Subject: Thought on the new anniversary playlist?

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Hi.
What are your thoughts on the new anniversary playlist? I personally love the maps, as they have exceptional graphics. However, I don't like the new three shot magnum. I got really used to the damage quantities in the old matchmaking, but I am having a bit of a tough time getting used to the pistol damage increase, and the weaker pummel. However, with time, I hope to become more used to it.

I love the pistol in Anniversary Classic. I'm not a fan of Prisoner or Damnation despite them looking really good.

My favorite map would be Timberlands in BTB.

Solitary/Prisoner is revolting.

Battle Canyon is tolerable.

Hang Em High/High Noon is frustrating at best in anything other than a 4v4, for a multitude of reasons I'm not going to list because it should be obvious.

Headlong/Breakneck and Timberland/Ridgeline are enjoyable maps and I much prefer the Anniversary BTB playlist for map playability/fun/etc.

Damnation isn't as good as it used to be. :(

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Fun fun fun.

Yeah, I gotta say, I love ridgeline and battle canyon, my new favs

Forklifts never die. They're just missing in Forge.

I don't like Solitary/Prisoner at all. Battle Canyon/Beaver Creek is fine, and Hang em High/High Noon isn't really good for BTB. Never really played on Penance/Damnation, so I can't really say.

Love Headlong/Breakneck. I like Timberland/Ridgeline, but it usually turns into a sniper battle, which makes me sadface.

I suck with the new pistol.

I knew they'd make the pistol three shot for anniversary. Love it. Breakneck is the best big team map in reach now.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Love the new settings, feels like Halo.

Fair play

It's FFA is unbalanced, because of it having objectives and zombies in it.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Prisoner isn't inherently bad, but the spawn system...

  • 12.11.2011 1:07 PM PDT

The worst map of the bunch is solitary, yet it is better than all default Reach maps.

All the maps are better than default maps. The settings are better than default. Prisoner needs its spawns fixed though. My only complaint.

  • 12.11.2011 1:11 PM PDT

I like generally all the maps, Especially Ridgeline. And I dislike the new magnum.

I am getting better at Prisoner, and just got a perfection before on Battle canyon classic.

The map would be fine if they removed the spawns on the third floor. Nobody should ever spawn on OS. Prisoner was about spawning on the first or second floor, then fighting your way up to the top. The added space on the fourth floor is too isolated from the bottom levels to be of much value. Finally, jetpack breaks it worse than any other map.

There's still the problem of only spawning on one side of the map. You can only spawn on Red side. The only variation is how high your spawn is.

Why would 343i put the spawns on only one side? The map would be fine if the third floor spawns were removed and the bottom two floor spawns were mirrored on blue side.

Most of the areas in the new dlc maps are scaled 4 pistol combat to win
I was hoping for a more odst firefight feel, and only one map sucks with no limited firefight sucks.

There are spawn points on both sides, but only red side's get used for some reason. Everyone thinks it's a misplaced spawn zone.

It is funny that something so minor can completely destroy the integrity of a map.

I hate the pistol not because it's 3sk but because of the damn bloom.
