I would like a remake of Blood Gulch in Halo Reach. I usually prefer original maps over remakes of old ones, but I can tell Blood Gulch would be a fun map in Big Team. Forging on Blood Gulch would also let you place a lot of the different vehicles, and that would be good for huge epic battles in machinimas.

Plasmalab, a great map for Neutral CTF or Slayer. Download it and have fun. Version 1.1 now available.

They should remake it, but only if they combine it along with some of the characteristics of the Coagulation remake such as having the Halo CE map size but have the Halo 2 base architecture.

Also It would be nice if they made a Valhalla variant alongside to show that it has very few similarities to BG, because BG's dip in the middle of the map =/= Valhalla's mountain in the middle of the map.

EDIT: Plus the map cannot contain any new weapon introduced in Halo 3 such as the Splazer to keep the weapon/vehicle balance of the map, well, balanced.

But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern. Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are destiny.

I say yes, but has it ever occur ed to anyone that Valhalla is basically a remake of blood gulch? They just replaced teleporters with mancannons, and took away the tanks for the most part.


Valhalla is nothing like Blood Gulch save for the same basic shape and size..

Blood Gulch is vast an open with a few cliffs for some effective sniping and less clutter for better vehicle encounters.

Valhalla is much more cluttered and the side cliffs are not present, and there are few good sniping areas, and they are much more prone to attack.

And seriously, Mancannons are a terrible concept.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Valhalla is EXTREMELY different from Blood Gulch, MUCH smaller too.

it's a spiritual successor... it has the basic layout nothing else.

Yes I want it back! maybe slightly larger caves (cave with water from coagulation) some more trees and rocks are welcome too. and add a small structere with a banshee somewhere behind the base. keep the base as it was in BG from halo ce.

no splaser or missilepods, only rockets :P

Indeed. With both the reimaginings they only tried to capture a small piece of blood gultch experience while keeping things balanced and new.

For example, Vahalla is in a canyon, has two bases, the banshees, the anti-vehicle weapon in the center, the bases, the mechanics for getting out to the side (mancannons), and has some caves, though not to the scope that Blood Gultch did.

Standoff on the other hand tried to capture the openess of blood gultch while still trying to make infantry combat possible. Hence the rocks. Again, power weapon in the center, bases on both sides (lacking the openess of the blood gultch bases however), no caves, but captures the feeling of the popping over the hill, firing off shots, going back, and a shrunk down portion of the vehicle combat.

The best thing they can do methinks is bring back Coag, and maybe add some more complexity to the caves, and another smaller cave behind the Rock Slide. Then it would feel the same, but still be fresh and new-ish. Coag was NEVER turned down, from the start everyone was like "This is like a slightly better Blood Gulch" And it was.

Yes, plz.

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

how about like Halo CE but the teleporters sends you to be fired out of a mancannon to where the teleporter normally would have taken you

Fact 2: European guys are hotter

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

And made a huge hill, and completely changed the theme, and added a huge man cannon, and added loads of width to the map, and changed geometery to a great degree, and basically everything except the two base concept.

I would like to see Coagulation/Blood Gulch return Halo: Reach. I liked both the Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 versions.

But am I the only one who realizes that familiar Halo multiplayer matchmaking may not return in this game. I wouldn't be surprised to see traditional matchmaking come back since most of the Halo games have it, and the Marathon games pretty much had it too. But Bungie hasn't really said what Halo: Reach is yet, and Halo 3: ODST doesn't have a traditional matchmaking, which may mean that Halo: Reach will be the same way. I get the feeling that Bungie may try something a little different this time around.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

No, Blood Gulch is way too open and has no cover. It would suck for matchmaking.
