I love Valhalla! The name is a good choice because as far as I know Ragnarok has to do with Northern mythology,which Bungie/343 seems to like,they show it through various stuff like Valhalla or the Elephants named Leviathan and Behemoth or Mjnolnir which is Thor's hammer.
Seeing the namechange it probably won't be an 1 to 1 remake.

Unsure about the Mantis :?
antis what do you think about the mantis? :D

Ooh this makes me very excited. I do love me the halla of val - the site of my very first perfectable while driving. Many good memories and good times on this map with Wheelmen and OcR alike. I especially remember the shenanigan games on here during the new member Mondays of old.

I'd like to hear more about this "mantis" thing, this is news to me. I might have seen a screenshot of it but that's about all.

I've said it before, but I have not really been a fan of remakes in Halo. I like maps that are inspired by older maps, but are designed for the newer games. I like Avalanche, which I'm pretty sure was inspired by Sidewinder. I liked Guardian, but hated Blackout. I like Tempest. I don't like Reflection.

I'm just hoping that it isn't a pure remake.

OP Updated with a Ragnarock/Mantis(!) trailer.

Looks like it's confirmed that the Mantis will also be in matchmaking... and why not?

Ragnarock looks really sharp. It's a little hard to tell but I think some of the rocks around the bases look bigger for a little more cover.

Oh btw... 343 also posted a gallery of high res photos from Ragnarock. Here you go...

Maybe they're made bigger because of sprint and thrusterpack and stuff like that.
The Mantis looks very Powerfull and I hope you can destroy it at least as fast as he destroys the Tank, and I hope it's only for heavies.

Agreed, totally. If it's on every game/gametype it'll ruin the map. I'm down with the vanilla valhalla.

Glad to see the legend making a comeback. I just wish it plays well with the new settings, because some of the remakes in Reach we're a plain nono with the new mechanics and stuff.

Not sure about it, seems like something straight out of Star Wars. >_> But I guess it's lethal, looks bad ass and delivers t-bags of justice upon the unworthy, as it should be.

When I saw the Mantis, I thought of the Mechassault games with big, human-piloted robots. While I enjoyed piloting the Mechs in that game, I enjoyed making them 'asplode even more. ::twisted::

I have to agree with Sarge here, pure remakes has usually ended badly in the Halo series. Valhalla worked because it wasn't a pure remake of Bkood Gulch, it was made to fit the Halo 3 gameplay.

And the Mantis looks overpowered as all hell, it better be easy to destroy.

The time has come, and so have I

Here's a mantis analysis, spawning with a PP will be the rule then when this thing is around.
