Guardian, really?

I like Guardian too. What of it?

At first I hated it, but in my opinion its an amazing map for FFA, I play a lot of FFA customs with friends and its always our top choice.

I like it fine for the usual 4v4 as well, but I think it's my favorite map for Team Doubles.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Guardian is a map that grows on you, I hated i tat first and was just terrible on the map.

After playing it more and with a party that communicated well I really started to like it and end up playing much better on it.

There needs to be a Halo: Reach FlashForward Map Pack that comes free with every new copy of the game and 1600 points on XBLM for anyone who buys the game used.

The FlashForward Map Pack should come with:

Hang 'Em High
Prisoner
Ivory Tower
Sanctuary
Headlong
The Pit

Win.

This.

Spoiler

Ascension

With jetpacks and random construction equipment, a Headlong remake would be sweet.

Bladed, any update on the montage?

 

[The Librarian]

Plus, man cannons.

The mancannons are one of the aspects that put Halo 3's BTB steps above Halo 2's BTB. I love being flung into the air and being exposed, even if every so briefly, to that element of danger that wasn't provided when you simply walked through a teleporters. Mancannons are a lot more fun than teleporters.

I like the idea. Wouldn't put Hang'em High in there cause it doesn't work with a balanced weapon set (ie. no pistol). I wouldn't mind an enhanced update of Ivory Tower in the same spirit of Sidewinder to Avalanche...keep the basic layout, make it look about 100 times prettier, and add a few new details to add some new tactical options to the matches.

I'd add High Ground to the list too. And if, by some act of god updates of Valhalla and Last Resort are left out of the shipped product, then add those too.

As someone that was indifferent to Lockout, I hated Guardian from day one, and still hate it today. It's on the same level as Isolation for me.

 

[Cuban Legend]

Boarding Action with Jetpacks.

GAF just came?

 

[Reckoner]

Lockout, Blood Gulch and Guardian in that list, please. Ivory Tower is one of my favorite maps of Halo. I'd love to play it on Reach.

Great choices there, anyway!

 

[Kapura]

Boarding Action with Jetpacks.

GAF just came?

I... I can't express the awesome it could become.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Boarding Action with Jetpacks.

GAF just came?

Hitting both the Banshee and the Jetpacking player trying to board it with an EMP shot from the Pro Pipe.

Now that is amazing.

You are missing Heretic/Midship!!!

But honestly, the way they are going forward with some stuff, it seems like they are not going to have any remakes in Reach. [which imo sucks, but understandable] This is why having 3 of the best maps for Halo 3 come out towards the end of the game's life cycle sucks ass [Heretic, Citadel, Longshore]. So Lets hope that even if there are no remakes, the eventual DLC is better than Rats Nest, Foundry, Orbital. I would personally love some remakes in Reach, just because this is the last Halo game from its creators.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

Hey guys, any idea where can i find all the gifs of the vidoc and multiplayer trailer?

 

[Captain Blood]

I am not really expecting an remakes, and I understand that they probably wouldn't work in the Reach world of Halo. Not that I wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised.

card-carrying member of the NO remake committee, give me the new!

 

[ManBearPanda]

Hopefully someone can clarify this for me, but when they talk about the elite's evade breaking lock-on, does it mean that it'll break lock-on on missiles already launched and tracking you, or just break lock-on before the missiles are fired?

(First post on Halo Gaf, be gentle )

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

This.

 

[Apath]

Man cannons are fine as long as they are not implemented like in Narrows. It's ridiculous when two people go off and both end up hitting each other and falling to their death.

Orbital was crap, true. Foundry was more of a gift to Forge fans than an actual map. Rats Nest is a freaking awesome BTB map though.

Speaking of which, all of this talk of maps has put me in the mood for some Halo 3. Anyone up for some social big team tonight?

Foundry became irrelevant when Sandbox or w/e its name is was released. Ignoring that, a map like those two should have been included with Halo 3 at launch.

They're not all in one place, you've got to dig through the thread, I think.

Welcome
I thought they meant it broke all aim assist, but I could be completely wrong. As in, when someone walks by you in Halo, you are slightly "magnetized" towards them.

 

[professor_t]

I'm rather embarrassed, but I don't recognize a lot of these maps by name. Does anyone know if there's a particular site that assembles images of every Halo map in one neat, tiny place?

