New Maps

Whats up guys. I am not sure if any of you still visit here, but i was posting to let everyone who is interested know that Halo 3 will be having a new set of maps avaliable for update on April 15th. maps include remakes of Lockout and Ivory Tower, with a third one that i am not sure about. If you go to a halo related forum, then they may have more info. Hope all is well with everyone.

niceeeeee. im still having a hard time getting used to the new maps. except of course the new version of Zanzibar lol.

Heck yes, I can't wait. I just started playing the other 3 new maps, finally got the hang of those. Foundry is pretty cool once you get to know it.

Yeah, can't wait for the new version of Lockout.

It looks faithful and yet oh so new.

So they're all going to be remakes of Halo 2 maps? Great.. I didn't play Halo 2. Oh well, I still own though Up to a level 43

One is supposed to be a remake of SideWinder from Halo 1. I wasn't aware it was a popular map? I'm sure if you took a poll of Halo 1 players, they'd want Blood Gulch(Coagulation->Valhalla), followed by Ship to Ship Combat, which has great potential with the Xbox 360 to maybe even have the ships moving

They seem to just be getting lazy with these remakes, too. They did the same thing with Halo 2. I mean, why not just have these remakes with the original map set? All the maps from earlier games should be cumulative to the maps in newer games instead of charging 800MP for remakes of tired maps a year after the game is released. No wonder the fanbase is waning.

Bungie has a great game and great ideas, but then they always do one thing wrong - one thing that really fucks with people. With Halo 2 it was the BR update 3 months after release. With Halo 3 it was half-ass maps. It's as if all the major funding went to the game engine and character/vehicle models, then when it came to making the maps they outsourced it to China.

What's wrong with the Halo 3 maps?

The majority of them are pretty fair and balanced, IMO.

Actually not really. Most maps (Narrows, Snowbound, Pit, etc) have unfair advandages if you gain certain weapons. I know its part of the game, but at least in Halo 2 you could defeat them once and a while. In Halo 3, its unlikely that it ever happens (ie. Maulers on Construct).

MLG has been trying to set up for the future season by altering the maps. They have changed the settingsso that unbalanced maps are now fair maps (by limiting the amount of shotguns, rockets and maulers on the maps.) They have also increased damage counters and decreased shield regeneration so that the game is faster.

MLG is now a playlist under community if you want to try it out. Ill be honest, thats all i have been playing now and Halo 3 is just as fun as Halo 2 now;

I don't understand why people bitch about the weapons. They complain if I kill 'em with a shotgun or a rocket launcher, etc etc... well YOU can pick up the same things I'm getting; I don't complain when I die by a rocket launcher.

So you want to see Halo 3 become a BR fest? That's stupid. Half the people on the Halo forum I go to just use BRs.. umm there's more than one weapon, use a variety.

I've only played a couple of MLG games but just like I said, it's nothing but BRs. Hooray!

and GRUESOME you STILL have not told me your Xbox Live gamertag even though I've asked like 3 times. I'm PeeEyeEmmPee - add me.

Also, here's a trailer for the new Legendary map pack:

Even though i might complain about the weapons, i really dont mean it. I just hate campers, which sit in the cornor of a room and wait for you to come by then have an unstoppable weapon. Its a good strategy, but shows no skill whatsoever. I like faster games, and when everyone has AR's and maulers, it takes forever.

Personally, BR's are my favorite weapon (Yes Smith they are) and i wont mind seeing more of them on the maps. But im not saying that everything must be BR and snipers. As long as each map is held to one of the power weapons (rockets, maulers, shotguns, etc) then the game is at least fair. If opne time grabs all of them, then it is thier fault. But if there are 5 different power weapons (and you spawn close to them), then who do u think is going to win?

My gamertag is GruesomeBODY (kinda obvious at this point), but i will not be able to play until this weekend (due to just getting Assassins Creed and my roommate playing COD4 and Fifa) If you send a request, ill find room for you and we will play some games this weekend
