uh...
You are aware that you just condemned the entire game because a total of 4 (out of over 1400 released) maps have a certain vehicle?
Halo PC (standard) better because of less hackers and weapons/vehicles like the longsword.friedmetroid said:
Last time I checked, Halo CE has about 20 dedicated servers running, all of which consist of tight knit communities of people who know eachother well... and don't take too kindly to aimbotters. Halo CE players are the ones who invented the sightjacker, and for that matter there are hundreds of custom maps with no custom content if that bothers you so much. :|shatnershaman said:
But we're getting massively offtopic here. If you've got anymore flawed arguments let's handle them through PMs.
On careful examination, I don't believe that this is a flawed comment, as although 'Cold Storage' is a free download, you must own the other map packs to utilize it. The Heroic is now free, but you still have to pay for the Legendary Map Pack - although, Microsoft has reduced the price of this as of today. So, 'Cold Storage' is, technically, not free if you have to buy something else to be permitted to use it.Eagle Est1986 said:
Personally I think it is awesome, although I have only played customs on it so far. Also it is free you just need it to play in the playlists requiring all DLC.
Coagulation is one of my personal favs.
I wish they'd redo the one on Halo:CE (can't remember the name) where you had the two, multi-tiered battle cruisers opposite each other. There was nothing more hilarious than being engaged in a fire-fight along the open corridor and then seeing the other guy taken out by a rocket fired across the gulf of space.

I looked it up, being an owner of Halo 3 myself, and it doesn't really look that fun.
Personally, I wish they would release, as me and my friends call it: "Good ol' Headlong."
It's basically the only map we ever play.

I enjoyed the new map...infact it has gotten me back into Halo 3.
As for the Valhalla/Blood Gulch thing, the problem with that map is the middle high ground.
Capturing this provides you with the high ground and hence an advantage, this causes people to go and capture the middle ground. Because of this the fighting takes place between the hill and the base which halves the size of the map, or at least the areas in which people play.
By having the rocks and cliffs around the map this stops vehicle combat. The two missile pods and Spartan Laser keep the people out of the vehicles as well, the man cannon allows for people to move to the middle of the hill far too quickly which means you can just spam players into the centre of the map until you take the most strategic point and then you camp there while the enemy spams players at you. The only good game type for Valhalla is King of the Hill with a single point in the centre.
Blood Gulch does not have this strategic point and is much more open. This focuses the fighting between the bases and thins length encourages the use of vehicles, nay enforces the use of vehicles. The single Missile Launcher in the middle of the map also means that vehicles must face vehicles, this in my opinion makes objective game types much better.
Valhalla is not Blood Gulch and no amount of forging will change that, thats why we needed a map like Blood Gulch for Halo 3.
Sorry for going a bit off-topic but people saying the two maps are the same don't know what they are talking about.

Thank you. Only part I didn't agree with is the spamming working all you need is a sniper.Fire Daemon said:
"Boarding Action". It was fun in Halo 1, but Halo 2's sniper rifle (and after the update, the battle rifle) would've made it just a target range. Maybe now with the tweaks in 3 it'd be fun... but I'd rather see Bungie create some new original maps than just rehash the old ones.Programmed_For_Damage said:
Got to explore "Cold Storage" last night and it is a nice little map... and I don't get as badly lost as I used to in "Chill Out", thanks to the decorators. (It's a pity that tapping on the glass doesn't aggitate the Flood Pure Form in the tank.)
