The map looks great. I can't wait to see the other maps.

Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death. -Psalm 22:12-15

Does that still apply to things in orbit? I mean, the station itself isn't falling directly toward the planet. It'd make for a pretty poor satellite if that was the case. Maybe any Spartans that fall off Anchor 9 are doomed to loop the planet as space debris?


You are right, this doesn't make any sense. I guess suspension of disbelief will have to do.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

You can only truly know a map if you've played on it.

This map looks great, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't bring The Pit back.

I play for fun!!! Be sure and watch our videos youtube/steph70z28 and youtube/mrwaterfalls

Does the low gravity in space effect the way grenades travel? Techinically they shouldn't follow a parabola at all, which is what I saw in the video.

Loved the commentary and the map looks amazing. One thing I'm wondering though. On a long distance scale the rocket actually drops below the reticle. Is that lessened in the low gravity portion of this map or is it even large enough to be able to tell?

404 error please try again later.

look right and feel right thats what she said.

Death by figure skater.

The inmates are running the Bungie asylum.

I hope they hire some real playtesters to test out the maps. Not these thumbless Philistines.

The Pit was fun? For a Halo3 map. The bar was set pretty low for Halo 3 maps. And that was this map's inspiration? Good lord. PROTIP: When looking for map inspiration, skip the chapter called Halo3.

Thanks for that fountain of optimism there OksanaBayul. It just goes to show that arming yourself with a thesaurus and a supercilious attitude instantly makes you a lovable authority on all that you survey.

Regardless, the map looks fantastic guys and it really seems well thought-out to fill a niche in the current Reach hopper.

I also found the commentary brilliant. It's great to hear that the creators of our games are having fun. It's what we're here for! =D

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

Cool. Can't wait to get some more 4v4 and Invasion action.

There is a monster inside all of us.

Does anyone know what helmet the dude has on the cover image for this?

  • 11.23.2010 7:37 PM PDT

Cant wait for these maps. I still think tempest is going to be my favorite!

  • 11.23.2010 8:06 PM PDT

Epic commentary, and a pit-sized map sounds like a nice change of pace compared to all the large maps of Reach

  • 11.23.2010 8:06 PM PDT

The maps look great, can't wait to try them out.

Наемник для наема

Alright here again to put my voice in as a competitive gamer. I like the way Anchor 9 looks Bungie, and thumbs up on it being symmetrical.

The only problem I have is it still is not the map that the competitive community is looking for. First off Zero G I get how it applies, but look at the MLG version of Zealot the first thing they did was block off the zero G cause it doesn't fit with tournament play. The other thing is when did Zero G become such a hit thing considering you could edit the gametype in Halo 3, and get the same effect.

The other issue I have with the map is the big open spaces multiple floor feel that a lot of your reach maps have. Look at the pit in Halo 3 it has open space, but cover is well placed the space is just right. In anchor 9 it looks like you took a big space, and built a map around it and called it done.

Nice looking map Bungie I am sure your community will enjoy it, and I will enjoy it when the guys are over and we have had a few beers, but it still does not solve the lack of competitive tournament maps that reach failed to produce. It looks like we will still be waiting for MLG's community forgers to fill the void.
