I used to think it was just Camp Base but no i think its more about map control more than anything
Correct.

However 1 team spawns with instant map control and 3 power weapons.

I mean, really Bungie? Did you even think when you made these maps?

Red team gets:

1. High ground
2. Grenade Launcher
3. Sniper
4. Shotgun

Blue team gets the low ground a sword.

Makes sense.

Sword base is not the worst map. And objective I think was a good 3 kid even though he went negative. I don't know any of the other randoms. But that one Aniversary map is much worse than sword base.
I've dicked everyone on the red team on a fair map.

They loadfailured us twice for 2 flag slayer on Zealot and Asylum, then picked SB on us.

They're bad.


I said as in objective in halo 3. That's an entirely different ball game than reach. The other kids are complete randoms.

Wow, there really is a lot more flaming on this forum than on Halo Waypoints... Anyway, sword base is unblaned yes, but there are worse maps.

Most of those maps are fixable. Sword Base, by default, isn't.


I think it is quite possible to fix the map. But it would need some major adjustment starting with yellow lift being moved to a floor down.

It's unfixable by default (as far as Forge is concerned) because one team will always have the advantage. If you keep Red where they are, they're looking down at blue and have access to all the power weapons. If you spawn Red one floor down, they can still use Yellow lift to regain the height advantage and have easy Sprint access to GL (which can be removed) and red lift (which can't be removed without blocking it, and I'm not sure it would benefit the entire map to completely block it).


Oh no I agree by default the map is done. But if they re-made the map with adjustments to make it equal. I'm sure it would be good.

if they remade the map, it should be a smaller version of Boarding Action with Symmetrical bridges and possibly a floor.
