Agreed. Asgard would have been an awesome name.

Um...Dax...are you sure about that? Asgard? As_g_ard is just making it too damn easy for the majority of Xbox Live.
You are a great poster. This added a lot to the discussion.

I'd have rather seen a Halo1/2 map remade. That said, I loved Valhalla in Halo 3 BTB. As long as they keep it out of the playlists with smaller teams and if it works with Halo 4's gameplay/AA's/DMR's range, I should be fine with it.

You amuse me.
Sprint on a map that size for 16 players is the bigger issue. If it's a port like Heretic/Midship, rather than a re-imagine like Avalanche/Sidewinder, I'm not very enthused. Needed something large - one of the Halo PC maps re-worked would've been nice, oh well.

Definately would have been a better choice.
I wonder how Valhalla works with the jetpacks and all that.

So stoked about the Valhalla remake! It's what I wanted... <3

The voice of the multi, changing the language of the dashboard, you can 'feel in the original language???????????
They raised the ceiling to accommodate jetpackers.

Am I supposed to judge you for your super-secret XBL tag or posts like this?

Totally agree.. I seriously thought Frankie would've pushed for this name for a Valhalla remake especially.
Wait, you just made me realize I can't throw the flag into the mancannon to my teammates anymore while I turn around a dance with my enemies ;[

I'd guess it will be tweaked and slightly larger for AA's and sprint.
Maybe it will actually make it playable.

That claw is literally a re-skinned sword. You can still see the sword icon as weapon.

Waterworks would've fit perfectly into Halo 4 as is. Valhalla on the other hand?
Welp, at least it allowed for some truly epic CTF/Assault games
Gotta say i would have loved Waterworks or some other Halo 2 remake.
Don't think Valhalla will play that well with AAs... Of course if they make sure there ain't no Jetpacker ledges and other pllaces where AAs give a lot of advantage, it might work.
I think the hill needs a bit tweaking, map control is important but the hill is just a bit too important. The sides should be important too.
If Halo 4 will get additional remakes, something from Halo 2 please.

0/10 would not read again.
Glad the remake is Valhalla and not Sandtrap or one of the other subpar BTB maps.
Also why is Tunavi banned?

HIYOOOOOOOOOH
The only thing more annoying than watching your bullets spread around people across Valhalla was spawning with an AR. I can't wait to DMR on it.

For the record: I am super nervous about my favorite Halo map getting a place in Halo 4, but I'm very happy to have the chance to try it out.

It's questions
I think he does mean the multiplayer voices, even thought nobody is concerned about them.
Man I really want videos of the new maps and flood mode instead of a promethan weapons video :/

LOL! Talents, you have to change it..
The only discernible difference is that the sword, is skinned as like a tendril, claw thing.
That's pretty neat. Would have liked to see HUD changes too, but alas...

Kind of wish they made the claw it's own weapon (but I understand why they didn't)
One pet peeve about Reach's zombies is that I don't know who the zombies are. I hope they change color (on the scoreboard) so I can tell how many humans are left.

The obvious answer for the 3rd base would be the hill, but one at the old bubble shield spawn would be cool.

Funny thing is, that was pretty much exactly where I hit the wall.
Done, haha.

I hope they aren't trying to make a true to form remake. I really liked what they did with CA did with timberland, hopefully they can repeat that success

So wait, if its Valhalla, then what did Frankie's hint mean when he said Seattle based HaloGaf would have an advantage?
P.S.- Fine map for a remake considering size/lack of vertical hidehouts for jetpacks, but I could think of 5 or so I'd probably prefer.

Just read what "Ragnorok" means in Norse mythology. That's probably a more suitable name for the map than Asgard. Still want to see a map named Asgard though.
My hype for Ragnorok depends on whether the map is more re-imaging than remake. If it's the latter, I'll approach it with cautious optimism at best – I don't think I can get honestly hyped – for reasons I've laid out here before. Of course, this is open to changing with any impressions that I'm very eager to read. I'm very curious to see what, if any, changes have been made.

I think Valhalla may actually work in H4. With sprint and the armor abilities we have been seeing a lot of the maps being bigger than what we're used to and it still works. If Valhalla is left the same size as it was in H3 it may actually work. However I have no idea it will play with all of the AA's added to the mix.
I want to see some screens of it.

I really hope infection isn't playable at eurogamer, would suck to que up for like an hour and then end up playing that.

That restaurant was located in a Scandinavian area of the city...I think?
EDIT:
This map gives us the opportunity for SO MANY terrible puns. Ragnarok you. Get my Ragnarok's off. etc etc. We may not get balanced gameplay, but we'll have plenty of puns!

Halo 2 was released in 2004. So a remake would come out in 2014, if they intend to make it a 10 year anniversary edition. If they even intend to make one.
By that time NextBox has been released... so no more map packs for Halo 4, i reckon.

Or the Pelican.
I wonder if Jormungand will make an appearance at the end of each match.
