[Masterz1337]

...Looks like a small Gephyrophobia.

[Stormwing]

oh come on, that's WAYYYYY too short!

still nice though.

[Elite Killa]

I thought that was Long and Lean. Ah well...

Looks like it's going to be an awesome map.

[Archon23]

Its more of a spiritual succesor to Gephyrophobia.

Basically its: We're too lazy to think up off too many new map ideas so we'll just make a map that looks like it but not too much like it and give it some fancier name than "remake".

All it has in common is a halo style bridge. maybe they shouldn't base their maps off of halo anymore?

[Agamemnon]

I think what he was trying to say is that they should try to be more original.

[Terry]

I don't see why anyone would complain. That map looks great and I'm sure it plays great. Fuck originality.

[Archon23]

Fuck originality.

I'm going to cut you.

[Terry]

I'm going to cut you.

It really doesn't matter. There are already original maps in the game, and there's more than enough space for remakes. It's the final game in the series, you can't expect every single thing to be a BRAND SPANKING NEW IDEA. Besides, it's something alot of fans wanted. So yeah, I stand by what I said.

I'm guessing you pre-ordered Halo 3 as soon as you could, huh?

[Terry]

No. And what does that have to do with anything.

[DaneO'Roo]

Hey guys, shut up. The map is win, fuck off.

[FRain]

^ He speaks the truth.

[Botolf]

Who cares if the bridge idea's been done, this looks fun. :lol:

[leorimolo]

This map in terms of gameplay seems completly different, just read the description it has man cannons and shit.....its :awesome:

[Con]

Guys, don't worry. Halo 3 is FULL of original content. I for one am glad they're recycling some of gearbox's old ideas.

[Pooky]

yeah but, a little too much of Halo 3's content feels like it's built off the ideas of Halo CE modders

[Con]

Like what :downs:

[Pooky]

The multiplayer maps, mostly. But I'm too tired to get into this shit, and it's the wrong thread.

[Dr Dmoney]

When you look at it your not looking at both bases. You are looking at one base then you are looking at the middle of the map. It is longer than you think.

[LlamaMaster]

I agree. Despite peoples bitching about how "bad" of a port Halo PC was, gearbox made some damn good maps. I'm glad to see them recycled.

Me too. Gephyrophobia was one of my favorite stock maps on Halo PC.

[Agamemnon]

I take it back. It IS Gephyrophobia. It just has man cannons now.

[Con]

For a second there, I thought the dead red guy in the second shot had been cut in half with his legs and waist still standing there XD

Also, I love the man-cannons. Looks like they replace the original cliff-side paths that the snipers used in the original Gephy. This map is hawt.

Also, fucking IGN. I would use those for a background if it weren't for the shitty jpeg quality they compressed it at.

[Xegrot]

:O

Sexy is back. But the second picture... look at the Battle Rifle's handle.

D:

[Dole]

Is it me or did the Plasma Rifle from the Spring Beta look better than the one in that picture? Old builds ftl.

[Boba]

Just some changes in the way he holds it (http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/787/787723/halo-3-20070511061213448.jpg). And a little bit of blue is missing from the new one.

[TIA Gangsta]

Graphics look pretty damn good

[Con]

Boba you tool. I keep confusing you with WOL.

Hey, finally a Halo 3 weapon that I like the artistic changes to!

[Elite Killa]

:O

D:

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with it?

[Archon23]

The handles extremely bulgy. It really looks like holding the thing would be uncomfortable, awkward or both.
