Halo is overrated. You're all scrubs.

Midship isn't overrated, but Guardian is a top tier map, come on now.
At least, I have fun in almost every game on that map. Even if it is 2v4 I feel like I have a chance.
Yeah, remake in H2A would be super fun.
Someone should forge up a H2A remake of Guardian. Maybe my dislike for Guardian is just a biproduct of my general dislike for H3's gameplay compared to CE and 2.
Dat snipe.
I just... What... how... wow.
It's so snappy and quick that it almost looks aim-bot like
This is what I'm suspecting to be honest.
Customs/FFA games on Guardian are some of my best memories of H3.
Going in to MCC Halo 3 had the best multiplayer to me, but man the BR spread is like I'm trying put butter on some toast. That FOV is god awful
Dat snipe.
He saw the guy spawn behind him on radar. He had no shields and just got a rampage. No deaths yet. Freaked out a bit.
A few seconds after that he got a ninja backsmack to save his life too
Slayer pro with radar.
getting Bungie vibes here.
They'll have it, it will just be FIVE times the size in terms of square footage (meterage?)...

Guardian with Sprint and Clamber? Please. God. No.
Star Lord better be a selectable skin as well.

Just noticed that the H2A rumble playlist is up.
Probably late on that.
Probably late on that.
I managed to get a game pretty quickly on it too.
Won by one kill, some guy miss jumped and I managed to hit him with a few shots before he died. Luckiest win I've had in a while.
Also Standoff is the dark horse of Halo maps.
Better late than never. Probably the best thing to happen to MCC since launch, lol.
It's the one playlist where people can't complain about their party being split on different teams or launching with unbalanced numbers of players on each team.

I could see Construct working incredibly well in the Halo 5 sandbox. So many jumps to top-mid bubble shield that could be saved with clamber.

BestBuy may give a refund on a physical copy of MCC.

That is true, I will have to try the playlist out. I assume king of the hill and oddball are in that playlist?

So, after playing Rumble Pit H2A for a while...man fuck Warlord. Warlock is actually overrated, they should have picked a better map.
I'm trying to think of a map that I could offer as a counterpoint. But I don't think I can think of an underrated map that's on par with Standoff. Only two I can think of are Containment and Rat Race.

The H2A sniper is crazy easy to use.

Don't know why people hate on Construct. Map was really enjoyable with multiple pathways to almost every spot on the map. Not to mention there's no real easy camping lift room (ala Swordbase) due to every lift having two entrance points and all the walls seemingly angled just for grenade tosses. Granted most of the action takes place on the top level, but that's not to say the bottom is completely ignored.
Construct KOTH was tops.

Just played a match in H2A Rumble and this happened.

Construct Purp Lifts was the original Oddball Swordbase
What happened?
It really is a quality map. It's probably underrated due to being a DLC map.
I dunno, I felt like most of the time on the lower levels you're looking for a way to get up to the top. Then at the top the action seems to centre around the lifts which become a bit of a clusterfuck. I never particularly enjoyed it...
Yeah, it was great.

The last 30 seconds or so had me salivating.

Construct is like a terrible version of Collosus.

I got a Hail Mary which is saying a lot for me.
I'm pretty bad at Halo but I still love it.
Its awesome to use.
Rat Race will always have a special place in my heart as it was the very first Halo map I ever played- but Chillout is my all time GOAT across every Halo game. That map is absolute asymmetrical perfection. I literally jump up and scream at the TV when it comes up for voting and go bonkers when it wins the vote.
(also, I know this was referencing underrated maps- but I just had to express my Chillout obsession, even though it's one of the higher rated maps)

Do you like Cold Storage? I know a lot of people don't like it, but I think it plays pretty well in Halo 3. It was also a nice free surprise on Bungie day.
I suppose I'm one of the few who actually like Bloodgulch
Lockout Slayer is balls
Gaurdian is pretty cool
Construct was amazing fun
Standoff is one of the greats
Rat Race is pure grav hammer fun at its best
Can't comment on Containment but it looks so fun

Custom Edition GOAT
It's my favorite H3 map. H3 is my least favorite MP of the trilogy, but I'd choose a game on Cold Storage over many other CE and H2 offerings (not all, but many)
Those last 30 seconds
It's so good to have Elites in multiplayer again
I'm going to just keep hopelessly dreaming of BTB on Powerthirst
Nice grenade
You are not alone my friend. Blood Gulch is the best 8v8 CTF map there is. A lot of people never experienced it the way I did. It was/is a battlefield!
Standoff is another great big team map with great CTF play. Surprisingly it's not very good for TS.
Lockout is Quake Jr. For people who like to snipe enemies ten feet in front of them.
CliQ, I have that clip saved of me preventing the enemy flag from resetting with literally ONE second left during that CTF match on Shrine just post-MCC Saturday night if you'd like me to share that with you.
Easiest way to share things from Upload Studio on XB1 though?

I think it's been upgraded to the bad opinion bullet-train.
I agree with this, Bloodline might be the best version of Blood Gulch. Too bad I never get to play it, because why would anyone vote for that when you could vote for Lockout?
For the love of god stop voting for lockout.
If you can save it to your one drive and then link me to it that would be great. That way I can download the raw file.

CliQ, you're still a Junior lol
Halo 5 needs to launch with at least ~20 maps IMO.
EDIT:
Cold Storage is legit. Remakes and spiritual successors are usually the best maps ;]
Halo 5 needs to launch with at least ~20 maps IMO.
EDIT:
What's wrong with the design of those maps other than the sandboxes they were in?
Well, Tombstone and Ragnarok probably disprove this theory. I'd also argue that Avalanche is a vastly inferior spiritual successor to Sidewinder.
