It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Easy and fun to defend bases
Sniper has a nice little nest.
Tunnels get to other base quickly. (without being sniped like Blood Gulch)

It might be cool for you people who just love to play capture the Flag on Big Team Battle, but honestly, Sidewinder is just going to be way to big. It's twice the size of Coagulation. Personally i don't like having to run across the map when the vehicles are gone and there isn't a sniper rifle. I guess I am bias when it comes to this question because i woud rather play a good team slayer than capture the flag. And when it comes to Team Slayer on Coagulation I often wind up waiting untill the time runs out before either team gets 50 kills. And the Team slayer Game often winds up being capture the rifle and rocket. I guess to each his own, but another big level is not what Halo 2 needs. Just another place for me to get standbyed on CTF, and since only the people on Big Team Battle are going to use it that leaves a lot of people out.

Standby should be resolved when the new maps are out.

Actually Fatso, Bungie anounced that the patch fixing all of the glitches and cheats would be coming out AFTER the DLC patch. Also Bungie said that they can't totally eliminate the standby cheat, the patch will just make it sort of a disadvantage to cheat using the pause or hold button on your modem, but you still might be able to use it.

I dont really like Sidewinder. I am more attracted to the smaller maps. BG and Sidewinder werent much fun to me. I enjoy HEH, Prisoner, Chillout, and Damnation.

Sidewinder is awsome.

You could make so many halo movies on it, its a great battleing map, its tunnels make it easy to sneak into the other base area, the ice in the middle makes for challenging hog fight,(can you imagine derby, or hog wars on that map?!)the onlything i didnt like about it was the name.....and that the snow didnt collect on the ground.....

As far as downloadable content for Halo 2 goes, I would much rather see new maps than a remake of Sidewinder.

Sidewinder is a decent map. It certainly isn't head and shoulders above the other Halo 1 multiplayer maps, especially with less than 8 or 10 players. While oddball is a waste of time on Sidewinder, games like race and KOTH add new depth to the map. (Try a 50 lap race on Sidewinder sometime.)
