Yea it's not a remake of midship, just the same kind of theme, feeling. That third floor with low gravity....amazing. Ivory tower remake....Best map I've seen so far, beautiful. As for remakes, Blood gulch, sanctuary, Ascension, are already confirmed in forgeworld. I think they mention a Turf like map (one of the multiplayer designers said how Halo 3 had no city maps was beyond him and that it would be stupid if Bungie made that mistake again. and personally I don't see how you could not remake Headlong........I mean that map had some epic Big team battle fights on it.

Suck it trebek.

Pre Alpha refers to the fact that the game is not feature complete, which means they are still developing features for the game, Making changes to the core concepts of the game and nothing is stable.

Alpha means all features are in the game, but not complete, Major work is still being done to the core parts of the game (major A.I coding/development, Engine improvements, etc.) Most of the levels are done from a design standpoint, but tons of work is still needed to finish them off and get everything in place.

Beta indicates feature complete. All features are in the game and finished, most of the levels are fully playable and textured and all design work is done. Core components are done and just require bug testing. Most of the final steps are tweaking game play to make it the best it can be and bug hunting, along with polishing up the graphics, sound and remain A.I tweaks.

RC (release candidate) Game is done. All polish is done, coding is complete and all gameplay tweaks are made. This is the stage that you look for any show stopping bugs and make sure everything is ready for final release. If no show stopping bugs are found then:

Gold: game is done and sent to be pressed to disc. At this point developers take a break and prepare for launch, But Bungie then swings into online mode, prepping for matchmaking list, server stuff for stats and website stuff.

Well how could you not give props to one of the greatest football teams of all time. I mean if I could do the superbowl shuffle for fitness, I would!!!

Of course reach will do something even more amazing, yet we will bitch at something it doesn't do right???? god damn Bungie, You've done nothing for nobody.

I love how everyone thinks Bungie is so far behind in it's matchmaking systems and DLC. If I remember correctly they created one of the best online systems ever, so much so that the live team based their entire UI and backend off of what Halo 2 did. Then they came back with Halo 3 and added not only more stats then anyone knew what to do with but also got 4 player co-op in the game and saved films. Yea Bungie is FAR behind on the times with this add on......They have no clue how to properly make multiplayer games.

maybe??
