Oh wait the smaller more arena like map is the favorite Halo map AGAIN?
Sweet...
Lets make some more BTB maps.

I would say Abandon over Haven for the hopefully temporary reason that instant spawn affects it a bit less on a control level. Haven can feel like a bowl of clusterfuck some games, which gets exhausting.
If they ever get rid of instant I'll gladly call it the best map in H4.

Also looking at the detached turret achiever, they should have based the achievements around each specialization in addition to making them a bit more reasonable.

Never had a problem in Halo 2 or 3. Reach was fine too, most of the time.
I think it's the matchmaking, matching me up against full teams.

Going up against full teams, when you go in alone is awful. Especially when no one on your team wants to work together/are awful/don't have mics

And the Blue Base sucks. The entire bottom of the hill on that map is a death trap.

To be fair the maps in the DLC packs have been in development and release schedules far before the game even released. Sure they can tweak settings but overall the maps in each pack and their respective sizes were already set in stone. The post release feedback would not affect that.
Also I suspect 343i cater more for Infinity based play and their new sandbox with the view that competitives will just Forge what they want map wise anyhow. Personally I think the smoothness of the Forge objects lends itself to competitive play far more than say organic style objects like rocks or custom objects in developer maps. If you look at the "loved maps" from competitive players you have very smooth and clean objects/surfaces e.g. the pit, narrows, amplified, construct, lockout, midship, sanctuary, warlock, ivory tower, guardian.
All of these have very little clutter or objects on walkways etc. I agree for the "classic or slayer pro or CTF" playlists 343i need to have some small maps with very clean/flat surfaces and very little clutter. If they are developer made over Forge map then the textures and objects etc are far more interesting for spectators and help with variety over repetitive Forge maps.

Is Halo getting MLG tourneys?
Just saw Blops 2 is having one atm.

There's a huge divide in the community atm, MLG pushing to only get their name out and the community wanting to do something different. Fun times!

A "pro" playlist most definitely should NOT have the MLG name on it. COD isn't doing it that way, and the way MLG has treated Halo lately, there's no reason to feel an obligation to do that anyhow.
Hopefully that shit gets ironed out and hopefully they are working to add more competitive modes/shit to Halo 4.

Haven is the only new map in 4 I'd ever want to see return in another Halo game.
Longbow is actually a pretty solid map.
Ruined by stupid ordnance and shit though.
I don't think I've ever played it outside of Dominion. Looks like CTF or Extraction would be fun on it, though.
Spawned into a Big Team game on Ragnarok, enemy team had two binary rifles sitting on the hill and a beam rifle at the Pelican. As I pushed up the creek to try and flank them, their Mantis cut me off with a rocket to the face.
Big Team is such a joke in this game. All those invisible people clamoring for Heavies to be added to Reach must be super happy with Halo 4.

Watching these videos makes me want 343 to do a gameplay commentary on Halo 4. I also want Bungie to do a gameplay commentary on Halo 4. I think it would be cool to hear what they have to say about the game.

This is from karl's post. But at that time is a valuable quote:
"For Multiplayer it's really sort of trying to get the weapons in the right locations on the map..."
I still can't get my head around why 343 abandoned this core tenent of Halo.

Holy crap - I just noticed that if you're looking at your stats on Halo Waypoint (app.halowaypoint.com) and you hit the little 'i' in the bottom left corner, you can turn off the animated background!
Way cool. That annoyed me.
Amazing. Thanks Wu - that was really annoying for me too.
Wouldn't mind one if there is one available.
Awesome. Thanks for this.Holy crap - I just noticed that if you're looking at your stats on Halo Waypoint (app.halowaypoint.com) and you hit the little 'i' in the bottom left corner, you can turn off the animated background!

WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!
Also, Ninja's doing AGL customs. Extraction, slayer, and ball so far and all looked pretty good IMO.
EDIT #2: lol, have Formal's stream open too and he's non-stop bitching. "These kids are objective nerds. They're not good!"
Both streams running up in here and you're just getting outplayed in objectives with fairly even teams otherwise, lolololol.
OT: I know quite a few of you guys are Pokemon fans, so you have to check this out.

It's the full playlist of the six of them.
It's a strangely fun way to play it. I wish it was Cyndaquil/Totodile/Chikorita, but that's a small gripe.
