DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Wow. What do "MLG" people have that other regular players don't have that makes their opinion somehow more important than everyone elses? Also, how can a SMALL percentage of Halo players speak on behalf of the entire community? I think the map shold be distributed somehow to friends of bungie, ie people who don't play that much and aren't really that serious about it.
It seems to me that too many people place too much emphasis on this MLG thing. Just play the game FOR FUN. anyway....
I agree, with the caveat that Bungie probably does have to show some co-operation with MLG so as not to raise the ire of MLG's fanbase. The internet can turn a small issue sour very quickly.

In the first reveal of Blackout, Bungie said there would be 1 bubble shield, 1 energy drain, and 1 regenerator. I looked at the map and didn't find the regenerator. did bungie take it out? Did they forget it on the map? Or am I just missing it?

I'm not liking your new favorites system. Now it's practically impossible to get onto the favorites without joining a group. Its ridiculous to force people into joining a group just to have even the slightest possibliity of getting onto favorites.

Instead of putting us incharge of the spreading the word of the new maps... you should just have an indicator that pops up the next time you log on Halo 3 that says that new maps are available free.

I couldn't find the regen, either. It seems like sniper start is the better spawn start.

Don't complain because you couldn't cut it as a competitive player. It's ok if you like to sit at home playing griffball and rocket race all day. But for people who actually want to see the game advance into something more than the big equalizer, I suggest you listen to the MLG community.

OK why would bungie make a map that is almost exactlly the same as the halo 2 map this is were bungie messes everything up and makes the game borring. this is another reason why people are getting tired of playing halo 3. Because bungie is struggleing and they dont know what to do so they think by making a map almost exactlly as the halo 2 map people would like it. I heard from people on live that they think it was a waist of time making the new halo 3 maps that are coming out in april the 15 i think. They are baised of the halo 2 maps which is a stuppid thing to do because why would you play maps that are old but just got touched up. WHY NOT MAKE MAPS BASED OF HALO 3 i think bungie should take there time on there maps and not rush it. They know people are getting tired of playing halo 3 and their way of keeping people playing the game is just by making new...... well HOLD ON oooold maps from halo 2 but just got fixed up. WOULD YOU PLAY MAPS BAISED OF HALO 2????

"this is another reason why people are getting tired of playing halo 3."

No, people got tired of halo 3 because some of the maps were nothing compared to halo 2.

" this is were bungie messes everything up and makes the game borring"

No, they responded to polls and thousands of requests for lockout to come back, the game is boring for you; not the people who actually know how to spell 'where'.

"I heard from people on live that they think it was a waist of time making the new halo 3 maps that are coming out in april the 15 i think"

a) Please translate into English
b) Correction: You heard from two of your 10 year old friends on live that it was a 'waste of time making the new halo 3 maps' - Excuse me? Bungie are giving their customers more content and you give them the talk of a Russian 10 year old's English grammar saying these new amazing maps are a waste of time?!

"Because bungie is struggleing and they dont know what to do"

a) That is why the halo series have sold an estimated of 20 million copies altogether
b) If they didn't know what to do they'd have created 3 remakes of snowbound.

"i think bungie should take there time on there maps and not rush it"

Rush it? Do you know how hard it is to make maps? clearly not because the closest thing you've made to a map is your kindergarten hello kitty island adventure made out of lollipop sticks.

"WOULD YOU PLAY MAPS BAISED OF HALO 2????"

Absolutely. Who wouldn't play maps 'BAISED OF HALO 2' (I really want to cry and laugh at the state of your grammar so far)

The fact you don't even know the english language word order, let alone the shocking spelling shows just how 'edcuated' you are - especially concerning the gaming business.

Please, go crawl under a stone, and play viva pinata.

Face it, Halo 2 is old news. It's over, done with. The emphasis was on duals in Halo 2. Now the emphasis is on mid-range combat. Blackout will be a welcome addition as a smaller map, with closer quarters for more chaotic combay. BRING IT ON!!!


That's the problem.

Halo 3 has no "arena style" maps that are great with balance. That's what Halo 2 excelled at. Yes MLG is a small percentage - but we need at least 1 decent map. There are already quite a few for the majority of the community and Bungie has even said they are trying to make maps to appease "mlg people"

This map was designed to be a remake, a REMAKE is a copy and paste with only updates IF NECESSARY.

Guardian was not meant to be lockout - similar, but it's not lockout - that is clear. Blackout IS meant to be lockout - so make it lockout (notice the similarity to names even?)

Halo 2 added the new duals system - but the maps weren't created to dual wield weapons, the maps were actually excellent for mid-long range. However, halo 3 is all close quarters hallways - short range and duals reign supreme.

"welcome addition as a small map with close quarters for more chaotic combat."

Close quarters = slow gameplay (camping, precaution, etc) = no chaotic combat
small map = there are a lot of them
addition? it's not really "adding" anything to diversify the type of maps.

lmao

Great post dark.

Navy base - you have much to learn in making arguments people will read:
1) paragraphs (seriously just press enter randomly and it won't be a wall of text)
2) spelling (spell checker even does this for you!)
3) grammar (can't help you there)

I agree with navy that this game is a failure, however, all his arguments are absolutely terrible and he should "go crawl under a rock and play viva pinata"

  • 03.30.2008 12:17 PM PDT

Blackout looks neat, and I can't wait until the maps come out. Will you guys award for the first Team Swat? Just wondering. Thanks for the maps.

It said in the update that Halo will be going through sort of a renaissance over the next few months. I'm extremely happy that Lockout is coming back, but i think Bungie should consider bringing back more of the halo 2 maps, because a lot of them were much better than those of halo 3. Every time i talk to some friends about halo, we end up getting on the topic of bringing back halo 2 maps. There is definitely a high demand out there for them. I'd wanna see ascension, beaver creek, ivory tower, midship, etc, brought back and put on Halo 3.

is there going to be a ghost of blackout like ther was in lockout

  • 03.30.2008 1:08 PM PDT

Yeah, I agree about remakes in Halo 2, like midship and ascension. Those Halo 2 maps were better than others, and there were good games on those maps that no longer exsist in Halo 3. For example, tower of power on ascension. Everyone played it, so I'm wondering when there will be stuff like tower of power and the rest of those games. Also, I think that there should be another Halo CE remake, because sidewinder was a huge hit.
