If the new map is Lockout, I wouldn't mind it being a simple cut-and-paste from Halo 2, with no changes at all (aside from graphical tweaks and whatnot).

Hey, I stay at work late every Friday so I can read the Updates when they go up.snack said:
Looking back, I've gotten four press releases from Microsoft about Halo 3 since the fall. The first three came out at 9:00am on the nose, the last one (about Avalance and the release date/price) was 10:00am. So the question is, will MS issue their press release the same day as Bungie updates, as usual, or the day after, like last time.

Hopefully they will put it up around the same time they put the Avalanche update online.GhaleonEB said:Hey, I stay at work late every Friday so I can read the Updates when they go up.

I guess that is why I liked Lockout. I'm an ass-man.EazyB said:
Yeah, the rest of the pack will more than make up for a Lockout remake in my opinion. Sidewinder and Rat Race are my favourite Halo maps, so getting 50% of them back and a cool new one is worth it.GhaleonEB said:
Hang on... a Rat Race remake would go perfect with the tunnel environment at the start of Tsavo Highway!

I found the main story of Halo 3 to be pretty interesting, though far from being as engrossing as Halo 2, but I really like the Terminals. It's just cool for me to learn more about the backbone of the Halo story.GhaleonEB said:
However, I see where you're coming from. I think Bungie understood that they lost a lot of people with the Halo 3 story, so they set out to make a more accessable main story, while leaving some interesting stuff for hardcore fans of the fiction to ponder. To some, they succeeded, to others such as you, they didn't. Personally, I like the approach they took, but I think they went too far in terms of simplifying the main story. There were a lot of things in the main story that I wanted to know more about, but didn't get a chance to learn more about.
In general, I just think it's important not to put too much stock in what the dumbest members of your community, the ones who stopped playing Halo 2 when they saw that plant thing and hated the Arbiter, say. Obviously, you need to be looking to have a wide audience, but you need to be careful when it comes to "game design for the lowest common denominator."
Speaking of maps, I remember during the Beta when the people posted on various sites what they found in the code.
99% of what was said to be found in the Beta code was in the final game. The only thing missing was 1 map called Cyberdine. I also found it strange that Bungie gave us 11 maps instead of 12 at launch (Halo 2 had 12).
So was Cyberdine cancelled, or held back for future tweaks and released as something different?

Standoff, Valhalla, Isolation, Guardian, Construct and Epitaph all disagree with you.sixthsubset said:
If this is Lockout, I really am going to be pissed. I have a bunch of shit to fix on my car, might not even bother getting the pack for the time being if it's a Lockout remake. Certainly not the worst map in Halo history, that honor belongs to The Pit and Midship, but it's easily the most overrated map I've ever played on.

I'd love you long time if you put it up as early as possible. If you could do some late night shenanigans, that would be even better. GAF and all Halo communities would be forever in debt to you.LukeSmith said:
Please make it happen!
:lol :lol :lol @ People who think Lockout is an awesome looking map. It's just bland. That would be like saying The Pit is a map of extreme visual beauty.
And, for the record, I will not be happy for Lockout fans if that's what it is. Why would I be happy for them? Their happiness isn't doing anything for me.
I am collecting celebration gifs right now in case it isn't Lockout.
I didn't hate it, but I can think of 10 maps offhand that I'd rather have remade. I don't hate it like I hate Last Resort, Burial Mounds and Chiron, but it's far from my favorite.GhaleonEB said:

I will laugh and laugh and cry happily. I will save so many bnet threads to my favorites, it won't even be funny. I swear, it will be AWESOME.Wizman23 said:

Bring back Headlong!
I take happiness in the happiness of others. Unless you're killing me in Halo 3. But even then I'll make exception if it's an unusually hilarious death, like that time I got tagged by a plasma grenade right before I got splattered by a Chopper and in my death the Chopper got blown up. Then I'd be happy for you as well.the disgruntled gamer said:

I wouldn't mind a Lockout remake; I had a lot of fun on that map in Halo 2. I would really enjoy a Headlong or even
. I already got what I wanted with Avalanche; i've been wanting a sidewinder remake since Halo 2. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Waterworks. Despite all the hate, I loved waterworks
