== [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] ==
i hope they bring back the [[spectre]], the [[prowler]] will never be as good as it

I'm thinking it will be a vehicle already in the code, like the Hornet or Prowler, possibly a souped up Elephant.  A nice surprise would be the Scarab tank, but even that would be a little big for something like Sidewinder or Blood Gulch.  It truly would have to be at least bigger than Sandtrap to work well. Spectre's not likely either since the Prowler and Spectre are near carbon copies of each other.

== No Freaking Scarab ==

It would be ridiculously overpowered. "LOL I PWN UR TEEM AND CANT KILL ME CUZ I CAMP SHEE SPAWN".
No scarab. Bungie said it would expand on the hunter-scarab mystery, and that most likely means a crashed scarab in the center of the map or as a base or something like that. The vehicle I think is a tt hog. It makes the most sense for the dsc of the map.

I agree there will not be any scarabs because you cant even control them, they are piloted by lecklogo or whatever you call them, they are basically giant Hunters, there will not be any phantoms for the same reason

phantoms arent made out of Lekgolo, they are piloted by brutes/elites, i suppose. Besides, Even if there is Lekgolo in Scarabs, there is definitely something controlling them. If they were made completely out of Lekgolo then they wouldnt have giant asplody power cores, would they?

== Possible vehicles ==

Here are a list of vehicles that maybe driveable

1: Spectre (In my mind the most possible)
2: Anti-Air Wraith (Very possible but probably not likely due to the fact that it rips people in half with ease).
3: *sigh* Can't believe I'm saying this buy Scarab, or maybe a piece of Scarab like the top gun.
4: Other warthogs that they previously didn't put in, like the snowhog or a different version of the hog.
5: Troop warthog
6: Any previously undrivable vehicle in the Halo series (Spirits, Shadows, Pelican, Seraph, Phantom)
7: This would be more a humor than actual use, but the Blind Wolfs maybe a drivable "vehicle"
8: However they possibly maybe refering to this video. [http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhqkKALbxqI New Campaign vehicle]


Here is a list of my vehicles:

1: A rocket warthog, probably not because thats practically a slower gauss

2: Troop transport hog, maybe but you cant get in the rear seats in campaign in halo 3 because Spartans and elites are  too tall.

3. A new version of an elephant, like one with a mounted main weapon like an SAM or something

4. A wolverine, maybe, but it is only a small AA vehicle

5: Rhino, or a more powerful tank

6: Cougar, most likely in my opinion, a fast tank with a cannon equivalent to a gauss

7: SkyHawk, not really because its too fast powerful and can fly high altitudes, making it an unfair advantage

8: Pelican, no, for the same reason as the sky hawk

9: Albatross, maybe as scenery not drivable because it is the size of a flying elephant

10: Shortsword and Longsword, no way too fast, it would fly over the whole map and kill everyone in a second

11: SparrowHawk, would be fun but there should be another weapon on the map to destroy it easier like a mounted missle pod.

12: AA wraith, that would be really likely because its already there in campaign and would be fun in multiplayer.

13: Shade would also be a good idea

14: Spectre, is a good thing to bring back

15: Shadow would be the covenant equivalent to the TT warthog

16: Phantoms, don't really have that good of weapons, it may even be

17: NO SCARAB! It is controlled by those worm like entities and is powered by deuterium fuel

18: Spirit is a high altitude dropship with only a plasma cannon, so it would be useless.

19: Any other version of an existing vechicle

20: something we did not see in matchmaking but we did in campaign and custom games such as a hornet or scorpion

21: Something completely new and unheard of

[[User:Unlimitedguy5|Unlimitedguy5]] 18:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)--[[User:Unlimitedguy5|Unlimitedguy5]] 18:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

None of these are going to be in the map. Bunige already stated what vehicles there would be. The "new" vehicles are the re-textured warthog, scorpion, mongoose, and toned-down hornet.
[[User:Sgt. Raynor|Sgt. Raynor]] 15:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

==Longswords?==
Anyone ever think of a long sword being on it? [[User:odst fan]]

That would be fun but a longsword would fly over any map in less than 3 seconds, i think it will be a sparrowhawk, cougar rhino or anything from halo wars is my opinion

== Another Theory ==
Another theory is the pc exclusive death island, as some fans have specualted the map following the same setting as the campaign level "the covenant" this would be a map ideal for mongoose runs and all other vehicles, as many people have also said it will be the new sidewinder, it would be ideal to add shortcuts into the mountains which add a man made feel to the map, however the halo installations are not techanically natural. -Anonymous

== Halo Wars ==
*Knowing Bungie, the surprising vehicle could very likely be a vehicle from Halo Wars, due to marketing, hype, and the fact that Halo Wars will release in a short time.

