I am glad someone finally posted on this, I've played Halo for a little over a year, on XBC and we pretty much have LAN parties every night and no, we don't play big maps or -blam!- games like CTF at BG with all vehicles, that is for NOOBS. Guru, you are an idiot and if you're saying someone doesn't have skills to compete in large maps you're a moron, it requires much more skill to fight someone on a small map than a huge map. On Blood Gulch a noob can go grab a sniper and sit there the whole game, taking out the other unskilled players until a good player takes him out, but on a map like Prisoner if they try that they'll be wacked in no time.
Plus, who gives a damn about the banshees? I know no good players, tournament players, or anyone who respects the game of Halo are looking more forward to the stupid vehicles than the new weapons and maps. I personally hope Bungie realizes that the players that matter, the good players, don't want all huge maps. Halo PC was trash because all they did was put in large maps and overpowered weapons, but I do know Bungie did not make the mods to Halo PC, Gearbox (s.hitbox) did it.
Every map requires patience in its own way, to be in postion to get the powerups when they spawn, to be able to grab the rocket or sniper.. small maps require team strategy.. large maps require things you learn when you're just a noob. SO.. I hope they don't put many large maps in Halo 2, Halo: CE rocked because of the great smaller and midsize maps, not because of crap like the overrated BG and Sidewinder. And oh yeah, Chiron isn't as small as most maps, it's just it's a lot of portals. It's also crap.
One more thing, the people who want huge maps and more vehicles are the same n00bs who say the pistol is too powerful, they are players who opinions mean crap to me.
PS: I love Boarding Action for sniper battles, 4v4 there all snipers is a great game to tone up your sniping skills. Yes it's been played at big tournaments, it was a Finals game between StK and TDT.
