Movie Addicts. Celeb Dishers. Gamers. We're All Here.

I’m not usually one to climb atop my milk crate and commend companies for their valiant efforts making new maps for old games. I’ve actually never purchased one Microsoft Point worth of DLC - and I don’t see that changing anytime soon - but even a cheapskate like me can recognize pure awesomeness. One of my favorite maps from Halo: CE is making a glorious return in Man-Cannoning, shield deploying, High Defining action. I present Avalanche, also known as Sidewinder 2: The Return of Ice Hogging.

Sure, you can say it’s lazy to simply remake an old classic, but I’m all for it. Why should good maps die just because a sequel has rendered the game they’re currently housed in completely irrelevant? If anything, we should have more remakes. Perfect Dark Zero magically transformed into a fun multiplayer game when Temple and Facility made their triumphant return, maybe I’ll start playing Halo 3 again if they bring back more classic maps. Consider my vote officially cast for Chiron TL-34. I need more wacky teleporting hijinx in my FPS.

So let’s start a slow clap for Bungie and their magnanimous efforts to extend the life of their final MS-owned opus. And let’s hope that the third map pack includes even more than a remake of Chiron… how about a Pimps at Sea themed level?