Snow UNSC vehicles? Awesome, but I wish they'd brought back the Spectre. ~~

== Brute vehicles ==

Bungie didn't mention any brute prowlers anywhere in the PR did they?

== Scarab Theory ==

I was told by a Bungie employee that Moonbase Alpha was the actually bigger map. It'll be two times bigger than Sandtrap and be on the moon. Anyways back to the scarab theory, the scarab may be the halo 2 scarab due to be commodities it has for transporting troops uninjured. Obviously the Halo 3 scarab won't be used due to overdoses of power. The scarab on the new map may have multiple plasma cannons and an accesible internal chamber like in Halo 2 which may also serve as the control room. In addition, the scarab may be invincible or have a critical hit location like in the other Halo games. And since the scarabs center body is suspended in middair, it may hold a banshee spawning point. the employee didn't say if the scarab(s) will have paint jobs with specific names like Elephants such as Leviathan.

==About the drivable UNSC vehicle in the Trivia section.==
I've notice somebody keeps putting up false information about the surprise drivable vehicle. That vehicle is the HORNET and only the HORNET. It is not all of the snow camouflage UNSC vehicles, because A: it was stated as a drivable vehicle, as in just one. Please stop changing it back.


==the hunter/scarab thing==

could it just be posible that the map is on the hunter homeworld and/or it has some scarabs in the background

Ah, the Hunter homeworld is a [[|Te|Gas Giant]]. Snow wouldn't form in the crushing atmosphere, and neither would glaciers. There's also the fact that Bungie have ''said'' that its on the [[Installation 04 (II)|new Halo. '''[[User:Specops306|<font color=purple>Specops306]]</font>''', '''''[[User talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora]]</font> [[Special:Contributions/Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 20:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind the fact that if you simply look up, you see Installation 04(II). [[User:XRoadToDawnX|XRoadToDawnX]] 00:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

== Auto turrets ==

On the map at the bottom of the avalanche page there are two equipment symbols which look likes the Auto Turret symbol from campaign but they might just be power drains. Can anyone else see what i'm typing about?--[[User:MAX1592|MAX1592]] 08:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about this turns out there just power drains.--[[User:MAX1592|MAX1592]] 09:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

this is big but small at the same time

== Moar Pictures! ==

Now that the map is released, I think we need more pictures, of the setup of the map and more vehicles, etc. Just no shakey-cam pictures, please.[[User:Bllasae|Bllasae]] 02:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

So did anyone figure out the supposed Hunter-Scarab link we were supposed to find?

:Make your own topic please.[[User:Bllasae|Bllasae]]

== ya ==

this map has made cft fun

== Hornet ==

I think they toned the machine gun damage abit too much. It takes longer to kill someone with a Hornet than a Banshee. But I'm happy about the missiles being removed. RadicalEdward2 22:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


== Overhaul ==

I am overhauling the Halo 3 level pages, I am getting rid of "Tips and Tricks" and putting in its place Strategies. And remember that "fun" facts about the level is to go into the Trivia section, and game play tips on betterment of online play goes into Strategies, I will also add a Forge section on GOOD ideas on how to forge the map. Things that would belong there would be stuff like: "Adding more Trip Mines on Sandtrap can take some of the focus off vehicle combat."  and "Adding Shield Doors in the walk ways on Guardian can help boost the need for tactics."

== Bungie's Chirstmas Wallpaper ==

Has anyone closely examined Bungie's Christmas wallpaper? The one with Avalanche. If you look closely in the lower right corner, you can see the hologram from Epitaph or something with a striking resemblance to it. It's right next to the Machine Gun Turret.
