I just want them to stop with the Remixes. Fathom and Coliseum are the only ones without one now and i want brand new maps with diff setups and assets.

Snowbound is fine for 4v4
Epitaph is fine for a FFA/doubles map
Swordbase is bad but still enjoyable
Cage/Uncaged are forge maps and still have some sort of combat flow
Overgrowth is just corridors of bullshit

I at least had fun in Snowbound in Halo 3, especially in multiteam KOTH. The outside areas were solid (inside tunnels not so much).
Epitaph was pretty good for slayer and doubles. Yeah the shield doors were pretty bad though.
Backwash -- yeah, that was really bad.
I can apprecaite the verticality of Swordbase and Caged and Uncaged weren't awful.
All that said, I need multiteam in Halo 5. Man, I love the craziness of that gametype.
It might be too late for them to stop, this is concept art for Fathom and Rig remixes from S3E4 The Sprint.

haven't seen these. Concept art always looks cooler.
In the run up to H5 when my thirst for new info was all too real, I subscribed to the channel; some of their more recent videos have been pretty good, the ones which weren't coming from the owner and guy people have problems with. Will be nice to see more Halo content on YouTube coming from them.

Yeah, XP means nothing to me really at this point.

So overgrowth's it as far as new Arena map content as of late? Any new permanent game modes yet? If not... any news on when they're going to add any of this?
Back when the weekend playlist started, they said that they would do XP boost and RP boost on different weekends. I don't understand why that hasn't happened yet
I nominate Isolation
Well, there it is.gif
Not too surprised, because the last time I checked in there was this "guys tell us what to do to make HaloFollower better" video so I guess they've been doing badly recently in terms of content and behind-the-scenes.

Yeah... what's been going on over at 343i? I keep checking back and playing a few matches here and there... but *yaaaawn* there's not much to play if you dislike Warzone and the Forge maps :/

Anyone want to play?
In my continued rampage against the fact that REQ packs cost too many REQ points and people with more money or time have an innate advantage over those who don't:
Totally played a full team that ran two Phaetons, a Banshee Ultra, Gauss hog, and Missile Hog simultaneously. My team didn't have any suitable vehicles or anti-vehicle weapons to use.
Win packs are a great start, but there needs to be a fundamental shift about how REQenomics are handled. Points need to drop faster and there needs to be a way to disable Certs that you don't use (ie: ALL of the Mongoose cards and Scout Hogs).

I don't ever use req cards and I'm fairly consistently in the top 3 players of the match. Once you get a loadout BR you really don't need anything else... I actually sell every single req card I get that isn't a boost.

Me and a friend were discussing this last night, but there should specialized packs that you can buy. Stuff like weapon packs, vehicle packs, boosts, etc.
These packs would contain a small amount of what type of REQ it contains, cost a small amount of REQ/$$$ and can't receive certs from them. Say you are low on vehicles, but don't want boosts/weapons/armor/anything that isn't vehicles. Just get a vehicle pack that could net you 5 (example #) vehicles instantly of varying rarity.
I think it would add to the REQ pack system, and still give priority to the bronze/silver/gold packs because they would be the only way to get certs and customization pieces, while still getting a bit of everything.

Backwash? Chiron? Epitaph? The Cage? Paradiso?

I don't even understand how the system works, sometimes you get excessively long bans for like two or three quits, sometimes you only get like 20 minutes.

What are the downsides to flooding people with RP? The REQ system is not inherently designed to be broken since you need energy to use the cards and can lose them right after you spawn, so why not increase the payouts?
EDIT:
Good idea.
EDIT:
You know, sometimes I forget that Halo is sometimes not a cool guy and is just a business.. Damn.
People would spend less real money on Gold Packs.
SmartWaffles

Yeah Titanfall do that with its Burn Card system, which basically is exactly a REQ system with a 3 per match limit.
Burn cards were so much fun, but I did forget to use them often or was too cheap lol.
Isolation
Map was fun for infection and CTF. Probably the lamest in Halo 3 though.
Worse than Chiron TL34? The original "corridors of bullshit".
Seriously, overgrowth isn't too bad for Strongholds... And could possibly be fun for KOTH or oddball.

Do you sprinkle broken glass into your socks in the morning, or is masochism something you keep to Halo?
Add assault to that list and I am gonna need some time alone.
Lots of CE's maps are bottom-of-the-franchise-tier. Prisoner is "I have the high ground Anakin", Hang 'em High is "camp the shotgun corridor, go +10KD", Chiron is.... Chiron, Boarding Action is perhaps the most niche map for good game types on it of any map ever. In general most of the maps really don't play well with 4v4.

Agree. Boarding Action is personally one of my all time favorites. Such a cool concept and it leads to some awesome gameplay happenings.
