In the map they are announcing next week, the vehicles will be snowy and such. That map will be a snow map, and will have appropriately colored vehicles. That is what it means.

Anyone else hoping dearly for a remake of SideWinder?

That tank is just amazing.
Sidewinder here we come!

The map isn't a snow map.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 9:46 pm

I'm sure those snowy vehicles are going to be found in a snowless environment.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:00 pm

Totally...Its the most logical (and original) conclusion out there.

I look forward to seeing it on tuesday. Its got me in two minds though I'm thinking: "I hope its really really good so I can justify the expense of the maps" but at the same time I'm going "Hopefully its not too awesome so then I can save some money"

My God, they knew we'd never suspect it.
Clever bastards.

of course not. its going to be a rip in the space time continuum, just in a blank white environment, with random vehicles floating.

That or it's a big ol' lab where everything is white.

You know, to fool with us.

At any rate, I'd rather have a night map than a snow map. Sidewinder was a boring map in my opinion, and it'd be close to the bottom of my list for remakes.. :/ (though any other snow map besides Ice Fields and SW would be great)

Just me that would love to have a remake of Lockout?

You're telling me that you'd rather have Containment than Side Winder?
(Side Winder ... what a fkn name?)

swepower wrote:Just me that would love to have a remake of Lockout?

Eh, I would love it and I really, really hope we get one, but this has vehicles and Lockout = no vehicles.

Dark_Destroyer wrote:Guardian.

Fail.
Guardian is as much Lockout as Valhalla is Coagulation.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 10:44 am

No, it's just that I never played Halo 2 regularly so I didn't think of it. No, I don't want containment.

Containment was only cool because it had the mines on it.

Guardian is Guardian.

I will seriously look forward to this snow map. If it is sidewinder, I will be a happy camper.

Sidewinder wasn't much of a good map. It usually boils down to about 2-3 of the cheap noobs who get into the tanks, and then everybody else battles on the cliffs where a handful of snipers are constantly watching.

Unless you had a ghost... I used to get into a ghost, go up top on the cliffs and hover sideways full force into the wall...at the same time pressig X before hitting the wall, and the ghost would shoot you over the lip of the level...that was a badass sniping area...My friends hated lans after that.

CabooseJr · Post by **CabooseJr** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 12:33 pm

Well, that is why they would have fixed it if it would be in Halo 3.
