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

Personally, i say that prisoner was probably one of the worst maps in halo 1, epecially on pc where u can have 16 people on a server at once. Prisoner is way too small for anything more than grenade spamming (which is the worst noob tactic ever and should NEVER be done under any circumstances). To the people who want blood gulch to be remade, valhalla is the blood gulch remake. Boxed canyon, 2 bases, caves on the outer edge. its just grassy with a river and mancannons. Gameplay is still the same.

Alright bungie, gg on making sidewinder, I honestly would have preffered a completely new map considering im paying another 10$, i dont suppose you would consider maybe NOT making so many huge maps, maybe some smaller close quarters ones, to, you know increase the total to like 2. That remake of zanzibar was disappointing, but it looks like this one shouldn't be. The only remake i would want to see is lockout. thats it.

Regarding not needing a new BTB battle map, I think I can disagree with you there...the current Big Team Battle map consists of 3 maps (I'm not exaggerating here, either) whereas the play lists for smaller maps is much larger....although I don't know what you would call "close quaters" map. After all is said and done we should have 5 big maps opposed to the 3 we have now, which is good....and there is no saying the last of the 3 new maps won't be really small. We haven't even seen the 3rd one yet. I suspect that it should round out the map list nicely.

big maps suitable for btb? try valhalla, sandtrap, last resort, standoff, rats nest, and now this remake.
small maps? guardian and foundry. snowbound doesnt count as a map, snowbounds a tunnel with 3 shield doors spaced at even intervals.

amen! we need more small maps! we got a lokcout i disagree with you there, what about NOT a midship remake but somthing simular, an indoor map thats symetrical. or turf would work too. i like bungies simular styled not remake aproch of lockout-guardian but there are too many big maps there need to be more maps for doubles, lone wolf and team 4v4 (not objective i want tight tactical) most of the "small maps" actyaully have enough floor space to fit btb just are made tactical by obsitcles (construct + issolation + foundry) what about actually small maps where u can see the enemy most of the time without issuing a search party!

Man, this looks cool. Although it would have been even cooler if it was snowing while you played! Bungie should make a map set at night time, and give sniper rifles night vision like in halo 1, but altogether what looks like an amzing map! can't wait!

I am so glad they are bringing back Sidewinder! that was the best map in halo3! But, i want to know why they dont use ladders in halo 2 or 3 maps... And i think the third map is going to be another remake from Halo or Halo 2! Well, i cant w8 to get them!

I dont think boarding action would be a good idea when you cant pick starting weapons, and might end up starting with sniper rifles. its way too open. U would die the second u spawned.

Yea see I was hoping that Cottonball would be the remake of Sidewinder but some guy on the forums and I had a very long discussion over what map it was going to be. He thought Cottonball would be a remake of Coagulation (which was actually a remake of Blood Gulch from Halo: CE). Because you know Blood, Coagulate (when flowing blood forms into a scab), therefore Cottonball came into mind. But I'm very glad that they came out with a huge snow map because I don't want another Sandtrap kind of level. So, hopefully I'll be able to get some nice screenshots from this level. Another plus is its going to be easy as hell to spot someone in BTB because red and blue don't blend in to well with white.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

Seriously though, is anybody surprised? I mean, I'm not mad, but I want Blood Gulch ! ! ! ! ! !
=(
Valhalla is cool and all. But if you say that it is the new Blood Gulch then Guardian is the new Lockout!!!

Besides that minor complaint... OH EM GEE! Sidewinder! yay! It looks so sexy! (Kinda like Containment...)

one word...

Infection....


BTW when are we gonna see another map with the elephant? I like it. It just needs more room to drive...

(Oh and I know I am off topic but when are we gonna see a Shade in the forge list?)


Sorry my writing was so bad... I am a little excited by the fact that good ol' Sidewinder is coming back, April 15th .. man thatis less than a month... Daaayyyyuummmm
