Fracas bros get a pass anyways.
Guys, I swear trueskill exists. These games were one after another...
Biggy never plays with me
i think you misunderstood my point in the other thread. i wasnt arguing splash damage, just pointing out that had the rocket landed a bit to the right he could have killed all 3.

LMAO. Never understood people who get so angry like that. Reminds me of the time I got called a cheating piece of shit on Titanfall PC. Guys were all like oh you're gonna get banned you piece of shit. I'm like um ok sure. I'm a cheater because you guys sucked ass. Sure thing.
It just floors me that people act that way because you were either better then them or got the upper hand in an encounter.

I wouldn't count on it. If anything, it'll be TMCC. I doubt we'll see 343 focus on anything but until after it releases.
Either way, gonna be nice to have rockets back that aren't the nukes of Reach and 4.
I liked the Halo 3 rockets personally, because they could be countered if you jumped at the right time. And it would knock your shields out.
Hope something for NYCC is announced. I might head down if it is.

Right, I forgot NYCC is October.

It's up in the air in the moment, I'm considering the possibility of moving down to the Austin area, that's how much I loved it down there when I visited last month.

Not going to lie, I would not be mad if they brought back swordbase for Halo 5, it was one of those maps that were so bad it was good.
Actually, that's an interesting thought experiment: if you were doing "Reach Anniversary", what changes would you make to Swordbase akin to CA's touch-ups for CEA and H2A? I guess you could have another passageway up from the bottom so you could avoid the lift room of carnage, and maybe make that wall transparent to deter camping in that intersection, but I dunno if that would do anything but lessen the camping somewhat. It's still a blind jump up the lift.
I include Hang 'em High in that category. I love playing on it, but that doesn't mean I didn't just camp shotgun hallway like it was going out of style, and win a lot of games doing it.

That is the only real change I'd make is the other way up like you mentioned so you can avoid lift room. That or open up that room next door to the outside a bit more so you can at least ping folks hiding in that room from the other side at least. You could decorate it as a cafeteria or something to explain the openness on the outer wall of it.
I think quite a neat way of making the lift a bit less of a blind jump would be to have some form of screen at the bottom showing the top like a security camera.
Actually, having screens and cameras in Forge would be bloody awesome. It would be brilliant for mini games and machinimas.
That'd be cool from gameplay, but for machinima screen replacement takes all of literally fifteen seconds to do in After Effects.

-Make the map bigger and more open corridors
-Add another lift
-Breakable windows
-Add windows to the lift room of death
-Interactive buttons to disable lifts, lights and make map dark. Starting emergency lights to highlight keypoints.

Sword Base would be good with lower-range precision weapons, balanced vertical movement options and standardized weapon / power set starts.
EDIT: A truly symmetrical variant that used the lift room half on both sides could help, too.

The only changes necessary would be making it an exclusive oddball map. Anything else would be a disservice to the perfection that was swordball oddbase.
True, however you could set up some cool mirror style rooms which wouldn't be so easy to set up in after effects...

I always confuse you for Overdoziz with that color scheme.
He's been really consistent too.

Anymore thoughts on what final H2A map was given a face lift? What's left?
......
That leaves Beaver Creek, Colossus, and Waterworks. As much as I love Colossus, and the fact that it supports both slayer and objective, as well as 4v4 and 8v8 games, I don't know if it was liked as well in the community
. Beaver Creek was actually pretty popular - being an original CE map. It also supports slayer and objective well, along with 2v2 and 4v4 games. However, Waterworks would be the most fun to redo from a developer's point of view, and it was fairly popular with the community. So yeah, I guess I'd go with Waterworks at this point. Come on PAX!
......
Foundation- unlikely as it really only supported a couple objective game types well and BTB is not really possible.- Beaver Creek
Burial Mounds- unlikely as a fun but less popular map- Colossus
Headlong- unlikely since it was redone in ReachIvory Tower- unlikely since it was redone in ReachMidship- unlikely since it's been shown for Halo 5- Waterworks

I would love to see Headlong again, but yeah since it was a Reach map I have a feeling they'll chose Waterworks. It's a shame because Headlong is one of my all time favorite BTB maps.
What about Relic? I know a lot of people really like that map.
Hands-down my favorite times playing Halo have been 1Flag Relic, but I've never seen it as a particularly versatile map. Compared to Containment, Terminal or Waterworks I don't think it'd be a smart choice.
I don't think the "was redone in Reach" is a good counter argument since the known maps were all remade at some point sofar.
If we don't count forge remakes then at least Lockout and Zanzibar were already in halo 3.
And Reach is not in the MCC included so those maps are not present in the game in their remastered form.
Though I also think it will be waterworks or containment.
It has to be something were their new invented gungoose makes sense, though I would prefer another smaller map, so H2A would have enough different maps for tourneys
Edit: Terminal would be ace

Wow, Goatrope was on track towards WR time on Legendary Halo CE, but he choked one of the tricks on the last level and to had to reset.
Someone say RESET?!

Yeah, but Reach doesn't feel like it was that long ago, honestly. I would enjoy Headlong being redone - my all-time favorite BTB map. Also, I thought there was confirmation that none of the H2A maps would be DLC content. None of my reasons are necessarily great, but I was itching to make a post today and needed something to talk about lol. If DLC maps were included, I'd be okay with several (Relic, Terminal, Warlock, and Containment)

Is that no DLC maps thing confirmed? Because Sanctuary was a DLC map, and it's in H2A. Unless that rule only applies to the remaining maps.
