Part of the Halo CE experience was the environments and the visuals that made it such a successful game. One of the memorable moments i remember is exploring that huge cruiser known as the Truth and Reconcilliation.
I feel that in multiplayer, the game has been lacking in Covenant themed maps.
Halo CE had only 1 covenant map, Damnation. While i feel that this map deserves a remake, and that it still has time to be put in the Halo:Reach retail game, i feel that it wont get much attention :(
Halo 2 had only 2 Covenant maps, the infamous Midship and Gemeni.
Now on to Halo 3... lets compare and see what we got... (including the maps in ODST)
Human/UNSC themed:
1) Blackout
2) Foundry
3) Ghost Town
4) High Ground
5) Last Resort
6) Longshore
7) Orbital
8) Rats Nest
9) Standoff
10) The Pit
Forerunner:
1) Avalanche
2) Citadel
3) Construct
4) Cold Storage
5) Epitaph
6) Guardian
7) Isolation
8) Narrows
9) Sandbox
10) Sandtrap
11) Valhalla
Covenant:
1) Assembly
2) Heretic
3) Snowbound
Before we go any further, please dont flame about "Oh Sandtrap is Brute" or "Isolation is Flood" Because Bungie once stated something along the lines (in a bungie update) of "The artists have the unique experience of having 3 different types of architecture to work with"
Theres something wrong here. The map pallete should be a little more balanced out. While i know that Halo Reach will have atleast 1 covenant map or 2, theres still time for atleast 2 more maps to be produced.
Lets make it happen Bungie.
