Bungie Day - the seventh day of the seventh month - is upon us and the festivities are underway. What festivities, you ask? Stop asking your computer questions like a crazy person and hit the jump.
The Bungie crew will be taking on the world all day long. Hit this link and scroll down for more details.
Let's get to the meat of this update - maps! Urk is nice enough to give us a sneak peek at three new maps coming in ODST. Or, depending on how you look at it, cruel enough to tempt us with new maps that we still have to wait over 2 months for. Here are the screenshots, along with Urk's original, untarnished descriptions.
Heretic returns players to familiar ground as the Halo 2 arena “Midship” makes its long-rumored debut in Halo 3. The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear austere on first glance, but Heretic’s symmetrical spaces require players to execute complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents.
Citadel may be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to stay in constant communication, keep their heads on a swivel, and be prepared to adjust combat tactics in close quarters.
Longshore lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa, but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large scale combat and well suited for smaller affairs, Longshore’s multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.
I do love them outdoor maps, so Longshore hits all the right spots for me.
