Halo: Reach Discussion

lmfao i want to see an assassination anim called the codpiece inspection.
you stab him in the balls with your knife, and with his balls still attached, you slit his throat with the same knife.

From what I've seen in the beta, a couple of bitmaps and some strings ("ivorytower_glasshall", "ivorytower_balcony", etc), I think it's safe to assume the map is making a return.

On that note, wasn't there also a few things about Blood Gulch? Seeing as how Halo Reach is the closest game to Halo 1 out of the series, I would say that it's safe to assume a possible return of that as well.

Yes, there is a string that mentions a gulch, "forge_gulch_name". There are a few other familiar names as well, "forge_ascension_name" and "forge_sanctuary_name".

no "forge_yoyorast_name" ? :(

On a slightly more serious note, is that all that seems to be making a comeback?

ivorytower
launchstation
panoptical
spire
forge_arena
forge_ascension
forge_badlands
forge_gulch
forge_sanctuary
forge_island

Is that seriously going to be it for MP maps?

I'm pretty sure they took those names from map assets and since not all maps share their assets they aren't all going to be there. It'll probably be around 15(?) or so like the other games

I wouldn't be surprised if bungie adds extra maps on top of the usual load of MP/FF maps that are just for forge and allows players to create their own maps from levels that aren't made specifically for multiplayer yet. Would be cool though, and we would get such a wide range of different experiences doing it this way, rather than forge specific Multiplayer levels like Foundry and Sandbox.

Ivory tower would be cool to see in Reach, I would like some larger more vehicular based MP maps too though, such as 'The Gulch' but alas the only one we saw in the beta was the Invasion map Boneyard. I'm sure over the next 2 months bungie with release a plethora of information about Multiplayer and some more tidbits about Single Player.
