Subject: Missed one!

I feel the Anniversary map pack was missing one map... one that stands out... one that several seasons of a certain Red Team, a certain Blue Team, a badass Freelancer and a talking tank basically lived on.

That map: Blood Gulch.

I'm not talking about Hemorrhage. I'm talking about that red-orangish sand, the two small outposts on each side, sveral sniping positions...

I'm talking about a place called Blood Gulch.

I felt it should have made a return along with the Anniversary Map Pack just like it was in Halo: CE.

Blood Gulch and all it's remakes, excluding the spiritual successor Valhalla, Suck huge dick.

Why have the same map remade twice in one game? Even if Hemorrhage is not the purest remake that is what the map is. I would far rather see Standoff remade anyhow.

For the last time, having two of the same map would be redundant. If you want to play Blood Gulch, play Halo C.E.

Hemorrhage isn't a "remake" of Blood Gulch. It's -blam!-. Like if a giant pile of -blam!- ate Rebecca Black, and -blam!- out Kanye.

It's a hell of a lot better than Blood Gulch.

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

I really don't understand the love for Blood Gulch. I mean, I honestly think it's just because it was one of the 2 maps in Halo CE that was big enough to support vehicles.

Honestly, I think most people are just being sheep saying they want Blood Gulch back. I mean, Hell, it's been in EVERY Halo game in one fashion or another, excluding Halo 3.

[EDIT]
I Agree also, I'd prefer Standoff over Blood Gulch/Hemorrhage/Coagulation any day.

It is a remake of Blood Gulch, whether you like it or not.

Spiritual SUCCESSOR.

Again, I hope you're joking.

Valhalla didn't play like Blood Gulch at ALL, I see no resemblances between the two. Valhalla is what the community decided to be this "spiritual successor" because they were so butt hurt over not getting Blood gulch.

I don't recall Blood gulch having a cannon that shot me half way across the map, like I said, Valhalla played NOTHING like Blood Gulch, Valhalla was actually fun to play.

Standoff is the best BTB map in any Halo game. In my opinion anyway. There are a ton of BTB players that love this map.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

This is the most creative post I've ever seen, bar none.

But yeah, Blood Gulch sucked, and they just keep remaking it, over and over again.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

I'd rather see a Sidewinder remake, seeing what AOTCR looks like on CEA, I think that Sidewinder would look beautiful.
