I am betting on Sandtrap, Valhalla, or Avalanche.

Sandtrap was crap, though, so that would cause some muttering. Avalanche already is a remake, effectively. So my money's firmly placed on Valhalla, because it's (to my mind) the greatest BTB map in Halo history, and it certainly perfected the whole two base setup.

Oh, lord, Scotch Eggs are wank.

 

[Blissful]

My guess is Waterworks, hope there's a lot more maps for 4v4 - 6v6 etc.

I bet it's another Blood Gulch remake.

 

[JHall]

He said it was good though.

Least amount of drama of any new thing? MORE DRAMA TO COME?

Waterworks is one of best BTB maps of all time.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Terminal and Relic both suck for anything other than one flag.

Containment then? Im fine with that.

 

[Ramirez]

Im not so sure, I feel that one would be able to hold the top incredibly easy with DMR skills. None of that BABBY BR BULLSHIT.

I feel like with no scope knock out, people will be able to fight back much better now. As much as I'm not sure about no scope knock out, that one thing makes sense to change it.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

What is AlienShogun going on about? Some conspiracy of silence? Can someone is a single paragraph with no links to blogs ask the question I am supposed to be supressing to keep the proles at bay?

I wish it were obvious that I can't read every post or trail of threads. But I can't.

Is the recruit armor exclusive to the LE or is it the default armor? Basically is the LE just a skin for the default recruit armor (prime)?

Because as it seems now it's just a skin for the Recruit armor which isn't exclusive to the LE, when it was originally announced as an exclusive armor AND skin, same with the Console.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

The only way for a remake to not cause much drama is if it's not actually a remake of a favored multiplayer map. lol I think random tag is on to something here saying Forge World.

im just hoping it isnt. having a map that big serves no purpose. it would have been better if they kept it split up into 4-5 sections (as originally planned)

Valhalla, plz

 

[Homeboyd]

If Shishka was still around I would've said Terminal as that was the map he wanted in the Anni pack over Headlong I believe. Of course, if he left not too long ago, it still could be.

 

[Ryaaan14]

I would be happy with a Valhalla remake.

As far as Containment and Waterworks go though, gross no. Terminal would be great, but on the panel they dismissed built-in map hazards in a roundabout way.

 

[Fracas]

Last Resort.

Believe.

I will personally film me dancing with my copy of Halo 4 if it is Last Resort.

Don't take this the wrong way but I don't understand why you or anyone else are so concerned about this.

 

[lybertyboy]

HOW far? NYCC has some stuff, but most importantly, it has THE BEST SCOTCH EGG RESTAURANT IN AMERICA - better in fact, than Scotland.

Yes people, this is a soft boiled egg (perfectly) wrapped in savory delicious sauisage meat, and deep fried in a Panko-light breadcrumb coating.

It moved.

OMG. I must try this. I go to NY three or four times a year, what's the restaurant?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Your parents must buy you everything then.

I'm "concerned" so I know what I'm purchasing and what the better deal is. It's good to be an informed consumer.

 

[Ramirez]

See, this is why I'm pissed about the Headlong remake in Reach, it was a complete waste of a good map for future use.

 

[Flipyap]

NOT small, huh? I'm calling it: it will be the entire "Cortana" level remade as a multiplayer map. It won't cause any drama, because everyone will drop dead the moment they see it and all of its sphincters.

 

[Vire]

Cragmire remake incoming guys.

I can feel it.

 

[The Real Napsta]

My parents buy me everything because idgaf about some pointless armor skin? nice logic.

You officially mad.

If the skin will make or break your purchase of a $400 console you really need to take a long look at yourself in the mirror.

 

[Franklinator]

forge world remake. use the entire forge world for ctf or invasion slayer in halo 4. also, invasion slayer is coming back.

 

[Kuroyume]

If it's Waterworks... Oh god. It's depressing to think Flag Wars would no longer be possible thanks to the retarded CTF change, but I would be so happy anyway.

I think it will end up being a piece of crap like Valhalla since Halo games always have one of those two base open area maps in them and Hemmorhage was in the previous game so they won't remake Coag.

Whoa. You right.

Breslin.

