Played this on a dev kit today. Gameplay is the same as normal midship with the addition of a bubble shield in the middle under the floaty thing.

Damn... it's Midship? Was hoping for more original maps.

[Pooky]

More purple eh?

Somehow, I had a Heretic color scheme in mind (like the heretic elites or heretic banshees from halo 2), this seems pretty bland :|

[Advancebo]

Maybe its on a heretic ship.

[p0lar_bear]

Wow. A direct port with some detailing.

:(

[Darqeness]

Meh, I was never a fan of Midship. Here's hoping Longshore and Citadel are some good original maps.

[Alwin Roth]

Wait...
the only new maps i've heard about are: sandbox, assembly, and orbital...

is this a new one, or just assembly, I'm utterly confused.

Halo 3 ODST will ship with 3 new multiplayer maps: Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel.

Well, I was expecting something a bit more interesting with this map, though I'm happy that they're remaking Midship.

Two questions though :
1. Did they keep it how you spawn with Plasma Grenades instead of Frag Grenades?
2. How did you get to play this map?

OOOOOH, thanks a bunch, and
same thing as hot rod, how did you get this picture?

[teh lag]

Are people even supposed to know what it is yet? :\ I have a feeling this is violating some sort of NDA.

[Heathen]

Wow, way to be well informed guise.

This has BEEN known as a direct port of midship.
Where have you guys been?

[Advancebo]

Does that door in the background do anything?

[Arteen]

I'm not really too excited. I never found Midship to be that compelling of a map. I'd prefer some new ones instead. I do love the aesthetic though. That door in the back makes the level feel like it could fit right into the Truth and Reconciliation.

I believe that it definitely is.

[Pooky]

Pretty much this, too.

If anything, I was hoping for at least a revamped art style.

Then again, everything is still probably subject to change.

I once had a fun game of Sword Slayer on Midship, so that should be fun on this new map, but other then that I don't see this as that great of a map.

[Hotrod]

Well, from what I've read on other forums (Halomods and Halo Maps), he played it on a Demo Kit that a friend had.

Actually, it was known in like October 2008 what all the maps were, since some people at MLG got to play them. Here's a link : http://www.mlgpro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209632

I sell my xbox and then not 3 days later find out theres a identical midship remake

/facepalm.

Dang these maps sound great, can't wait for Midship remake. Bump so others see their dream has come true.

Whats wrong with MLG players?

[FRain]

I thought Longshore was midship.... Makes alot of sense. Long (Mid) Shore (Ship)

[Inferno]

Whats wrong with MLG players?
They live on a level of smug that even snafubar cannot reach.

[Terry]

I can't help but get the feeling that Bungie is not yet entirely sure of what maps run best with this game. It's nice that we're getting midship but it feels as though almost every original map we've gotten thus far has just plain sucked.

No no. It isnt.

We knew way back.

Like the rabbit says.

[Alex]

Even though I'm part of the MLG community I don't find this exciting news. I only liked playing FFA's on it for less than 3 minutes then it always got boring for me. The map's look didn't excite me either. I want to see how much detail Bungie added if any. I also don't want it all purple either..

[Arteen]

No no. It isnt.

We knew way back.

Like the rabbit says.
That doesn't mean we're supposed to see the pic, too.

[Lateksi]

Average MLG player likes Midship because it's the best FFA map for practising aim and shit in general.

[RobertGraham]

Sticks/Shotguns on Midship anyone?
