Best Offense Is A Good Defense.
Gamer Tag : Wongnim

I'll have to admit, I was not expecting a remake of Lockout, which is totally cool. I'll rightfully assume all of the Super-Jumps are all gone now, but what did you add to the sandbox? Please say you added Man-Cannons and air-vehicles (And other things) to this map, which will greatly expand the limits of this map. I should also assume you have already thought over the use of these items and have your reasons for including/not including these items. If not, could you consider adding them? Also, please make the "Weapon-Down" as easy as it was in Halo 2 for Machinima makers and if it makes problems then can you limit it to simply custom/forge games? If not, then never mind. But thanks for listening to the better side of the community.

This is freakin sweet. But how similar is it going to be to Lockout weapon wise?

Hey all. Lukems, I have a question. One of the people in the interview said the "base" is in the middle of the antarctic. That is directly contradicted by another individual in the article who commented on the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis. Which one is it: Arctic or Antarctic?

Thanks,

I have one question concerning the new Lengendary Maps. Is there going to be new forge items or do we have to wait untill April 15th cause I got my 360 taken away. I miss halo 3.

I wonder if you can still jump and crouch off the top of the doors

also

in the middle on the walkway, do you think that you will be able to crouch under that little triangular area in odd ball? (the picture at http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/asset_popup_viewer.aspx? at=59&cc=21&item=2

yeah well he probably just didn't know that there was a different expression for the southern lights, so i guess it's aurora australis you see there and it's in antarctica (not many research stations in arctica i think because there's only ice, no land to build upon)

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

Basically, I pissed my pants. And then I blacked out. Now I'm gonna play some Halo. And be stoked that this map is coming out. Sweet.

Good map Bungie. I hope they'll be better then the HMP.

  • 03.25.2008 4:21 PM PDT

hopefully you can forge a hornet onto blackout, because the helipad would make an awesome setting for machinima with a hornet
maybe the frosty hornet from avalanche? plz :-)

I'm disappointed with this map. The sniper tower looks too much like it was colored with crayons. Since it's a harsh environment (the arctic generally gets bad storms, where snow and hail would mess up the paint job on the buildings), the buildings should be a it worn. Also, I think that the lighting could still be tweaked more to be a little darker. Of course, this is just my opinion from the pictures. This probably comes from always wanting to make as detailed a picture as possible in photoshop.

If it was up to me I would have gone with an oil rig where the map would look dirty and rugged. At the moment I'm not really excited for Blackout, but maybe when I play it my opinion will be different.
