Avalanche map revealed - Image 1 


Bungie Studios has released an update related to their Halo 3 Legendary Map pack. This time, the team at Bungie has revealed Avalanche, a map which they describe as a "lovingly crafter reimagination of Halo: Combat Evolved classic Sidewinder."

In addition to the screenshots we've got for you here, there's also an interview on the site that features the differences between Sidewinder and Avalanche. One thing veterans might understand from the interview is the addition of Man Cannons, the omission of ladders, and the removal of certain portions of the Sidewinder aesthetic to make the map's action "more focused."

In any case, if you're here for the pictures, we've got them for you. For a more detailed explanation from the makers of the actual map, feel free to head on over to the source article for the goods. Remember that the Legendary Map pack will be available on April 15 for 800 Microsoft Points.

The New Map Avalanche is a goos looking map it is not as open as the map from Halo CE Sidewinder.

Bungie musta spent alot of time on this map, it just looks plain awesome. I'm sure my friend that owns a 360 will get this map, it probably looks better in-game.
To me, it doesn't look like Sidewinder, but it looks more like that big winter level in Halo 2 used to Big Team Battle. (I dunno the name since I don't have the game :P) The structures used in H2's map look very similar to the ones in the screenshots.
