This is good to know.
I know about Chrome's crazyland keyboard "shortcut" for it and it's bonkers. Highlighting a tab and passing through them with left/right arrow is much more convenient.I'm not sure about NoScript, but you can switch between tabs with Ctrl+Tab for the next tab, Ctrl+shift+Tab for the previous tab, and Ctrl+1 through 9 for a specific tab (not sure how that works for more then 9 tabs. >>;

Icarus is a dope map name. Use it 343.

Are you talking as a map name or as an adjective for heavenly? I think Wu or someone who played that build of Halo 4 along with NFL members name-dropped Icarus as the new title of Wraparound, which is why I mentioned it. Otherwise, yeah, anything celestial/solar/etc would be a good place to start guessing.

They did? i dont remember that Icarus would be a nice name for the map.
I was just spitballing ideas

Wait, did NFL guys really say Icarus was the name? As soon as 343 announced Wraparound I have been pushing for Icarus as the final name, if I actually ended up guessing it that would be awesome.
Now they just need to name the announcement trailer gun the 'Missile Pistol' and my life will be complete.

I honestly don't care either way what the map names are. I don't think I've ever thought to myself "Wow, this name got through?" for a map in a released game. They're just names. It can be just about anything.

Eh it invokes nothing of "heaven" to me. I cant say id be really pleased with it.
Warhouse is going to be called something like Diffusion i think
don't you refer to Shiska by his real name and you thought EazyB was mean? You're either from Bnet or HBO so I'm not really surprised.

AR starts are best starts, Icarus is a bad map name, Snowbound was a great map, Grifball is awesome, Halo 2 multiplayer was bad.MINUS THE MAPS!
AR starts aint the devil
Icarus is a mediocre map name
Snowbound was a great map
Griffball is a shitty playlist that needs to return to weekend only stuff (so should zombies)
Halo 2 multiplayer was great with the exception of glitches.

I think Warhouse sounds okay (as in passable, not good per se) so I'm interested to see what the real name is. They could be creative and give it a name pertaining to Greek mythology to coincide with Icarus if that ends up being the final name. Maybe Daedalus since it's constructing stuff? Daedalus and Icarus would be a pretty clever way to start out the first two maps imo.
I'd be fine with 9 tbh. As long as they are all originals. Bump it up to 10 or 11 if there are remakes.
Edit: Forgot about a Forge map, my number does NOT include this.

If I'm being realistic, no less than 12. I'd obviously prefer 15-20 but that won't happen.

I am tired of all of this guessing. We all knew a lot about Halo 3 and Reach MP by now thanks to the beta. I am disappointed that there isn't a public beta for this game because it seems like it completely changes the Halo formula which for me and others seems to be a bad thing but for other parts of HaloGAF is a good thing. Since we are not getting a beta hopefully we will get a bunch of details from E3 so that we at least know what to expect.

I'ma say I'd be satisfied with 13, I'd be fine with 11, I'd be disappointed with less. No Forge maps.

Probably 12, 11 would be okay I guess. I really hope that there isn't Forge maps as a part of the base maps for the game. So bad.

no forge maps and 15 maps to start

I mean I don't want any Forge maps padding the map count masquerading as real maps.Do you mean you don't want an equivalent to Forge World?
The way I see it is that Halo CE got 13 maps and multiplayer was almost not even going to be in that game.
12, ideally 15.
But you know someone is going to tell us we're greedy as shit and that less is more.

CE: 13
2: 12
3: 11
Reach: 8 (not counting Forge World)
(off the top of my head. I think that's right though.)

I'd say ~15: 2-5 outright remakes and/or spiritual successors, 1 (or more) forge canvas map(s), and then the remainders can be completely new. Halo 3 would consider Valhalla, Guardian, etc. as spiritual successors, for example.
Also, this environment looks pretty awesome.
looks like a sky box to me. hot too.
also, this last batch of leaked pics has me more worried than anything to date, and if you've been following my posts, that means a lot that i'm wavering! a full team of regen or shield users.... shudder. as someone pointed out, how exactly are these tactical packages, or "non-perks" not perks?

Halo 1 13 (excluding pc maps)
Halo 2 12 (foundation was locked until you completed campaign of signed into xbl)
Halo 3 11 Maps
Halo: Reach 9 Maps (excluding the forge world maps but including forge world as a single map)
Nah this is putting in work
"I have full faith in 343. They are Halo. I know they will make the best game they can and as long as it has the love put into it, I'll be happy"
Call me out when you read that lol.
And look at that map count decline. 11 would definitely be thrilling lol

I think 12 brand-new maps (no remakes) would be ideal, but who am I kidding?
Indeed.
I don't think 343i will make the map mistake Bungie did, thinking about the Activsion deal and Halo Reach it makes me wonder if Bungie jump start the next project and banked on Forge World to replace some of the maps they wanted to do. It backfired horribly for the community and hurt the game online population.

Oh wow, I never saw it like that. Makes much more sense that way.
They are perks, there's not getting around that.
In which case you will surely not get any sort of beta access because that statement would get blown to tiny bits.
I don't think it had anything to do with Activision, they have a team of ~250 people working on the game for about 3 years. The lack of maps was just a design decision that Forge World would produce awesome stuff all the time. I'm sure Bungie saw it as shipping 13 maps with the game (8 regular maps and 5 forge maps).
They did get burned by the deciding to integrate the maps into the campaign. We know that "Blockout" was a map that got cut because it's campaign located disappeared, and they shipped The Cage in its place. It is also widely assumed that there was a map that got cut because it's campaign spot disappeared, which Boneyard replaced. Reflection also almost got cut because they couldn't find a place in the campaign for it until very late in development.
I guess so. Bungie has trained Halo fans so well to have low expectations.

Certain Affinity should become a MGS subsidiary and be tasked with constantly making new halo maps

But their maps aren't that good...
Actually their map designs are pretty decent, but I've never seen worse power weapon placement than on their maps.
