Awesome. The Ghost Town objects look great. The filters are a great idea. Juicy!

yes i love the whole idea with the static crates, shield doors you cant walk through (finally), the filters and the vehicle color change. also if you look closely they used the color filters in the trailer ex. the black and white ghost town intro. also unfortunately my xbox is broken and i am "supposed" to get a new one on Monday or so but reading what people say on the internet it will probably not be until after the maps come out :( but oh well i will just have to wait a few more painstaking days to find out.

Jason Jones of Bungie famously said of Halo 2 that: "it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too." As a sequel, Halo 2 couldn't quite live up to that extravagant claim.

Nice!!!!!!! I like this update alot!!!! I need to create a time machine to take me to the 15th

Dude, sniper perch and watchtower sound sick!!! That's gonna be so great, and from more of those pictures, I think I like Ghost Town a lot more now. I gotta ask though, why did you put the blurry effect? Wouldn't that be really hard for gameplay?

u guys need to explain more about the filters. the look so cool and i want to know how they work because right now i'm just really confused and i want to learn


Hey man, they actually work while IN gameplay, this is going to be SWEET

"I agree OP. I, too, love feeling superior to others and enjoy the sensation of belonging to an imaginary elitist group on the internet."

OMFG FIRST! Wait...

Forge Filters look pretty cool. It's even better then I thought. I believed you had to take a shot from INSIDE the sphere to get the look. But in game, and all in the map? Pretty sick.

The other items look ok. The Solid Shield Doors should satisfy my need for a barrier.


Avalanche looks pretty cool. I like how this map isn't as bright as the original, and looks like twilight. I will officially BUY this map, no waiting like I did for the HDLC.

I LOVE the afect called "Gloomy", these stuff are going to help with the movies i want to make, or you make, i could give the carracters, the maps, and maybe 7 episodes worth of stuff, just send me a game invite or make me your friend

yes, the filters are a good idea, but they will kill originality

I think that it is going to be extremely awsome, not just from the pictures showing the items in the forge game but from what ive seen from the heroic map pack so i has to be good and the only question we really should me asking is it will cost money like the heroic map pack because the wait was so suspenseful but very annoying

Who else thinks Bungie should change Brig. Generals to look like this?

RAW. ima make blood gulch on avalanche


Me too, I'm gonna cut off half the map and add bases to both sides. It'll be the next best thing to Blood Gulch. We will call it...The Real Cottonball. BTW, wtf? I've got pink shoulders now. WHERE ARE MA PINK SSHOULDERZ??? EDIT: Never mind, I think I fixed it.

"Be Silent and Swift..."

All of the maps look awesome, and so do the new Forge items. Sidewinder was my favorite Halo CE map so I'm definately happy about Avalanche. Thanks Bungie.

Could you change the release date to the 9th (thats my birthday). ; ( please...

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

now lm excited on to what kind of features the maps will have in forge l never expected the filter and now lm sure u guys will create really fun options to use on forge in the following map packs

  • 04.04.2008 7:37 PM PDT

I work here: Sound Devices, LLC. We make bad-ass field audio gear, and you think that's awesome. My messy desk (With work-related items on the computer screen).

One does not simply grenade jump into Mordor...

I think the most exciting thing about this map pack is that we're getting an old classic back that we can forge. Yes, there was Zanzibar/Last Resort, but it was significantly altered and made into something relatively new. It seems like Bungie really stuck to the traditional geometry with Blackout. But what makes that particularly cool is this: Now we can forge a map that we are extremely intimate with.

In some ways, I think that a little bit of the fun is taken out of Forge (Or at least it's usefulness is harder to realize) when we can immediately alter the maps right out of the box. Playing a map's default settings forever is really the only way to perfect the concept(s) of whatever specific changes you might make to it. We spent hundreds and thousands of hours tooling around those Halo 2 maps and waxing on the specific changes we wish we could make for many more hours (At least I know I did). Now, we can start forging Blackout hot off the download and know exactly what we're doing.

Once again, I can't wait.

FIRST! i wish...the forge filters sound pretty awesome, but i was under the impression that the picture of the elite was the hint of bots in multiplayer...


I had the same thoughts exactly. LOL..Too good to be true i guess..

But awesome update. Forge is getting all the updates it needs now and the Sheild Block thing is good too.

And this is good too..and that..and this..and that...

-blam!- THIS. YOU GUYS ROCK BUNGIE! ROCK -blam!- BADASS YOU GET ME!?!

Just 2 questions:

1. What is the chance of bots in Forge anytime in the future?

2. Are the screen effects only for new maps or even old maps?

3. Will the soccer ball be available in these 3 maps?

4. Will some elements from Heroic maps Forge Pallet be present?

Get ready Bungie. A bunch of fans who are at COD4 now will be back.

And you owe me 3 more sets of underwear on TOP of the 3 from yesterday's trailer. pay up!
