Halo 3 multiplayer map Narrows revealed

It's that time again, time to add another deadly location to our growing list of confirmed Halo 3 multiplayer maps. Late last night, IGN posted exclusive details and screenshots about the latest multiplayer map to be revealed, Narrows. Narrows is a completely original map where battle takes place on a long, narrow Forerunner bridge that is embedded into two cliffs over a gaping void. The map is symmetrical, features multiple levels and has two man cannons placed on each side of the bridge allowing opponents to fly through the air straight into eachother's path. Head on over to IGN for more Narrows images and get a feel for what combat is headed your way. Oh, and please watch your step.

1. Yeah, "Original," except for that PC map. Oh yeah, that's right, PC halo doesn't count to you guys.

6. this reminds me of part of Assault on the Control Room...but without the snow of course

7. I immediatly thought of Gephyrophobia remake when i saw that pic. That level was sure fun. Had 4 snipers too :p

Most so called halo fans have actually missed out on halo pc, which was actually one of the most fun experiences ever. Halo pc shipped with 6 new out door maps (compared with halo xbox which only contained 2 outdoor maps with vehicles (blood gulch and sidewinder). The thing is, the halo pc maps where damn near perfect. My favorite was deffenitly death island. Infinity was also great along with danger canyon.

I played halo 1 back when it came out for the xbox and thought it was fun but way to limiting for my to care anythign about it. Then when it came for pc I loved it so much, I bought an xbox just for halo 2 (since halo 2 now was online on xbox). And to this day im a 360 fanboy.

So heres hoping for a death island remake woot.

8. Reminds me of Halo: Combat Evolved for PC's Gephyrophobia.

9. We already saw this map in one of the viddocs if I'm not mistaken, and in various interviews with bungie it's been talked about. That having been said, atleast IGN gets to claim (wrongly) that it had an exclusive for once in the past year.

10. It's hardly a Gephyrphobia remake. Where are the banshees? The massive pathways on either side of the canyon? That's a pretty big difference. Rather than a remake its more what Valhalla is to Coagulation.

11. I loved the extra maps with Halo PC that Gearbox made, especially Death Island.

The only similarity this new map has with Gephyrphobia is that it's based on a bridge...

12. There's no such thing as an 'original' map anymore, they're all derivative.. what matters is item placement & flow though. That can be original.

There's many ways to skin a cat...

13. Listen, let's not get so damn techical here. A NEW map is a NEW map. Let's not for get that it's F'in Halo 3!! Not only is this game going to be an AWESOME Single/Co-op Player game but the Multi-Player On-Line battles are going to rule the 360 for years to come!! I could'nt stop playing the Beta, I'm sure that I won't be able to put down the full version of this game!!

14. more importantly, wheres the skate demo that was supposed to be out August 15th?

Posted at 7:48AM on Aug 16th 2007 by Helloimbob

15. Halo 3 FTW! Yeah!

Posted at 7:51AM on Aug 16th 2007 by Digitalspirit

16. Sweet as tits...well close to. I saw this last night and INSTANTLY fell in love with the map. Lets hope it also plays that well.

Helloimbob...the demo was delayed for technical reasons.

oh yea...Halo 3 FTW! I WILL be the greatest game for a long time coming. I doubt anything will really ever beat it.

17. Sounds like a sweet map - I like the simple ones that encourage fast action!
having mid-air-man-cannon-battles sounds cool too!

Posted at 9:01AM on Aug 16th 2007 by barbour9

18. Sweet...just submitted about 10 different tips...I wonder how many are going to get posted...

Posted at 9:04AM on Aug 16th 2007 by DjDATZ

19. Reminds me off facing worlds in Unreal Tournament. Looks good. Agree with @17. Simple ones are the best for pure fun and lightning fast action.

Posted at 9:32AM on Aug 16th 2007 by Dadidito

20. Those screenies look badass, I love coming into work and there being a 90% chance of new Halo updates.
