How big is avalanche?

  • 03.23.2008 2:48 PM PDT

Eh, Bungie! Why the heck can you only put a maximal of 8 weapon holders on the map in Last Resort? They are extremely useful for all kinds of things, yet 8 isn't even enough for a party of 16 people! Also I use them for floating bridges, platforms, etc. Just download my BUNKER DEFENSE map and you'll see some of all the uses I have for them! ALLOW US TO PUT MORE WEAPON HOLDERS ON ARE MAPS!!!

OH HELL NO!!! They took everything that was great about Sidewinner and removed it!!! Now the map is only going to be playable because of its custom vehicles and maybe forging.

that map sucked in halo 2 and it's going to suck in halo 3!
end of story


What? Sidewinder/Avalanche was not in halo 2!! If you mean containment then your very wrong!
1. Containment did not suck!
2. Avalanche is a remake of sidewinder! A very good and very different map to containment!

Anyway, thanks bungie! Ive loved all the maps so far in halo3 (exept maby isolation). And i really love remakes of the classics, like Zanzibar. I wonder if the third is a remake or original.....?
If i had to pick anymore remakes they would have to be Blood Gultch (obviously) and Boarding Action, used to love snipers on halo 1 there!


Containment sucked, the only time I played on that map was when glitching or playing with somebody that modded the map. Sidewinner on Halo 1 ruled. Infact almost all Halo 1 maps pawned. Remakes almost always stink...

"The Spartan Laser also has a big impact on gameplay. I remember a game where the assaulting team had taken the flag, jumped into a mancannon and landed on a teammate’s hornet in hopes of being flown back to their homebase. Just as the flag carrier lands on the hornet, a Laser shot lances the Hornet in a beautiful explosion of red and orange. The flag carrier somehow lived through the explosion and against all odds scored a flag cap a few minutes later… true story."

Can I get a VID?

Hated by many, confronted by none.

Does anyone know the size of Avalanche compared to Sandtrap?

"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."

is it just me, or was there a ladder in the Halo 2 multiplayer lvl where you could shoot stalagmites from the ceiling.(over by the sword.)?

First of all the idea of coming out with Sidewinder is a complete joke. It was a fun H1 map, but people have got to face the facts and realize that H3 plays nothing like H1. In H1 you had the pistol so it made it seem like the map was smaller than it actually was. Good luck to anyone who is gonna try and BR, and everyone out there who likes to use the AR which is a joke in itself so have fun not getting any kills unless everyone plans to meet in the center, across sidewinder because that'll be impossible with the random spread of it so there will be a limited amount of kills. Also, another comical thing I read is that this map was being called out for by the public when I can think of 10 maps more suited for H3 and have been highly requested those being Lockout, Midship, Warlock/Wizard, Chill Out, Beaver Creek, and Santuary at the top of the list. I also like to read that there is a need for more BTB maps when there are already too many BTB maps and not any small competetive maps. The only 2 good competetive maps out there right now are The Pit and Construct, because all the other ones are too big.
All in all maps shouldn't be made because they were fun in H1 because you have the pistol which you can do a lot longer range damage with which made the maps fun. Maybe, or should I say defidently, smaller maps should be made. More maps should be made without vehicles and rely on shooting and teamwork instead of jumping in vehicles and running around. Remakes from H2 should be made since H3 and H2 play about the same because that would actually make for some good maps and maybe appeal to some of us competetive gamers out there because we are out there and are watiing for some of those standout H2 remakes and even new small arena competetive maps to make the game everything it can be.

I hope that it still offers lots of hiding and stealth play as appose to an onslaught of vechiles they seemed to talk about.

I just missed the "no radar" all snipers shoot outs with the boys in the old lan parties.
I hope that still comes across well..

  • 03.24.2008 1:45 PM PDT

I think that there should be Chiron TL34 (FFA Rockets), and also, why do all the old remakes have new names? Like Blood gulch turned to Coagulation, and there isn't even Coagulation on Halo 3, just Valhalla, but that just isn't the same. I think Boarding Action woud be an interesting place to par-tay. And whats the problem with ladders?!?

sweet. cant wait for the new maps, and to actually get some use out of the heroic maps. its great that they (heroic maps) will be free, but what about those of us, myself included, who actually PAY for the maps when they come out. how about some incentives or some kind of bonus? we buy the new maps and then just have to sit on them until the, no offense, tight wads get them for free. either way, the new maps look awesome so i'll buy them and just wait a few months so i can play them.

p.s. big rocket race fan. will we see the heroic maps cause valhalla and sandtrap are getting a little old and no one plays snowbound or isolation.

sorry to say but... ctf is going to be -blam!- with the hornet. if you have a guy with the flag on your side its an easy kill for a banshee, a skilled sniper, or a spartan laser. but if you want to still try go for it!
