Halo |OT8| A Salt on the Control Room

Oh god please no, I absolutely despised that map. Would rather have Orbital remade.
What does everyone see in that pathetic excuse for a map? Or are they just joking when they say they want it remade?
Sorry but orbital has to be the worst map made in halo history, ever. Even reach couldn't top that sorry excuse for a map.
There is no route on that map besides the hallway given to you... Map flow at its worst.

I hope the remake is Avalanche, if anything. Seems like it would work well for Halo 4.

Not sure if posted yet, but looks like no Valhalla or Pit.

Oh yea remember Orbital? Man H3 had some pretty garbage maps. Can't believe The Pit got released. Seems like Bungie was red lighting any good material out of the game saying "no we cant have our fans having good maps theyll just want more" "lets release ghost town, its impossible to walk on because theres rocks and geometry everywhere. Enjoy your labrynth of shit rats.

Pit can be remade on forge world just like in Reach. I just hope it actually gets into more than one playlist this time.
A Promethean launcher? What is that? I know Knights can spawn Watchers who can spawn Crawlers and reanimate falled Prometheans. Is that the Knight the launcher?
Can I join you guys? GT: Slaker117
Idk, they all are really awful maps.
Besides uncaged I actually like that map, of course using jetpack will do that to you.. lol
this. God, Uncaged .. small floor to walk, nuke grenades, jetpacks, sky is the same color like the HUD and really bad spawns.
Ship it.

Sandtrap was just awful, awful. I remember back when I lurked here somebody (Chinner, maybe) described it as 'like playing cancer'. Seems about right.
Worst map in Halo 3 (based on the fact I played it hundreds of times in slayer gametypes).

i dunno, i could tolerate high grounds in social but would get pissed if i got it in ranked
Cold storage? Assembly? Isolation? Orbital?
Those maps are absolute shit compared to high ground

Tell us how you really feel, Juices.
Edit: Are we sure they're not talking about the Incinerator Cannon when they say Promethean Launcher? The Promethean rocket launcher?

About the remake, anyone not saying Death Island is flat out wrong. It's Silent Cartographer scaled down into a multiplayer map with a base on each side of the island.

Covie and Proms working together? I viewed the two factions being a conflict within almost every encounter. So is it confirmed that they'll cooperate as a mixed faction of enemies against you later on in Halo 4?
Edit: Wouldn't make any sense if they did.
And then Bungie was like, "ehhh that's enough of that, let's fuck up the spawns"

Someone wanna jump into Reach matchmaking with me? Just looking to have a good time.
Well you're playing the wrong game for that.

Wow, I honestly anticipated this. I think the multiplayer got better with each game.

i hope that means a non-shitty arena...if not..

edit: just accused of cheating on halo 3, lol
Interesting read.
Also looks like a few members from Epic Games (makers of Gears of War) may go to Dallas to compete in Halo 4, pretty awesome.

I prefer all of those to High Ground.
Cold Storage: good remake of a great map. Works well for FFA.
Assembly: Average map, better at slayer than HG.
Isolation: Symmetrical, plenty of BR's on the map to mitigate the horror of AR starts, a below average map but not as bad as people make out.
Orbital: Good one-bomb map if you enjoy how that map and gametype played; a war of attrition and persistence to move the bomb from one side to the other, through a relentless hail of nades, rockets, bubbleshields, powerdrains and maulers. But oh boy was it sweet when you planted successfully. Plus sniping from rockets for triple kills was GOAT.
High Ground was a fucking disgusting map that appeared about 70% of the time in Slayer and Snipes, constant spawns behind you, favoured the team that spawned on the high ground (dur) for power-ups/weapons and had too many nooks and hovels for shotgun campers. Dirty, dirty map.
It should have stuck to what it was good at.
This past weekend me and a couple of friends were really bored so we decided to speed run the entire Halo 3 campaign on normal. we are alright at it but it was way more fun than i expected. I was thinking of streaming a few runs this weekend on twitch.tv. Doing this reminded me ow much I love the Halo 3 campaign

I know we dont have fifty maps to comb through, but when clearly OBJ-designed maps start being used in slayer to much...
they either become "broken" and/or "suck"
I hope, future Halo MP maps really carve out their niche so their intended use is clear, not all maps should be jack of all trades
Relic, made for 1-Flag
Turf, made for 3-Plot
etc

So, there's nothing major coming in October so that means we won't know what the ranking system is until H4 is released? Vadernooo.jpg
And holy shit, it's 1am and I have to up at 8am for sixth form, I'm gonns die of tiredness.
We take it very seriously; we support this in a variety of ways, like with Halo Waypoint, which is going to have a relaunch with new additions, like stats support, come November.

They will never remake the Pit now with sprinting and such. That gem will forever remain the foundation of my favourite multiplayer Halo memories.

Polite question and trying to avoid answer = this.
The question was will Halo 4 have spectator mode, the answer is no.
I also want maps specifically built or BTB like Waterworks.

SandTrap remake would be amazing.

STATS! UNGHHHHHHH YES STATS!*
*Unfortunately it'll be on Waypoint so you wont ever get to see them ever. Jokes on you.

Fixed.
This caught my eye as well. Is this just a misquote or something or did Frankie let something slip? I don't believe we have heard about them working together. In fact, in the E3 trailer you see a Promethean vaporize an elite.
I could see a Sandtrap remake with the new "Mammoth"

Why do so many people like the elephant?
The question could even be stretched to Black Ops 2's ranking system, spectator mode, CoDcast mode, and theater mode, which was answered by saying "we're going to have stats... still."
I'm sure they'll do some new things with stats regarding Waypoint, but it's so... unsatisfying; anticlimactic. We've waited so long to hear about ranks even, that this answer is like finding a water bottle in the sand while you're stranded in the desert, only to pick it up and find out it's filled with a vapid, unsettling, around the bush type answer.
I'm not upset, sad, or mad about the news, or lack thereof, but just come out and say it. No need to badger the competitive community with loose answers again and again.
