↨↨↨Im the TedyBearOfDeath you should be scared.↨↨↨

yea there is a huge difference between sidewinder and containment - you cant say they were pretty much the same thing if sidewinder and blood gulch were both in halo CE


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

im sure someone has addressed this already but i will again - halo 2 had ladders too, more than most people knew about. There is the obvious wetworks but also on Headlong there are 2 ladders - the one on the short end of the broken bridge that a lot of people knew about and the one outside the map on top of a building near the twin towers - one of the 2 radio towers on top of the building was a ladder on most of its sides alowing you to climb to the top of it.

well anyways - yay new maps!!!!!! i just wish i had my xbox... stupid red ring of death

Love you Bungie!
Still playing Halo1 Custom Edition!

I too am very glad to see it is beeing remake... sadly, taking out the entire corridors and the back area will cause some problems.. as it was back then an awesome work around to avoid tank and sniper fire safely into enemy base... to then be hit by a fuel rod gun just as you entered.

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
(Led Zeppelin were the original Halo fans)

Would I get my ass kicked if I requested waterworks next? I love that initial rush for the flag...

In this great future you cant forget your past

Honestly I played Halo CE last night just to look over Sidewinder, and I have to say I am rather pleased, lets just hope they don't scale things down too much.

But I'm still angry at whomever decides the pricing at BUNGIE - blaming Microsoft for your obvious GREED is a blatant disservice to your fans

4 Maps- 800 MS points - COD4 Variety Map Pack - FOUR MAPS - I suppose you're gonna try and sell me that Infinity Ward has a better relationship with Microsoft then Bungie??

Gears of War gave us 6 maps for 800 points if you count the first two that were absolutley free from the start - grow a pair and do good by your fanbase or watch it dwindle back down to the Halo 2 kids - the ball is in your court now

  • 03.20.2008 6:22 AM PDT

beaow.

Awesome! I loved sindwinder! I hope the ice is still there, nothing better than taking a sharp turn on the ice, sliding past a rocket and then running over the other team's flag carrier.
With or without ice, I can't wait for this map!

I am really glad that bungie decided to remake sidewinder. It was a great map and is gladly welcomed into the Halo 3 family.

They're not the same -- get it through your thick head already.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best day EVER!!!! I was hoping and hoping it'd be Sidewinder, I was even hoping before Halo 3 came out that Sidewinder would eventually be added as a map, HOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if this has been stated in this forum, so sorry if it has been reposted. But to answer the questions about the third map release, Xbox.com has said it is classic map(another remake), which is small and slayer friendly. My guess is Chillout or Midship. I think they are going to keep the Dark, cold feeling of the map because of the "Moon" stage name Avalanche and this third map have. Both Chillout and Midship have that Dark feel, and both could have a "Moon".

Legendary Map Pack

Frag the WEAK. Hurdle the DEAD

This would be the most EPIC map pack if you all included BLOODGULCH..!!!!

I really think that is everyones favorite map or well actually I know it is.

Edge 2.0 - The New Sandtrap, but out of the map!!!!

Thnx

With Ghost Town i can create a Predator map to go wit my gamemode + Avalanche is a remake of one of my favourite maps eva!!! So 3rd Map cud just be a big turd that ud hav to walk around on and try not to get stuck in the wet bits. But i think that Bungie might do something clever and fix the out of the map stuff by making it set on a moon that u can just go allthe way but its a very small moon obviously with bases nd stuff. Neway thnx 4 Sidewinder again Bungie!!!!

It's Considewinder.

I hope this map is a big as they are saying it is. It would be terrible if it turned out to be cramped. I hope the bases are expansive as well...
