Wow, just wow!

I was looking through the Halo website, and stumbled across this article. link

Near the end, when talking about the maps included with Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, Frankie hints at Death Island by mentioning a map that is "both famous and awesome, has never been seen on a console before. I'm sure you've figured it out by now." (about 14 paragraphs down)

This last comment screams Death Island to me. It is both famous and awesome and has never seen a console.

Thoughts?

I think Death Island is featured in the trailer.

Around when the Warthog goes over the mound near the end of the Multiplayer part.

Definitely Death island. However many of the PC maps i found were great and seemed to be bigger focused....

I'm more interested in this new FF map apparently its meant to be something amazing and nothing like it has been done in a FF map before?

Death Island is the big famous one that we all want on xbox live, so it makes sense. I wonder what they will call it instead, it will be something similar but different.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Death Island, Timberland or Ice fields, I would like any one of those.

Ice Fields was awesome imo. I think I prefer it over the other two i mentioned.

that is if its indeed death island.

Kinda figured it was Timberland the first time I saw the trailer. I mean, look at all those trees! And the river running through the middle is another obvious one.

Timberland was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that part of the trailer. As for the firefight map, I'm hoping it will be a flood themed one.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

That would be the greatest addition ever.

It's not Timberland. You would fall off the bridges whereas in Timberland there were hills you could drive to.

I'm kind of hoping it will be either the PoA's engine room (which has a very solid FF style lay out already), or the swamp from 343 Guilty Spark.

As to what they can do that has never been done in a FF game? Hmm...maybe unlocking different areas after an X amount of waves? Kind of like Zombies from that "other" game, but something that really wouldn't hurt....

Also: what has never been done in FF?

Flood...

Because ODST and Reach didn't include Flood models....CEA obviously will include Flood models. So the step to FloodFight seems a logical and save bet.

I don't remember ANY PC, or console map being that heavily forested...
