Avalanche (AKA Cotton Ball), Legendary map pack - Halo 3

[don't let's]

It looks pretty cool, and they say that it's sort of a remake of Sidewinder. The Legendary map pack is 800 MS points and is being released on April 15th. I think it looks pretty cool and I always liked Sidewinder, so I hope it's actually fun to play on.


From http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?ty...s&cid=13382
"Avalanche (AKA Cotton Ball), the second map from next monthââ,¬â,,¢s Legendary Map pack ââ,¬â€œ due April 15th for 800 marketplace points (remember, we just make the maps, we don't get to price them) ââ,¬â€œ is a lovingly crafted reimagination of Halo: Combat Evolved classic Sidewinder. It wouldnââ,¬â,,¢t be wholly accurate to call it a ââ,¬Å"remake,ââ,¬Â but elements of Avalanche are certainly culled from Sidewinder ââ,¬â€œ it has the same familiar U-shape, multiple ways from base-to-base, and a whole sandbox full oââ,¬â,,¢ vehicles to play with. But there are many, many changes too.

Designers Niles Sankey and Lars Bakken along with artists Mike Buelterman and Jason Sussman have answered a bunch of questions about Avalanche and hopefully between their answers and the accompanying pictures, what Avalanche is will begin to crystallize. "

Now all I have to do is buy Halo 3

Is it just one map (sorry, I can't view bungie.net without deleting my cookies since they fucked up my windows live ID)? I don't think I'll buy it since heroic maps were awesome with foundry alone. If they don't have an awesome map for forging, I don't think I'll get it.

I'm not seeing the big base (with sniper tower), the vehicles, or the middle, or the ice.

Hey everyone. Let's downplay a game for being good. And because I can't afford the system for it.
