Guardian is very similar to lockout. It doesn't make sense to me that they would remake it again.

"Guardian is very similar to lockout. It doesn't make sense to me that they would remake it again."

Guardian sucks compared to Lockout. I don't think the map is terrible, its a good map. But there aren't enough rifles. So the rifles are treated like power weapons. But Lockout was a better map even without that fact. More jump shortcuts, more points to jump to lower levels. It was just a better map.

Anyways, at this point Im 95% sure its going to be Lockout. Even before it was confirmed it was a remake, people speculated it was a Lockout remake. the descriptions they were giving matched it completely. This scan, and the confirmation Moonlight is a remake just confirms it in my mind.

I just hope they don't screw it up. Best Halo 2 slayer map IMO.

Does anyone know the name of this magazine. Would like to see some details.

Thats the grav lift area!

We'll see the "official" one on tuesday, though.

I'm really getting the feeling that this new map pack might be enough to get me back into Halo 3. I just wish I could get a refund on the last ones. :|

The only good pack from that was Foundry, IMHO, and that really makes me mad that I was enough of a sucker to pay $10 for one good map.

If they have Sidewinder and Lockout in the next ones, well... I might not be able to say no, even without knowing their quality.

Then again it still may not be enough to pull me away from CoD4 and ITS new maps...

It's very imminent... Moonlight Sonata is Lockout. I believe it was even described as 'littered with fusion cores' in a weekly update. Bungie would be crazy to not remake one of the greatest Halo maps in history.

Moonlight Sonata reminds me Lockout in someway anyways :) I really hope this is true. Guardian is an O.K. map but Lockout is better in far to many ways.

We all forget it could also be Beaver Creek. ;p

It'd be interesting to see what a frostified Bever Creek would look like.

Remake Ascension! Also I believe they should be free too as I have no intention of paying for the same maps again.

I would recommend downloading the Heroic map pack trailer that's in the update.. quite hilarious with some forging antics. I am stoked my patience paid off and I didn't pay for heroic, time to buy legendary though when it comes out!!!

ivory tower, headlong, waterworks and colossus were my favourites, im wasn't a big fan of lockout, but i love guardian.

I hate you damn people who complaing about paying for it, shut up you cheap bastards!

It's TEN DOLLARS! TEN.

How would you like it if you didn't get paid for the work you did!

I don't know about you, or if you even have a job.

But I make $10 in under an hour.

So for an HOUR of my time, I get ALL THE HOURS they worked on these maps.

Seriously, grow up the fuck up.

Don't like it-don't buy it.

It's not gonna be free.

This IS a business afterall.





idiots...

As siked as I am to see a remake or Lockout, I feel a little bummed for a few reasons.

One being that, with remakes, there lies a chance of coming up way short to the fun the original gave us. I loved Lockout. With remakes, I think the best bet is to leave the maps as intact as possible. Sure tweak a little for Halo 3 but if the map was stellar, as Lockout was, dont do too much and end up screwing it up. I wish they release the top 7 maps from previous Halos and leave them as original as possible.

Although I love the thought of classic maps for Halo 3, I think we should also get more NEW maps. So far, the true new maps Halo 3 came with, are mostly tame and just not that great over all. I realize they want to bring some attention back to Halo but why cant they do both. Release more classics, but also give us truly new maps. At least some that are better than the last batch, which in my opinion were just not fun to play on, Rats Nest/Foundry/Stand Off. They were okay at first but quickly grew old.

I think Bungie is losing their touch when it comes to great maps. I hope I am wrong and I wish we could look forward to more map releases than this twice a year standard crap. Same with the Fall and Spring updates for Live. Why not just release the updates as you finish them? Doesnt make sense to me to have to wait.

You know, some people don't feel like paying (regardless how much it is) for stuff that should've came on disc in first place.

Reply

No, it SHOULDN'T have come on the disc in the first place.

OTHERWISE, it would be on there already.

This is what they call "business" and "making a profit" and "marketing" and all that good stuff.

The more they put out over time, the more they increase the longevity of the game.

Also, not Bungie's choice; it's Microsoft's call. Hmm. Microsoft. Big corporation. What would you expect?

But seriously, if the game shipped with 30 maps, we probably still wouldn't have Halo 3. We'd probably still be waiting on it.

Think people, think.

I bet if they would have delayed halo for 4 -5 months, and released those maps in the game, then a couple months later released new DLC, you would be saying the same thing. Stop being a cheap ass its only 10 dollars, or you can FREAKEN WAIT UNTIL ITS FREE!!!
