Blood gulch was not a good map for online play, and only worked well with long drawn out LAN matches. FACE IT- its never coming back

Never cared for Midship to begin with; too cramped and boring for my tastes. I've also read that Citadel is supposed to be a smaller map while Longshore may be a successor to Headlong.

As for the whole Blood Gulch debate, not only do we had Valhalla as a spiritual successor to Blood Gulch, but we also have Avalanche which is supposed to represent Sidewinder. Personally, I'd rather Bungie make whole new maps with new themes and battle tactics instead of going back to older ones and borrowing similar map designs.

I'm sorry but I haven't liked any "Spiritual Successor" that has come out.

Midship was an amazing map for competitive play. I know a lot of non competitive people who love midship as well though. I think it was a great choice.

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

And they got one: Assembly.

  • 06.11.2009 9:17 PM PDT

Blood Gulch's replacement was Valhalla. MLG and the general public wanted Midship, it's awesome for MLG, SWAT, and Flag.

The main question is, why not Midship?

Yeah, cept Assembly is in no way remotely similar to Midship, other than the fact it's symmetrical and has two bases.

Have you ever PLAYED Midship?


Midship is amazing, hopefully Heretic will be too.

HEretic has really big shoes to fill.

Yes I have, And i was using his logic. vahalla is just of a remake of blood glutch as assembly is of midship.

I'd say that if you took the middle tower out of Assembly, then maybe it would resemble Midship a little more.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Many people have asked for Midship also. Pay a little more attention. Also, we have like, what, five different spiritual successors to Blood Gulch?

Cause you can fall off the map in Midship? Good job.

They play way too differently for it to be even considered a spiritual predecessor of Midship.

But they arent blood gultch, like I said the maps that are "Spiritual successors" are bad.

I'm on your side though Midship FTW

I know what you're getting at, but what about Avalanche and Sidewinder? Avalanche is considered a spiritual successor of Sidewinder, and both have huge differences b/w each other that effect gameplay

  • 06.11.2009 9:38 PM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

Assembly already plays in a very similar way to Midship. You have the open area in the middle, and the sloping, close quarter edges of the map.

Lol, you're confusing.

In my honest opinion, Blood Gulch is just too plain simple. Valhalla and Standoff, now those are some two pretty cool maps.

I agree some general ideas are similar but the two maps play way too differently

What is Lockerz? Read the FAQ!

Because Midship was an amazing competitive map, and probably the second most requested remake(After Blood Gulch).

I try

Vahalla is too different though, when played by skilled players vahalla is all about Top control. There was no top in Blood Gultch. There were strategic positions with certain weapons (aherm snipers) It was a great Standoffish type map. ( not referring to the H3 map) It was like no other in terms of vehicular carnage. Everyone fought for the rockets in the middle to take out the other vehicles. Camo was important. Among other things that separate Blood Gultch/Coag as the defining Big team Map.

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.


I find that midship was great for CTF so I disagree. Also I hated blood gulch and I don't like MLG all that much since it doesn't make any sense. (Rockets and mauler makes you pro?)
