Hay. I hope those map names were mistranslated. Otherwise Bungie stole mah map name.

Wow, those maps look really good! Can't wait to play 'em on Reach. Is there a release date yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOh0fM-75Ew Video of the new maps. I seriously doubt this will be here when I wake up tomorrow. If it still is, you're slacking Microsoft.

That's not me by the way, so don't post anything relating to gametoast there

The only bad thing on the vid is that the one who made it is a lazy hacker... but the maps are great.

Agreed with Labj. A lot better than last week's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PNWsAnul6U Another video has appeared. Apparently 343 made these maps, not Bungie.

Or so we assume by the guy's YouTube name.

Would have been awesome if some of the concepts made by this guy would have been done for the game: http://www.isaachannaford.com/

On the topic of Halo Combat Evolved being remade, while this is a little off-topic from the rest of the discussion as well as only a rumor, apparently Halo 2 is being remastered as well. I hope so, cuz I've honestly only played about 10 minutes of Halo 2's singleplayer and have never even touched the MP.

The campaign was for Halo 2 was pretty good and I thought the graphics were good for its time but I'm glad to see that its getting remade. That was a fun game.

I'm not so sure about the Halo 2 rumor (yet - but I'm sure at some point they'll work on it). I just hope they're using some sort of Bungie tech for the engine of Halo HD, otherwise it just won't play the same.

If they ever do remake Halo 2, I hope they look into a lot of the cut content for the game and restore it. Forerunner Tank needs to see the light of day and so does the Flood Juggernaut even though it was only supposed to show up twice in the vehicular Arbiter levels. Heck, maybe even restore the last three levels that got put into Halo 3 and change Halo 3 so there's more time on the Ark (Guardian Forest)

Lol Fusion - you know way too much about Halo

I was about to say the same thing. lol

I guess I'm one of the few people who plays Halo for everything, not just Campaign or Matchmaking.

I also happen to love finding beta objects in games so that's why I know about this stuff.

Hidden/Spoiler:

Like in the original script Miranda hated Chief because she felt that he was responsible for the death of her father, and that hatred eventually led to her having a talk with the prophets that resulted in Chief having a nuke welded on his back.
The Mongoose was in Halo 2 and had guns. It was supposed to be used on Burial Mounds but they couldn't balance it with the Warthog and Ghost.
The Covenant Bomb (aka Covenant Space Pickle) was never intended to be in the game, Chief was just supposed to leave the Cairo (similar to Noble 6 falling through space in Reach) and then fall into the Cruiser, which was a level like Truth and Reconciliation, and then eventually blowing up that engine room seen in the final game.
Two cut races, the Drinol and the Stalker, eventually came back in Halo 3 as the Flood Pure Form Tank and Stalker, respectively.
The cut levels at the end of the game were going to be like the beginning of Halo 3, Chief lands on Earth and eventually finds the Ark Portal. That would have been the real cliffhanger ending.
Cut Flood forms include the Flood Juggernaut (only intended to be fought with vehicles, for some reason it ended up in the Gravemind files) and the Shielded Carrier Form (Jackal shield on the front of a Carrier). The way the SCF looks implies that it was just a working idea and was never intended to be used.
The Pulse Beam was supposed to be a usable weapon, but may have been replaced with the Sentinel Major Beam. The Pulse Beam is still used by Enforcers ("Red Needler" rounds) and there is still one Sentinel Minor who actually fires and drops a Covenant Needler in the game.
Due to real world events, some aspects of the Covenant had to be changed. The Arbiter's original name was the Dervish and a scene where brutes were about to execute a marine had to be cut.
Not much is known about the level Forerunner Tank, but Jason Jones has stated that "Awesomeness would ensue," and that the Tank itself would have the same geometry of the Gondola in the Arbiter level and would have featured Gravemind's tentacles rushing around like freight trains in the background.
The Heretic plot was very different through most of the game's development. Originally, it was set on Basis (moon near Alpha Halo) instead of Threshold (Gas Giant near Alpha Halo). The Arbiter level on Delta Halo with the snow/ash borrowed much from this level. Also, at another point, all of the Heretics were Hunters. I really hope they were like the Halo 1 Hunters at that point, or somebody went crazy.
