A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Shatter: Lots of cover and ways to move around on large map: Green everywhere.

Crash or whatever: Reminds me of Sandtrap and has a kick ass aesthetic. See: Lots of cover and ways to move around on large map.

Harvest: See above. Aestheically reminiscent of Reach's Boardwalk, which is one of the game's better maps considering Reach.

Further more, the playlist is 6v6... On appropriately sized maps. Nothing crap like Complex or Ragnarock either. Furthermore, most people got it for free.

So, what's the problem with 3, quite frankly, -blam!- awesome maps? I might as well have downloaded the Heroic maps again, because that's what it feels like. 6v6 CTF on the Sandtrap one is great.

For me, there's too much damn glare.

You listed them. Too much cover and too big. Also, Boardwalk was awful.

Well... the player count is still capped at 16 players. No new gametypes, no new weapons, no new vehicles, no new armor... it's a waste of $10, really.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Maps are huge, cluttered, and have poor flow. Every single piece of the map seems disjointed. It's like they just threw a bunch of crap all over the place and called it a map.

yeah this reminds me of the time i got sent to jail for stealing crocs from target becozs i wanted all of the colors because i only got the green wons for my birthday and i wanted more ;)

Hopefully the next map pack has some decent 4v4 and FFA maps.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

This is a bad thing. I bought the pack for 800msp, only for it to become free an hour later. Microsoft is bad.

Wait, when was cover a bad thing? The distances between corridors are short enough to run through, and the sight lines are good. The small areas have multiple entrances to bounce grenades off of. They're 6v6 maps with vehicles and they're great for that. The potshotting is no more worse than a normal map because they have so many close quarter areas.

And Boardwalk was one of Reach's better maps, which was okay. Awful is Hemmorage and Sword Base.

They might give you a coupon 800MSP coupon, or something.

What's a good BTB map in comparison?

Too much cover means less engagements and slower paced gameplay. And there are already enough 6v6 maps in the game. The fact that they added more is a testament to where their priorities are. May as well remove 4v4 from the game entirely.

心の中に弱い風が吹いています。

I like the new maps actually. They at least freshen things up, since the multiplayer gets into a lull with the maps people vote for.

You need more cover with the quicker kill times in Halo 4.

Blood Gulch is the best example. It's a big, open map with plenty of cover and long sight lines.

Apart from that there is Sandtrap, Rats nest, Standoff, Avalanche, and to a lesser extent, Highlands in Halo Reach. These maps are simple. Look a Sandtrap, it had a single open path running around the entire map, a (almost) completely open sky, and two possible places to hide in. If you got up on one of the structures, you could see the entire map. This is what Halo 4 is lacking. Instead of being able to get to the high ground and scope the battlefield, i'm destined to wander the playing field until i randomly run into someone.

Ok. My bad. Now let's get some of those other things changed. I suggest we start with 128 v 128 team games next. Player count hasn't changed since Halo 1. A boost is long overdue.

  • 12.11.2012 1:47 AM PDT

The human element always mucks things up.

They're all big team maps and the playlist only supports 12 people.

Facepalm

>Would complain that no one has the maps (ie. Reach)
>Complains it's free and lots of people have the maps

Makes sense. Sarcastic thumbs up.

Nope Extraction is already on the disc, it was just basically introduced in the DLC playlist. Allso player count will not be more then 16 players when it's P2P hosting.

It's called Crimson map pack.

There are no red or red-ish maps.

OP thinks Boardwalk is a good map = why the OP doesn't get why the maps are bad.

  • 12.11.2012 3:19 AM PDT

Numba one Italian on da flud.

I'm sick of these HUGE maps, we need some 4vs4 maps.

  • 12.11.2012 3:21 AM PDT

You mean you're actually reading my sig? Sweet jesus, this is a momentous occasion. I'd like to thank my family, my friends, my pet toad Trevor, and everybody else that played a part in me achieving this sort of thing! This is a monumental day for me; a justification for all those times people told me, "No! It's impossible! You can't do it!" and now I have done it. Somebody has opened my sig. This is the greatest moment in history.

I like them, and despite the fact I paid for the LE I have no problem with people getting the maps for free. Hopefully now I'll be able to play BTB without playing 99 in every 100 games on Ragnarok or Exile.

They have their problems though. The glare on one of the maps - I think it's Wreckage - is ridiculous. Also, it's all dirt/rocks aesthetics - what happened to variety? I would've settled for a pristine snowy/ice environment, Avalanche-style. Also kinda bummed that the Achievements are the way they are, which means that people spend all game doing stuff like jumping over the rocks on Harvest in a Warthog, or not shooting anybody in a Mantis because they're trying to stomp everyone.

But eh. It's a couple more maps for BTB that more people are getting, which is a welcome change from Reach where I barely ever got to play the DLC maps because nobody in BTB had them and just voted for -blam!- Hemmorhage over and over and over.
