In the multiplayer vidoc video, (0:50- 0:52 Seconds in) you can see the whiteboard with map names written on it and Headlong is clearly written there. It has been rumored for sometime now and i feel that we can rest easily knowing that its finally going to happen. Did anyone else see this? Thoughts?

ugh…
They chose a few lame maps. I dont really like headlong.
IMO prisoner wont work well with AAs.
Anyway, i wish they did some other map…
EVERYTHING else is FANTASTIC though! timberlands looks OK (they replaced the wall with a cliff, that bugs me slightly) prisoner will be AMAZING with classic,
It was the 1 map I was really hoping for…hopefully that little scribble on the whiteboard really means that it is the Halo 2 map that was remade. Reach needs BTB maps.

Prisoner was one of my favorite maps ever. Im glad to see it back. Pistol start 2v2’s again?
Prisoner was an amazing 1v1 map as well. You really had to know how to control that camo and rocket spawn.

How can you not like Headlong? It would play perfectly with AAs.

I agree with this. I don’t mind the forge world maps (some of them are very good, like Mt. Lam Lam), but I would love to see some original maps. All that we really have right now is Hemorrhage, Paradiso, Spire, and Boneyard. Spire and Boneyard aren’t even that good considering how they really only shine in Invasion. There’s also Breakpoint and Highlands, but I never ever see those pop up in the BTB playlist.
Now BTB looks like it is shaping up to be a great playlist. I already think that Highlands is the best BTB map in all of Halo, and I’ve only played a few custom games on it. I think that Timberland will be just as good, if not better. And I already know that I’ll love headlong. Add Hemorrhage to that and you’ve got a great “2 base” map line up.
All that 343 has to do now is repourpose Boneyard, Breakpoint, and Spire for assymmetric gametypes by putting the objective where the core would be. Then BTB would kick -Yoink- and it wouldn’t need all of those forge world maps (but Mt. Lam Lam can stay XD).
