One of the screenshots has a small snap of "The Pit".

Not much, but it's an urban setting. I'm sure we have seen a map like that before in an old vidoc or MP preview...

 

[McBradders]

there is nothing worse

Getting it legitimitely early, then getting the RROD?

WORSE.

Not very spoilerish considering it was released in an article that has now itself been linked from Bnet. And yeah, looks like the first map shown in the MP ViDoc.

 

[StriKeVillain]

You Win.

:lol

XD

I hope that doesn't happen to any Gaffers.

Yes, good point, I'll remove the tags.

Also, I guess this means Stinkles new favorite map is Isolation, correct?

Can you imagine.

Midnight launch, running back home, big dopey grin on your face.

Get back put the disc in and RRoD.

my 360 would be thrown out of the window & i'd have to run to a 24 hour supermarket to buy a new one.

Other dangers would be: Power Cuts, Scratched Discs & Internet outages.

 

[Dirtbag]

How could anyone confuse 'the pit' with midship is beyond me.

That's Gym Class as speculated.

As far as I know, Warthog Inc. was renamed and that's what became The Pit.

So, has that whole rumour of The Pit being a remake been debunked? Or are we still unsure? Because judging from the screenshots I've seen it looks a little bit like Turf redux.

No no no. It's not a remake. At all.

FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

Just got the ending spoiled for me, thanks to some shithead at this site I write for...

Can anyone who watched the ending confirm if this is the ending?

SPOILER!! HALO 3 ENDING!

Spoiler

Master chief dies as the war ends and humanity wins
Is saluted by Arbiter as a hero etc. etc.

Just tell me if that's the ending or not, don't give me any more details...

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Not the ending really.

[Hunter D]

So how about we organize some coop parties. Or has that been done already?

 

[electricpirate]

As one web dev to another bungie...

Holy shitcock. How in the fuck did you do that? That looks simply MIND BLOWING.

They might as well put another feather in the cap of Halo 3 game modes, Campaign, Multiplayer, Forge and Bungie.net. I'm going to be spending an obscene amount of time there.

How much support will Halo 3 get post release in the way of d/l content?

Welcome to microtransactions for Blood Gulch.

 

[Y2Kev]

GHAHHHHHHHHHHH

DON'T DESECRATE THE SACRED FOREST

 

[Falagard]

Welcome to microtransactions for Blood Gulch.

They're not selling maps anymore. Instead, it'll cost 5 Microsoft Points each time you play a new map. That way if you don't play it very much, no big deal. But if you play a map 100 times then you've paid $5

Or not :lol

Not a remake at all, from the vids I've seen it looks like the most unique Map I've seen in Halo. Seems to be a set of distinct buildings with tight alleyways and a long walkway. Symmetrical, medium-large size.

Okay good.

Save the remakes for DLC. With the number of maps it's shipping with I wouldn't want it any other way.

That being said, Last Resort is going to rock... hard.

 

[WickedLaharl]

hmm...anybody know what carrier gamestop uses for overnight shipping? i just ordered the game from them and it didn't say anything other than usa overnight.

I'd be all over that shit.

You know they already know they have to have a Blood Gulch map. The fact that it's not included is a pretty blatant nod to money-grubbing BOHICA tactics

I'd be all over that shit.

They know. That's why it's not included. That's five extra dollars they're extracting from you for the same Halo experience ;_;

 

[electricpirate]

Why do you need blood gulch when you have valhalla?

 

[epmode]

Valhalla is close enough to Blood Gulch for me. Better, IMO. Never really liked Blood Gulch, myself.

 

[thatbox]

Why do you need blood gulch when you have valhalla?

Because you can't have four hour long CTF matches on Blood Gulch on Valhalla.

Blood Gulch is just so incredibly gimmickless and up front about everything, and that's what makes it so perfect .

Well, that was nice.

I had a different ending spoiled to me yesterday, so this basically unspoils it for me since now i don't know which is the real one.


In fact i believe the only effective weapon against spoilers is counter-spoiling.


Oh, and whoever answers Zan, please spoiler tag your yes/no.

Why? Spoilers are to be confined to this thread, I put up a clear warning and used spoiler tags. It's not as if I intentionally spoiled anyone who didn't want to (as the person who wrote it loud and clear). If anyone highlighted that spoiler tag then it's their fault.

Yeah, don't worry about him. You're fine.

Sorry to hear about that, though. I was here at the wrong time last night and had the ending spoiled. Not a good feeling.

That's the worst part. I had managed to avoid all the spoilers all over the net, even here at GAF and som douche at the site I work for (and hence I was the one to delete the guys posts) spoils it..
