15 minute video

Gameplay is Crazy King
Also, here are the final map remakes and their names:
Warlock is now Warlord
Ascension is now Zenith
Coagulation is now Bloodline
Sanctuary is now Shrine
Zanzibar is now Stonetown

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Hold on to your butts.

I'll be honest. Would have preferred Waterworks.

But it'll be nice to play king and oddball on no doubt.

 

[Akai__]

[Cert.in.Death]

Very much had hoped to see a redesigned Midship. Perhaps 343i will continue to release redesigns post-launch.

 

[naeS]

I think it is in Halo 5. You can see it in Halo 5 beta trailer they were playing during the PAX Tournament.

 

[Ninjician]

Already saw this coming.

Not even remotely interested in Halo 5 anymore.

 

[Tawpgun]

Hold on to your butts.

I'll be honest. Would have preferred Waterworks.

Yeah I woulda preferred another map but Warlock is awesome as hell. Can't wait for some CTF.

 

[DopeyFish]

Dat skybox

I think that will be part of the Halo 5 beta

I... what? What does this have anything to do with Halo 5?

 

[IHaveIce]

Warlock is such a good map, and it looks amazing.

Can't be anything else as my GOTY

 

[Cert.in.Death]

I recall the vid - and Halo 5 beta is equally acceptable. Good maps never stop being good (well, for certain gametypes ), and Halo MP has some of the best.

The design decisions 343 are making.

Look at all the jump-ups they added to Warlord. God-awful.

Not to mention, they brought back a HALO CE MAP, instead of taking a chance with something epic like Waterworks or Terminal.

They just really are driving the Halo series into the grave. Feels terrible.

Are you trolling or really that clueless?

Uh, you calling Warlock a Halo 2 map?

'Cause if you are, then I have news for you.

NY3?

I'm more or less just disappointed in a mere 5 maps. As much effort as it must have taken to create this anniversary mode for MP, I would have expected all of the Halo 2 base maps to be in.

And I'm well aware the original Halo 2 MP is in, it will just be a let down to have to jump between such visually superior games in order to play on such superior maps.

Headlong, Sanctuary, Terminal, Waterworks, Midship, Turf, Collosus.

 

[Flame Lord]

Fucking Warlock? I honestly forgot it even existed until this announcement.

Can you explain this? They're driving the series into the grave because they didn't remake your favorite maps?

On topic: I'm not very familiar with Warlock so it's great to have something new for me in the collection. Regardless, they are already remaking 4 of my favorite maps so I'll be happy anyway.

And Halo 5 Midship

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Shotguns only on warlock was amazing

Or you can play the superior game on inferior looking maps.

 

[Diablohead]

It looks so awesome.

I love all the smoke and leaves blowing around, I hope halo 5 has a lot of misc effects going on with it's maps.

Sentinel beam return is good, it's the (quake 3) lightning gun of halo and always cool to see and use.

 

[rrc1594]

That Halo feel!

 

[reddish]

While I'm still incredibly excited about everything and the map looks great, I'm definitely bummed they chose a map that's so easy to recreate in Forge (and has been recreated many many times) to redo when elaborate maps like Terminal and Waterworks were begging for an update. Oh well, can still play on all the original maps.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Or you can play the superior game on inferior looking maps.

I will. I'm going to spend the well over 75% of my time on the original Halo CE and Halo 2 multiplayer. It just seems odd that they even bothered with anniversary MP. They could have just put forth all of that effort into a graphical layover on all of the Halo 2 maps.



I'm not trying to bitch. I'm still hyped through the goddamn roof for MCC. I'm buying an Xbox One just for this collection.

 

[RaptorGTA]

THIS!

 

[JaggedSac]

Uh, you calling Warlock a Halo 2 map?

'Cause if you are, then I have news for you.

Warlock is a Halo 2 map, Wizard was the Halo CE version of it.

Might as well complain about Coag too then.

 

[link1201]

Very anxious to play this. Is it November yet?

 

[Mix]

Uh, you calling Warlock a Halo 2 map?

'Cause if you are, then I have news for you.

Halo 2's Warlock is a remake of Halo Combat Evolved's Wizard.

But I know you weren't being serious... Were you?

So because they didn't redesign the maps YOU wanted, they're driving it into the ground? Get a grip. If anything they're bringing Halo BACK.

Duh fuck?

35 days left man.

THIS MAN KNOWS

 

[E92 M3]

Lovely, but no Midship. Why no Midship

Skybox is sex.

 

[Mix]

Lovely, but no Midship. Why no Midship

Prominently featured in Halo 5 via the first ViDoc then confirmed on multiple sites there after.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Lovely, but no Midship. Why no Midship

Because Midship is already on there twice, and in Halo 5

 

[Ninjician]

They're bringing back the most boring, safest choice possible.

They're playing it safe. So lame.

Again, this is my opinion. They are remaking a series of games that they had zero involvement with, and then crafting it as their own.

Their design choices and additions to these maps are a foreshadowing of what Halo 5 will be like, and that outlook is bleak.

I cringed so hard at the jump-up to the flag. So idiotic. They want to make the game more accessible, by ruining the competitive nature of the map.

And yes, Coag is a cop-out, and so is Warlock.

 

[Jawmuncher]

They picked good maps.
Then again can't recall a bad map in Halo 2 at all.

 

[NameGenerated]

Great choice.

Hope they release a few more after the release.

 

[Sephzilla]

They picked good maps.

Unpopular opinion - I think Ascension is an awful map. However I tend to compare it to the other Halo 2 maps, which are amazing.

The guy who designed these maps at Bungie is working at Certain Affinity and guess who is doing this work.

Everything 343 is bad folks

Headlong, Sanctuary, Terminal, Waterworks, Midship, Turf, Collosus.

Well, I'd like to have seen maps that haven't been remade.

Terminal, Waterworks, Collossus, Relic.

But we get nothing but remakes of remakes. Zanzibar, Coag, Sanctuary... ugh.

Not listing Headlong

 

[E92 M3]

Prominently featured in Halo 5 via the first ViDoc then confirmed on multiple sites there after.

Because Midship is already on there twice, and in Halo 5

Halo 2 Midship is THE Midship. Midship and Lockout never got boring for me.

That said, I'll probably be playing classic H2 the most anyway.

 

[Mix]

Here's Coag or Bloodlines, for those so interested in seeing it:

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Dunno if real.

DANG IT AUSTIN.

 

[Ninjician]

They already remade it for Reach as Breakneck...

...until 343 fucked up the matchmaking and it never showed up anymore.
