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.

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.
