It looks like the spot in halo 2 on the level delta halo with all the drones and jackals with sniper rifles. and this awesome song.

yeah halo 2 is easily one of my favorite games. It might have been one of the best games ever, if not for the rather abrupt ending and technical bugs :/

Am I wrong in thinking that it's just one big waterfall with some natural bridges between itself and the camera?

[–]xb4r7x 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's one waterfall that has eroded the ground everywhere except where those three 'natural bridges' are...

This can be found in Halo3. Can't remember the level, but I know it had a lot of jackals with snipers in it.

[–]andersoncoopersboner 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're probably right, but for some reason I feel like it was halo 2. But there were a shit ton of Jackals.

First thing that came to my mind.... is a World of Warcraft level. I think it was a WOTLK zone prior to a cave which held 3 dungeons. One of the instances was a Crypt Lord final boss on a platform....Thank God, since I have quit and as of yesterday uninstalled the game from my computer!

[–]DanielKlavitz 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It sorta reminded me of the falls in Maraudon but I don't recall any WotLK zones that resemble this area.

No. This picture is proof that no living creature has ever seen or will ever see this in person.

[–]cocoric 1 point2 points ago

Yes yes! This is close to my hometown in Northern Lebanon. It's very nice, at the end of the winter, the flow of water is much stronger. You can stand on the middle bridge and look down. It's very cool.

[–]benigma 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

so cool, cocoric! do you think you could send me a link in google maps where the waterfall is? seems like a "life list" place.

[–]cocoric 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Here are the coordinates on Google maps.

34.174557, 35.870029

It should definitely be on your life list, there's so much beautiful nature to discover in Lebanon!

Considering how this is located in Lebanon, I'm guessing the word Balaa means "drain".

Egyptian here.

[–]cocoric 0 points1 point ago

It comes from the word balou3, which I believe means sinkhole.

[–]chronicvermont 1 point2 points ago

reminds of a level in Halo2. Or was it Halo 1. idk, but it had tons of jackals sniping you and a 3 level similar area with an energy sword hiding at the very bottom.

It's even more beautiful in early spring when all the snow is melting. You can see the water vapour from miles away. What's even cooler is that the water flows into an underground river.
