Do you like Bungie doing remakes of Halo: CE and Halo 2 maps? (I had to make a poll, no "New Topic" button).

They're okay, why not. 5 (83.3%)

Legendary Map: Blackout
Posted by lukems at 3/25/2008 10:42 AM PDT

Last week we revealed the second map from the Legendary Map pack (due April 15th), Avalanche. That map is a reimagination of Halo: Combat Evolved map Sidewinder. This week, we're showing the final map from the Legendary Map Pack, Blackout. As its name suggests, Blackout is a remake of the Halo 2 classic Lockout, a cold series of interconnected platforms and walkways. Where Avalanche was retuned, reworked and massaged into something both familiar and unfamiliar, Blackout is a remake in a pretty strict sense of the word.

Producer Allen Murray, Designer Dan Miller and artists Paul Russel and Blake Low answered a handful of questions about Blackout. But who are we kidding, you just want to see the screenshots anyway (keep checking the Gallery as the hi-res versions will be there shortly).


Here is the rest of the article.

This view is from Sword spawn side; sniper tower being directly ahead of you and the grav lift off to your right.

It's definitely a remake of Lockout, and looks pretty good. I still want a remake of Prisoner!

Remakes are great and all, but I'd still prefer new maps. Especially ones built for Forge, which such a map seems to be lacking from the Legendary Map Pack.

I forgot about Prisoner..we had so much fun doing melee only on that map. That would be a great remake, but I doubt we'll see one of it. <_<

Haha, no I'm home for the same reason I was home on Monday. I have this rash/allergic reaction thing going on. No good, I tell you!

That's my reason that I'll be passing it along. I bought the Heroic DLC becuase of Foundry! Nothing more.

There's a new ViDoc available on Bungie.net, haven't checked the Marketplace for it yet, tha showcases the Forge options in the new maps. I'll check it out and see if it makes it a must buy.

It was alright... though I prefer people talking to me... not Spartans . Sure, they were showing off the maps but it didn't really do it for me. Colour filters are something we can do with the screen shots afterwards using photoshop. It's a pass for me :(

I'll TOTALLY get them when they're free though.

Yea I'll do the same, seeing as I rarely play Halo 3 it'd be somewhat of a waste. Guess I'm waiting for them to become free!

Now I'm sure most of you know, I'm not a big fan of Halo... Never have been, never will be (and no, I'm not going to buy any dlc, but I'm more than happy to d/l free stuff! :D ).

There seems to be a lot of this "old maps redone" stuff hitting the marketplace lately, and at first I thought it was lame... BUT, think about it - what made you like the previous games before? Then when you play the old maps, it's like sliding on an old pair of sneakers... without the smell of course.

It's awesome these are available, and I'm glad more games are doing this. The screenshots look pretty great, imo.

Halo still sucks, tho! :lol:
