The map formerly known as "Purple Reign" is now called Assembly and is not affiliated with the Halo 2 map Midship. Though, it is purple and Covenant themed.
Lol, I'm not saying you're wrong because you're right and Bungie are wrong but I fyou read the post it says 'Purple Rain' not Purple Reign.
Dave its Purple Reign read the update on bungie I have a link it was know as Purple Reign now its Assembly.
Seems like is based off the Covenant parts of High Charity (From Campaign Mission: Cortana) I can't wait.
Really, really nice looking environment. I always get excited when I see screens of a new map for the first time. After that, it's all disappointment, lol It does look like High Charity, before it was infected.
Pics give it the look of that one map fro Halo 2 that had the massive stone statue of one of the profits in it. Far, far more detailed though.
Narrows? It looks a lot like Midship, with some Gemini and Snowbound thrown in. Well, at least as far as the map is skinned. I'm sure it plays wayyyyy different.
That map looks great, Cortana artwork (the one thing I actually liked about that level), and looks cool overall. Can't wait to try this out as well as the other two maps they reveal.
Not midship but if you look at this pick closely it does look like Narrows. The Bridge! Also, it looks like the campain level on Halo2 when high charity was starting to get infected. I wounder what the items are?
That ... looks totally **** ... *isn't impressed* I'm blatantly NOT buying the next map pack ... unless there's something REALLY REALLY REALLY ****ing good in it.
