Title: Avalanche (AKA Cotton Ball), Legendary map pack - Halo 3
Post by: don't let's on March 18, 2008, 11:51:23 PM
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 monthâ,,,s Legendary Map pack â,“ due April 15th for 800 marketplace points (remember, we just make the maps, we don't get to price them) â,“ is a lovingly crafted reimagination of Halo: Combat Evolved classic Sidewinder. It wouldnâ,,,t be wholly accurate to call it a â,"remake,â, but elements of Avalanche are certainly culled from Sidewinder â,“ it has the same familiar U-shape, multiple ways from base-to-base, and a whole sandbox full oâ,,, 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. "


Also pics,

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.

Have you played Halo 1 recently?

I just started it up to compare (alt + tab ftw), and they look NOTHING alike.

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.

I'm not going to buy this pack, due to the fact that I don't play my 360 enough anymore and if I do I'm playing call of duty, gears, or guitar hero 3.
