That's a good thing if you think about it. I mean, nobody's complaining about any sandbox decisions or anything.Thagomizer said:

No, we can't. I think it's the best name of the 4. Though Powerhouse and Overlook are pretty good, too. If any name sucks it's Boneyard. Boneyard? Are you kidding me?Dirtbag said:
There's still cool names we've seen in the series but the maps still flatout suck.
See Isolation, Gemini, Epitaph, and Orbital. But then there's names like Elongation, Battle Creek, and Coagulation that shout "WTF mang!" and turn out to be pretty damn good (yes, I liked Elongation. CTF Classic in that map was great).

But no, it's the Longsword Base! Don't you see that makes it okay?Lunchbox said:
(To the men who argue this, I submit: "Warthog Garage", not "Turf".)

I'm failing to understand how the names of the maps affects how good/bad they are.
Did this become the new Sonic 4 thread witout me knowing it?

I'm saying, a name is a name. It's not something that should be an end-all regarding the quality of the object in question.
.. Nevermind, I just remembered this is GAF.

It would be the Sonic thread if we were complaining that the engine is glitchy, the classic gameplay of the originals was nowhere to be found, and armor abilities are so powerful they make campaign way too easy.2 Minutes Turkish said:

The quality of ther map makes or breaks the name, not the other way around.
"Battle Creek" :lol :lol :lol :lol
Shit name, but fucking AWESOME map, so no one notices how dumb the name is.

I challenge HaloGAF to identify the following ten literally-named Halo series maps:
Diving Board
Beam Rifle Factory
Teleporters
Sphincter
Ship Middle
Two Boxes
Warthog Garage
Space Station
Big Wheel
Floating Ice House

That is why it's terrible. It's something some kid came up with. You just know there will be 5 times as much tea-bagging on that level. And sex jokes. It's fueling stupidity.Dirtbag said:

Yeah!
Sword Base is really Jorge Gets Stabbed, Repeatedly, With Swords.
Powerhouse is really Carter Takes His Anger Out On Colonists And Drowns Them
Etc

The term Multi-Sphincter is more suitable.

People complaining about these map names is just proof that no matter what Halo fans will complain about anything and everything. :lol
A good map is a good map and the name doesn't change that. Hell I love The Pit from Halo 3 but what kinda name is that? Does the map resemble a pit at all?

I do admit that Blood Gultch is just a pretty badass name and adds to the map a little.
We just got info on new maps today and we're already complaining about something like the names? :lol
I'm uber pumped for this beta, holy shit.
Also for custom games in the final release I'm hoping the armor abilities are customizable. I was thinking today how awesome it would be to have unlimited jet pack boost, that would make for some awesome custom game fun.

I meant Hang 'Em High, not Relic, but otherwise you are entirely correct!Merguson said:
Although "Two Boxes" could actually apply to several maps in the Halo universe, including both Battle and Beaver Creek.

To be fair bungie, would probably put teeth in it to kept it balanced.
I really don't care what a map is called. I think at least half of Halo 3's and large chunks o the other games have poor map names, but you get used to it almost instantly. There's been more conversation about the names than the maps themselves, FFS.

I was looking at Overlook, and the layout looks interesting. It seems to be broken into three main segments, with rows of firing lines along each.
Looks like the kind of map where an advancing team would be taking sections of the map in sequence as they approach the main compound. Given that Generator Defense is on it, that kind of play makes sense: the attacking team needs to work through layers of defenses to get to the final set of generators. Each section probably has a unique name for easy call outs.
Halo 3 didn't really have this kind of a map; stuff like High Ground was all about sneaking through different entry points, not using the expanse of cover to move through the map in stages. I'm digging the concept.

I honestly don't mind Boneyard, I just think it's ridiculous that people are complaining about Sword Base when they could be complaining about Boneyard :lol