Also the Lamb Strumpet is not good for you, but there is a good chance you will be hit by a bus so you should eat it. Trying to parse and answer Alien's question now. It's complicated. It won't make anyone "feel" any better but one of the reasons it's so complex is that these things are being made custom for those purposes and not simply "unlocked" from the existing content. It's a tiny distinction, but important to us.

Lol, you're easy.

Also, I'm not talking about the console. I'm talking about the better deal of LE or regular + season pass. Thanks for the chuckle though.

 

[Ramirez]

lol

Waterworks was god awful, please pass the crack you guys are smoking.

-Took 10 years to travel on foot from one base to the other
-Boxes that could block all entry ways
-People sniping from the top of the center structure
-2 Banshees, 2 Wraiths, & Warthogs
-It's Waterworks.

I think he's more concerned about the principle involved, rather than just whether it's a skin or the armor.

The PAX build has raised several questions about the armor exclusives, not just the LE console one. It would certainly be refreshing to hear that the peasants who DON'T shell out all the extra cash will at least get the vanilla versions of those armor sets.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Swordbase isn't small. Just saying.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Lol, you're easy.

Still, its a skin. Not really worth all the time you are spending thinking about it.

LOL, what?!?

That doesn't answer anything.

All I want to know is if the Recruit armor is exclusive to the LE like it was originally stated, along with the prime skin for it.

You just answered like a damned politician, lol. I appreciate you taking the time for "that" though, what ever "it" was.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

it's actually 2wordbase. they just blew out the window on one end, copied and pasted the whole map over and matched it up with the hole. gauss turrets at either end, oddball spawn in the middle, banshees at top red lifts. oh, and the whole map is in a low grav zone.

I need to try some Scottish cuisine. My family originates from Glasgow.

Dude it was like... Calming. Walking that.... It was just you and the dull grey textures with the sound of those things hammering away overhead

I bet it's valhalla

 

[ncsuDuncan]

*complete speculation*

The remake isn't one of the 10 maps, it's a forge environment. Forge World. All of the old forge objects are included, only now we have new objects and properties to add. Fyrewulff's NDA is a tool for converting Reach forge maps to Halo 4 ones.

*complete speculation*

 

[Striker]

Im not so sure, I feel that one would be able to hold the top incredibly easy with DMR skills. None of that BABBY BR BULLSHIT.

I think Waterworks works the best with all these new additions and with the scope of the DMR. I'm sure the mid-section will be reworked since it was basically two ways up via ramps, or by the bottom ladder (which is obviously not coming back). Although a skilled user was able to jump on the mountain area between the sides and crouch jump up that way, too.

Still, it would work way better with these new items and weapons than any other BTB map we've witnessed in Halo 1-3. Valhalla in its current state terrain, and size, wise would be awful.

 

[Arnie]

You just answered like a damned politician, lol.

The radio silence on certain issues have done more to offer that impression than anything he, or they, have said.

Saying that, I'm being unfair, at least 343 are on here engaging with their fans, even if it is in an often conveniently selective fashion.

I don't want to see Forge World ever again.

Highground, Zanzibar, Terminal, Relic, Valhalla or Coagulation.

Frankie pls.

I wonder if Turf counts as a small map...

 

[Vire]

Frank and David are you going to NYCC?

I'm considering going.

Also, let's take a look at past BTB maps.

1. Burial Mounds
2. Containment
3. Waterworks
4. Relic
5. Terminal
6. Valhalla
7. Sandtrap
8. Avalanche
9. Last Resort/Zanzibar
10. Standoff
11. Rats Nest
12. Sidewinder
13. Blood Gulch/Coagulation

That about narrows it down right? Has to be one of those?

That's an easy to reach spot. According to their menu they offer Boiled peanuts fried in pork fat. I must go there.

more big maps

 

[Vire]

I'd certainly say so.

Motherfucker,

You just reminded me Turf isn't being remade AGAIN.

I hate life.

Don't worry! You can look forward to Recaged!

 

[senador]

Remember BS Angel talking about a map with a central structure multiple stories high? Waterworks.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

don't forget to include uplift and district.

never actually played on these.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Motherfucker,

Turf was great for Halo 2. It would be complete shit with AAs

 

[DopeyFish]

Terminal would be awesome... But that damn area behind the base was so poorly designed to begin with lol

The map would need some major reworking
