Assembly looks awesome, hopefully they'll release some hi-res videos of it. I'm getting sick of all the low quality ones on youtube.

If a moderator would kindly change my name to "JohnKiller118," words cannot describe my thanks.

Assembly reminds me of the awesome and epic Halo 2 maps! Thank you Bungie for sticking with what worked with you before. I already love this map!

Gtacrazy815 you have to go to the PAX and chill at their booth until they announce the RECON challenge and hope your at the front of the line. That's what me and my buddy T3h PedoBear did and we beat them on the new map.

Pretty coolz, possibly a Hunter armor filling station. Looks like the bridge area of "Cortana" before it got infected.

I'm here, I change, and sometimes I stay the same for years.
What am I?

So much prize giving away. Oh how I wish I could go.

Hmm this looks decent. Off course, the details and the shiny walls are really beautiful just like Avalanche's Mancannons, but that doesn't mean this map has a great gameplay/feel to it. Don't start flaming me, I'm just saying that I rather wait instead of being all hyped about it.

The last weeks update is still a bummer for me, but I pretty much calmed down lol (still I disagree with the playlist changes). I couldn't care less about the AI bots, but thats just me. I still have some hope for the major changes H3 is going to have on the 16th of September (I hope: fixing the bullet registrations/double reloading glitch/random hits of BR/having more forge options/having more costum options) so I'll just wait and see (probarly download lol).

I so agree that they have to fix the flaws in the reloading system and the headshot registration. I have it when I have a triple, reload, and the double reload glitch happens, killing me!

Anyway, I'm glad we're getting another Covenant map and Assembly looks like a fusion of Midship and Gemini (original idea huh?). Can't wait to have more info about the AU2, playlist update and the upcoming map pack. Bring on the UPDATES!

Like Halo 2. Like Halo 3 even better. I prefer a good match with not much trash talking and I'm laid back and easy going.

Lukems,

When would you guess the map will come out? Will it be within the next couple of weeks or months? Also would this map pack have other maps and if so any possibility of screen-shots for those maps? Rumors say a Moon-base setting is in development and rumors are circulating of a possible 3rd and 4th map any chance off shedding some light on those. Also any chance that Legendary would go free because of the new maps? (Heroic went free around Legendary arrival.) What are your goals for the Forge on these maps? Will there be more objects and greater weapon and vehicle opportunity?

Personally what college would you suggest for the art or design job opportunities? Is there a trades school you would also suggest? Do you have a set schedule or is it by weekly basis.

Sorry for the long list of questions but a few friends, some of the community, and I have asked these repeatedly to each other (Like that helps us...) so any chance of some of these being answered and if not, why?

Thank you for your time in reading this, hope Halo Wars is just as much success as Halo series and thank you again for everything.

Ugh, tricky tricky Lukems.

Hey! I play around a lot with screenshots. Feel free to take a look!

I always enjoy a run through Rat's Nest, Blackout, or any other nicely crafted Earth-based map. But finally, a solid Covenant stage I can enjoy. I bet it's going to be popular for Covenant/Elite machinimas.

bungie is full of some -blam!- as -blam!-'s
if i was in control of halo it would be sick a -blam!-
its not like their gunna make another halo and they said that they're done with halo 3 so
whats next?
the only fun way to play halo is on xbox live
a bet halo would sell more copies with bots added to the game
there's some people who can't afford xbox live and love halo but they don wanna buy it cause it gets borin to fast

bungie man up and fix the -blam!- game
Add bots
better maps

Dude honestly bots are for n00bs who get owned on live and cant hack it and whoever has a 360 and not xbox live really needs to get in the 21st century. honestly, how can anyone who has a 360 not afford xbox live.
i think the fact that it gets borin fast can be applied to any single player game. i really doubt anyone could play any single player game everyday and not get bored. the fact it has multiplayer is to add longetivity. besides i doubt bungie are that bothered about the small minority that dont want to buy it due to not having xbox live.
maps on the other hand i slightly agree on but that is entirely opinionated. i enjoy the majority of the maps but h2 had more epic ones. at least we have mythic map pack to look forward to.

p.s assembly looks epic. i hope it plays as well as it looks. could be a new fan fav.

It's awesome hanging out with you guys! I'm trying to send someone a text message to relay to Recon Number 54, then maybe to Shishka. :p

I played on the new map and it's AMAZING! I think people are really gonna like it!
