I would be fine with them dropping it to 30 if they apply some good motion blur. Playground Games' Horizon 2 feels amazing even at 30 because of some seriously good motion blur.
Give the Warthog a bit of a health buff and put back the vehicle health from CE. If super amazing vehicle mode spectacular is really gonna actually totally happen then infantry needs ways to counter vehicles without power weapons.
Initially I think it would feel weird but I don't think it would take long to get used to it.
Talking about Forerunner Tron lines, I just had a match on Monolith. That map is gorgeous. Seriously gorgeous. It's quite clean and the use of red and blue Tron lines to establish which base is which is a great idea. It also makes it very easy to orientate yourself after spawning. The combination of the lines with the snow is fantastic. The sky box is also very good.
Definitely up there as one of the best looking Halo maps imo. It also plays pretty well.
Heh, IGN rated it as 104th in map ranking. That certainly isn't true.
That list was a load of rubbish, kinda feels like they just chuckled whatever down randomly.
No.
The framerate is unlocked in both by default settings, although they later patched in a 30fps cap for campaign (which is pretty close to being a 30fps lock, the game almost never has a >33ms frame).
I agree this map is fantastic, it players really well.Talking about Forerunner Tron lines, I just had a match on Monolith. That map is gorgeous. Seriously gorgeous.

That'd be nice to have everybody with the maps so you don't get situations like that again. I don't think I ever played anything past the crimson map pack online.
There's an umerge function for admins of the page but I don't know if that purely applies to just page and location or absorbed pages themselves.
I've noticed this too. Knights are some of the least satisfying enemies to combat in the franchise. They are like the flood forms in that you get barely a hint of what kind of damage you're doing to them, but their behavior is less clear as well. It would be cool if doing damage caused chunks of their bulky armor to fall off with the helmet being the last bit, leaving them vulnerable to a headshot. The armor could even dissolve into that glowing fairy dust they seem to excrete to make it more clear what's happening.
Man, I saw this map in BTB matchmaking, but voted against it in favor of CE Timberland. It was the right call, but I'd like to see some of the H4 DLC maps I never experienced. Maybe after the big CU comes out, we'll have another MCC throw down and can check some of them out. I guess I could play the H4 playlist, but I imagine the same maps will get picked every time.
I don't think you would have seen it in BTB, it's a small 4v4 arena map. Then again this is the MCC we're talking about.
Oh you're right, it was in SWAT. My mistake. Yeah, I'm playing the H4 playlist right now. Actually surprised that Haven isn't getting picked every game. I've gotten Pitfall and Landfall so far
To me that's more of the direction that I expected them to go with large massing of the forerunner architecture, giving it visual expressiveness via its bulk. Like with avalanche for example which also has contrast going for it.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ragnarok > Valhalla
Some of them are okay, but the plague of jumbled design with obnoxious line-of-sight got to a lot of the small maps as well.
Exile is only "standout" because it's serviceable. And to some degree, for the same reasons that people find Meltdown okay: It's trying to avoid having to be a BTB map, with lots of focus on small scale infantry face-offs in a couple major spots.
Every time I've played Ragnarok, map flow has been atrocious. Locks down way too hard due to the utility weapon design, tons of annoying back-and-forth at a few hardpoints which by themselves make for fairly bland encounters.
Ragnarok over Valhalla? Even with the sight lines coupled with the long range combat stifling movement?
I eagerly wait
But... H4's Vehicle sandbox is poop...
Mantis is boring
Ragnarok looks like it has a filter that drained all of the color and life out of it.
