Halo 3: Multiplayer Maps Overview

Saturday 29-Sep-2007 9:00 AM Video: Your quick guide to all 11 maps

In no particular order, here's a quick look at each map that ships with the game - 11 in total. Don't forget to check out the video shorts from each map at the bottom - that's the point of this really...

Narrows: Basically it's a long stretch of bridge with the bulk of the action taking place slap bang in the middle. As soon as you spawn you've got to pick up the pace and get into the action. Best way is by going into the bridge and coming up the ramps towards the centre. Don't get fooled into thinking that the man cannons will get you there quicker. They won't...

The Pit: Quite a big one this with plenty of little nooks and crannies to get lost in. Weapons are well spread and there's even a turret you can rip off its legs to cause massive damage. You can hide behind the crates or, if you're a good mid-range combatant, pick people off from a distance without getting your hands dirty. But where's the fun in that, eh?

Snowbound: Another from the beta. A lot of people disliked Snowbound but we rather liked it. Things got a bit hectic ungrounded in the tunnels and upon a first few plays we think Bungie might have toned things down a little. We're sure the beta version was littered with Spike grenades, but we can't find one anywhere now... Oh well, Forge will sort that out.

Epitaph: Quite a small one this, which makes it perfect for Slayer and CTF game types. There the massive hammer to look out, but you'll hear it before it hits you and check out the floating platforms at the top. Huge man cannons either side of the main hall will fire you up there, to where the rocket launcher lies in wait. Bungie says this is a Forerunner artefact, you see more of that towards the end of the clip.

Guardian: Already a favourite round these parts, Guardian's close-quarters fighting lends itself to some frantic battles for first place. Most of the action centres around the central platform, but the numerous tunnels and ramps that lead of it means you need to keep an eye on those blips on your radar. If you've got eyes in the back of your head, that'll help to.

Valhalla: We've been here before, in the beta. But it's bloody good to be back. It's looking as beautiful as ever , and you can capture some gems of footage with the Saved Films feature. You'll only see this map in bigger games, usually involving massive team battles. Be warned though, it's a camper's dream level with all the fresh, green foliage to hide in.

Sandtrap: We still prefer the original name 'Shrine' but that's by the by. Sandtrap is an awesome map that absolutely, bloomin' huge. You need a lot of players for this beast and there are plenty of places to camp. To be good at this levels means you have to work well as a team. Otherwise, it's curtains...

Construct: Not the prettiest of maps but that's more down to its setting than anything else. It looks like a section of spaceship and features multi-layers for you to roam around hunting down the enemy. There's a huge man cannon at one end that'll boost you straight up to the top level. Be careful though, there's almost always someone waiting for your arrival.

Last Resort: Famously the Halo 3 remake of Halo 2's Zanzibar level. Expect this one to be very popular among team games and especially the hardcore fraternity. It's great fun packed with vehicles, perfect for sniping on, and if you get bored you can always go and chill out on the beach.

Isolation: A small, enclosed map only means one thing - massive action. There aren't many place to hide, so you might want to work on your battle rifle skills. We've played this level using only rockets and it was absolutely friggin' mental. You don't get a moment to breathe - someone's always on your case.

High Ground: There's not much left to say about this little number that's not already been said. Yeah, it was out favourite map of the beta and we think it's our favourite map of the game. Hopefully they'll hurry up and remake Chill Out from the original, now that's a multiplayer map.

All footage recorded from the game's amazing Save Film feature.

Wow so cheating is running rampart, and last night I ****ed one cheater off and he either pinged me or DOS me if that's possible. I had connection to my since I had the light to my modem but couldn't access any webpage or Xbox Live. I figured it was a DOS attack, but then this morning I was able to get back on and that guy that did since I was in a private chat with him (he told me enjoy having no internet then I lost it and they had lagged out my partner) had sent me a friend request with pingmafia(.com) in his bar, which I'm assuming is something people do?

Regardless calling my provider and asking them to look into and if there's an legal actoin to pursue it.

That's the thing though, we don't even need to be creating all these countless threads on NeoGAF and Bungie.net asking Bungie to take out Shotty Snipers. That is one of the main reasons why Vetoing was added. If any gametype gets a trend of Vetos, it will be taken out by Bungie. They're always trying their best to make Matchmaking as enjoyable as possible, they're not out to get us. :p

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
