There's also some very nicely finished trees in one of my favorite mid-sized levels, complete with the now obligatory tree animation. It's one of those levels where you look around and say, "Hey, this would be a nice spot to picnic," but then somebody blasts you from a Banshee. It's also one of the favorite levels for one of our new gametypes, thanks to its obvious defensible positions and creepy, narrow hallways.....

Sounds like a very good map.... Also, the gametype sounds like ZOMBIES!!!!

Thanks for all the hints to some of the new maps; they sound pretty sweet. The tree animations are also an awesome, aesthetical, added bonus.

dude, lockout is small and wintery with snow falling. How the sunset and dimming effect and lighting effects that Frankie spoke about leads you to think it is lockout is beyond me. and besides, he called it a "classic" therefore in my prediction which = "opinion" It must be a map from the Classic or original Halo : Combat Evolved. I don't believe Halo 2 has any "Classic Maps"........... Oh wait it does have 1........... it is called "Coagulation" and that is a "Classic Map" from Halo: Combat Evolved Called " Blood Gulch ". Hopefully this time around for Halo 3, I vote they call it "Bloodier Gulch" ... that would be cool!
Whos with me?

But like I said, that's my guess. maybe it could be lockout..........?

We lost our way and then the Lord sent frankie to guide us back to the sweet sticky goodness which is Halo3.

I see alot of this confusion in many of the posts.

I believe the game type that frankie is talking about is entirely different from the "Classic Map" that he has described. Sounds like a Bungie flipflop to me to confuse some of us in guessing what will become of his statements. Yes, the Gametype sounds like "Zombies" however, Zombies would not fit into the play structure of the New "Classic Map" he describes. Do you picnic on Zombies? I don't think so. be carefull fellas. Read what Frankie is writing and not what he appears to be writing. Bungie and Frankie are infamous of this. Don't confuse the gametype in conjunction with the " classic map". This is only some logical advice to spontaneous posting and the people who actually don't really read the updates.

It's time for. . . the Halo theme song. Don da da don don. . . maybe later.
Total coolness can't wait to hear about the movie.
It's a good thing information is coming slowly or my brain would go on over kill.
All that information at once would just fry my inner structure. With all the high tech that is going to be in Halo3 and super dooper soldiers and the weapons and lets not forget about the enemies. I bet theres so much coolness coming that it will give some one a brain attack. Ahh! just can't wait but thats what we must do in order to receave all the brain blasting that we must get.
I don't get the tree thing just um. . . yea. . . don't know what the big news was on that. I wonder if will see some animals in the game like some real futuristic like stuff. Anyway just can't wait and real good read that was.

I have a feeling the multiplayer map with the sunset is going to be Zanzibar. It probably will, it's a good map.

"What shall we say then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? May it never be! You died to sin, why live in it any longer?" Excerpt from Romans 6

Frankie,

The following linked article was written by John C. Dvorak, detailing how 'posers' and 'pranks' have ruined many online communities. I bring it up because of how my Halo 2 online experiences have significantly persuaded me not to play online multiplayer games of Halo 2 for the forseeable future (which is a stupid phrase 'forseeable future' but I think you get the point). It is very rare for me to play against guys that are not constantly yelling or screaming obscenities into their headsets just for the sake of being annoying. I'd gladly mute them but you can't do that during an actual game. It is too easy to get an account on Xbox Live and it is too difficult to stop behavior of this type from happening through the Live feedback system. I hope to see a viable solutions someday, and a Bungie-governed community would be great for starters. On sites like Digg.com a member can report 'trolls' or 'flamers' and those articles or comments are demoted. This has an actual effect on whether or not the negative contributions are seen or heard. I think the ability to speak through the Xbox communicator is a privalege and it should be temporarily removed or something when the option is abused. I am aware of what I risk exposing myself to when stepping out into an online community but I have had plenty of better experiences than this. I also don't believe that Xbox Live members should be paying for a service that results in constant verbal assaults. It's a shame that one of the most enjoyable aspects of Halo has been turned into a place where a leisurely gamer cannot hope to have an enjoyable time without having to deal with people who seem to get pleasure out of being annoying. Thanks.

Just last week I was chatting with some guys from WetaDigital. They said they are still waiting for the green light to work on the Halo movie. Right now they are doing mostly prep work for Halo and they are in the process of working on another movie.

I think u r eather very unlucky or very whiney because i have none of those problems. On matchmaking u dont hear any1 half da time, and in custom matches if sum1 is being annoying ask the leader 2 boot them, or mute them urself. Every 1nce and a while i get sum1 who is a jerk, and if they get too annoying just report them.

I think u r making a big deal about a problem none the less, but one that u can probably solve urself.
