Avalanche: New Halo 3 Legendary Map Revealed
pizzaface 9 comments


"It wouldn’t be wholly accurate to call it a “remake,” but elements of Avalanche are certainly culled from Sidewinder – it has the same familiar U-shape, multiple ways from base-to-base, and a whole sandbox full o’ vehicles to play with. But there are many, many changes too."



Full story.

So, once again, the pack is gonna run us 800 MS points. I bought the last map pack without hesitation, and will do so with this map pack as well, because I am a gigantic whore.

But this time, we have a remake (err "re-imagining") of one of the favorite Halo maps of all time; Sidewinder. So, is Destructoid gonna splurge $8.00 and buy the maps? Or wait until they're free, and force everyone else in FNFs to play the old maps with you?

Looks snazzy, but I think I'm going to wait until it's free. Uh.. that is if I actually get around to renewing my Live account.

Maybe if I wait, I'll actually have a good excuse why I don't want to...er...can't play Halo anytime soon. Can a disc get the red rings? Maybe by putting a kool-aid glass on it?

I didn't buy the last pack, prolly won't for this one even though I loved this stage.

I'll wait till its free. Not like I play Halo that much anymore anyway.

That map better allow you to do some crazy shit on forge, I mean look at it, its huge.

I'll also be purchasing this on day 1, I find myself playing Halo a lot and I did the same with the heroic map pack(I am also a gigantic whore).

The hornet in a map makes me tingle.

800 points is 10 dollars.

That's pretty sweet, but just like the last pack, I'll wait 'till it's free. Thx

"Avalanche (AKA Cotton Ball), the second map from next month’s Legendary Map pack is a lovingly crafted reimagination of Halo: Combat Evolved classic Sidewinder."

Yes YES YES YESSSS
