Good video good job exspecialy the soft map that gets rid of the out of the map problem


Where are they mentioning the soft map/ceiling aspect in the video? I watched it twice but couldn't find it out. I'm just wondering cause I wanna know what you guys actually mean with soft ceilings, it has to do with getting out of the map but that's all I know :p

Really good video. Made me appreciate Ghost Town a little more than I was before.

Still definitely looking forward to Avalanche most by far. I was worried about the fat of the teleporters looking at screenshots, but this video shows that they are indeed intact, and looking great. Overall, Avalanche looks like it may end up being my favorite Halo 3 map.

One thing about the teleporters, though. Halo 1 Xbox and Halo 1 PC had one difference in the map design. In the Xbox version, the base teleporters were only one way (out), while the PC version included two-way base teleporters allowing access to the base through teleporter route.

The question is: Will Avalanche have the Xbox or the PC version of the teleporter path? The Viddoc just barely cuts off hte top of the teleporter when the player exits the base, so I can't tell if it is a two way (with machinery on top of teleporter beam as well as bottom) or one way (nothing on top), Looking at the actual teleporter beam, I think it might be two way, but I am not sure.

Can you guys tell?

I for one prefer the PC teleporter route.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

Soft ceilings are mentioned just after the 'power drain this area and pound it with a Brute Shot' comment on Ghost Town, about 3/4 minutes in.

Death is only the Beginning

I LOVE YOU BUNGIE!!!!! It's all about the sidewinder!!!!!

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

Great they look like they are going to take twice as long before they become free....er if they become free.

Any ideas on how to bypass a tempermental firewall? Cause it's been 2 months since I've played halo 3 cause of the updates I can't download.

And I have vista so son't say that I should use the laptop to bypass it cause it is difficult

My mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didnt understand life.

"Don't get too mad at us for -blam!- things up"

Those are those invisible wall type things. They probably won't let you jump that high, but will let grenades and other explosives to go high.

Maybe because it's high quality. Just a guess. Maybe next time they should put out a warning about the filesize of high quality vi...oh wait.

War...
The root of all anger;
The thirst for power fueled by that overwhelming sense of incurable greed.

Could we have some .torrent love next time please? These speeds are incredibly slow...

Thanks in advance!

Wow, just more and more to the maps comes along the way. Looks pretty sweet Bungie, keep up the good work.

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

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

Way better than the last video you guys did. Impressive and enjoyable.

It's only a handful of days away but it was nice to get inside the maps early.

I noticed you didn't say which Archipelago Blackout was in this time. LOL

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.

that is by far the best vid ever. Good job!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

There's no such thing as too many grenades.

Cool new style of video. There was some awesome background rock music too.
Was it from Halo at all?
