Abridged says hi
Sorry I couldn't hear you from all the way across Infinity. ;D


I lol'd

I hate that map though. Played it in Halo PC a while back and it was just Banshee whore after the next. You're pretty much screwed if a Banshee comes up behind you.

You're all wrong.

Hugeass was the best BTB map.

Reach would be much better with Halo 3's vehicle health system but that's about it.

On a serious note on Custom Edition maps

CMT Snowgrove was the best Custom map in Custom Edition. It played amazingly in CTF and Slayer. I wish it had been official and could have been remade.

Keeping the Banshee the same, along with keeping vehicle physics.

TBH I actually prefer Reach's Banshee and tanks. It feels right that the most damaging vehicles are the most fragile. But light vehicles and the Falcon definitely need to be able to take a bit more punishment.

Reach's Wraith and Scorpion are much better I agree. But the hog, goose, and ghost were better in H3.

And Chopper > Revenant

There's a reason why the Banshee is made of paper.

And it wouldn't have had to become a glass cannon if they hadn't made it's bomb stronger and given it faster flips.

Yeah because it's not a problem at higher level play. The Banshee is fragile and that balances the killing power well in my opinion.

As for the Chopper; that was an overpowered vehicle. I still feel it could exist alongside the Revenant though as the Revenant differs in that it has a passenger seat, long term boost, and is great at flipping things.

That's why H2 still has the best BTB maps.

A lot of the maps weren't really balanced well. Gephy was also a Banshee harlot fest, and Blood Gulch was a "tanks sniping across the map from behind the bases" erm, fest. The odd thing is none of that really bothered me that much, and still doesn't frustrate me as much as Reach BTB does. I just don't know why *shrugs*.

The Chopper already destroys the Warthog in Halo 3. Imagine those cross map shells hitting the Reach Hog and subsequently sending that Hog into space.

I had to look Hugeass up. My god, a Pelican map. Glorious.

But is it better for gameplay than the Halo 3 Banshee was at high level play?

You could shoot the driver out a of a Chopper though.

Map quality for BTB has been pretty poor since Halo 2 anyway. The only one that really stands out as good was Standoff. Avalanche was competitive, but very slow paced (The Pit of BTB basically), and Valhalla is just your typical linear canyon map, except it was redeemed by the LoS blockers that is the hill.

I'm hoping that Halo 4 has a single shot hitscan BR, fairly solid vehicles, and well designed maps.

But the DMR is part of what ruins BTB, and without DMR starts BTB in Reach is broken.

BR spread > DMR hitscan

I know I'll get flamed for it, but they're both random in their own ways and at least the BR spread allowed for better map movement.

Arguably not.

As for the Chopper: you can shoot the driver out of a Revenant too.

@ Pepsi: Fair point. I'm assuming the Chopper would have received similar nerfs to everything else in Reach though.

BR spread was awful. Seriously awful.

It made movement possible simply because it made it impossible for people to punish you for stupid movement.

If I could I'd happily play BTB with no bloom, it's not broken, just different.

So we might as well just start with snipers that do 25% damage (4 shots to kill) to punish every possible wrong choice in movement
