Honestly Powerhouse is the only one I wouldn't mind seeing in there. Countdown has movement issues and weird unnecessary bits on the doors that make artificial chokepoints. Zealot is ok, but needs more ways to get from the bottom to the topSteelyuhas said:
I don't get why we can't keep having Halo Reach threads and then a separate Halo Anniversary thread. Why put them together? The Anniversary thread will be mainly for campaign and Halo CE talk while the Reach thread will incorporate the multiplayer changes that Anniversary brings (Maps, playlists and others)

Here is my constructive criticism for the TU hopper.
Do not put Zero Bloom on two bad maps.
Thank You

I like multiplayer maps that have lots of overlapping loops - short paths you can take to get behind an enemy that is chasing you. Shortcut jumps that let you quickly move towards someone on your radar. Boardwalk is a lot of straight paths that present you with few options. A jetpack is required if you want to make one of the short circles that I loved in Lockout and Midship.
Check out my forge variant of Boardwalk, let me know what you think:
Promenade
I added new platforms, crates, and a grav lift or two to give players more movement options. Also moved the flag spawn to a more interesting spot. I wish variants like this could make it into matchmaking.
I'd be okay with this, although I like the idea of a thread with HaloGAF in the title. Gives our little community more of an identity.Letters said:
I just don't want us to split Campaign people and Multiplayer people into different threads. I'd rather the split be between Gaming people and Community/HaloGAF people. If that means posting CEA stuff in a Reach thread then fine.Tashi0106 said:

At first it will be like that but it'll go back to normal. Every OT is a Halo community thread, there's no need to label it. We already talk about everything even remotely related to Halo in here and lots of times, things unrelated completely. The gaming side thread will die and everyone will be back in here talking about everything they already do.
Why are you against it? It's not like your precious Reach will be removed from the title. Do you have something against a catch-all Halo |OT| that also treats the latest release (CEA) with respect and not like a map pack to a game that is no longer the latest one to come out?Tashi0106 said:
We should all come up with a few possible solutions and then put it to a vote or something

Yeah, I'd like this, too.ncsuDuncan said:
I've been bogged down with homework, and have only had enough time to play three games in the beta hopper. Underwhelming so far, but that's mostly just cause bad trueskill and quitters. I'm psyched to try it out more.
I think we'll see something akin to the Halo 3 thread vs. the ODST thread for a while, which had a simlar cross-title overlap with the MP maps. In the CEA thread, most discussion will center around the Campaign, but there will be people talking about the new maps and title update stuff. We regulars will talk about Campaign there, probably some here, and likely stick to Reach OT's for most MP stuff.
In a month or two, the CEA thread will die down except for those just picking it up, and we'll all be back into piling into the Reach threads for our regularly scheduled MP shenanegans.
My suggestion at the top of the CEA thread was going to be - go ahead and talk about Reach MP here, but try to keep it focused on the new stuff (Classic hoppers, new maps, etc.). But I don't think anyone will be enforcing hard rules, and the migration will take place naturally.
I'll ask about folding in CEA to this thread going forward. I think we'll do it regardless of label, but we might as well make it official. :lol

That's a pretty good description of the movement frustrations on the map. I queued your variant, I'll check it out next time I'm on.

Reach |OT6| hits 20,000 posts -> make Reach |OT7|
November 8th (a week before, right?) make the CEA |OT| on the Gaming side.
Reach |OT7| hits 20,000 posts -> make HaloGAF |OT1| Reach & Anniversary
I think it would be fitting to retire the dedicated Reach thread at 7.

I just dislike the change. I don't see the need for it. These Official Halo threads are already catch-all Halo threads. Why create a whole new thread just to talk about the same shit?
There needs to be an Anniversary thread in the gaming side for those who aren't hardcore members of HaloGAF like us but I don't see how the release of Anniversary changes Reach enough to warrant a brand new thread.
This is how it should work
Halo Reach thread continues on incorporating what Anniversary adds to the multiplayer, much like ODST.
Halo Anniversary thread is formed in Gaming side
Halo Anniversary thread will eventually die
Halo Reach thread lives on until the release of Halo 4 when we all migrate over to that game.
An official catch-all Halo community thread will get all messed up once Halo 4 is released. The majority of posts in the Halo community will be Halo 4 related and in that thread so the community thread will die down.

CEA on the gaming side -> will die in two months.Tashi0106 said:
Reach until OT7 -> after that it is going to be HaloGAF OT.
Halo 4 comes out -> OT in gaming side, will die in two months-3 months.

Halo |OT| House of the rising dong
Then this thread should be eventually in a new OT edited to Halo Reach & Anniversary |OT|Tashi0106 said:
Feels wrong to continue to talk about all the stuff from the new disc on the thread of the old disc. All the Halo 3 discussion moved to the ODST thread so technically you're the one wanting change and to break tradition.
I'm trying to suggest middlegrounds.
edit-
@Wu Wow I had missed the ban post. I hope the attack to Ram was still on this record and this second offense resulted in a perm.

RIP Official Halo 3 thread. We were without a home for a while. That sucked
edit: Wait what? Won't most of us still be playing from our "old" discs after we're done with Anniversary campaign?

If I can force a way to never play on Reach's stock maps again, the Anniversary disc is a straight upgrade.Tashi0106 said:

Yea. That would be my guess on the one that got it. That post was just way over the line and uncalled for.
Also the voting so far is interesting.
Halo |OT| Anniversary & Reach 7 (33%)
Seperate Halo: Reach |OT7| & Anniversary |OT1| 6 (29%)
HaloGaf |OT1| Anniversary & Reach 4 (19%)
Mike's House of Dong |OT1| We Luvs Haloz 4 (19%)

Man I wonder what kind of playlist variety they will have available on the CEA disc if you completely wipe Reach from the console?? They gotta make it worthwhile no? They can't just have 1 or 2 playlists for people who just have CEA and click on the multiplayer
option... mmm.. even if there's a few Reach maps I enjoy I wouldn't mind giving them up if they take all the bad and the grey ones with them. Complete nuking of Reach from my harddrive might end up being my route. I wish I could straight up choose in my matchmaking options what maps I want to play and the ones I don't.
v Yep. Fuck Reach, with so many other great mp games it's not worth spending time on it unless they deliver good playlists in November.

Pretty shitty post from Laughtrey too let's be honest and judging from Noob's later comment, Laughtrey and him have a bit of a history. I guess we'll never know.
Can we try be a bit nicer to people that join these discussions from now on? Even if they have Halo honour?
Noobs was always civil despite the constant berating of his opinions on here. Some of you guys are the worst. I think it is a damn shame he was banned.

Um the only time people really got on him was when he'd start berating them. So he's no angel either. Also I didn't see anyone cross that line he did by make a post like he did. Keep in mind I've never disliked the guy the way others have either. If anything when he wasn't all over the honor stuff he was pretty likable I thought.
