Breakneck is a terrible name...

I’m regarding this topic towards the Headlong remake coming in H:CEA. I fully understand why you can’t simply name it Headlong because of copyright bs or w/e with Bungie… but just hear me out on this one.

We already have a map in the Lineup called “Breakpoint”. Now… compare the 2 and… OH you got it didn’t you? We would have 2 maps named “Break(something)”. LOL.

What are your opinions fair forum goers?

Rather trivial thing to care about compared to everything else that’s rolling up.

Lol dude, i really don’t understand why wouldn’t you like it, in fact, you shouldn’t. It’s just a name anyway, and IMO, i think it goes well with Headlong. Like a Long Head and Neck, and a Neck Break. Got it?

And what’s the matter if we have two maps with “Break”? it’s just ridiculous to argue about something like that.

There will be two versions of the map. One named Headlong and once named Breakneck so there is no copyright problems w/ Bungie b/c Microsoft owns the rights to the franchise. The reason for the name change is to differentiate players between which version of the map they’re playing.

I think Breakneck is a fine name. At least it’s similar to Headlong (like Blackout-Lockout, Tombstone-HEH) unlike some remakes that are named something completely different (like Midship-Heretic, Last Resort-Zanzibar, Sanctuary-Asylum).

Really? You have a problem with two map names using the same word? Did you complain when the word long appeared in more then one map? Oh, just so you know, if this map is anything like the others then the name Headlong will be used for a version of the Map without AAs and other new additions.

You understand that it’s referring to breakneck speed right? Like going fast? On a highway? It’s not just a random word…it makes sense due to the setting of the map.

> unlike some remakes that are named something completely different (Sanctuary-Asylum).

Those are the same thing, actually. “Asylum” has multiple words and can refer to a safe place or state (i.e. “political asylum”), as can “sanctuary”.

Why would you be mad/sad?

Its just a name…

IF the BASE name of the map will be HEADLONG I won’t be upset. H2 has alot of nostalgia for me for XBL. It was THE definitive game that got me started playing online, and got me straight hooked on Halo forever.

This topic is just like the whole american debate over “French Fries” becoming “Freedom Fries”… it’s the same basis. And you CANNOT be mad at me for stating my own opinion, I have the right to. So shove off?

And Headlong was always one of my Top 3 most beloved maps from that game… I just don’t want it tarnished. But like I said if the BASE Map is called Headlong, and the “Reach” version is called Breakneck… I’ll be happy truthfully.

Also out of all the time I’ve spent on these forums I’ve never been so ridiculously attacked in one topic then ever before. Congratulations posters! :smiley:

  1. It’s called Breakneck because 343i chose that name, for it is a remake. Why would you call a remake, with slightly different things, the same name as the original? It’s not because of “bs or w/e with Bungie”.

  2. As Greenskull said, it refers to “breakneck speed”, for the setting is on a highway. Not to mention Headlong is a heavy vehicle map. They didn’t get the name Breakneck out of nowhere.

  3. You’re seriously going to complain about what 343i decided to call Headlong’s remake? Seriously?

You rush “Headlong” into something you might “Breakneck” …how I saw the remake name

  1. I’ve never met anyone else who said that a new name for a map would ruin the nostalgia. If it does for you, that’s fine, but everyones different.
  2. That “Freedom Fries” debate was laughable. I never met a single person who took it seriously.
  3. No one got mad at you for stating your opinion, they simply stated their own, which was different to yours. No one attacked you. You’re being incredibly sensitive about the whole thing. You stated your opinion, everyone else stated theirs. if the name of the map is what tarnishes it for you then I’m pretty sure you’re alone there.

Well, Halo “Anniversary” isn’t a very good name but, whaddayaknow?!

Lol but yeah I totaly agree on it kind of sucking. Not something to cry over, though.

I had the same reaction.

LOL I’m just saying. It’s a map name. It’s non-canonical, and you kind of forget that fact after you are IN the map until afterwards.

It’s not rocket surgery =x

I want to do rocket surgery.

It’s much harder than Brain Science lol
