Is Bungie the dumpster? I don't get it.Letters said:
I disagree entirely. Reach is good game. All the main Halo games are. Now, whether or not it is a good "Halo" game is an entirely different debate. When it comes to visuals and gameplay, Reach, along with every other Halo shooter released this generation, is remarkably different than most shooters out there in the "market of oversaturated FPS games." With Reach, an average gamer can point to it and say, "Oh. That's Halo." Reach's campaign has its strengths, like every Halo does. Same goes for multiplayer. And even if it does fall flat in most respects, it does so in a manner entirely different from most FPS games (most of those failed respects, anyway).Rickenslacker said:
Nothing's wrong with Forge maps, but I'd rather play on developer-made maps. Bungie has tried for two games now to successfully implement Forge maps into matchmaking and both times have come up too short. Personally, for Halo 4, unless 343 can really streamline the process and come out with mostly good maps, I'd rather not see any more Forge maps in MM besides a community playlist.Dani said:

Unless forge becomes a legit map maker, not just a map editor on steroids I agree completely. Also sacrificing real maps in order to ship them as forge maps was a damn crime. (*cries about how we lost a real Sanctuary remake to Asylum*)

You have a point, but I think the problem is two-fold. The best map maker in the world won't do you any good if you can't get the best content into the matchmaking quickly and easily (and that goes for removing bad ones from matchmaking).Steelyuhas said:

There's at least one thing Valve is continuing to do right with TF2, and both Bungie and 343 better be aware of their map implementation. If we continue to get a map editor and not be allowed to work with the real tools then it must be some sort of perpetually cruel joke on the community.Steelyuhas said:

Forge is still a good idea, but again it's something implemented poorly in Reach. We don't see enough integration into say a community map playlist with the best and brightest maps. And the fact that it seemed to be a substitute to real dev maps made it even worse.
A bunch of ideas in Reach aren't bad but their implementation leaves so much to be desired.

What I would really love in Halo 4 is a continuation of other players hosting and being unable to dictate host in customs. So every time I load it up, and the host is good, the game can tell me "NO FUCK YOU" and host switch to something terrible.

Reflection was almost cut because it didn't have a place in the campaign for a long time. There was also a real map instead of The Cage at one point, internally named 'Blockout', but they cut the map because it's location in campaign was cut. Integrating the MP maps into the campaign was really a mistake, as Marcus admitted lol.
Dax01 said:
Yeah that's very true.

Yeah that was a definite mistake. It didn't really add anything and actually gives either the perception of laziness on Bungie's part by recycling environments.
I liked what they did in Halo 2 though, where maps were based off campaign environments as appropriate (like Colossus, Turf) but this didn't prevent them from making maps that had a different aesthetic from anything seen in the campaign. Lockout, Ivory Tower, and Backwash immediately spring to mind.

An internal name for a map usually doesn't end of being the actual name of the map. I doubt it would have been called Blockout if the map wasn't cut.

The only reason I died as much as I did is because even though the other team (mostly) sucked... they knew enough to team up on me. I had four people teamshotting me at almost all times.
I have NO clue how that game selection was made.
Those players are a nova at heart obviously.

Welcome to Reach.
This is one of the problems when you have an invisible ranking system is you can't see it working. Is it there but just a very bad system? Is it not matching me up properly? Is my skill bugged out and stuck at a particular level?
It's seemingly random and that just makes the situation worse.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Do you honestly think Bungie intentionally "stole" the name for an internal in-progress map from a random Forge map your friend made?Booties said:

What now!?
Certain Affinity stole the Highlands name.
Halo thread have staying power, another forum I post at will be soon celebrating it's 7th year of having a continous Halo thread on a non-Halo centric forum. Add the population of GAF and I can see why it'd be able to pull it off easily.
From themselves.
The internal/original name of Tombstone was Highlands, and it's still highlands.map in the Halo 2 files.

Yup I mean everyone knows that Bungie always goes through the database of what maps everyone has made in Halo 3 so that they can steal their names for internal map names.
