This will be a great addition to Halo 3.

Yes, more BTB maps are needed. I like the way they are combining the look of Sidewinder and Containment together.

The only thing that made Containment boring in Halo 2 MM was everyone's Attention Defecit Disorder, which led to much quitting. When all (or most) of the players stayed througout the duration of a Multi-Flag game on Containment, those games were absolutely intense!

Af far as the Lockout-remake issue, I am hoping for a "Remake" along the lines of what happened with the transition from Zanzibar to Last Resort. Guardian is a fun map, but I loves me some Lockout!

the hornet IS going to have misiles, just not homing misiles right?
i mean whats the point of using a hornet without that fire power? u couldnt compete against a banshee if u didnt have misiles

and the whole idea of a scarab like vehicle is gr8... think 1 player driving and sumbody else using the turret on the top os the scarab

Out of all of the planets inhabitants there was only one, only one like John.

The fastest way to get through hell without dieing - run.

you r-tard the hornet can have great tracporting abilitys if you have the flage carier hop on or you can have people with good wepons hop on and that makes it a wonderfull vehicl to have.

Reading this only proves that you're obsessed with me for some strange, durranged, and presumably sick reason.

It will not have any missles. But it still has some powerfull turrets which makes it like a flying hog. This means that it depends on the pilots skill to decide a fight between banshe and hornet. Plus the hornet is great cause you can hover in a good place to take dow targets and pick up other team mates which makes up for it's lack of speed.

Seems very much like a better and improved Sidewinder. Though, I want to see what the Middle and how the mancannons will play out on it, though I'm sure it will be better than the Teleporters and the old tunnels from Sidewinder.

The maps that i want to see remade for Halo 3
top 5 are a must have IMO

1. Lockout
2. Ivory Tower
3. Ascension
4. Boarding Action
5. Sanctuary
6. Hang EM High (only if it plays like original not like tombstone)
7. Terminal
8. Foudation
9. Death Island
10. Beaver Creek
11. Midship (i think colors should be different though)

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

Well I can honestly say that I am torn by this. Based on what they have said they recreated this map into has given me a big red flag warning about this not being a near seamless translation of halo 1 sidewinder now set in halo 3.

I am not all that excited about their reduction of foot slogging middle of the map (protected from vehicles) parts of the map especially with the fact that halo 3 is still desperately lacking in small arms vs vehicles. Perhaps if landing those head shots with BRs or gently pulsing an AR actually did anything to ghost or tank pilots then I might be a bit more excited about seeing a high vehicle action map (as that is what they are pushing it as) but right now halo 3 is still too dependent on dedicated anti vehicle weapons and vehicle vs vehicle for my liking.

While I am certainly holding no hopes for a clean repeat feeling of what I get from sidewinder I am not ruling out the possibility of this map having some fun factor to it. I am curious as to what "alien grenade" we will have on this map, those walls seem to be more jagged and spike grenade mess up prone than epitaph so I am praying they give us plasma grenades for this (though even if the walls were not as scary I would still be praying for the plasma).

Even if the map doesn't do anything for me game play wise it does certainly seem like a great piece of eye candy and it should be a joy to tweak it in forge.

anyways excellent move on bungies part i was envisioning a level just like this- a remake of sidewinder- in this map pack and sure as hell u guys did it thank the lord for this decision bungie the first true map to come out of these map packs now lets keep the roll going and make a lockout remake as well as midship if possible

  • 03.19.2008 2:46 PM PDT

Hey, I just realized that there is a teleporter in the base. The man-cannon is great and all, but I miss having the teleporter in maps by default.

Yay 32nd page!!

Having only played Halo 1 a couple handful of times I don't really remember the maps to get the resemblance, looks like a decent map though. Unfortunately I don't like BTB so I doubt this map will get much use from me :( maybe if you guys end up making a snipers playlist you can add this map in the lineup like you did with containment.

Will is everything.

I'm extremely LTTP on this, but I did read it at around 2 a.m. my time (eastern) before going to work this morning. Very excited about this addition to the map roster. Sidewinder was bar none one of my favorite multi-flag CTF maps. So many epic matches... I also wanted to say that this map looks amazing artistically. Halo always had some of the best design and atmosphere.

i found IWHBYD without hex!

I'd like to see Lockout, midship, and Terminal remade. And I like your color change idea for midship... I always got a headache seeing all those purple glares.

As for Avalanche... My number one favorite map has been recreated, maybe this will bring us back to the good old Halo 1 days that started it all. Good Job Bungie Ü.

Completely agree. Bungie, I will back the above offering with a million boxes for french fries if we see a lockout remake.

Btw, the map looks gorgeous, some of your best artistic work to date.
