Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Ad Infinitum

The hate in this thread is palpable.

most of the maps are too big. tried playing SWAT on Harvest. It sucks. Halo 3 maps are the perfect example of map design. Guardian, The Pit and Construct are perfect.

Abandon is unbalanced in CTF. The team that gets building spawn can control the map from the middle because they have an elevated position on the other team's spawn. especially if 1 guy is on top of the gold lift

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

You're delusional.

On the whole, Halo 4s map design is better than Reaches but the maps are still terrible compared to actually good maps from Halo:CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3. Halo 2 had the best maps in the series by far.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

Halo 4's map design is one of the best in the series
hahahaha

some of the best competitive play areas in FPS history, with maps such as Blood Gulch, Beaver Creek, Hang 'Em High, Ascension, Headlong, Lockout, Midship, Ivory Tower, Guardian, High Ground, Valhalla, Narrows, The Pit, Countdown, and Powerhouse
HAHAHAHAHAHA

-Great flow
-Easy to navigate
-Controllable locations
-Good mix of asm/symetrical, large, medium, and small
-Defined play areas
-Memorable, various, and distinct scenery/environments
-Compliment gameplay mechanics
-Distinguished call points

I'm sorry, what game's maps were we talking about again? Definitely not Halo 4's based on this list.

  • 01.06.2013 5:29 PM PDT

The only decent maps are Haven and Adrift. Abandoned has some good matches sometimes.

  • 01.06.2013 5:31 PM PDT

I'm glad you cared to look at this box with letters. Lets hang out sometime! :D

The maps in the game weren't that great, but I still like the game.

Just.. please... no more Complex!

Lol Halo 4's maps are awful.

You unlock this door with the key of inebriation. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of gingers, a dimension of drunks, a dimension of Lucky Charms. You're moving into a land of both beer and potatoes, of marshmallows and leprechauns. You've just crossed over into... the Shamrock Zone.

Haven and Harvest...that's about it though. I liked Halo 3's maps the most

CTF is god. Praise his name. For the flag is his holy messiah.

Harvest is the best Halo 4 map, hands down.


This.

I have to agree with this. The aesthetics remind me of Halo 2's terminal somewhat. If only 343i would give us a one flag gametype though...
And Assault! Come on 343i, missed opportunities here.

Atheist? Deist? Skeptic? Free thinker? If you're one of these, or a theist looking for a good debate, try the Secular Sevens!

Meh. I feel they flow well with the gameplay of Halo 4, but I wouldn't say it was the best.

Halo 4 has only a few good maps imo.
Abandon, Ragnarok, Adrift, Haven, and Longbow are good.
I hate all of the other maps, especially Vortex, Solace, and Exile.

  • 01.06.2013 5:39 PM PDT

The only good map in Halo 4 is Haven. The rest are too big for regular slayer.

Complex is too big for 4v4 slayer and maybe a little small for BTB. However, it makes a better objective map and a better Team Snipers map.

Exile is perfect for BTB and I think its the best one so far, could also be used for Capture the Flag and its also a great Snipers map.

Adrift is a great map, I don't hate it that much.

Abandon is a great map as well and you can guarantee a lot of wins with good Map Control on that one because its pretty small.

I'm not familiar with the the BTB so much like Meltdown, Vortex and LongBow so I won't say much. I do think LongBow is great though. Vortex sucks for slayer game types and i dont have much critiscism for Meltdown.

TL;DR We Need More Small Maps. Everythign seems to suit BTB or Objective.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

INVASION ON HARVEST

Limited vehicle action is the bad part though...

Halo 4's is meh. Not bad, not good.

Halo Reach's on the other hand...

I remember my second match. It was on "The Cage". My immediate reaction afterwards was

What?

Apart from custom load outs nothing really bothers me much about Halo 4. I just got bored after 2 weeks of playing it. Oh campaign was quite rubbish. But apart from load outs and campaign nothing really bothered me.

I play them so much and that really says something about their design.
No - it says something about how few maps they made.
