Why does it have to have the same look as the original- even Bungie would change up aesthetics with their remakes. Take Hang 'em High/Tombstone and Lockout/Blackout for examples.

Bingo. The maps always get retooled when they’re translated across games. It’s COOL when it happens too.

I just wish Narrows was the map to be revealed. Or High Ground or something. The Pit, while a great map, is probably the safest map 343 could have remade. Also they already remade it in H4 with Pitfall.
Exactly. This game is drowning in UNSC inspired locations and they make another UNSC map?
Wait, there was supposed to be some Halo event today? Hmm, not sure how I didn’t hear about this. Anyway, the reveal is a Forge made version of The Pit? Meh. I never understood the love for that map. Like most of Halo 3’s multiplayer maps, I always felt it mediocre. More maps is always good of course, but I’d have rather seen a port of one of the many great maps from CE or 2.
I haven’t even seen it yet, I’ll have to check it out. I’m sure there are videos up already. In any case, I’m looking forward to a new map in the rotation.
It’s sad to see 343 continue to take the value out of their words. Calling a singular map reveal a “World Premier” is hilariously over hyping (even if this is the greatest remake 343 has ever done). Not that this is surprising in the slightest. All y’all that were expecting more refuse to learn from the past.

Wow, for the world premiere of the anniversary of Halo 3, 343 presents us with:
ONE UNFINISHED FORGE MAP
The Pit - Except bigger, purpler, and in Cyberpunk 2077
I’m sure some random fan will make a 1-1 faithful Pit within a week after the Forge beta releases, since we have multiple faithful recreations already when Forge isn’t out

This is just too sad.

Who said it was UNSC?
Good luck. Not saying it can’t happen, but good luck seeing that in matchmaking lol.
What you saw is what you’re getting.
I took a weeklong break hoping this premier would generate some hype and pique my interest for the game… looks like my break is being extended.
Honestly though, this was the biggest turd-burger “nothing to see here folks” showcase I’ve ever seen. I look at my collection of Halo collectibles every day and shake my head in disbelief when I think of just how dim this once bright franchise has become. It’s a dark time to be a Halo fan.

I don’t want ANY fan made Forge maps in Matchmaking. I don’t want 343 stealing maps and taking the credit. Matchmaking is trash. I’d rather play custom rules, custom weapons, custom maps. I want nothing to do with Matchmaking. I also prefer classic BTB. Matchmaking Halo Infinite BTB needs to stop existing. It’s worse than Halo 4 BTB.

343 overhyped one 15 year old map. I like your positivity. But I can imagine a lot of people will be deflated with this PR stunt.

uh-huh.
Okay, sure, but like, what else do you enjoy because if you’re so bummed you can broaden your horizons maybe.
The Pit is cool, usually considered one of 3’s best 4v4 (well 5v5 back then if I’m remembering correctly), but yeah a single forge remake isn’t terribly exciting. Can’t say I’m that disappointed because I was already expecting to be let down, but that doesn’t make it any better really.
343 needs to just show and not tell anymore. Should’ve told us we are getting a sneak peak at the pit instead of some bull ‘world premiere’ stunt for views.
The way I’m trying to look at it?
We are getting three maps in November instead of two. But in reality I was hoping for 4-5 like everyone else.

Gods, why, when according to this forum, all 343i has ever done is under-deliver?
Why do you expect such lofty things?
It’s the fact they hyped it up to be some big reveal when it was simply a map.
I’m still waiting to hear from them about the posts I made regarding aiming.

World. Premiere.
People like to hope 343 know what comparison they’re making when they say World Premiere. Doesn’t make it any less 343s fault - doesn’t matter what people expected, a 2 game throwdown on an unfinished map is a poor celebration of the best Halo.

Awake now. Just watched some gameplay on the map - and it looks great.
Further encouraged that Forge maps will work seamlessly in the main list rotations.
But still a bit flat for a “world premier”.

Map looks great.
The pit had the mombasa aesthetic. It still does now, just Infinites new mombasa streets aesthetic.
I dig it. And the skyline canvas looks awesome.

And the “top of the skyscraper” is going to be awesome.
Repulsors and Grappleshots for the win!
