Halo 3: A map retrospective.

Posted on by

In this 10 minute video the folks from Bungie talk about their maps. This vid was made back when, so it’s from that perspective as if they are new.

Maps looked at are Ghost Town, Avalanche, and Blackout (the remade Lockout).

Personally I loved all three maps for different reasons. Ghost Town was asymetrical and had a really lived in feel. You really needed to have tactics down to own on this map.

Avalanche was a vehicle lovers dream. As a Hog driver and Tank operator, I LOVED playing on this map. There was a weekend in June of 2009 that I recall fondly. I got 420 wheelmen that weekend and two of those games came back to back on Avalanche. In those two games I helped my gunners get Perfections. One with more than 45 kills. the other with around 20.  Great times.

Anyway, without further ado, here’s the vid, enjoy:

This is one of the most interactive Avatar items out there. Very cool.

Below text from HaloWaypoint:

The United Nations Space Command uses Drop Pods for rapid deployment, and now your Avatar can, too! So whether you enjoy jumping out of a spaceship in this Single-Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle, or you are simply looking for a new way to keep your Avatar entertained, you should check out the newest addition to the Halo Avatar Collection, the Drop Pod prop—available on May 15th, 2012 on Xbox LIVE.

Buy your ODST DROP POD HERE! It will set you back 320 Microsoft points which equated to $4 U.S.

My XBOX Live friend Erickyboo has finished his model of a UNSC Frigate made of wooden sticks. He calls it the Pure Wooden Defender.

Check the vid for this cool fan made ship:

Now if McFarlane made a mini version of the frigate, or Mega Bloks….
