It has just been announced that The Pit from Halo 3 is being remade as 'Pitfall' along with:
- Vertigo (new map)
- New Weapon Skins (one of them is the Steel Skin pack; steampunk theme for all weapons)
- New game mode
- Ricochet Armour
- Infinity Armour Pack (Prefect, Mark V, ODST)
Sounds like some pretty awesome additions to me, absolutely loved The Pit in Halo 3 and some of the returning armours look pretty cool.

Cue the bitching anyway...

Here's how to fix Halo 4: take out Infinity Slayer and make everything Slayer Pro (or get rid of Drops). Solved.
-
If Microsoft wouldnt have rushed them then all the Halo fans would have known since they wouldn't have lost so many in the first place. I hope MS gives them more time next game.
-
When I play Halo 4 I don't think the game would benefit from MORE maps, MORE stances, and MORE disgusting ugly armor. The game just simply isn't fun. It's frustrating, inconsistent, laggy, and at it's best it is still shit.
-
The Pit was badass. Good move on 343's part.
-
Dat Forerunner armor!!

Edited by DE4THINC4RN4TE: 7/7/2013 2:31:42 PMAm I the only person who thinks that 343 is doing this right? They're bringing back classic armor, a map EVERYONE loves, as well as things like new skins and stances. And none of it is gameplay altering. It's just cosmetic. That's how you are supposed to do it. Edit: 11+ likes and good comments. I am not alone.
-
I don't care what anyone else thinks about Halo 4 or the Champions Bundle. I like it and I can't wait to get it.They should've had all this stuff at launch, but what happens, happens.
-
I think it looks really cool actually. The pit was a fun map and the new armor actually looks a lot better than most of the armor in game already. Haha give people any opportunity to complain and they will jump at it every time.
-
Do the maps come with the war games map pass or is that only for the previous three?

343i rushed at releasing every DLC planned in less than 5 months... Seriously? Now they are gonna release stuff when almost eveyone has lost faith or never had faith on 343. I don't like how H4 turned out, it might be the best selling game ever (as stated by MS) but keeping the player playing the game for years its hard and 343i couldn't achieve that with their mediocre game. Bungie managed because they know how to make games.
-
If any of this ever showed up in Halo 3, funny thing is, I would have been nuts for it. But now......
-
All of this. Is a poor attempt at bringing back what they lost. "A Major Portion of the Halo Community" Good Luck 343i
-
I think I will be truly happy if/when Guardian is remade. That was one of the best maps in the series.
-
I just love how they made The Pit look even more abandoned, puts some continuity there and it just made me fall in love with it :D
-
Edited by Mystical: 7/7/2013 12:16:28 AMI love the Pit in Halo 3. I say love and not 'loved' as in past tense because I still play halo 3. I don't know how the Pit from halo 3 could be remade in Halo 4. Halo 4 is just a messy mashup of ADD gameplay and sprinting. Halo 3 The Pit was about tactical coordination and skill like jumping from starting spawn to green to outwit the enemy and grab camo for example. You won't see any of that in Halo 4's The Pit as you don't in Halo 4 Ragnarok. GG 343 but if you want me to like Halo you have to make a Halo game not Call of Halo Modern Spartan Camo Campers 4.
-
Dumbest thing I've ever read was "A new game mode: like Grifball, but with guns"... that's not new, that's called assault.
-
Way to rip off people with the season pass.
-
Edited by Wild Smurf 14: 7/7/2013 6:53:33 PMAnyone have a picture of the new LightRifle skin? I thought I saw one for a brief second in the live stream, but I couldn't go back to see. Edit: Woot, nevermind. I found it.

I'm not going to sit here and act like I like The Pit. I think it's the second most over-rated map in the original trilogy next to Blood Gulch. I'm not going to explain myself as blind MLG wannabes are going to close their ears and just tell me how my stats on previous Halo games are trash and how The Pit is the greatest map in all of Halo history. With all of the above said I'm actually excited for The Pit because it's going to be a much better map than most of the current Halo 4 maps. I would have much rather preferred something a little better though and something specifically from Halo 2. It's odd how much 343's policies have changed from HCEA to H4. At first they were like "We don't want to remake anything that's already on the 360 because it would be redundant" and now they are like "We're losing fans at a rapid pace, let's give the current fanbase Ragnarok and then Pitfall because we know most of the HCE and H2 era fans are long gone". The Pit is also easily remade in forge. I would have loved to see a map like Terminal, Relic, or Containment remade. Maps that aren't really possible in Forge.
-
I haven't touched my Halo 4 disc since its second week of launch. Yep, I'm still not going back to play. Nope, nope and nope. Nope.
-
Oh boy weapon skins that do nothing, 2 armor sets that are in Halo Reach and a remake of a map that experienced forgers can do and did. Because after all why remake a map that can't be completely done in Forge when you can remake a map that you can fully do in Forge?
-
I'm very excited for The Pit to be remade. One of my favorite maps in Halo 3, but how will it play in Halo 4? With sprint and all of the new features I wonder how different it will feel. Any thoughts?
-
If i have a season pass will i still get it for free?
-
This looks like a cool bundle of stuff, I really wish the prior ones were like this and that they would trash the whole "DLC with toys" deal later this year. Still, doesn't the Prefect helmet look like a redesigned Vanguard helmet?
-
So basically, the "new" gametype is assault. Lol
