New Halo 3 map showcased: "Narrows" |
Ó
Good news for fans of Bungie Studios' epic FPS! We recently found out that IGN had unveiled a new multiplayer map for Halo 3. Titled "Narrows," the new map allows players to fight on a multi-tiered bridge placed above a foggy void.
Here's the awe-inspiring description as given by Lars Bakken, multiplayer designer of the game:
It's a Forerunner structure. It's embedded in this cliff wall and it's a bridge. Imagine the - if you're familiar with Halo 1 - imagine the bridge from Assault on the Control Room, expanded, and made for multiplayer, so it's got multiple levels and each side has kind of a dug in section, and it's mirrored so on one side of each of the bases there's actually a Man Cannon, and if both sides take it at the same time they'll actually meet in mid-air, which is pretty cool.
Bakken also notes that there are hidden weapons stashed in the center of some of the tiers, which you can use to your advantage if you survive the crossfire coming from both sides. Bakken explains:
There are multiple areas that you fight over; there are some power weapons in the centre of the map. I'll give you guys a heads-up right now - there's actually a rocket launcher on top and a shotgun on the lowest level dead centre of the map.
In the meantime, you can view the screenshots above to get additional details on Narrows. Expect us to report more on Halo 3 in the coming months.

Going to be a Huge game, to bad PS3 owners arnt getting it but then again it would proberly have bad frame rates which seems common on most PS3 software titles.
wasnt this in halo pc ???
why are u insulting a system just be happy with urs
Ok first of all that dueche says ps3 cant handle halo 3 (which is a load of crap) Ps3 uses the cell processor to run its games. Second he says its going to be huge. Ps3 has 50 gb blu rays disks while 360 fanboys are stuck with 1/10 of that amount. You are a moron, you sset yourself up for this you dueche!
so stupid
Its no doubt the ps3's cell can handle halo 3's calculations, but when it comes to graphics, the 360's ATI configuration out performs the PS3's Nvidia chip. And when he says 'huge', he's talking about popularity, not actual file sizes on the disk so blu ray has nothing to do with it.
Sounds like it's a remake of 'Gephyrophobia' from Halo PC.
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Gephyrophobia
lol jealous ps3 fans are funny. cell this and bluray that, when all people really care about are the games. 360 has the games, ps3 has forced formats and hyped processors.
I dont own a PS3 nor do I want one, I am getting Halo 3 but why do you act like such a tool? Do you think MS is going to pay you for being a little fanboy? Newsflash they dont pay 11 year olds or fanboys for that matter so stfu.
Does every Halo 3 article have to lead to smack talk between Xbox 360 fans and PS3 fans? Just ignore those guys. Anyway, Halo 3 is looking better all the time. This map looks great. The game is surpassing my expectations as far as what it will have to offer. 4-player online co-op, saved films, a bunch of new equipment that adds to the strategy of the game, the Forge map editor, great looking new weapons and vehicles. What's not to like?
Too bad that 33% of 360 owners wont be able to play this game because of faulty units.
PS3 has such powerful hardware but no games to use it, thats why it doesnt sell as much.
360 has *****ty hardware build(30% failure) but gamers buy 360 because of lots of games and the nice warrenty to back it up
Yes it is.
The 360 may have over 100 games, but only about 2% are actually good the rest are garbage,
so yeah "360 has the games" the *****ty games.
Yes let us not argue and just bask in the glory of halo 3. mmm.... feels good. :)
yeah, the PS3 would be an awesome system if developers had any idea how to make anything for it. But no, Sony had to make the worst system ever to design games for. They deserve to lose and most likely will.
I've never seen so much hate between consoles. Wtf... Aren't most of us hardcore gamers? Won't we own them all eventually? And even if you won't, or don't already...Stfu and play.
Forced formats? The rest of the industry will follow suit, since the technology is superior. Sony did it with DVDs, they'll do it again with BD. And here some food for thought, the PS3 has NO GAMES but have managed to sell over 5 million units worldwide under a year. Hard to fathom isn't it? Once the first killer app hits, GG XBlowx711.
Sony? Lose money? Rofl, Sony is profiting in the game industry thanks to its large consumer base. M$ has yet to make a dime in profits as the XBlowx was poorly recieved and the XBlowx711 has only three years left on its life while failing to ring in cash for them. Halo 3 is their last move, and once it's over M$ will slowly decline. No more Peter Moore FTL
This guy is a true Sony clown.
Just stop, people as dumb as you actually give Sony a bad name. If you want to help Sony, who you seem to love oh so very much, just stop spouting tripe.
Actually they have only sold 4.16M. Which is slower than the 360 this far into the generation. And considering Sony was the market leader last generation that's really pathetic.
someone should make some underground universal consol that can play every game ever made and then some... that would be awesome
Didn't Sony claim they'd sell 12 million in a year or something? And 5 or 6 mil in the first four or five months? What a joke. They'll be lucky if they hit 7 mil in November. That's so far off their prediction it's funny
How about this. PS3 owns in 2 years, 360 forced to design with blu-ray/HD-DVD implemented. Halo 3 will sell, but gameplay to generic for next gen. Last of the series.
If you haven't tried the new Mountain Dew "Game Fuel" then you do not know what you are missing!!! Try it and then save it.

Also, this only helps promote Halo 3 and Mountain Dew - two of the best things in life!
your a f ucking idiot. they are loseing money on each console and they thought that blu ray would take over the idustry and stop the losses. well it has yet to and all the time they are losing money. i love sony but the cell processor and the thought of blu ray taking over was a total fu ck up. get your head out of sonys ass
When will I read xbox 360news without ps3 fanboys getting in the way and trying to rob us of our joy.
This looks like one of the halo 2 modded multiplayer maps.
They told us that graphics would greatly improve from the beta, and they have. After seeing the singleplayer screenshots, I was totally amazed. Props to ya Bungie!
"90% of Halo maps suck ass" - Mohammad.
PS3 aint gonna do a damn thing
Hate to break it to yah buddy, but Halo 3 will be another game where the single player looks better than the multi, ala Gears of War, Rainbow Six:Vegas, Double Agent and so on. The multi does look a little better than the beta, but not near the campaign. It'll still be amazing tho, who really cares about amazing graphics in multiplayer? You're too busy blasting fools to notice
