Didn't see that gif but again, I just felt like posting the vid.
Are we really arguing about this :/

That's why I didn't list it in decent maps.
2 shotties, 2 grenade launchers, rockets, snipes, no dmrs when it's TU slayer. Just gross.
The base designs stem from Sidewinder, anyways, but with Avalanche/Ridgeline they made revisions based on new changes to gameplay. Only difference is Avalanche's teleporter inside, which could've been good or bad depending how you look at. I wish the actual base inside was larger than it was, because once you go back through from the outside you're right in the grenade hole. Would have preferred a Sidewinder base but the teleporter up top and the man-cannon could have launched you right beside the top entrance.
Brings up my hope for them to make changes to the current teleporter. Often times in Reach/3's version you'll go in, but you can't go back in until you step a few feet away out. Plus it removed telefragging to counter people who loved to camp teleporters.

I would like a numerical shield/health displayed in the UI. Also pings.
And jetpacks ruin the entire navigation of the map on a level that Forge maps couldn't hope to touch.
Don't forget radar.
What that map really needs is a banshee.

You'd need to throw some lasers to balance it too.
Most of them.
Psshh, you don't know the first thing about balance. Everyone knows the only counter for a banshee is an elephant. it's just common sense, DUH!

I was going to put mine, which is Valhalla.
...no Valhalla?
And I've always wanted to know what Narrow's problem was. When I think about the marginal amount of fun I had in H3, Narrows is there with the Pit and Guardian.

Epitaph, Snowbound and Isolation are maps that come to mind. So bad.
And for the decent maps in Reach, I'd say:
non DLC
Zealot
Powerhouse
Countdown
Asylum
DLC
Anchor 9
Tempest
Condemned
Highlands
Beaver Creek
Timberland
Headlong
Damnation
So that is 4 decent Reach stock maps and 8 DLC maps that are decent. So that leaves us with 12 crappy maps (counting the launch forge world maps with that) and a whole bunch of forge world maps (and those suck most of the time)

I don't think either are very good. Do I win a prize?
That's not saying a whole lot. The practically unassailable nature of the hill and Pelican soured Valhalla for me almost entirely.
Crappy spawns, mostly. Very easy to hold the points to trap people.

Valhalla is aight. I'd have it before just about every Reach BTB map.
Why would I like a map that's basically KotH with a lazer?
At least Narrows has some interesting shooting angles.
I'm sure "interesting" is not the word most would use, though

Come on, HaloGaf! Stay on top of things! I don't want to have to visit the gaming side for H4 info.

At minimum I'd like to see an option in theater that renders the spawn point weights and HP values of each player so it's easier to debug and tweak your maps.
Do not want:
Construct - Hey everyone, let's run into the lifts, what's the worst that could happen?
Isolation - Hey we got the top of the hill oh we lost the top of the hill of we got the top of the hill.
Sand Trap - Barf
Snowbound/Boundless - Hey, one room filled with dead people and grenades, neat.
Halo 3 Maps I wouldn't rage over but don't necessarily want:
Guardian
Narrows
Halo 3 Maps I Want, preferably with some changes
High Ground - Crawl space needs to just be an actual entry point, no laser.
The Pit
Last Resort - Use Zanzibar, actually.
Valhalla - Flatten that Hill, no laser.

Is anyone aside from Hyper and zerofire online? I can't join their game for some reason, and I'm getting awfully tired of playing with terrible randoms.
I'm in with this now. If anyone else wants to join message Karl2177 or CyReN CE.

Devo etc. are online I guess. I went offline to grab some food.
I'm on now doing dlc achievements if you are interested.
I'm online now, GT nzapster if anyone wants to play.
As far as what appears to be part of your visor in shot, I'm not that big a fan, seems like one of those inclusions that would be detrimental to actual gameplay. It's an addition that would look cool initially but fall flat after 10 hours.
Seems stupid drawing anything from that clip though, and regardless those who've seen the game are probably laughing at said analysis.
just want funday monday

Wow, thanks for the warning! I'm gonna try and see what I can do. Here's hoping.
Wow, both of those Halo 2 Vista maps look pretty cool, its too bad they didn't get a console release.

Hm, what do they plan on showing? Maybe they just plan to break the embargo? Or maybe they think it ends then? Haha

Please, let there be no AAs in Halo 4. Or jetpacks. I fucking hate jetpacks.
Relic, Terminal and Containment were my favorite maps in Halo 2. Would love to see a return of these somewhere down the line.

Someone never got a mancannon no-scope.
I did, doesn't make the map any less shit.
Most infuriating Doubles map ever. Easy to just take the lead and sit behind shield doors with CQC power weapons.
I wouldn't mind a Narrows remake, quite enjoy MLG CTF on that, although The Pit is probably my most wanted remake. In my opinion it's the best map in the series.
Of course none of this matters if the gameplay is vastly different to Halo 3, like Reach was. In that case forget remakes and start with fresh map ideas that suit the gameplay.
I wouldn't even put it on my list of least-wanted, because it's out of the question and would be a lovely troll if it was remade.
Jetpacks are Halo now.
Based on the trailer that they used to reveal Halo 4, I got some bad news about jetpacks.

Nah. The Chief used thruster and not a jet pack.
Garrett 2U

There is a large difference between the thrusters in the video and the jet pack.
The thrusters lacked the power to propel chief more than 30 feet in zero gravity.
Yeah I'm guessing that's going to be used for armored core-like maneuvering during whatever zero-g segments there are but not be a part of the game.
I enjoy Halo as frantic and fast paced as possible, it's why I play MLG mostly. In that respect the prospect of thruster based BR battles has me bursting at the seams. Need to temper such expectations though.
