Longshore: Anticipation thread

[meltyourtv]

I support:

•Double boxes/walls/good forging items +1
•No remake (completely original) +1
•Good gameplay, if not a good forging map +1

I'd like to mainly see something like a sandy beach, with a desert surrounding. I'd really like to see a bridge going to maybe a single, or various islands on the ocean. That would be awesome!

The reason we 'bitch' about these remakes is that in Halo 2, they were perfect remakes. The 'remakes' in Halo 3 are not even remakes. They're more reimaginings. And these reimaginings disgrace the originals. They changed Lockout from tactical jump haven to BR haven. They changed Zanzibar to the point where the only recognisable feature is everything behind the wheel. Sidewinder from a vehicle standoff to a quick vehicle match and an infantry war. Minor changes to the maps make the whole map play different.

Not to mention that Bungie avoided remakes and actually did proper reimaginings like Containment. They said it was a reimagining and they were right. It was nothing like Sidewinder but it had a Sidewinder quality to it.

Back to what I hope Longshore has.

I hope the map has no long range weapons. That would be very interesting. They haven't done something quite like that.

Oh and Bungie, use the Elephant for another map. You made it sound so epic when you talked about it. When you spoke it, I imagined an awesome campaign mission where you had to hold off on the Elephant as it moved through Flood infested territory. I imagined an awesome map where the play was deffinetly more vehicle based then other maps. I imagined using the Elephant. Come on Bungie, use it more. Make more maps with it! The Elephant provides such an awesome game mechanic that you can't not use!

I hope it is an island, with forest in the middle and beach on the outside. And elephants that are ships but also land vehicles at the same time surrounding the island. I want it to be suitable for BTB but playable as a 4v4 BR or sniper map. And there should be an awesome timed event that blows up a certain area and kills people in the area.

What I think, and hope, it will be like is similar to Last Resorts beach area. A long beach with maybe an island or two with cliffs with ppossible caves and trees, etc. It could be curved almost like a cresent with one or two islands inside the curve. Thats what came into my mind first time I saw the map name.
