Subject: Why Midship?

/">

Now that (unfortunetly) Heretic's been confirmed as Midship, why? So many more people have asked, begged, and demanded for Blood Gulch. And wouldn't Bungie go for the more popular demand, instead of the small population of MLG? (And so on).

So I'm asking, which one would you rather? The fun-for-everyone Blood Gulch? Or the not-fun-for-everyone-but-Slayer-fans.

We already have a blood glutch remake: Valhalla. The MLG people requested a remake of Midship.

It would just be too similar to Valhalla in pretty much every way.

Valhalla is better than Blood Gultch. I do hope the other two maps are BTB maps though.

  • 06.11.2009 5:33 PM PDT

Yeah, Im happy with Valhalla (actually like it a bit more than Coagulation/Blood Gulch). Only thing I really miss from Coag is the look of a Banshee flying out of the underground- I just think its cool how it it was like an underground/burrow/dug-out area that a fighter would exit, just so stlyish and, er, sexy.

  • 06.11.2009 5:34 PM PDT

You know, I'm sad it's midship because I never really saw what was so fun about that map in the first place, and I feel like Bungie should maybe come up with new ideas rather than rehashing an idea they had 5 years ago, they are better than that.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

What is it with everybody and their love for this plain, sandy, boring map. Valhalla is ten times better, but even so, you have to complain don't you?

Don't you understand? Blood Gulch wasn't a fantastic map! It was one of the best of the H:CE and H2 lot, but no where near as good as the maps we have in Halo 3 today. It was average, plain and lacking in true development. If you care about you classic Blood Gulch so much, you may as well play in the bottom of Sandbox, its hardly much different.

Midship, however, was a fantastic map, with actual thought and design put into its creation. It was thoorughly tested and, most importantly, thoroughly enjoyable.

If you think that, you can't have the Mythic map pack. If you do, then you're just blind. Or an idiot. Either way, you're completely wrong.

If by almost every way you mean they are both purple then yes.

  • 06.11.2009 5:44 PM PDT

Just send me a FR if you want to play.

I play any playlist, and most customs, unless your version of infection sucks.

You can also play Halo on both.

Hm...I don't know why either. I didn't like it in Halo 2, so I really didn't want it remade.

  • 06.11.2009 5:46 PM PDT

Midship is my favorite map, Blood Gulch is not. There are plenty of other vehicle based big maps in H3 (Valhalla, Sandbox, Sandtrap, Avalanche, Stand Off, heck, even Rats Nest to a lesser extent), I want more cramped quarters maps.

No, not even close. There only similarities are the themes.

  • 06.11.2009 6:01 PM PDT

Love's Halo:CE and H3. Castlevania games FTW!
Never let anyone bring you down in life, do the right thing...

To me, Valhalla doesn't feel anything like Blood Gulch, I just wish they could remake the map... =(

  • 06.11.2009 6:04 PM PDT

Donuts > all other food

First of all: Valhalla > Blood Gulch

Second of all: Why the want of so much remakes? I want some new, original maps.

Lastly: If any remakes, I want "Hang 'Em High" back from Halo: CE. I <3 that map.

I much prefer getting Midship than Blood Gulch, because we already have spiritual successors to Blood Gulch in Halo 3, namely Valhalla and Standoff.

I honestly don't understand why people are fixating so much on BG, or any of the old maps for that matter. I much prefer getting new maps than remakes, but if there should be some, then give me some Midship, Ascension, Backwash, Waterworks, Warlock, Turf, Headlong, Terminal, Gemini way above and beyond Blood Gulch, thank you very much.

i'm sorry, but your right, i hated midship, outright hated it. it was small, cramped, and you could always see the other players. But if you like it, that's good. I mean, i'm not speaking for everybody. Anyways i felt assembly was a close enough remake for me, circular, a top platform with a lower one. I pretty much felt that assembly had inspiration from midship and i feel that bungie could've taken a twist to the normal, circular covenant maps and make the map heretic have something independent from the normal covenant maps like a covenant Orbital or The Pit . . . just a thought, all the covenant maps just seem like circles to me . . .

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

I don't know how many times Bungie has to say they are not making Blood Gulch. Get OVER it... Please. Midship was an alright map, its something Halo 3 is lacking. Halo 3 lacks the Arena style maps.

Because Halo 3 is lacking in small, fast-paced arena style maps, while it has large, wide open BTB-style maps in spades. I assume Bungie was trying to kill two birds with one stone, bring back Midship (which was a Top 3 on 95% of the "what remakes do you want" posts that I saw) and add another arena map. Also, Midship was one of the best designed multiplayer maps in Halo history, in my opinion, second only to Hang Em High.
