There is a ladder on Headlong. You forgot to mention that one. As for the Butterlies, they remind me of this.

i am super confused about the butterflies....

so, when a covie dies, butterflies comes out of theM? that would suck! and i like the idea of dead bodies and used weapons staying... makes it more realistic

as for Jub Jub, i believe maybe its a jungle map, like Endor on star wars (where thoses little bears that say Jub Jub live)

*shakes head* read the update again, properly. This is just some thing that one of the programmers put in as a joke really. As Frankie said, it took about a minute to implement. So, it would take a similarly short amount of time to take it out.

Just testing and trialing. I remember when they were developing Halo 1 that they designed a whole creature that they might use to come and carve up dead bodies and fly them away. This is a similar sort of thing. Except they really don't expect it to be in the final game.

You know, i could actualy see jub-jub being the final name for a map. Doesn't sound over the top.

Frankie, you get the "High Road to Revenge" Tagline award for excellence of ballerocity for making that delightful Family Guy reference in the opening paragraph.

  • 06.24.2006 7:23 AM PDT

Thanks for 3 great Halo games Bungie.

There is also a ladder in headlong. (On the yellow wall/gate thing)

Yeah, if you climb it you can ballerize your opponents with the utmost amount of ballerocity before they get a bead on what's ballin'.


Okay...Too many "ball" references.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

I dont believe he said lockout was coming back he said a map witha feel of lockout was in but he aslo said it looks and feels very different

  • 06.24.2006 9:21 AM PDT

Lockout has to come back in some form. It's far and away the most popular map.

Turkey rules.

"Our Arrows will Blot out the sun." "Then we will fight in the shade"
This is my favorite line from 300 THAT MOVIE RULEZ ALL

Cool....Living 5 minutes from the Convention center and all, i just may have to take a peek.

"Lars also let us try out a new map Sketch and I like to call "Jub-Jub," much to Mr. Bakken's discontent. And it's my favorite new small map. An instant classic like Lockout and on roughly the same scale, with similar pacing and feel, although it looks very, very different."

First off he said "It looks very very different." That should tell everyone its not lockout. Its probably not snowy and based around 3 towers. I mean to me lockout is somewhat reminesicent of chilly from H:CE. But of course the two really arent all that alike.

Anyways as for this "An instant classic like Lockout and on roughly the same scale, with similar pacing and feel

Im kinda worried about this... Do you guys at Bungie remember in Halo:CE when Blood Gulch was the favorite and when sidewinder was also well liked. The big maps were some of the most fun maps in the game. Now in H2 the 6v6, and BTB lists are the least played. And really if you combined them all your big maps would be getting like 6% of the total plays in your game. Im just wondering why you guys think that the bigger maps in H2 are much less liked than the ones in H:CE? Especially when several of them are much like the ones before. In particular why was BG a better map than coag? Im pretty sure I have the answer but I really want to see what someone from bungie thinks.

If someone from bungie replies then I'll explain why this quote of "similiar pacing and feel" bothers me.

Also the name "Jub Jub" is not even a good nickname much less a good final name... so I hope you guys arent considering that.

It sounds like something pulled from a star wars movie.

Driven to distraction. ^_^

Cool update. Glad to see the vague little details making a return :)

As for Jub-Jub... Any level with as many routes through it as Lockout has gotta be good imho.
