Yeah it sucks it isn't more popular. It was made with eSports in mind I believe. The spectator mode is great.
Haven is the best Halo 4 map, although I think Landfall is probably the best Halo 4 DLC map and is right up there with Haven. The atmosphere, the tone and environment just really gives out a beautiful Halo 2 vibe, which is pretty nostalgic. It's overall fun to play on as well, for me anyway.

Omg... I might the only Halo fan that doesn't know any map's name (well only Blood Gulch).
You guys know everything. I'm such a newb.

Yeah, Dominion is a shitty gametype so you didn't miss anything. It makes me sad we got Dominion instead of superior Invasion

Monolith is a good map too.
Maps that are decent -> good:
- Haven
- Exile
- Ragnarok (Remake)
- Harvest (DLC: art style has that Halo vibe with a cool setting (classic Halo boxed in canyon, toybox, open space, etc.) and colors (ie: Distinguishable RvB bases))
- Shatter (DLC)
- Landfall (DLC)
- Monolith (DLC)
- Skyline (DLC)
- Daybreak (DLC: "functionally symmetrical" thing aside, it's a fun map)
- Perdition (DLC)
- Pitfall (DLC - Remake)
- Abandon
- Adrift
- Complex
- Longbow
- Meltdown
- Solace
- Vortex
- Wreckage (DLC)
- Outcast (DLC)
- Vertigo (DLC)

I was just about to type that. I agree so much. I dislike Dominion, but I loved Reach invasion. It was a good mix between objectives and big team. It was one of the gametypes that I loved playing with my good friends.

You'll always have Bobs..eh..eh?
Who am I kidding, that's not a life worth living.
IMO Longbow is way better than Exile, which is pretty bad though way better than Vortex.
Not sure about Meltdown, it feels like it could be decent if Fuel Rods were removed and the Mantises were replaced with normal Warthogs or Ghosts.
I pretty much agree with this except that I actually had good times with Meltdown, Longbow, and Vortex. I didn't get any of the DLC so I can't really comment on those ones.

Playing ODST on Legendary, and i wonder... is this on easy mode or what. Way too easy...
Can we have actually challenging Legendary for Halo 5, seeing as no Halo has been that hard on Legendary since Halo 2 (Reach is partially difficult, due to various shitty issues, making it as cheap as Halo 2 but not really difficult otherwise).

I joined NeoGAF because it was generally better discussion than bungie.net and there was an organized community that got together and tried to make the best of a sub-par Halo game. A lot of that discussion stems from the quality of posts being made, not so much the quantity of posts. This is a quote from Ram when zoo joo posted a lot of little substance: 'Let's just say I've never read a post from you and thought "good point".' There's a lot of posters now where that applies to them. A lot of people want good discussion, not necessarily lots of discussion.
Hey! I might be an idiot, but at least I'm not an idiot! ...wait a minute
Yeah. I went back to Reach OT6, and went through the first 30 pages or so. This was back when Fyre posted a lot of nonsense, Stephen talked about betraying yoinkers, and Tawpgun bought a TV because "The box has a blonde chick and a black guy enthusiastically playing a PS3 so I hope so."

After all of the advice I give you, this is the thanks I get.

Why are you posting here?

Haven is only considered good because every other map in Halo 4 sucks. Please no Halo 4 or Reach map remakes ever. None of them are worth it.

That would actually be pretty darn cool. Do some type of reverse as well, allowing a Carmine-esque variant with an MC inspired helmet in Gears 4 and I'd be happy.
Make them achievement tied or something so that if your X1 recognizes you played both games you unlock it in both or something and it would be pretty cool.
Ah so there's someone like me! I too think that ODST is probably one of the easiest Halo campaigns, but certain sections (like staying on the bridge in ONI, and the Coastal Highway) can be murderous.
I think the problem with Halo difficulty is there's a fine line between difficult and cheap. CE felt difficult in spots but due to your superior firepower wasn't incredibly challenging. Halo 2 and Reach felt cheap to me (always dodging Covenant and instakill Elite kicks in the latter, especially.)
While people are right to complain about ammo in 4, I lump it in the same category as 3 in terms of overall difficulty.
As for maps I think a pitfall of every Halo game has been that the best maps are usually DLC.
Halo 4 and Halo ODST are the easiest Halos on Legendary, they're ridiculously easy IMO (Halo 4 especially, it is easier than ODST).
Halo 3 and CE are decent on Legendary, with no cheapness... but also a tad easy to my tastes.
Halo 2 is challenging but unfortunately it has a bit too much cheapness too.
Reach is just cheap.
Halo Wars.. eh, i can't remember. I need to play that (again?). On co-op too, don't have any of those achievements. Anyone interested? Not today though.

If you are in the positive range for your K/D ratio in Halo 4, that would probably put you better than like 75% of the active players out there. Whenever I play BTB, there is always like two or three players that go something like 2/18 or 5/17. It seems like whenever I look at Halo 4 K/D ratios for other players, the vast majority of them are in the negative territory.
As for Halo 4 maps, my favorite is Complex, with honorable mentions going to Exile, Haven and Wrekage. I used to enjoy Haven more, but it's starting to get boring. Haven is good for Halo 4, but it would be a filler map in Halo 1-3, imo.

We're just mere weeks away from my third annual HaloGaf March Madness Tournament Challenge Extravaganza! We've had two great years in a row with me winning two years ago and vhfive winning last year.
The prize has been upped a little this year but won't be revealed until a little closer to tourney season (but you can guarantee it's a good prize).
Entry is free but I want to go ahead and gauge participation because I may add or subtract the total from the prize based on the number participating. PM or quote/reply to this if you're interested (and sorry, US only due to shipping costs, etc).

Haven in Halo 3 would be better than 95% of them, which isn't saying much since it's not that great.
Also those other three maps you listed are awful.

The map plays like a PowerPoint slide show, frame rate is horrible.
Hi guys.
HaloGAF threads have been problematic for a while now. The community has become insular and hostile to new members and contrary opinions, spends as much time off topic as on, and has been one of the more problematic communities we've had to monitor for a while now. The moderation team has been patient in trying to combat these problems. We had a thread hiatus a while back, split threads, overt intervention and warnings and several rounds of bans to enforce basic civility, but yesterday's saga demonstrated the message is not getting through. Exacerbating the situation is, as Ampoc put it:
This is probably what is behind much of the problem. There's nothing to really talk about now, so the threads increasingly result in members turning on one another for sport. Not everyone, of course. But enough to impact the threads as a whole.
To help, we're doing you guys a favor. HaloGAF, as a community, is on pause for a while. Specifically, until after E3 of this year when you folks will have something to talk about. This may seem like punishment - and it kinda is - but it's really a favor. If this trend were to keep up few HaloGAF members would be left come E3 when Halo For Xbox One news will surely arrive.
The next HaloGAF thread may be posted one week after the Microsoft E3 press conference. For example, if it's on a Wednesday, post the HaloGAF thread the following Wednesday.
I suggest you take this as an opportunity to mingle on the gaming side. It will be good for you to realize that HaloGAF exists on GAF and is part of a larger community, and thinking of the HaloGAF community apart from GAF as a whole is not healthy or acceptable. It will be good for folks to step out of this bubble for a bit, and I hope that in doing so HaloGAF is a more welcoming community when it returns in a few months.
