They call the plays were marty works at bungie ivory tower.
They called the map after the place, not the other way around.
This has nothing to do with an ivory tower remake.

[Insert something funny]

Can be, would be sweet thought.

I believe "The Ivory Tower" is a nickname for Marty's stomping grounds, his lair if you will. I remember hearing it in the past when they were talking about him during the development of Halo 3.

Which map was Ivory towers anyways? I've forgotten.

I also noticed that they mentioned Buck and Cortana.

But, couldn't you think that Bungie is sending us secret intel on it? I find their news a bit strange, they like to do this sort of stuff.

In the articel under trivia:
# Ivory Towers is the name of Marty O'Donnell's sound studio.

I'm reading it over, now I have some doubt about the Ivory Tower part, but I think we will see or hear about Cortana and Buck in Halo: Reach, if you read further down. I'd rather seem a level like Turf back instead of Ivory Tower, but I didn't hate Ivory Tower either.

Oh yeah, now I remember. First Halo 2 map I ever played on. Back before I owned any Halos and before I was good at FPS. I killed one guy at the party I was at because I camped with the sword. I loled. Then got killed because I wasn't smart enough to mover from my hidey spot.

Marine Corps.
Semper Fi.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Ivory Tower is Marty's office. Sheesh.

"Were it so easy?"

I cant see them making any of the maps from 1 2 or 3 since 'The Fall of Reach' is before the Halo's are discovered, and all the maps up to now are mostly based on Earth, Halo, and the Ark. So in all reality, the maps from the previous games wouldnt make a whole lot of sense in Halo Reach. But....Im not Bungie so I dont know for sure :D.

Settings for maps can be changed. Cold Storage for example.

They seem to be more into reimaginings and new maps though. People are never happy with remakes so they don't deserve em.

it means he was talking to their voice actors

RED BRICK STUDIOS!

I think that Lockout to Blackout might be a better example.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Ivory Tower was actually the top of a futuristic Trump tower, very prestigious.
It may be a hint, though.

I wish I was still legendary.

Ivory Tower is the nickname for Marty's upstairs recording studio. Whilst there could be a remake in the works, I don't see the point - it wasn't really the best map.

I was more interested in the part where it said stosh was working on new things, since he's a website designer. If he's working on the Reach update this early it must be pretty substantial.

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

I think Ivory Tower is going to be back in Halo: Reach


Quit spying on me pervert.

I'd like it if Blood Gulch made a re-appearance first, or some other really amazing Halo map from the series.
