The first two maps look, to me, like the overhead view of Sanctuary (though I doubt it is, as there are substantial differences after your first glance) and Ascension (which would actually make a lot of sense when you look at and think about the descriptions). I don't know on either of those for sure.

However, I'm willing to bet the last one is the remake of Blood Gulch/Coagulation. Seriously, just read what they had to say, and look at the picture. The picture looks like it's taken from the left side (vehicle spawn side) of Blue Base on Coag, looking to the middle of the map. I'm sure it's what it is, only with new areas and designs (is that a waterfall I see?).

Yeah! Sounds like fun! Nobodybetter steal my name when come back to xbox live! Grrr! Stickies are more "agressive" , eh? I wonder how so? We're getting closer and closer..... Wort Wort Wort!

I hope they've implemted a remake of Sidewinder, Boarding Action, and Hang 'Em High from Halo 1, though. I could never get enough of those maps.

Also, I wish they'd make a map with a lot of tunnels. Rat Race from Halo 1 had a good idea, but it could have been done more thouroughly. I want to see a totally close quarters map with nothing but tunnels--a labrynth of sorts. Actually, a Labyrnth level would be cool, especially if it had a few teleporters here and there (*coughchironcough*), as well some tricky special features to make it unique and more than just winding corridors.

And by the way, it sounds as if the new maps are going to be more like the Halo 1: PC version's exclusive maps . . . Which is going to ROCK! I loved how they felt so massive and so much like campaign levels!

I'm awesome!

Waiting for this game is like waiting for Christmas, times 1000.

So stickies are more aggressive? Does that mean if i throw one and I just happen to be aiming for a hilarious croch stick then i wont have to worry about it flying between his legs much to my dismay?

Edit: By the way Bungie really should do a remake Of Chiron like they promised way back when on one of their cruel halo related April Fools jokes. You know i ran around and told everyone i knew only to have them laugh in my face. I am sorry for being so fond of Chiron but i liked the glowing green portals and awkward free for alls.

Minus 12, huh? I guess that's what happens when one experiments with interactions between various things and the Man Cannon.

I still need to see if I can get a wraith up there though.


Woo Hoo Wraith is in Halo 3!!! Thanks Acrhonos!!!

Anyone else notice the confirmation of both the battle rifle and the shotgun? Great matches.

wow valhal..i mean uhh halo 3 blood gulch looks like the level Halo from halo combat evolved..
lol i was thinking the same thing first time i saw it. The mountain range looks very similar to the second level in Halo: CE. Heck what if that is it o.O

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

Just by looking at the blurred pictures of the maps, I can tell they are going to be kickass.

Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

Ahh I'm really looking forward to playing on Valhalla, it looks like the best map of all Halo games so far.

If you right click/save on the images you can easily tell which maps are which.


#1. High Ground (Filename: hgmb)
#2. Snowbound (Filename: sbmb)
#3. Valhalla (Filename: vhmb)

So bungie might as well just say the names.

Let me translate Achronos' comment for all you Info-Hungry-Bungie-Munchies.

Minus 12, huh? I guess I'm the first one to discover that's what happens when one tries to launch various vehicles (eg. ghost, mongoose) with Man Cannon© instead of launching man with Man Cannon©.

those maps they look familier in pictures you dident staing glass it very well
note: i probibly am very wrong in this

map 1 pic looks like a dryed out from above version on conainment
map 2 pic lots of blue could be water or no wait fog around an island with is that a structure in the middle. it sure looks like it. plus cemtrical adds to the affect that it sounds and looks llike a remake of assention
map 3 pic please dont tell me this is coagulation redoune so there are mountins in the back ground
but the pitcure seems to show a sturcture against the wall so if you guys are using the origanal BSP for this map and changing it with debree im fine with that

pleease bungie dont put us threw the phase of halo 2s multiplayer. instead make some of the classic maps cough halo 1 cough and get new designs into this game as well.

sorry to be sarcastic but ive fallen back to halo pc for the maps and online play for peate's sack over halo 2's maps and online play.

EDIT: ok i take back what i said about the second picture but im sticking with the 1st and 3rd

Did they take the SMG out of the game yet? They might as well. All the games were AR start. Not like dual wielding is usefull anymore so they might as well take out all guns but the AR and sniper........ If matchamking is based on AR start and not smg, then bungie totally whored out to MLG.

  • 11.03.2006 12:18 PM PDT

the maps look GREEEAAATTT!, cant wait to use the "man cannon"









Is it just me or do u think Bumgie is making an erse of halo3?
