Avalanche Halo 3

"Blackout is based on the Halo 2's Lockout," says Environment Art Lead Michael Wu. "You'll find it to be a pretty true reinterpretation. There's a little bit more room in some of the interior spaces that should make combat more lively, but other than that, you should find this to be the same map."
"Avalanche is a re-imagination of Sidewinder from Halo 1," "We didn't change the setting so much. It's still a huge open ice field set on a Forerunner construct." Environment Artist Jason Sussman adds, "One of the things about the original Sidewinder, if you were ever on foot, and everyone else was blasting around... on vehicles, you kinda felt you were stuck out there. Halo 3's man-cannons introduced a really quick mode of transport all around the environment."
This map has everything, from Spartan Lasers and rocket launchers to removable turrets and shotguns.
