i agree with you, but i also like the covy theme, sorta. from the looks of those pix, Zealot is symmetrical (i have a feeling im gonna get poo'd on for stating the obvious) but i think it will play very well.
these maps are sweet. i really like spire. i think the more different the invasion maps are the better the gametype will be, and it doesnt look even close to the same layout and the core holding building is really different than boneyard
Spire reminds me of The Ark level (minus the covenant structure in the middle) Reflection looks dead sexy. Is that Ivory? The other looks like Assembly, Midship and Citadel all squirted into a bucket and the lamest parts were picked out for this map. Doesn't look thrilling, maybe I'm just bored of Covie themed maps.
. Yay, Ivory Tower! Awesome map. Also, does anyone think that Zealot looks (and with the outside area, sounds) a lot like Gemini???
All three maps look so amazing, Ivory Tower is one of the best maps from halo 2 awesome!!!! Can't wait to get reach for the Campain, Matchmaking, Customs and Forge.
Spire (or at least the terrain) kind of reminds me of that one DLC map in Halo 2 with the Flood that was taken out because the fog created too much lag. But with a massive spire on top. EDIT: Ah, Backwash
The Spire and Reflection pics aren't loading for me! Sad Face. Well, as for Zealot, very cool. I love Covenant architecture, and it looks like it'll be a good-sized map. As if we didn't have enough reason to be excited for Reach, geez.
Spire Is used for invasion and zealot is midship re-imagined with an extra floor in the middle and the opportunity to get outside the ship into low gravity space
ah, halo 2. were duel weilding was the coolest thing ever. good times. * on topic anyone know if lockout/blackout will be in reach?
Yeah but gold seems to be alot larger than Blackout/Lockout, if you notice it looks like there is a door to an outside ramp going to bottom mid from shotgun tunnel, and the back of Gold looks like a huge room with a window, And idk if the top is supposed to be open looking but i kinda think now Gold might be 3 stories as well. I mean even if it isn't exact im sure people will just build one to exact specifications. Oh and i don't mean the Cage there is a map in the Vidoc that you can clearly see is Lockout/Blackout, it has br tower sniper tower and Gold tower as well as library it just looks bigger.
Considering Bungie took pieces of the map Lockout and Ascension to be used in Forge (BR Tower and the Dish for example) it makes perfect sense that they were used to remake the maps. Also, Forge World - Halopedia, the Halo Wiki - Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, and more
the pictures are broken for me... I can only see the last 3 on zealot, can someone re-post them or something?
The Halo Wiki has info on Reflection, Spire, and Zealot with images that still work. Rusty you may wanna put this in the OP because Levelup.com has taken down some of the pics.
