Subject: longshore a dissappointment?

Don't get me wrong...It looks like a great map. I'm a BTB fan and I find longshore to be lacking in vehicles. All I've seen is a ghost. Last resort even has more vehicles than that... Even if it has nice forge capabilities which allows you to forge in tanks and heavy vehicles, there is still a lack of open space and it is easy to board vehicles due to the lack of open space, especially a tank. Discuss.... If you're an mlgtard who's going to say something like "omfg stfu vehicle nub" then get off my thread. BTB owns. In team flag this weekend I own 95% of the generals I face who are the indoor type of gamer and have no exp in BTB.

They said it will be vehicle heavy. You havent played it yet so dont jump to conclusions.

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

As agile as a cougar on a young man.

I liked it, I think those "crates/boxes" can be deleted in forge (big open courtyard!), and the bridge really impressed me. Hopefully you can lower it twice so it connects the roof of the little building to the ledge.

Even if they add vehicles, then the lack of open space will make vehicles highly ineffective. It's like Rat's Nest but more cramped...

There are about 25+ gameplay vids so I know the map layout very well.

The Ghost is the only vehicle, and even if more space can be created for extra vehicles in Forge, the default (MM) version will remain the same. Disappointing? Perhaps. Especially considering we didn't have a large BTB map in MMP1, but there's no doubt that it looks great, and it actually fills a niche that hasn't been dealt with before (large, vehicle-less), so it should be interesting.

PM me any Coup questions you have.

I see where you're coming from. In a way it is lacking those vehicles, but who know. Maybe Bungie will change the default map for MM to something else. We never know what they'll will be throwing our way.

If I were you, I'd edit the part about 'mlgtards' out of your OP. It'll only serve to alienate people.

Lolular!

I excepted a Relic remake, I was sad. Hopefully it will still be good.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Much smaller than the original screenshot lead me to believe.

Even so the map looks great, best of the three I'd wager.

I think you answered your own question OP. You seem upset at the lack of vehicles, then say it's easier to board vehicles on this map than others.

1+1=2

Not a lot of vehicles+on a map where hijacks are easy=Balanced map.

Looks like a good racing or Rocket Race map.

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

Personally, I was kind of hoping that if Bungie unveiled a last big map, then it would include a second appearance of the Elephant from Sandtrap. Just because those vehicles kind of made Sandtrap a very different map to play on. But it looks like that's not going to be the case.

Although I'm not really sure! Who knows? Maybe a BTB map without vehicles will be fun to play on! ^^

when i heard they were making ODST all i could think was "awesomeness would ensue!"

I think that Longshore is going to be a great! Who cares about the vehicles lacking it makes it sort of like the spartan laser on valhalla whoever gets it has an advantage but it can be countered rather easily. so no im dissapointed because of all the cool things in the map

I heard and saw the opposite, it would have some ghost, and mongooses, it doesn't seem like a vehicle heavy map.

There's not really a whole whack of space for vehicles to maneuver. A ghost is probably it ... maybe a mongoose. Doesn't bother me much.

I was hoping for a headlong map. It's smaller than how it appears in the screenshots. Oh, well. I'll just make due with it.

IGN said that there was only a Ghost on it for vehicles. There are 2 for symmetrical gametypes, but one for the asymmetrical.

Anyway, this belongs in the Halo 3 forum. While these maps are packaged with ODST, they are Halo 3 maps, and discussion of Halo 3 multiplayer goes in the Halo 3 forum.

THIS!
relic was my favorite DLC map, even beating out a community favorite turf (which i still loved).
and once i heard the name longshore i thought it had to be relic. dont get me wrong, this looks pretty fun but i was still highly disappointed

  • 08.16.2009 10:43 AM PDT

I think it will work fine with two ghosts to be honest.
You never know, they might do a 'heavies' version though.

I was hoping for a remake (or close to that) of Headlong when I saw the first screenshot on the 7/7, but was bitterly disappointed when I saw the gameplay videos. There's no room for Warthogs or anything. There's really nothing in the upcoming map pack that interests me at all.

omfg stfu vehicle nub.
Well that wasnt very nice.

But really, i dont think it would be a good map for vehicles. I think ghosts and gooses are all that would work on it.
