Standoff sucked for slayer. Whoever got the Laser won the game. It was fun for 6v6 CTF and stuff, but it really sucked for team slayer at the higher levels.

Tempest is a solid comparison to it, because they are both built for 6v6 type battles. Seems rather large-ish for 4v4 but too crammed for 8v8. Standoff in BTB was atrocious in the games I've played in. Solid enough for the smaller games. Tempest is the same way. The positive note for Tempest is no shitty Spartan Laser to ruin it.KS Seven X said:

Why are they designing maps for 6v6 and then not having a 6v6 playlist?
Invasion don't count.
Invasion don't count.
Terminal, Relic, Zanzibar, Burial Mounds, and Colossus were fucking fantastic for the 6v6 Team Battle playlist NoF set up in Halo 2. Still to this day I forget why they ditched the playlist. It was amazing. Lots of Slayer, 1-flag, 1-bomb, and the multi-stuff. Really the best stuff they had to offer.Plywood said:

Is terminal a remake of that Gears level?
If it is, I just put that together, :lol.

I never played terminal, I was overseas during that stretch of time, never played much H3 o H2, although I remember this level from Gears, and people keep mentioning a train.

Sadly, the framerate is so bad on that map that it will make your eyes bleed. Completely unplayable with a party of 8. :-(electricpirate said:

Is there a list somewhere of awesome Forge maps I should be playing?

Check out Forge Hub's Featured Maps section, there are quite a few great competitive maps in there. I can't say enough good things about Sequence, it's one of the most well-designed maps I've seen in Reach so far. 2v2 max players, though. MLG forge section has some good stuff too; I've been wanting to try out Nexus since I've hopped around on it in forge.

Yeah I hear you, that map played well with every game type and really any player size. 4v4 worked just as good as 8v8. Remember those crazy battles to get the flag in the base, the defenders would spawn up top and rain death down on the doods trying to cap it. I remember when i would spawn on defense up in the top of the flag base, as soon as I spawned I always tried to get the two stickies on the ledge and stick the attackers warthog as they drove out of the base and a couple times it actually worked out. Only if there were saved films back then...Plywood said:

So. I played ONI Sword Base on campaign co-op today, just for a quick romp. And I've always played it as a Y-shaped mission: do one of the two objectives, turn around and go back through center, then do the other. I thought that was how it was supposed to be done.
Today our Warthog got knocked over a hill in the back of the comm array area, and I discovered the road between the two encounters, with the tweener fight with the Ghosts and Elites. Never knew it was there before. I went back through solo just now and played it that way.
.....
Yeah.

Ok, so I just won 800 points. It's the map pack worth it, OR should I get 400 more later and get BC2: vietnam?

Niiiice! I wonder if all of them will be permanent additions to matchmaking.Hey You said:
Had an amusing moment tonight when I dipped my toes int BTB. I gun down a Banshee and the announcer spends the next few moments trying to catch up on the implications.
I had to go back and watch it from third person to see what happened. (That's me getting toasted on the right and then spawning in on the left.)

Actually, if anyone else has any great 2v2 maps, I'd love to hear about them.
I think I'll have a Halo party one of these days and 2v2 would be really fun.

Just joined the General club. Boo yah. Now I can pretty much supe up my armor any way I'd like. I like to go with a cohesive theme though, and use parts that other Noble team members aren't already using. Well for shoulder pieces, at least not on the same side like Emile's knife shoulder piece. It's unique to him, it would be lame if I was running around with the same shoulder armor. Unless they seem like they would be something standard issue like the Mk V or Oonsk shoulders. Any suggestions?

I try to do this, too. It's a shame Noble Team uses a lot of the best armor pieces. I'm using the Commando chestpiece right now, with the CQC shoulder pad on the left. I'm working my way to Brigadier to unlock the Mark V shoulder piece for my right arm. Rockin' the JFO helmet right now, though I tend to alternate between that, Recon and Pilot. I'm still not sure which one looks the best.Barrow Roll said:

Interesting that the local player limit is still set to 1. Good news for some of the more object-heavy maps that I've seen. At least Treasury is a decent map; not sure why some of the original, incredibly shitty entries are still in the mix. I hope some changes have been made to them, but I doubt it.Hey You said:

Do shooting the cannons off of the dropships count? If not, it should be quite the challenge.

Unless it starts snowing here (which it might), I won't be home from work for another 8 hours. :-(
Yeah Jeremiah/Ninja on Fire said they made some tweaks of their own and looked for new versions of maps.squidhands said:
Community BTB might be up next he also stated, but no promises.
I want to play some Objective on the maps, I don't really like that its All slayer, all the time.
Well I just got 8 on Beachhead RocketFight. Didn't get the game because I was robbed, so it's not that hard.
This latency whatever it's called for bulltrues is bullcrap.
So in an Infection game, I get a bulltrue, yet the zombie kills me and I get turned into one?
Really? Sometimes it feels like they didn't even test things...

If you kill each other at the same time you'd still get a bull true as that merely requires killing a swordsman while he's lunging. If you don't think he should have killed you, that's another story.
Has anyone determined if the phantom turrets count as vehicle kills? Pretty disappointed at getting FF challenges when the weekly is a bunch of MP matches. Only saving grace is that you can knock out 3 in one match of score attack so not too big a deal. Screw the vehicle one unless you can shoot out the turrets. 1500 for something that will take who knows how many games? I suppose if you go in with a full party you can take turns.
