The YouTube video keeps going up and down. Sounds like a YouTube issue.

short, sweet, and to the point

Avalanche looks even cooler now for some reason. I love being able to see those layouts with all the weapon/vehicle/equipment spawns. Although I'm confused because the bases clearly have a Covenant vs UNSC vehicle setup, which I thought was only gonna be used for 1-sided objective games. Or is it the default setup for all gametypes now?

EDIT: Nevermind, I missed the part that said ..."weapon/vehicle placements in one-sided gametypes"

I'm also glad to hear that the heroic maps will be free next week. I'll finally be able to play on those maps with my friends now. At the moment only a handful of people I know actually downloaded them. (including myself)

Goddamn Google!

Very nice update =) The weapon/equipment-placement image really helps out to get a good image of the map.

Off to wait for tuesday and to listen to the podcast->

Luke or Stinkles, how come the Spartan Laser is closer to one base? I always go for it and it looks like one side will get to it faster.

That base it's closer to is the defense side... I'm guessing it's for gameplay issues or something. It'll probably be smack in the middle for symmetrical games.

I hope so. :(

I'm definitely now sure that Avalanche is going to serve Sidewinder well. Though, now my worry is the apparent drops in the middle.

Oh, and the comparison shot is really sexy. In a completely non--blam!- way, though.

But Bungie, here's what's going to happen. The new maps are going to be free. Mr. Uninformed walks in to play his halo. He doesn't realize the maps are free, and a message is telling him to download the new maps. He will be pissed because he thinks you're trying to force him to buy the new maps.

Hi

Hooray update! Happy about the Avalanche overview. Just need to wait for that third map reveal now.

  • 03.21.2008 6:43 PM PDT

Dont make me take off my belt!
It was my idea for the "New Teabag" of punching someone in the head with the armor lock.

can i have my money back for the maps and download them again when they are free?

Why do people always bring up this "but a movie ticket cost 10 dollars" argument, when it comes to DLC.

How many movies cost you around 65 dollars, plus an additional 10 dollars to see? That's right, none. This comparison is stupid and needs to die.

Having said that, I think the two new maps you guys have shown so far look great. When Lockout (or Midship) shows up this coming Tuesday, I'll take the plunge and pay the extra 10 for these maps when they're available.

One potential problem: if (and that's the keyword "IF") these maps are never free, that's going to really screw up matchmaking. You're going to have people who pay for maps not get to enjoy them that much if they're never properly implemented into matchmaking the way the current 3 DLC maps are going to be.
