I AM SO HAPPY YOU REMADE SIDEWINDER AND NAME AVALANCHE SOUNDS AWESOME!

Top 3 Remakes Opinion:
1# Blood Gulch
2# Sidewinder
3# Beaver Creek
Even thought i would have preferred that you guys do 'Blood Gulch', i still think its awesome that you did my 2nd favorite map 'Sidewinder'. Personally, i was thinking that you guys wouldn't start doing remakes until there was some kind of 'Classic DLC'. For instants;
- Heroic - Legendary - Mythic - Classic - was what i was expecting to be the next DLC's. ('Classic DLC' i thought would have 3 remakes of maps). At first, i was expecting that it wasn't going to be a remake at all, rather a mix of map elements from multiple snow and/or non-snow based maps. Another thought was that it was going to be a snow covered version of 'Blood Gulch', but then realized, if you did do a remake of 'Blood Gulch' you probably wouldn't change the atmospheric feel of the level from 'Blistering Hot Desert Grassland' to 'Freezing Cold Ice Glacier'. Finally, i was pretty sure it was either going to be 'Sidewinder' -because of the number of snow covered vehicles available for use- or an entirely new map all together. So turns out i was half right. All 'n' All, 'Avalanche' will be a great addition to the expanding array of halo 3 maps and i highly look forward to the final 'Legendary DLC' map announcement and downloading it on April 15. Keep em' coming, Bungie!

Everybody is appreciating the new map pack that is going to be released because if bungie wanted to they had the option to not even make the maps so we should appreciate that they are actually giving us the maps

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

This map is gonna be so good for CTF.

i like it but i think they should focus more on the favorite maps from halo 2 instead of 1 like the lockout, ascension and ivory tower

If most of the posts here are promoting avalanche, then most people like the map. Stop saying "noone likes it" because apparently they do.

giveing the maps? ya if they really was they order m$ so make them cheaper or free or no maps~ not every one is apprectaing the new maps becuas ehtris other big level with nothing to do just like snow bound with noting on top boreing~ they have the option to bring back the good maps in halo 2-1 so 4 ppl dont appreciat untill thye do~whats the point of spending the 10 bucks when they not even gonna put in matchmaking? for a month

  • 03.19.2008 1:48 PM PDT

Just makes me want to stab everybody I can with plush dolls (dont worry, its a praise)

P.S. just noticed that this guy above me needs to learn how to spell. "I can hardly read what you're writing buddy!!!" (this go's for lots of others too) I mean, if you're going to complain about the map, do it right!

and also the majority of halo players like to just kill people on normal size maps in team slayer instead of CTF or neutral bomb on hugh maps

I will bet millions of dollars that the original Sidewinder will -blam!- all over this maps face. I'm sorry, but this map just has fail written all over it. Why does Bungie insist on having man cannons EVERYWHERE!? Honestly, I'd love an answer. And why do they want more emphasis on vehicle battle and say that "Sidewinder games always ended in boring foot races and objective stalemates"? Complete and utter bull-blam!-. I played Sidewinder CTF two versus -blam!- two and it NEVER got old, boring, or stale. It was fun, strategic, and intense. Trying to stop caps or counter cap, it got very, very heated. The vehicles played their role, the passages played their role, the teleporters played their role, and most importantly the -blam!- ladders played their role. Ramps over ladders? Really Bungie? I know you haven't put ladders in a game since H1, but maybe thats just another reason why H1 kicks the -blam!- out of the other 2, H3 more specifically. And trust me, I've played this map more than enough to know what I'm talking about. 3 seasons of CAL and 4 of TWL Halo PC along with pugs and pubs has certainly given me more play time on the original Sidewinder than probably a good number of Bungie employees. Seriously, why would you ever think the tunnels is where the actions concentrates? If anywhere, it concentrated on the teleporter cliffs. Sniper battles from either the 2nd level of the bases to the cliffs or cliff to cliff was probably the most concentration, but there really wasn't one spot you could pinpoint as being the biggest center of activity. You had to utilize all of your options (warthog, teleporters, tunnels) to effectively work the map.

Basically, adding a -blam!-load of vehicles and mancannons doesn't do any justice to a previously excellent map. Sure, I haven't played it yet, but I can guarantee it won't feel anything like Sidewinder, and to call it a successor or inspiration is just a discredit to a classic. I don't get why it is so difficult for Bungie to simply remake maps. IF IT ISN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT! First Hang 'em High and Derelict, then Lockout, then the BR and pistol, now Sidewinder. Simply sad.

first off QFT and second add longest to the list of good maps that had a really bad remake's.also, i was looking forward to this map pack, until i saw those pics of this sidewinder poser map.the only way im going to even dowload this is if the third map is a GOOD midship remake, but knowing bungie im sure they will find a way to botch it in some manner, add that to the nerfed sword and frankly im not sure that a midship remake will even be good.also for the love of god stop making big maps, we have enuf of them,we need smaller maps that are actually good, whatever happened to all the balence of small and large maps?now it seems like all bungie is doing now are big maps.
