Quantcast



Halo Waypoint released a few videos over the weekend showing off some multiplayer matches in three brand new maps for Halo: Reach. Above is Pinnacle, a remake of Ascension. The hologram armor ability is shown off as well.

You can find a couple more multiplayer matches below the fold. One of Reflection, a remake of Ivory Tower and Zealot. Of the three maps, I really like Zealot the most. Was never a fan of Ivory Tower from Halo 2. Also, what was it about the Ascension map that made everyone crave the sniper spot, even when it was at the worst times possible?

I thought the Ivory Tower remake looks like a GoldenEye map.

The maps look great and I'm not even particularly looking forward to competitive multiplayer. Strictly campaign/fire fight for me, at least to start with. Glad to see the fall damage though in some of the videos. It seems about right and it'll add another strategic element to the frays.

Meh. This doesn't look any better than the previous Halo games.
But I don't like Halo games much anyways. :P

Fuck yeah Ascension. Great to see one of my old Halo 2 favorites make it into Reach. So pumped for this game.

Why bother asking them to Lenigod?
Anyone that is saying this is just like the other halo's obviously doesn't know why this one has set itself apart.

At lenigod:

Many halo fans view CE as the best halo for it's balance. Sparta could mean that this is basically them cutting all the shit, and then improving the core.

then again. I could be wrong.

Looks about the same, let's be honest. To be fair, CoD MW and MW2's multiplayer component look about the same at a glance... Each new Pokemon generation looks about the same... There's subtle enhancements, reballances and new features that should please the fanbase. But... I'm not set on fire.

Man, I'm 30 now, and I haven't been this pumped for a game since I was a kid (well, other than maybe Elder Scrolls IV). September 14th will be a good day.

Yum.

I wish I could tell what they've changed since the beta. I remember seeing a write-up about it a while back but it's been so long...

This looks absolutely amazing, I played the beta and I was very pleased with it. The graphics look so much more crisp and rich compared to the other Halo games, Sept 14 is going to be a great day!
