Halo |OT12| Last One Out, Get the Lights

That map makes me depressed just looking at it. Looks like walls of turds, streets of turds, boxes of turds and turdwater.

Flush it.

It was a good to mildly great map with 1 sided assault or flag. Slayer it wasn't so fun. I imagine your comments are from a slayer perspective. You don't strike me as an objective guy really.

That's memorable for an entirely different reason [talking about Orbital]

Again it wasn't too great for slayer but I found it fun for 1 or 2 sided flag/assault games. Never understood the hate but again I'm not a slayer based player.

You know, equipment could still work in Halo.. have an option to carry either equipment or grenades, obviously if you choose equipment you only get one per life or something along those lines. They could maybe bring back something like the power drainer, trip mine, bubble shield, grav lift, etc.



Alright, then Ill stick by Longshore:

The map was a blast to play on, I only wish it came out earlier in the games life cycle.

Longshore is a remake of Hang Em High

Someday I'll do part 2 of this series. Takes a lot of research to do just one map

In this day and age this excuse doesn't fly.
See cyber bullying wiki for details.

Dunno; seems like a silly thing to get worked up over hateful messages by a guy named FAPFORUMs.

But I don't have a twitter so I will never understand.

So are you saying the problem is the playlist placement then?
The map "supports 4v4 and 6v6" yet has a BTB mentality behind it. There are vehicle routes, clearly to support vehicles. Why are vehicles being supported? If each of the objective gametypes were 6v6(hello Squad battle!) then I'd understand, but Dominion is the only 6v6 objective gametype currently. Yet we see in the video during the CTF portion at one point 3 hogs and a ghost.

I just don't understand the whole large scale mentality behind the map, regardless I wouldn't mind being wrong. I hope it plays well.

Bungie sure loved their poop and rust textures in H3.

If blops 2 league is any indication ranked matches in halo 4 are gonna suck for quitters. When I'm on a team shitting on the other team most quit out (this is only the bronze/silver leage mind you, so it's not super competitive. When my team is getting slapped I end up with one or two teammates. People fucking suck and can't take their losses.

Positive note though. Once you're placed in league you get constant progress feedback. This is way better than arena was. And the skill based matchmaking seems to be spot on for now.

Here's hoping the halo 4 ranking addition is more thought out that just a waypoint skill number.
 
That guys tweets are just comically bad, he cant think he will get anywhere with them does he?


Also im pretty gutted that awesome Harvest art was just the skybox of what looks like a pretty mundane map. :(
 
Haha I love how Kynan kind of mumbles and makes up some bullshit about learning what people like despite saying a few moments before saying it was one of the earlier maps in development when asked if they learnt anything from Halo 4 being in the wild when making the map.

Not hating on the guy, just found the contradiction really funny.

Good to know blops 2 league seems interesting. I have a sealed copy sitting here but I've still been playing Halo.

I'd still prefer if it was a jump pack and not a jet pack. Still don't know how that thing doesn't get nerfed but the thruster pack got the crap neutered out of it from pre-release to final.

they totally made it symmetrical based on feedback, why would he lie? lol

Off topic. Blops 2 worth getting? I'm about to go into town now. Might pick it up

IMO yes, so long as you don't have "Internet issues,"

I just got the game and already put 6+ hours into MP. It's the best CoD in recent memory.

I need to take a break from it to give team regicide a go though

Holy shit at those tweets. Makes me want to hurt people.

Yeah, I mean, we rip 343i to shreds. We put down the disc and we take a big, long vocal/textual shit all over it. But I'd like to think we do so with some tact. Every once in a while.

While I don't like the game they made very much, I still think they're awesome people.

Kinda sad that Harvest is the "smallest" map of the bunch...

Kinda ridiculous given the outcry that the game needs smaller maps. Don't they have metrics to see that Haven is the most popular map in the game? Doesn't take a rocket scientist, make a small symmetrical, pretty map. Jeez.

Definitely seems like these were made pre-feedback.

Didn't they say this pack is btb/Dom focused? If imagine there's at least one smaller map pack inc.

Yeah, but why? The small map pack should have come first.

There already is an over abundance of large maps that don't get picked. (Longbow, Vortex say hi)

Yeah, this map pack is BTB and Objective focus. It's also been in development since before Halo 4 launched so they probably couldn't take into account much of the bitching that has been going on across the internet.

We had concept art of all the maps and their final names within weeks of the game's release date.

Read into that what you will.

I think Harvest looks beautiful.

The Skybox is beautiful, the rest of the map (what you will be looking at 90% of the time) is pretty bland.

Looks like a decent map though, just wish it was smaller. (Take out the warthogs and squish it)
