First multiplayer map I'll be trying out is probably Guardian. Aching to see how it is compared to Lockout, if they really have improved upon the things that made Lockout fun.
My first Gamertag was Zanzibartender. Guess which One I'll Forge first?

25 maps? that seems like a lot but ok...

Way to take a spelling error literally.

However many maps there are (10-12 I think sounds reasonable), we're sure to get at least another 10 through DLC, so it should be fine.

So has everyone chosen their "map of choice" (Putting unrevealed maps aside) ? What I mean as map of choice is as in the map people would love to play multiple times with the same party or a map they see enjoying over and over again ? For me , it's Epitaph. The day that was announced, I was so happy. The beautiful art style, the indoor man cannons. the ins and outs and turn-arounds.

1 Flag CTF on Epitaph with added Forgerey = Win.

Definitely Narrows and Valhalla. Can't wait to mancannon across the map, rocket launcher in hand, blasting mofos outta the air. :D
 
Whenever Warthog Inc. is mentioned I always picture de_deagle. And not in a "Name The Map After What's On It" kinda way, more of a "Warehouse full of crates". I unno, it just kinda fits imo.

What the hell, why are people hating on Terminal? It was by far one of the best Halo 2 maps and I hope it gets remade for H3.

It was a great CTF/Assault Big Team Battle map. I dislike Territories but even that was pretty fun on Terminal cause of the moving train and the territory on the train tracks.

I agree it was a good map besides the garage and the area above it


if i were to remake the map, i'd have the garage on a 45 degree angle pointing towards the base... allowing a lot more exposure to the people inside
 
If it ships with 15 maps I'll be ecstatic, Halo shipped with 13 maps and Halo 2 shipped with 12 (including Foundation).

I'll be satisfied with 10 great maps, especially since the three maps in the beta were all fun in their own way, and High Ground almost felt like 2 different maps gloriously melded.

If Bungie adds anywhere near the amount of DLC maps they did for Halo 2 (11 in total) I'll be blown away. Especially if they time it right as in Halo 2, right when the game started to need a little changing up.

Though my dream version is Bungie "remaking" each level (or just straight putting the originals in) from Halo and Halo 2 and putting it out on Marketplace for ~$20. Don't even need to add all those maps to Matchmaking, just keep 'em available for Customs and System Link. But that's just my dream, the realistic side of me knows there is no chance of that happening.
 
I checked with the store I preordered from and they have may be getting in some extra Legendary copies. I may upgrade the morning of. I can have one put aside for myself if they got one in.

Yippie!
 
Adjutant Reflex is back, baby!!

EDIT: For those afraid of Bnet forums for now:

This vessel I have stolen is leaking
A jar too small to hold an ocean
I cracked it open it to bear me up
Another soul snuffed to speed my passage
Another life desiccated and scattered to the Grand Cycle
I wish to say, just once and truly
This was not a whim
I shared Adjutant Reflex’s pain as it passed
It knew who I was
And why I came
It knew that there was purpose to this
And that a sacrifice had been forced upon it
As it was on trillions past
Another sacrifice comes
But for whom?
The answer lies very far from here
Eleven days
One hour
Thirty eight minutes
And untold light years
Look for me in the dark
Where he cannot find us
And pray as you have never prayed before
 
Relic is the best map in Halo 2, the thought of a remake or a spiritual successor fills me with joy.

Island + Relic = Awesome

Its science.

Oh damn, awesome. Only thing is, keeping up with it requires going to b.net so I hope the ninjas will be swift if some smartass tries to take opportunity to "make their mark".

I updated my original post to add what AR said in case you're afraid of going to the Bnet forums (which so far have been fine).

I could never get into IRIS due to my job and school, but I was pretty involved on ILB. Can anybody point me to a really synthetized outline of what this ARG consisted of. I want to know specially about the elements that add to the Halo story arch.

I sum it up in the OP here:

Shouldn't take too long to sift through. the videos are good ways to get caught up if you want.

yeah i'm much the same, i was really into ilb's when it happened but iris started when i was away and i came back and it's all ridiculous and too mind warping for me to understand.

i think i can only take one arg every 10 years.

Iris is divided by "Episode" which makes things easier.
 
*WARNING*: NO ONE go to the Halo 3 forum on Bnet. As we expected , someone just posted a crap load of spoilers from what seems to be the PAL version of Halo 3. I'm going to PM Stinkles and Luke with the link to the thread. Hopefully they can say it's fan made and fake. Luckily I was able to dodge the spoilers by blurring my vision and scrolling really fast.

Thanks for the heads up.

This is why I have not been digging to deeply into this.

It's more bullshit.

I wonder if I can ban him myself. Hmm...

So you saw the thread I was talking about ? Thank God for you. After I saw the thread title I was about to burst into tears knowing one big part of the story was spoiled for me.

Ban him. He threatened to come back with a bunch of other accounts so an IP ban would do wonders.

EDIT: I don't know if you can do this, but please, if you could talk it over with other Bungie.net staff members, could you consider disabling your forums a la HBO ? :(
