I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

I think this could be the worst map-pack yet. I use the word 'worst' comparatively to the high standard of previous maps.

  • 08.16.2009 11:32 AM PDT

Yeah I was a little disapointed when it wasn't a huge map. I was also thinking that, oh theres only one vehicle and theres not much room. I think I'd still use the ghost a lot though cause I like vehicles.

  • 08.16.2009 11:33 AM PDT

Are you kidding? Longshore's the only one that ISN'T a dissapointment. The other 2 are terrible, and are a COMPLETE waste of what could've been 2 AMAZING last maps. Longshore's got no problems by me.

worst? the only bad map i've seen from mythic is assembly, but having just one map like sandbox makes it a good map pack at the least

I partially agree with your Statement. I like Midship but preferred some other maps (Relic, Headlong, Waterworks, anyone?) that could have been remade.

Citadel doesn't excite me, they just copied and pasted a room from campaign and said "This is a map". I can hardly contain my excitement. =/

Exactly. Citadel could've been Headlong, and I would've been able to just forget about the worthlessness of Heretic. But no, Bungie must obey MLG. MUST MAKE/DO EVERYTHING TO PLEASE MLG MASTERS.

Yes i too am bit dissapointed by the maps, considering they are the last maps :( could of gave us want we really wanted. But no i am starting to think Bungie are always sucking upto MLG......

Midship looks great , citadel looks copied and pasted nothing spectacular by the looks of it, but who knows might play well, but longshore i really thought it would be a awesome remake of headlong.....but ended up some fish factory.

looks ok, but Headlong or relic or terminal would be much better. Headlong is a huge map, has banshee , ghost , warthog the lot. i see where the OP is coming from only a Ghost, what was meant to be filling the gap for the largest map seems to be abit cramped?

Bungie if you cant come up with great new maps, then you could atleast remake the great ones from Halo 2. but yes by far the worst map pack.

  • 08.16.2009 11:51 AM PDT

out of all the maps this is one im really looking forward to playinng....

  • 08.16.2009 11:53 AM PDT

Well I guess I better put some pants on.

I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!

It's too small.

  • 08.16.2009 12:01 PM PDT

Vehicles do not make BTB.

  • 08.16.2009 12:02 PM PDT

Glad to see so many like minded players =p. And BTB is basicly the only playlist where vehicles are heavily relied upon. Also the only playlist that has tanks. I'm also glad to know others recognize the fact that Bungie is making all these small indoor maps for the mlgtards. One upside to the map is that I see great potential in it for infection gametypes.

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


where are these vids that u speak of?
oh and are you sure they don't have a warthog or 2 hidden somewhere?

I don't know about Heretic, I never played Halo 2 much. Citadel looks great, for smaller games. Longshore doesn't dissapoint at all. It's good to have a BTB map, that isn't vehicle dominted. It's the most original map in Halo 3.

I hope there are mongooses...

It is not a dissapointment yet. Actually few people know if it truly is dissapointing or not.

.

well you havnt played it but, i dont think a tank would do too well considering the flag spawns. but a warthog or two, maybe a transport hornet sicne its open air and some prowlers.

and BTW i think it looks great.
just cause you play MLG doesnt mean you hate vehicles.

Doesn't really matter in my opinion, I'm a great ghost driver anyway fine with me.

  • 08.17.2009 1:25 AM PDT

I like the idea of a fairly large map with a lack of vehicles.

  • 08.17.2009 1:57 AM PDT

Maybe a chopper could work in the map, but it would probably OP the other vehicles??

I beleive there are two ghosts, but ghosts are the only vehicles. Given the space in the map, ghosts are the perfect vehicle.

"Gaming is having a ridiculously huge TV in a tiny one room apartment. It's staying up until 3 a.m. to win a trophy that isn't real...but is. And though we may pledge fanboy allegiances to different flags, deep down inside, we all serve one master, one king, and his name is gaming! Forever may he reign!"

your logic makes no sense to me!

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.
