Subject: Citadel... Worst map yet?

I think it's going to be good: a symmetrical map, not too big. Great for some slayer or capture the flag.

Halo needs more big vehicle maps.

Wrong.

It might be fun to play, but the entire design of it reminded me of a rehashed campaign level. It's not visually pleasing at all, but it does look promising in the gameplay department.

I think Citadel is a waste of a map. It was ripped out of The Covenant, just metallic walls and ledges. Nothing special about it. But I love Longshore/Heretic!

Yes, and Ghost Town is taken straight from Seira 117, Valhalla from The Covenant, Sandtrap from The Ark, and Construct from The Ark.

Have you even watch the videos of the map? its only slightly based off of the covenant, just like how most maps are based on campaign levels, I mean this isn't CoD, the maps aren't just campaign cutouts.

whats wrong?

big vehicle maps: valhalla, sandtrap, avalanche, standoff, rats nest, and some sandbox variants...

small slayer maps: construct, gaurdian, the pit, snowbound, epitaph, assembly, orbital, foundry, cold storage, and some sandbox variants....

i do believe he is right...Halo does need more big vehicle maps.

An intelligent opinion.

No, we don't need many large maps. Halo has always had a big focus on big vehicle battles, but multiplayer usually focuses on small areana gameplay. But I do think Reach needs to ship with more Large maps than Halo 3, Halo 3 didn't ship with enough, but there are enough now, btw Longshore is a big map.... just not vehicle based.

So what if took parts from the campaign. They have been upfront about it. A bunch of interviews have Lars saying exactly that. But its not as simple as taking a space from campaign and letting you play in it, like some games do. I can bet you a hell of a lot of work was put into it.

And even then, so what? It looks great. And apparently it plays great. Its simplistic map design kinda reminds me of Hang Em High, which can only mean good things.

  • 08.17.2009 5:08 AM PDT

As a multiplayer map, it looks great. I think there will be fast paced and fluid combat. The aesthetics, well, looks like there aren't many new things.

I think Halo 3 needs more Urban maps. There are like No city maps what-so-ever. I think Midship will be the most popular, But LongShore is my Favorite right now.

In terms of aesthetics, it isn't particularly interesting, I confess (although I do like the lighting).

However, I think it looks a blast to play on.

TEAM Free For All? I can't wait to see how Bungie pulls this one off.

Yeah, it's awesome. Legendary Brawl is the world's only 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 team multiplayer experience.

I love it. Longhore will probably be my favorite, and Heretic... I dunno what to say about Heretic. Midship was fun for some of Halo 2, but it grew old. And Heretic looks just as stale.

Now, if they had slightly increased the size of things to make it more open, that'd be tons of fun!

technically you are paying for it, though I like to think that ODST is worth $60 alone. Oh and those idiots that are like "OMG ODST IS NOT WORTH $60!!!1!!" will have to pay for it when it comes onto the market place in like october or november.

  • 08.17.2009 6:13 AM PDT

I actually like how the map looks, as I love the whole Forerunner style of architecture.

Admin of Coup D Bungie

PM me any Coup questions you have.

That map looks decent. From the vids I've seen, it actually looks small. But if Bungie had people playing CTF on it, it can't be THAT small. Also, what I think would've enhanced this map, was if there were an elevator in the center, like in Campaign. The defensive team would be on the bottom, and the attacking from above. Now THAT would be fun!!

The map looks great. I don't see what all the hate is about. We should be grateful we're getting new maps at all, instead of bashing them saying how bad they are. I think it looks great, especially the addition of windows.

The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

In my opinion, it looks beautiful.

  • 08.17.2009 6:35 AM PDT

kyle

the map dont have to look pretty to get me to like it..... i watched this game play video on destructoid.com

http://www.destructoid.com/gameplay-footage-of-the-three-new-h alo-3-multiplayer-maps-144068.phtml

go there and check out all the maps if u havint already........ i think it looks like it has nice flow and would be great for any game type.
( i know this will make alot of ppl angry but this whole remake of midship...... WORST IDEA EVER!!!! to me midship was like the freaking snow bound of halo 2, no body wanted to run around on that stupid purple circle. that map was usless for everything but maybe swat every once in awhile.

  • 08.17.2009 6:37 AM PDT

I'am most excited for Citadel actually.

  • 08.17.2009 6:37 AM PDT

I like the way it looks.

Its very reminiscent of how the Forerunner's were when they lived.Everything was functional.They had little need for an art form,so far as we can see yet.

I happen to be looking forward to Citadel and Longshore.

Heretic can go suck it.It looks nice,but I hate that map.Flame me if you wish.lol

  • 08.17.2009 6:38 AM PDT

I have no signature... exept for this one...

Citadel looks like it'll play very well and offer some great experience and memories. I also love Forerunner art; looks epic and powerful to me. No boring about it at all. I actually very excited how the Sniper will play on this map too... :-k

I honestly think Heretic looks boring and will play bad, after I saw the videos of it. Purple is what I think of when see this map, and purple is not my colour. I don't want it remade; firstly because of the "Blackout fiasco"(Halo 2's gameplay is so much faster than Halo 3's), and secondly because of all the MLG people who cried about it.
