Subject: Asphalt.. Opinions?

I played it for the first time today.. I prefer it over Craigmire. Craigmire appears to be strewn with random weapons. Asphalt is somewhat OK in my opinion. I think it would be better without heavies though.

TL;DR: It isn't bad, just not up to the caliber of some maps that haven't been put in MM.

Cragmire is the worst. It's like 343 ate Forge World's vehicle pallet, sat on top of the spire, and crapped it all out onto the ground randomly.

I loved Asphalt though. Vehicles on the ground, infantry on the top, and fun everywhere. They didn't do much to break up the mass of grey though.

Seems like most of B'net hates it.. I agree on the Craigmire thing though.. I found like 4 different rocket lawnchairs?

IMO it's the worst btb map, it's so crammed, tight spaces except middle and feels like one big cluster -blam!-. The worst part is when you're in a wraith/revenent and you randomly commit suicide, it's a common glitch on the map and needs to be fixed or taken out of MM.

Played 1 match on Cragmire, it didn't flow well at all. I don't know what it was but I hated it. I didn't keep track but I did have a decent amount of rocket ammo the whole time though.

I'm not sure why they hate it, but someone will be in here shortly to tell you I'd imagine.

EDIT: And they have. I didn't get in the Wraith or Revenant the whole game, but that's a fixable glitch. For me the map flowed pretty well.

I camped the hell out of the middle in Cragmire. The sniper spawns so quick, I didn't want to leave.

There it is.. I don't typically use vehicles. It flowed well as an infantry player.

Where the teleporter is sitting on the second floor of the Spire.

Bingo. I got tossed out of it when I didn't grab the rocket launcher. Guy with a jetpack kept me out for the rest of the match. :(

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Sucks.

The random suicide glitch and frame rate lag on that map sucks.

It's like putting vehicles on Guardian.

Lightspeed is good for gameplay. Quiet.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I'm not a fan of the Heavy maps.

Oh do I! I've always wondered why it exists. Why didn't we just build vehicles that fit the earth? Isn't it twice the work, to lay asphalt, and make tires for it
