Is this more or less the Sword Base of the Anniversary Maps?

I'm noticing that it's all about the high ground where the overshield spawns. And that once you're stuck on the bottom you may as well quit out because the game is over.

Well it's not as campy.

once a team has the top you just sit there.

there's more camping than Sword Base by far.

this map is so bad it's literally insta-dashboard worthy from the lobby, lol

It is a terrible map.

I have no idea why 343 thought it would be a good idea to bring it back.

Prisoner's a good map that currently plays like crap in MM thanks to a botched respawn zone that makes everyone spawn on red side.

If you're having trouble playing on a particular map, then I suggest you play through it again, go to theatre and re-watch yourself and see where improvements can be made. This is where I go sometimes if I rage about it seeming "unfair".

Alternatively you could play Halo 1, 2, 3 and 3: ODST (On Legendary) to get some real practise.

Check out my file-share. I never got dominated on Solitary once. It is a fantastic map.

I think you lost because you didn't get enough kills.

  • 03.21.2012 5:47 AM PDT

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

I don't see it like that. I find most people fight on the bottom level.

Agreed.
Many times I have Spawned behind someone and assassinated them. Mostly giving me a kiljoy. Unorthodox but nevertheless it's wrong. Happens to me too so fairs fair I guess.

I don't need to play past Campaigns on Legendary to know that Solitary is a -blam!- map with a wack spawn system.

And my 1.8 K/D in it as a random suggests I don't struggle with it with my controller. I have no issues slaying.

If my team of thumbless morons doesn't get top control we're doomed, is my point. Especially with them controlling overshield up there.

And I don't know why you're acting like you could possibly be familiar with this scenario when you're busy playing FFA (melee'ing kids to death because you're terrible with guns) on the map which is an entirely different ball game.

I'm pretty sure, at this point, that it's the map I lose the most on is this entire game.

its a fantastic map that rewards map control, much like lockout did with either tower back in halo 2. The problem right now is the respawn system that causes everyone to spawn bottom floor below the overshield. Had spawns been moved to the other side of the map, i feel that this would be one of the better maps in reach.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

^ this - which is funny because the main issue with Sword Base is the unbalanced initial spawns (as opposed to Prisoner's unbalanced mid-game spawns) lol

Yeah that's about right, that map was made around 10 years i think and even then i'm pretty sure it's purpose was for 1v1's

  • 03.21.2012 3:57 PM PDT

It literally is sword base. I think sword base might be a half-assed remake of that map. lol

  • 03.21.2012 4:48 PM PDT

its so terrible.

Thanks.

lulz, just played this map half an hour ago.

Not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES a dude spawned directly behind me up top and either assassinated or beat me down instantly. I had rocks or snipes all three times, which basically went to the other team and we lost.

What a -blam!- joke.

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

So do people really hate maps that have any sort of vertical gameplay to it?

Guess I'll go ahead and break from the crowd by saying I like the map.

It's a good map, when the spawns aren't -blam!- you over.

Think about it. I had top control. Why the -blam!- are dudes spawning 3 feet behind me before I can even turn and do -blam!-?
