:)

I was thinking the same thing.
They remind me of the guardians from the Never Ending Story.
;)

Great stuff.

Fire up Halo 3, take some campaign shots of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers in action, upload them to your file share, and add two tags to them for identification, "ODST" and "Mythic." Come Monday morning, we'll check back in and see what kind of damage you've done.
Can't wait to inflict the damage ;D Great update, a ton of info. A little sad that there was no V-day coverage, but there was a horde of info already, so I'm not complaining. =D

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Thanks for the news, I don't think I've ever been more excited for a particular map pack.

Haven't played it in SO long.

Haha

Nice update, I always appreciate funtastic images. Those perimeter defenses on Sandbox make me a little sad. One of my favorite things during the Halo 3 Beta was to play around on the outskirts of Snowbound, but the perimeter turrets got a massive upgrade for release, and it was much less fun. Playing around in the minefield on Sandtrap is also a lot of fun, and those watch towers on Sandbox just don't seem like they would be as much fun to skirt death with. We shall see I guess...

Lasers of Death! Sweet new guardians.

Only 10 days,4 hours, 32 minutes and roughly 30 seconds until midnight March 3rd here on the East Coast.

So you've tracked me down...

Be sure to check out my Youtube profile for all of my videos.

Is it just me or is the budget for Assembly not as large as other Halo 3 maps?

Does this mean that there is less emphasis with the Forge mode on this map?

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Thank you for the Never Ending Story reference, I now know what to watch through Netlix tonight!

Er, that is, after I'm done playing Halo of course...

Man, I'm pretty excited about the MMP. I'm glad they're making things innovative still even after a year and a half of it being released. Sandbox has the sky bubble AND the crypt...so that's pretty much fulfilling new and exciting.

I'm interested to see how different the security on Sandbox will differ from Snowbound, though. In Snowbound if you got free on the hill you know you could take a couple shots and still make it back in alive. This kind of looks like a spartan laser one hit kill...thing.

Nice update, halo 3 campaign here I come!

luke you're just too quick, it's almost as if you know the updates are being posted. :)

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

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

Can the Perimeter defense Towers shoot through the building blocks?

ODST here I come.

Maybe if I'm lucky, I can give away a code in a 2old2play contest, since I'm getting Halo Wars LCE anyways.
