PEEPS! WENS THE NEW MAP PAK COMIN OUT!!!?????

  • 03.19.2008 12:16 PM PDT

The only way this map pack could be any better is if they put a re-make of Boarding Action the best halo map ever IMO. and for all the people saying lockout, Guardian is just like it but massively re-vamped. But I hope the last map is BA Bungie has done amazing already don't screw it up :P.

"Q: What’s different about Avalanche in terms of actual structural changes?

NS: Buelterman knows best. NO LADDERS!

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."

Lies! Waterworks in Halo 2 had ladders!

One mistake, no biggie. This map looks awesome, now if only they could remake lockout....

GG Bungie. Freakin awesome you guys brought in an awesome lookin' strategic map! If Moon base Alpha ends up looking anything in the formation like Lockout, I'll spam ur E-Mails with HAXX0RED CH33ZBUGERZ! :D

As the veil of lunacy descends, as past and future blend and shuffle, one image appears and flickers through the landscape, wraithlike. It is the Hatchling, the Newborn, walking the path of corruption, a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible.

*Shakes fist angrily*

Damn you, Bungie! I was gonna wait until this pack went free, but now I'm seriously considering buying this. I love huge vehicle maps and Sidewinder :)

One thing about bungie i dont get is they are sooo reluctant to give people what they want. i.e. Team snipers and/or team swat and/or lockout. OH SURE they'll put griffball in but not team snipez. dont get me wrong tho i <3 bungie.


andwhat does this have to do with avalanche? i swear i hate the people who are talking -blam!- about the map BEFORE THEY PLAY IT! and the people complaining that their favorite map didnt get made. they make me very :( *sad face*

hopefully these maps will be in ranked matches too becuase the heroic DLC was only social and that kinda sucked

Awesome guys, but are the Covie vehicles painted white too? Or..no..The Covenant aren't in to the whole "camflauge" thing.

Im very excited for the vehicle combat on Avalanche! I can see some pretty fancy techniques coming from the multiple vehicle types (dropping from a hornet while holding the flag, land in a moving warthog to score a flag capture would be amazing!!!!) Also, i do not think they would put 2 remakes on one map pack so i think lockout/midship/warlock/insertmaphere fans might have to wait. BTW, does anyone recall the codename of the 3rd map released. If i remember correctly Purple Reign was not going to be ready for Legendary Map Pack... was it Moonbase Alpha/Moonlight Sonata?

Edit: I stand corrected the 3rd map is a confirmed remake... i think (dont be sure until bungie says so):

the only thing i dnt like bout avalanche is that the hornet's rockets hav been taken away, and machine gun's efect reduced

  • 03.19.2008 12:38 PM PDT

It took Jesus 3 days to spawn, even CoD 4 doesn't lag that bad!!!

-{ N.London }-

yey! i was greatly disapointed with the heroic pack ( i never play them except on forge!!) but am relived what i have seen. I'm currious how much ill actually like avalaunch tho cuz on h3 i usually only play smaller maps as i find BTB randomly anoting with stuoid team mates, kill steals and LAG, but all i remmeber is fun from sidewinder....then again that was 2v2 - 4v4 lan wich would alliminate all problems... hmm time for a lan party!

ohh and stop screaming lockout! h3 doesn't need it, i wouldn't mind another simularly small (2v2 tactical/ffa) map but guardian is the lockout remake. making another would b a waste of time when they could make anything else.

Yeah, balancing can suck, but you can still fill it with your teammates....and have them armed with rockets!

That guy lied when he said there were no ladders since Halo 1 in multiplayer maps. WaterWorks from Halo 2 had 2 ladders right in the dead centre of the map.

ANYWAYS :D

This was one of my favourites from Halo 1, it will work perfectly for BTB. Hopefully the sniper has been either taken out, or harder to get because I found it extremely cheap in Halo 1 x.x especially when my playing style is run in with anything mid to close range regardless of the odds :D

Also, when you look at Avanlanche it looks beautiful :) it looks almost exactly like concept art. I really love Bungie maps that have alot of detail and I hope to see a remake of Turf! Imagine that in Halo 3 graphics! All the dumptsers you can hide in. :P

I know this is off topic but...
For the Emperor!

Lars Bakken said "We also haven’t had any ladders in Halo multiplayer maps since Halo 1"
which is not true there are ladders in the middle of water works but other than that i cant wait for the maps to come out
