Subject: Seven Empty Heatmap Slots.

LW45 TS40 TO40 TSW35 TSN35 TT30 SB30 MLG25

A long time ago, for a period of about an hour, the Global Heatmaps page was updated with seven empty tabs. Now, does anybody know if this happened before or after the release of Cold Storage? If before, we can account for the seven empty slots.

But if after, as I suspect, could it be that there is still one more map in the works?

If thats true it would probably be free. If there is a map I'm guessing it may be released when the Reach Beta ends.

Or secretly come with ODST.

But I wouldn't hold my breath for another map. Could just as well be a tab for Firefight or something.

Aye, I'm not holding my breath. More likely a glitch than a new map. Still, I'm not ruling it out...

I would be so happy if Bungie secretly threw a Blood Gulch remake into Halo 3: Mythic. I know they won't, but it would be nice...

That was the very first thought that popped into my head too. I just didn't post it. But you're absolutely right, it would be fantastic.

Which is exactly why I'm not holding my breath for another map.

Probably Cold Storage and the other 6 which are Assembly,Orbital and Sandbox and the others being Heretic, Citadel and Longshore.

It's likely they could be putting Blood Gulch in Halo 3 now, since Halo 2 is shutting down, we have no way to play it online bar the PC. It would make a lot of sense to include BG with Halo: Mythic, and they've certainly got enough time to make it, ODST was finished back in May.

It might just be them preparing for the firefight maps.

Halo 2 is not shutting down....

The only rumour related to that is saying that ODST only has 100 friends or something stupid like that.

Provide me a legit source and I will believe you.

Actually, Blood Gulch was the first thing that popped into my head too.

I mean, think about it:

There isn't a single large vehicular map in the MMP. This could be because Blood Gulch was in the works and Bungie felt that two was too many.

It is perhaps the most popular (and definately the most famous) map in Halo history; how could they deny so many people such a great map?

A man can dream...

Why would they remake BG any more? They've remade it enough. Vahalla and Standoff are both remakes. BG was a boring and stale map.

It was way after Cold Storage was release, 6 of them were the mythic mpas, but what could the other one be?

Yeah, I remember thinking about Longshore and Citadel at the time of the mysterious Heatmap tabs; and we only knew those names after PAX 08.

Hardly my friend, those were more like spiritual successors then remakes. Heretic is a remake blackout is a remake there is no Bloodgulch remake.

Hah, I was looking for that thread to link in my previous post! Couldn't find it though, so had to settle with '1000s of guys'.

Actually I proved you wrong with facts. Many facts. You're the one who seems to be making only a false statement with no support while there is plenty of support that defies your claim.

Vahalla is a more balanced version of what Blood Gulch was all about. But instead of getting sniped from across the map as soon as you spawn like in BG, you get a chance to fight. And the hill that makes that possible also makes for a position to fight for, causing less base camping. There was nothing to fight for in BG. It was a good map in Halo 1, but there are better now.
