Red vs. Blue Welcomes Halo: Reach Back to Blood Gulch

[Anachronism]

Blood Gulch was a fantastic map. Great memories of playing the PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved over a LAN with friends. That's right: I liked the PC version. In fact, I liked it more than the console version.

I have to say, though, it looks like Reach is looking like the Star Wars prequels, in that the technology of the past looks a hell of a lot more advanced than the technology of the future. I know Master Chief was the last SPARTAN (or not, if you count the Expanded Universe), but can someone explain how he has none of the features that these past SPARTANS do? Granted, Reach takes place very shortly before the first game, but it still seems a little odd.

Okay, now I'm actually interested in getting Reach, Blood Gulch was my favorite map in the first game.

 

[Aesthetical Quietus]

I really wanna play it now.

 

[CJ1145]

Damn it RoosterTeeth, you know just how to make me want to purchase games! I bought Fifa World Cup because of you guys!

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I hate to be "that guy", but...

One of the issues I had with reach where the maps were FAR too big.

Now, I love Blood Gulch; I still play Halo PC. But honestly, the original was big enough. The remake was fairly decent too. Why do they need to make the map freakin huge?

ALSO; I hope the Armor Ability Hologram is just a joke...

Seriously.

1. Why are you talking about Reach as if it's already out?
2. What's so bad about the Hologram thing?

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Wow... you know, I really haven't cared about Halo at all since Halo 2, but this game could be really good... Blood Gulch was always my favorite map.

 

[Delusibeta]

To be frank, I'll argue that Facing Worlds from Unreal Tournament and the hundreds of its remakes and homages over the years is more iconic, but each to their own.

 

[Krantos]

ummm... Not to be a party pooper or anything, but does anyone but me think that the graphics look incredibly ugly?

I mean, add a few more chest-high walls and I'd swear we were looking at Gear of War.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Fantastic! Not sure whether to get Halo REACH, though. That hologram thing looks awful.

 

[Fire Daemon]

If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing than the new Blood Gulch looks fucking MASSIVE!

Can we go up the hill and and to that structure next to the cliff because that looks really awesome? I'm guessing that you can fuck around with it in forge, put spawners outside the canyon and what not to seal parts off and have a lot of smaller maps in one big one.

 

[Rad Party God]

It looks awesome!!! It brings back many fond memories of 4 player split screen matches.

Damn it... Sell my 360 and embrace the PS3... or keep it and embrace Halo Reach and Gears of War 3... it would be way cheaper than starting anew with another console...

1. I played the Beta while it was available. I talked about the beta with people. One common complaint I heard about the Beta was the mapsize; even the 'smaller' maps were freakin huge...

Considering that a big appeal of Halo is Team Deathmatch, which is 4v4, having maps that are as large as they were meant:

A. It was hard to find people, which lead to boring gameplay.
B. People would trade out their Armor Abilities for the JetPack, essentially saying "fuck you!" to the other abilities

I dunno what their obsession is with big maps, but seriously. So far the only maps they released info on have been: Big maps. And the fact that there doing that to BG... =\

2. Whats so bad about it? It would be annoying as hell. You KNOW people will play this game in Xbox Live Parties. Ever run into a group of people who like to troll your team and annoy you? I certainly have; I can just see "abuse" written all over it.

 

[Meemaimoh]

Oh, man. How long has it been since I last watched RvB? Must have been at least a year, year and a half. Is it still going? Amazing. I should go catch up. I loved that show.

 

[Kimarous]

What does it say about me when I say that I have never been a fan of Halo yet even I am happy Blood Gulch is returning?

 

[John Funk]

To be frank, I'll argue that Facing Worlds from Unreal Tournament and the hundreds of its remakes and homages over the years is more iconic, but each to their own.

Yes, but I was talking about iconic HALO maps

 

[Danpascooch]

VICTORY! VICTORY! THE WAR IS OVER! NEO DID IT!

I LOVE this map, having it missing was the biggest problem with Halo 3 multiplayer.

 

[Aptspire]

the place is magnificient...and huge 8D

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Oh, man. How long has it been since I last watched RvB? Must have been at least a year, year and a half. Is it still going? Amazing. I should go catch up. I loved that show.

it now has more story, but still funny as ever.

Didn't the series end

Spoiler

when everyone was killed off.

I remember checking on the site and I am pretty sure it stated the series ended, it was roughly the same time the F.E.A.R. machinima started.

Nope. It's been going on for quite some time after Blood Gulch Chronicles, and better than ever. Rooster Teeth literally kicks some ass with one of their newest episodes. I'd recommend checking out all the new seasons they've done after BGC.
