Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Except again, you're wrong.
Not really. Halo maps have always been designed a certain way. Again, had AA's not been a prospect in the game, there would be no need to create maps that facilitate their use without breaking gameplay.
I understand that map design is the primary problem with jetpacks as they are, but there would be no need for map design catered to AA's if they weren't introduced in the first place. They could have just stuck to the original formula of making Halo maps and left AA's out. Instead, they didn't and we've seen the result.
Oh Jesus Christ.
"They could have left AAs out."
You do realize map design would have changed if say, Rockets were never introduced, or the Wraith, or the Battle Rifle, right?
Rockets have always been in Halo.
Just like a utility weapon.
Just like a tank, even if the Wraith's gameplay differed from the Scorpion's
I don't remember a Battle Rifle being in Halo CE. Nor do I remember a SMG, or a Mongoose, or a Specter, etc.
If you don't think they took the Battle Rifle into account and made proper changes to Halo 2 maps, you don't know much about map or game design.
The pistol was your utility weapon. It filled the niche of the BR for CE. The assault rifle behaved very similarly to Halo 2's SMG. The Spectre was nothing more than the Covenant equivalent of the Warthog, and the Mongoose was a fast reconnaissance vehicle like the Ghost was supposed to be, only the Mongoose doesn't shoot. Again, just a counterpart for the opposite faction.
