Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

that's not part of 343's multiplayer philosophy though
More Heavy maps you say?

I really hope that longest remake makes it into team classic. That playlist needs new maps bad.
I know it probably won't work 4 player split though, so it won't get in.

You mean that map that you linked to some time ago?
Because that map even has framedrops in singlescreen. :/
Not like that'll stop it from getting it though *cough*Temple*cough*

Does that playlist still exist? I haven't touched that one in ages.

I hope the fact the Defiant and Anniversary maps being crowed with power weapons is because of Certain Affinity and not 343i. I really don't wanna see Halo 4 maps stuffed full of shotguns in every small room and snipers on every high point of the map.

Nope, instead we have weapon drops. Hooray!
No worries, they'll be raining down upon your head as you cower in fear of meteoric death.
my biggest problem with the CA/343 maps is how heavy they lean on aesthetics over gameplay. Yeah cool Condemned has a neat skybox and the pelican inside is cool and the low grav section is cool to look at but it sucks balls to play on. Highlands is 5 times too big for its own good.
please 343, maps need to be fun to play 3 years after release. gameplay over aesthetics.
Framedrops looking from cave to cave on Beaver Creek.
HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN
I actually really like Highlands, fun to play on. Condemned I do agree with you though, its pretty crap as is a few others.

Highlands would be a good map if you could ever get 8 v 8 on it. I've never played it on BTB though, I only ever got it in the Defiant playlist and Premium Battle.

I meant Anniversary Classic, sorry.
Really? Because I think its fucking boring. The map has no flow at all. Just turtling in bases.
highlands would be terrific with less power weapons so vehicles could play a bigger role. also, 1 sniper not placed at a base, so infantry has somewhat of a chance. and i really like condemned, i just avoid the low grav section entirely.

This is my biggest worry. I find that the maps have dropped off in quality in Reach, compared to Halo 2, and to a lesser extent, Halo 3. The maps that are remakes are nice and all, but I don't think they work as well as they used to with the changes to the sandbox - look at Prisoner, Reflection, or Beaver Creek, for example.
Part of me thinks this is because Reach was almost "doomed" from the get-go with how Bungie designed the gameplay/physics etc. in the sandbox, and that 343 did as much as they could, considering the circumstances. Since they've taken control and are making Halo 4 from the top to the bottom, the maps might be a lot better - since they'll consider their changes better, at least that what I see when I look at those .gifs. I do want them to be pretty, but I also want them to play even better than they look. Wraparound looks promising, but I'm not convinced with Warhouse.
One thing I really hope for is to separate forge maps from matchmaking. Its cool to let the community be involved, but I'd rather have a different playlist for community creations. I rarely get a match on the original maps now. Maybe its just the grey from forge that turns me away from those maps.
I do love the aesthetics on Beaver Creek though. It's gorgeous from an art perspective, yet it doesn't get in the way of gameplay. It's pleasant on the eyes, which is a good way of going about building a pretty map, rather than dropping in a giant mech.
I say this from picture reference; I've yet to actually pull Beaver Creek in MLG matchmaking, and the one time I did it got vetoed for Slayer Sanctuary.
It does play great too aside from what overdoz pointed out. That's disappointing. I will say though that it's fucking hard sniping through trees and vines and shit lol
What a stupid clause, Activision must have really wanted Infinity Ward.
They could just close down IW and open a new studio or move everyone to Sledgehammer.
It just happened yesterday dude. I'm sure he's just busy doing something. And, I don't think anyone is genuinely angry at him. Most (if not all) of us were just ribbing him.
Rockets, shotguns, and snipers spawn 5-10 feet away from the flag capture!
Great map design! #HIGHLANDS

If anyone is actually angry at him, then that would be pretty sad.
But we will tease him to hell and back. : )
Don't tell me how I feel!
He has yet to show me his boobs. Consider me very very very very very very angry grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm a little happy it got delayed.... borderlands 2, D3, and halo 4 is too much to play at that. Nice to have something to look forward to next year. I haven't even been looking at this game, and was wondering why they were showing anything earlier this year. PC day 1

Karl and the homeless contingent of Oxford who pull such gems as asking me what the time is and then telling me exactly what it is after i pretend not to have a phone or watch. Mofos wanted money for that shit!
I thought GUI was a hobo but these guys make him seem clean and honest
Reminds me very much of a night out I had in Nottingham one time dressed as Chief.

Anybody here play BF3 on consoles? If so, what is your take on this? I recently got this game, and I am really annoyed by no standard MM anymore, its basically all 'custom games' with random ass rules.
I still think the old grunt limbs looked better, with their 'arthropod' influences. Its a minor gripe, but art and design is one of my huge interests, so I'm a bit passionate about it.
Ouch, Halo isn't even loved by OXM? =P
Also, will it really have new info on Halo 4? Somehow I bet its a speculation article with some filler interviews and old pictures.
Thats pretty cool. I would really like to see a Halo Wars 2 eventually.. I had a blast with that game.
That must be a bit painful for IW.. The whole CoD situation is just blah, I used to love being blown away and taken by surprise by CoD, but for the past few years it has basically been CoD4 in a new era. =/

lol thanks microsoft, apparently blops 2 is 2012's hottest shooter. halo 4 gets a little circle at least.
OXM's officia site already has this upl'

Now this is awesome. I really, really hope we get to see what Bungie is up to soon..

Get online and play Reach.
Well your mom doesn't complain so I guess that's good enough
This.
We have 3 right now.
This is why I now hate BF3 and it was my current favorite multiplayer game. I suspected this since I couldn't find any DICE severs. Thought it was a bug or mistake though. Fuck that, so messed up.
Best part of the Halo 4 maps so far is they said they're building them for certain gametypes in mind. In Halo 3 and Reach especially, they tried to make them accomodate any gametype.
Now they're taking Halo 2's method. Maps for one sided objective gametypes will play amazingly (hopefully) on those.
I feel like the maps have become more and more cluttered with bull shit. Intricate designs on the walls, little furniture, pipes and computers and screens and all types of bullshit where my grenades love to get stuck. Maps should totally ship before the final graphics polish phase of development lol.
Also, the pipes in Countdown that lead from flag to big door have the worst collision boxes EVER. Holy shit they're awful. The box goes out like 5 inches from the pipe in all directions and is broken.
That is all.