This makes me think I might be getting old (plus, I keep crapping myself).

Scroll down until you hit maps (or ctrl+f, crtl+g 'maps')

Agreed, but to be fair, those maps are pretty simplistic. Unless they were noted in the selection screen as intended purely for Forge creators, people would have attacked them for their design anyway.

 

[dslgunstar]

Oops...sorry for the double.

 

[NJ Shlice]

It scares me that 3 years from now we will probably be anticipating the MS Halo game.

That seams like a long time. They had to have been working on something for this past year. Hopefully we are only two years out from something.

 

[GhaleonEB]

The cynic in me thinks MS will follow the CoD model and push two year dev cycles for their Halo games, not the three Bungie used. Love to be wrong, though.

Customs tonight?

 

[InvincibleAgent]

All I want is, if Valhalla is included/remade, it be called "Curious Gorge" :lol

 

[Iknos]

The new abilities would break a lot of these older maps. They'd have to be reworked and maybe tested for Reach.

Maybe release them as a map-pack so that the people that want it pay for them. When I buy Reach I'd prefer all new maps.

 

[Slightly Live]

That seams like a long time. They had to have been working on something for this past year. Hopefully we are only two years out from something.

I'm hoping we'll see something like Halo Wars 2 before any potential Halo 4. I'd love to see any sort of side game based in the universe for that matter. Reach will have legs like Halo 2 and 3 before it, plenty of breathing room to try out new things for Halo before returning to the expected FPS realm.

Customs tonight?

Yep.

HaloGAF Customs tonight, starting whenever we're arsed. =)

 

[Hydranockz]

Same, ~€610 ($825) are some of the cheapest I'm finding now.
The possibility has me nervously excited.

Anyone watched The Return (part one)? How'd it turn out?

Apologies Gui, if I could I definitely would.
Hydranockz, some friends and I had a little Reach geek out/discussion on Thursday and I've been really itching to play since.

Daaaaamn! I thought you had work over the next few months but I'll be damned if you don't go!

I might stumble in on customs later. My bro wants to play Mass Effect 2 for a bit and I just came back from a metal gig.

While we are in a list making mood does anyone want to make a list of every Halo related topic that has been debated in this one thread alone? We could put thousands of bnet threads to shame at this rate.

 

[vhfive]

will be on after duke wins and guarantees me a win in my pool

 

[AwesomeSyrup]

I hope MS sticks with the 3 year development cycle. Not only does it give you a higher quality product but it increases the excitement when the gap between games is larger. I'm sure 343 or whoever is making the next Halo FPS will make a good campaign, but the MP is what worries me. Bungie has perfected the MP side of the game, it worries me what could happen without them in control.

[Deputy Moonman]

Im definatly excited to see some new material, but im gonna miss a lot of maps, I think Guardian and The Pit are the 2 maps I would miss the most, with Valhalla being a close 3rd

Aww you're breaking my heart

I just don't know what to say about Valhalla. I don't like it. You really have no options when a team is controlling the middle. Sure, you can try and sneak off to the left or right, but not before they all see where you're going. And the left and right paths don't have any true protection from a group standing atop the middle section. I prefer secondary and even tertiary routes to keep good teams honest. Heck, I just like big maps that don't have any true control points, think Waterworks and Headlong. Even Coagulation was better about this with teleporters porting you into true protected areas. Additionally, I've had enough of the man-cannons. Sure they're fun to launch vehicles from, but I think they are unnecessary. I prefer traditional teleporters.

Get online guys

GT: Monolith Gui for you new guys

Hey guys I'm home from school on break so Laszlo won't be on for customs but if anyone has a live steam that would be help me get my fix. I'm trading my Xbox at school for HBO on demand here at home, not a bad trade at all.

I wouldn't mind partaking if every one is okay with someone whom apparently sucks as Haloz.

 

[Devin Olsen]

I just set up my xbox in hopes to see a bunch of you guys online for some GAF Customs... but I cannot really see a group started yet?

I only have an hour or so until I need to get to sleep!

ps - if we do get some games going and I randomly drop out, it is because the internet here is quite inconsistent :\

edit - I am on now... Add me if you haven't already
