Subject: Thoughts on Reflection

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

-David (Drake)

Opinions anyone? Review the whole map experience, not just certain gametypes. Any good Reflection memories out there?

Personally, I don't like the map. Weapons suck, so do starting spawns. I find it frustrating to play Snipers or SWAT on it, it sucks for infection, FFA spawns are ridiculously unfair, and Team Games all bottleneck in the long hallway from shotty side to double-lift side.

Horrid.

Horrid.
The wooded floors mean nades stick to them, which is retarded.
Too many power weapons. Most actions occurs around the top corridor meaning alot of the map is unused in 4v4 games.
It promotes camping, the main elevator can be glitchy
I honestly don't like it.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

The map had a lot of potential. I remade every map, and for Reflection, I used MLG's clever idea of putting Red and Blue spawn behind the doorways of the top corridor. I'm surprised it never got changed that way or some other way. Moving spawns to be symmetrical doesn't take much imagination.

A previous post of mine:

Reflection: Above average. I have mixed feelings towards the map. Blue gets sword and sniper (Assuming blue isn't too slow and red dosen't jet to sniper first). Red gets shotty and rockets. The map really boils down to who gets the top and then holds it the best. Power weapons (maybe the sword as an exception) pass hand to hand quickly. Layout makes the sniper worthless. The natural destination is obviously the top, and its pretty much a bloodbath there. No other point seems super valuable to keep then maybe the lift on the top floor. Overall, its OK besides some one-sided spawns and weapons, otherwise could be a great map.

It's an asymmetrical map. HUGE red advantage. <---Biggest reason of dislike right there....

It's an interesting environment though.

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 ass.

It is the worst map ever made ever.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I remember thinking how much better Ivory Tower in Halo 2 was...

Spawn red.


Pretty much my only thoughts.

  • 07.12.2012 7:43 PM PDT

i don't like it, because everyone always goes to the top and ignores the rest of the map.

  • 07.12.2012 7:52 PM PDT

If i could describe reflection by using 1 word it would be

Annoying

top 10 reasons why i hate it.

1)Spawns are horrible,

2)Map pretty much unused since everyone camps or trys to camp at the top of the map.

3)Horrible for Infection, Swat, Team Slayer, Team Snipers and whatever else there is except elite slayer.

4)If the entire team camps up there everyone guards one spot the 2 hallway's, Elevator and 4th person just shoots from the edge.

5) if somebody has his hands on the sword its really hard to stop him unless with a rocket launcher/ sticky grenades

6)in infection if your a zombie it is really hard to kill a human if the humans are on the top


7) To much turn's climbing etc.

8) Holds my worst gaming memories and it continues to do that

9) I hate it

10) I hate it


I couldnt think of anymore reasons for 9 and 10 so yeah lol.

Not fun. Everything happens in the sniper hallway. I did like it for MLG one flag though, the action was more spread out. So I guess it's alright for one sided objective and maybe oddball or something

No, they're both awful.

Debating on which one is worse is stupid. They're both bad, who cares which is worse?

And to all the people saying Ivory Tower was better: no, it wasn't. It was awful back then too.
