This just made me imagine the return of the Chopper for one reason or another, but the chopper getting the revenant glitch where it just decides to travel one direction at insane speeds.
Do want.
I like the new tunnels in Beaver Creek

Better Magnum, and DMR recoil which worked awesome. Miss the beta DMR so much.. I had no issues with headshots either. Chin music?
Assists also worked great.. I'm assist machine and it hardly get my credit these days.
I loved 1 flag on Sword base. I had that shit down to a science.

Yea that one is great. Shows what is where those obviously forged rocks were at the end of the creek. I must say pretty cool.

Not sure I like the cave addition either. If it ain't broke comes to mind.

As much as I hate the look of forge if it worked right I wouldn't care. So the same logic applies, these maps could be beautiful but if they play wrong or have additional crap that break 'em, I'll be thoroughly disappointed.

It's a bit ridiculous to have shotguns, sword, Rocket Launcher and a Sniper Rifle on such a small map. I really hope this changes. I am kind of liking the extra caves, though.Tunavi said:

Terminal spoiler:
Yeah, I know the saying:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it for the Classic variant."
It seems 343 has heeded that advice. And for all we know the Reach variant was broken until they added those caves.
I like them, I think moving the teleporters further back will push more combat to the center of the map. The extra caves give us extra cover and could provide for some interesting new encounters.
Just look at how terrible the people are in that shotgun video. They aren't going to have as much fun with normal DMR battles as us Walshy-level pros.
It was a really great 1-flag and assault map in Halo 2. Watch out for the train.

It's quite possible the map variants in these public demos have been sprinkled with extra power weapons for the unskilled masses/media.squidhands said:

I think the new Beaver Creek looks like it would be pretty fun for CTF matches. The new areas and ways to get around are going to make it interesting.

I'm optimistic about the tunnels on Beaver Creek and whatever "extras" 343 have put into the CEA maps as long as there is always the option to turn those extras off/cut them out of the map.
These maps are all going to play differently than their original versions. Even if you tweak the sandbox and all the game-play settings to be as close to Halo: CE/2 as possible, there is still the fact that the community has changed. The population at large plays better/differently now than it did during the Halo: CE LAN days.
In other words: I have seen the enemy and they are US!!!!!

Ewww gross. I was talking more like classic Multi-Flag or 1-Flag.

Best FPS experience on a console out there.
I'm sure there will be some mutant version of Beaver Creek where Evade, Armor Lock, and Jet Packs are used to their fullest and most broken extent.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Now the map evades you.A27_StarWolf said:

Oh I've heard the stories. Pretty soon though I'll have the protection of whatever HaloGAF clique adopts me. I've got my fingers crossed that it'll be the "pretends to be dangerous and rebellious, but is actually a bunch of upper-middleclass posers" clique. That was my favorite in High School.
Would be better than Boneyard. Even for BTB, you'd have fewer bad spawns.Devolution said:

At least there are no Shield Doors.
But still... Shotgun doesn't belong.
I was thinking 2 flag, 2 bomb, and Neutral Bomb.-Yeti said:
At least there's no shield doors. If 343 can wipe away Evade from Spartans in MM I'll be happy, but I fear that doesn't happen any time within the next several months.Devolution said:
Yeti, Shotgun does belong on the map. Just not in each base or multiple's on the map.

I know it's been said a great many times, but the new Beaver Creek looks so fucking good. Certain Affinity have some great artists. I am always impressed by the work they put forward.
Also, they must really love the mesh painting features of the Halo Engine. Those walls of beaver creek are covered with all kinds of mosses, smooth stone, and jagged rocky textures. The same things go for the ground. It really is one of the best looking environments I've ever seen in a game before. I say that without even seeing it on my own TV too.

Oh yeah, I forgot there was a Shotgun on Beaver Creek. If they put it in the same place as it was it would be fine, but I had no idea they are putting a Shotgun in each base.
That just seems crazy.

Unless Trasher was playing with my heart, he said he was going last night. Has a plane ticket, but no PAX tickets and no where to stay, lol.
Man, that Beaver Creek shot just reminds me of why I fell in love with Halo. Minimal map design with tons of ways to get around, and built for the greatest core gametypes like Multi Flag.

I still have a Friday badge and a Sunday badge for sale at face value. Metroidvania has first dibs since he messaged me a few days ago and I only just got back to him, but if he doesn't need a badge anymore Trasher is welcome to them.Ramirez said:
