Hey guys, my first post in the Library. Well, I never owned Halo CE. As a matter of fact, I didn't get xbox till Halo 2 had come out, and also another fact, I was saying to my friends who had Halo "What kind of stupid name for a game is that?". THen, when I finally borrowed it from my friend and beat it, I was ADDICTED! But one thing, I never played multiplayer often. So I have a question.

How big is Sidewinder? My friend said it's bigger then Blood Gulch/Coagulation. Is that true?

Its nearly bigger than containment, Containment is actually the remake of Sidewinder.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Side Winder

Instead of being 2 bases directy across from one another

There was a curve to the map that put the bases out of sight frome one another.

The bases themselves are quite large, but not for vehicles like containemnt.


The outside has huge flat topped hills, trees, and a good amouunt of the map is covered in ice making driving the hog a very interesteing event.

It was an asome map that was so big that you needed more then 4 people to trully enjoy it.

Not always true, Scorpion showdowns were quite intense!

Indubidubly. Banana.

Sidewinder has got to be the biggest map ever. It was also the most fun map to play on because it was big and Objectives were a blast! Sidewinder CTF...Could last for a long time.

Um... no Containment is quite a bit bigger, and Containment isn't the remake of Sidewinder. Containment is only another big snow level.

Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

sidewinder was definately the biggest map in the 1st game. every time that we plaid ctf there we would be looking at 3-4 hour games, and were just playing to 5. you can have some seriously epic battles there, or really prove you sneaking skills.

my all time favorite sidewinder 8v8 flag grab: the red team got the bright idea of stacking vehicles on the flag to make it more difficult to get in and out. i was invisible, crouch-walked up to the openning of the base, threw in 4 frags. instant killtacular, walked in grabbed the flag, flipped the ghost and took it out the front door running over two people on the respawn, dodging both tanks and a sniper back to the base, onlt to get betrayed by a teammate right outside of our door! damn funny.

I heard the true inspiration for containment was a halo PC map named woodland (idk name) and I think it is based on what I have seen in PC (yes I own both versions I tried both out) And yes Sidewinder was by far the largest maps of halo 1 and I would suggest playing it. I found it more entertaining than containment as the bend gave it such definition. Also the ice slides really made for some interesting slide outs that could throw off an invasion.

I really thought about how bungie could remake it when they announced they would be remaking some old classics. I tried playing it out in my head a few times but in the end it seemed they never made it. Continment might be a bit bigger (mostly sure that it is height wise to accomidate banshees) but with that definitive bend it really allows to seperate battlefields. Many of our lan games featured multiple fronts on this map invlovling crazy tank battles on the outside and a full out ground assault through the center walkways

Bungie said:

Coagulation is a remake of Blood Gulch.

Baeaver creek is a remake of Battle Creek.

Warlock is a remake of Wizard.

Elongation is a remake of Longest.

They did not say:

Containment is a remake of Sidewinder.

They did say its bigger than Sidewinder, which was the biggest map.

They both are snowy Doesnt make them the same! Sanctuary isnt a remake of blood gulch cause it has grass and sand!

Sidewinder is really big, so big if you fire a rocket from the blue base then go through the 2 teleporters to the outside ledge in the middle you can have your own rocket hit you in the face. It's neat to try.
