Finished the fight.

That map looks so sexy. I am going to make love to that helipad when no one is looking....Seriously, nice job on the new maps, can't wait! Plus night-time? Very sweet touch.

yes! awesome. Looking at the pic where you're facing the main building from the top of the lift area, I literally had a H2 flashback. awesome work, Bungie.
Now, to make my life perfect,
please...
please...
new Backwash? please? I got my 360 about 4 months after getting H2, and i got xbox live after that....I never got to experience Backwash to its full glory. I loved it.
but anyways. thanks, looks great! can't wait to play it!

Or you know instead of having 2 versions of Lockout on H3, Bungie could've remade a different and better map such as Ascension or Ivory tower. Seriously, We already have Guardian. That's good enough for me.
EDIT: Yes Backwash too. Why did they take that out of H2 MM?

SAAWEET this map pack should be amazing!!

People really should stop complaining about "What? I thought gardian was a remake of lockout why make another one." If you have ever played lockout you would know that gardian is not a remake. Gardian is a map that is ment to play like lockout but not ment to be a remake. Maps like that are a good thing, they play very well for most gametypes. Halo 3 could use more maps like it.

One person even complained that them saything that they would leave as many as the jumps in as they could ment that there would be bouncing to get on top of the towers. They went on saying how they were tired of lockout because of people using them to kill them over and over. Honestly that guy is very slow in the head if he thinks they would purposely put bouncing in the map. For one bungie would never do that and two it would be impossable for a superjump to even happen in halo3 the same way it did in halo2. They ment like the jump from the top mid to the ramp up to sniper tower and the jump from the top mid railing up to the front slant of BR tower.

Also some complained that they should stop making remakes and make original stuff. Personally I think that some of the original stuff to halo3 has been bad - exp.: highground(for slayer not skirmish), sandtrap, standoff, narrows and that all the remakes/simalar maps have been good. Thats just my opinion, I know many disagree.

Well I think that the map pack will be amazing. I think that the maps are totally worth the 10 bucks. Hopefully now that the heroic map pack is free it will become manditory to play matchmaking.


also...dude...our emblems are exact opposites...and Blackout arouses me

I believe Backwash was removed because of the 360 having problems with the fog.

Anyway...

*orgasm*

It looks -blam!- hell-Like Lockout. I sensed the Nostalgia the moment I saw it. The first shot looked like Forged Foundry. But hell, The other shots struck me right there.

I wish I was Santa Claus so that I could give u all a present each. But I live all the way across the world. Sighs.

I mean Guardian was a great map. One of my favs. But, it just didnt feel like Lockout. this one already does.

<3 Bungie.

PS: It felt so weird looking at a night time map. Need some time to get used to.

This map should be all about mid range assault rifles, equipment, and grenades
Yay fusion coils!
Legendary will be awesome!

I sit corrected for thinking bungie would wait until the end of the day.
Kudos on the haste.
The Legendary Map Pack looks exciting.
They had to drop the Lockout bomb, and they had to do it NOW.

CoD4 is really kicking ass and this could be the perfect equalizer for Bungie. I'm buying this without a second thought.

This is embarrasing but this is the thing im looking forward to most next month, and im going on a week long trip to the beach.

PS: is Purple Reign still in the map pack? Or are these the only ones?

Awesome... A Coagulation/Blood Gulch remake would be crazy for the next pack, with two original maps or something.

Of course, I would love to see Hang 'em High and Chiron too.

wasn't vahalla known as the "spiritual successor" to blood gulch/coagulation...?

also, is blackout supposed to be in the arctic (north pole) or the antarctic (south pole) because if it is in the antarctic, the lights in the sky would not be called aurora borealis but would be called aurora australis
