, whilst successfully integrating some newer elements.

And, it looks great so far, especially since it contains my favourite three elements of Halo gameplay. The Hornet, The Scorpion, and the Spartan Laser. Just give me a Shotgun, and I will love you forever.

Fantastic map Bungie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im really locking foward to it.
Im slightly dissapointed that they didn't announce the "new vehicles" in the map but i hope that the version that they just showed us is the Matchmaking version and you can forge in a pelican or 2 in your own version.
Thanx again bungie.

Funny cause the above guy spammed april 15th.

But the unfunny part for him is that, well april showers bring may flowers......wait I meant its most likely a April fools joke. Like the one Bungie has done....since Halo 2....maybe before even never really cared about Bungies site till then.

Its seems that lockout didn't have much detail and looked like a test map, but if it was that would just prove that our government should be BUNGIE.
