Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

Teleport 3 going to the wrong spot? I think you guys put it on the wrong round hallway.

Also, isn't the needler on the other side of the broken platform, where the teleporter receiver should be as well?

Ok WTF. And I'm somewhat upset that there's no pictures of Cold Storage. 7/7 better not release Cold Storage. I'm serious. I won't have my 360 that day :-(

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

the updates always make me want to play more.

Bring Back Headlong!
Best Halo 2 Map Ever!

I actully think this could be true!
Hmm cold storage out on bungie day for free for 48 hours, and will be playable in dlc slayer, head to head and swat.
that would be an awsome bungie day!
but if it is only 48 hours its not good news for my friend who is on holiay! lol

  • 06.27.2008 5:00 PM PDT

Cool maps. I never played chillout much but it looks like I'll be completely lost on Cold Storage. And of course I can't wait for the Head2SWatDLSLAj3r playlist!

Get rid of rocket race please. If anybody wants to do racing crap, then they can go play mario kart or grand theft auto, Ridiculous. You guys should bring back social doubles in place of rocket race because doubles is fun when it's less competitive. Also, make more living dead double XP. Griftball is frustrating and it's not even fun; not only that, it's on the same map! Finally, make maps that are not based off old halo maps. Use a little imagination once in awhile. it's not that hard, I know you guys can do it.

How come cold storage only has two duel wieldable weapons and they're all PRs?

They're in different rooms too!

Whos gonna drop a good weapon to pick up one PR then run to another room for the other. FAIL

Nice to see heavies increased though.

When Bungie makes new maps, we get crap like Epitaph and Construct. Do we really want more of that?

Bugs in halo reach final game as of 9/2/10

in forge i am trying to make gametypes objectives but all i see is hill markers and flag points. If im trying to make a ctf game variant and i use the capture point and the flag stand and go into custom games. There is always a error saying "map not compatible with gametype" This is not just with ctf but with most other custom game and map variants.
EDIT: this was just a understanding issue that was cleared post-game release

nice update and right on time to.
;nice job

Looks to me like Cold Storage is going to be pretty darn awesome. I like dark levels, especially when I'm on the blue team. lol. Cant wait for the other map reveals!

Real men invert.

I've been loving H2H, and I really like the sound of the changes. That 45 seconds is going to be great for getting re-equipped when your opponent has the SR. (I can think of at least one game where my formerly sizeable lead has been eroded by someone using the waypoint as a big neon sign saying 'shoot here to win'.)

Not sure about the reduction in kills though... I guess this does mean that it's possible to reach the kill limit before the end, so not every match lasts the full 12 minutes, but it also means it's impossible to get a H2H-based Perfection. I'll give the changes a try, but for now I think it should stay 15.

Keep up the good work guys.

Nice update.

Hammers and Swords should be fun and more heavies =). 7/7 I want sexy Gamerpics and My theme is getting old so that should be awesome.

Bungie = win.

i love the new map and it looks interesting, although the rockets and the sniper seems to be to over powering for a map of that size.

Not to mention the fact that after grabbing the rockets you have the choice to also pick up bubble shield and overshield! In turn providing a Sniper Rifle, Active Camo, and a power drain to a player on the other side. Now lets say the sniper goes through teleporter <2>, he will either catch the rockets with the over sheild, or get blow to peices by camping rockets. Either way The Oversheild >> Active camo seems like an odd placement.

But, these are just ideas, giving the fact that i do not know the map in the sence that... can you get bubble sheild, then jump to rockets? is over sheild inside of a hidden "lower" room connected to the flood room.

Either way everything i have stated above does not matter because of the fact that we o not know sthe spawn points of the map. If i could suggest anything to help us is please place the starting spawn points of the map in the picture.

I would love you know where each team spawns to i can correctly evaluate the gameplay of the map. If each team were to spawn in the opposite purple rooms they would begin by throwing nades at eachother < if possible> then its a fight for the death of oversheild which will probably be taken by the guy with rockets. Then the sniper is over powered, and will be tacken by the team with rockets>oversheild.

From wat i can see this map is a fight for the death for Oversheild>>Rockets.


This will be interesting how this map tuns out =D
(in serious about placing starting spawn points though)

-Good job Bungie =]
