Subject: why are the anniversery maps not as exciting as they looked

the trailer for multiplayer was beast, but now you got all these new players, and campers playing it, not to mention the fact that almost all the anniversery maps are small maps. Has anyone else figure this out?

The maps need to be in a more competitive environment.

i.e. a more balanced type of gameplay. Many of those maps were fun because picking up things like the Plasma Rifle was something you wanted to do.

Everybody wants some.

It's not the maps themselves, rather it's the people who play it. If people are going to camp their base on Battle Creek CTF, it will slow down the game, at least compared to the trailer.

Campers huh? I'm pretty sure protecting your flag isn't camping. Sitting in 1 spot in Slayer is camping. Maybe if you didn't run a bee-line to our flag, you wouldn't get destroyed so much. Also, just because we killed you from a distance and you didn't see where it came from, doesn't make it camping either.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Breakneck, Ridgeline, and High Noon aren't small maps. And that's 3 out of 6, which is half of the Multiplayer maps. Your post is invalid.

What do you mean they're not exciting, Ridgeline is the best map ever! AND YOU CAN FORGE TREES!

I disagree, I love Ridgeline and Breakneck. But that's my opinion.

They should actually try and fix the problems with Reach rather than tossing in things from previous Halos to try and make it better. Old Halo gameplay and mechanics will never work right with duuurReach.

But, eh, what can ya do? At least it's not default Reach.
