Subject: What did you think about the map packs?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Heroic:
This was a pretty good map pack.
Standoff seemed lop-sided with too little ranged weapons. Awesome for BRs though.

Rats Nest was my favorite here! It was long ranged, short ranged, technical, and had vehicles! Loved it!
Finally, Foundry original was horrid. Brute Shots, Snipers, shotgun, a rocket. Too many power weapons! It had some gnarly FFAs.

Legendary:
This was one of those, "it wouldn't have mattered if it were made or not."

Blackout: I was never really a fan of Lockout, but this map had its goods and its bads. However, I found it too awkward to move around.

Avalanche: I liked this map, but really, you could cut away over half of it and the no one would have noticed it. The main battle area was the very centre. I found little incentive to move around.

Ghost Town: Probably my favorite map from the pack. It was really fun and beautiful to navigate. It flowed pretty well and made for some great infection games.

Cold Storage: It was free and it was probably the best FFA map out there!

Mythic 1:

Orbital: I liked this map, it was a decent Objective type map but it didn't come up enough.

Assembly: Meh. That's all I can really say. It's a good team map, but nothing really else. Just, it's alright.

Sandbox: One of the best maps. I have had more fun with this open environment than I have with all of Forge World! Sure it's harder to make, but that's what gave it its charm. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said.

Mythic 2:
Heretic: Another Halo 2 remake. I did like this one but it broke my heart. The top floor didn't bounce! Still, the map played as I remembered it.

Citadel: Man, my favorite DLC map yet. It was so small, but felt massive. The team games were tense and tactical. Snipers made rocket grabbing close, and the shotguns were over looked by many, making it ripe for the picking.

Longshore: Something about this map didn't play right with me. It just, did not seem to flow, but it wasn't bad. I liked playing infection with it, but that was about it.

What are your thoughts about the map packs?

Junior Dos Santos, know the name, he's the future.

BLACK POWER!

I'm not going to go into detail but...

Heroic or gtfo (every map was good). The rest sucked ass.
