Yep. Same dealio with lockout. Hmm... Too bad someone at 343 likes the hazy tints?

This looks so amazing. Please add color to this map 343.
...I second this motion.

Wow what a huge difference. Same thing applied to lockout with a more blue filter and it looks way better than their sun goldened version.

Well, they must be doing something right seeming as we're all just complaining about colour schemes.

Give it a moment, gotta see how they fuck up Team Skirmish for Halo 2 on Thursday
"SMG starts"
"4v4 Coagulation"
"Team Ball Backwash"

quick and bad photo edit. edit on the left, original on right
if the juicy filter is still in there, might be able to get a result close to that
edit: original on left in this one
God damn those look much better.
Juicy filter on by default on all my forge maps.

Right? I'm not even mad, just stating preferences. I'm excited as hell for H2A.

yeah this is the best one so far
So you guys would rather have, in addition to halo 2 warlock, lockout, Zanzibar, etc.... An anniversary version of those that's exactly the same but looks prettier?
Zzzzzzzz
Just treat them as brand new maps. The originals are still there brehs
I like those maps for a reason!
Like I'm totally cool with new stuff, just put it in a different map. I'd much rather play a prettier Lockout in the way it was designed than prettier Lockout with a stalactite.

Thankfully you'll have that option. Whether or not that version will be in matchmaking remains to be seen (on Thursday?).

Uh, there are "Classic" versions of all the H2A maps if I'm not mistaken. I think the gameplay differences with H2A are going to be much more dramatic than the differences in map layout anyway.

they could learn to strategize.
tawp, that argument is weak, just because the originals are there; people should just accept whatever changes the MP team decides to make?
But that's be so redundaaaaannt
I'd rather have new maps too, but in the spirit of h2a some old maps reimagined with new twists is awesome. The old ones are still there if you wanna play, so I don't see the point of complaining about additions in the new ones. Keeps it fresh. Could even play better for some of them. Kinda like how mlg versions of maps played better.
And @ragnarok... Umm yes? Don't see how h2a additions are supposed to impede anyone's fun in wanting to play halo 2 gameplay on the maps they remember in 60 fps. If you want them to just look prettier than I gotta say that's just superficial.
Is it just me or are the grenades stronger with their shake increased compared to the Zanzibar gameplay? During the Zanzibar footage, it seemed as if the shake was all but eliminated, even with nades at your feet. During this Warlock footage, while definitely nowhere near how it was during the Sanctuary or Lockout reveals, it's a bit more pronounced again with a slight shake? Or am I mistaken?

oh.
Why must you guys show pics of what these maps could have been ;'[

What Zanzibar gameplay are you talking about? I think I missed that.
You've probably seen this before. Watch as the grenades land here, compared to the new Warlock gameplay.
Here is a much nicer version at 60 fps.

I wonder if the mostly monotone looking maps is a limitation of the engine, or an artistic choice. While I almost think it's an artistic choice, the concept art vs final makes me question that.. the concepts have such a larger range, as well as more variety in decals, such as the graffiti on Zanzibar/Stone Town.
get off my lawn
Bloodline looks more like a scab.
The actual design is pretty cool though. The weird Eye of Sauron thing is weird though and the mans cannons are... ehhhhhhh.
I despise being drowned in this muddy "gritty" aesthetic. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COLOR?

Nice edit. It definitely needs som blue in there.

Love most of them. This is just terribly lame though compared to the concept art bro.
In case you didn't notice, most of the maps AREN'T. Which is why it'd have been nice for this one to not have a gritty shit filter.

So I was confused by the cover on the red cliff that made me think it was the caves and they flipped the bases, but it looks like the just added an arch and some cover over red cliff.
When has something ever looked exactly like concept art?
I mean, it'd be nice if you could just take a piece of concept art and magically make it turn into a full fledged 3D world, but the real world doesn't work like that.
I think the new maps are just god damn awesome. Players will stand out great since they will contrast against the backgrounds.

That looks awesome.
Coag.
Ew. I like/love the look of most of the other H2A maps, but this aesthetic is just kind of gross. It'll peobably be fun to play on, but sheesh, that does not live up to the potential of a modern Coag at all.

Bloodline is pretty ugly, it completely ruins the aesthetic of the original map. I was hoping we'd get a remake with the right color pallet after Hemorrhage, but instead they made an uglier map :/
Also the final map being Warlock is super disappointing, that map can be remade perfectly in Forge and this means every single map in H2A is a remake of something that was already remade or was a remake its self, no love given to any Halo 2 only maps. Also that means we have 4 small maps and Forge for small scale games and only Coag and Zanzibar for big games, that's pretty bad balance if you ask me and it isn't going to get any better because of the lack of DLC.

Exile's color pallet was more along the lines of what I'd expect from a modern Coag, though the concept art of Bloodline was good too.
Yeah, because it isn't possible to take the colour scheme from concept art and apply it to a 3D space.

The aesthetics of Bloodline are so ugly and depressing I don't even want to play it, hell I don't even want an RvB video on the map anymore, it doesn't even look like Coag.
Kind of reminds me of how The Pit remake was handled.

still has that Yellow haze that plagues 343 halo.

True, but it's still better than the drab brown for Bloodline.
Look at one of my posts in the previous page. It doesn't have to be just yellow, but a variety of hazes in a sense. I don't really like it much.
You people are all going overboard on the color adjustments. You don't need to touch saturation levels. All you need to do is a white balance adjustment to shift everything to remove the color cast.
As for color casts, at least 343 changes it up. Halo Reach is tinged a sickly blue-green for essentially every campaign mission.

This looks a lot better, but is still really ugly. The map needs the original color pallet, it needs grass.
I agree that most of the color adjustments that have been posted look sort of garish...
Your image corrects much of the hazy vibe, but I disagree about saturation. It's still screaming for stronger chroma. (And cleaner geometry, but that's another issue.)
Whatever Reach does, it doesn't have the same sort of annoying haziness as Halo 4.
(Even though it does have quite a bit of fog.)

Dude. Do the same thing to Lockdown (Lockout remake). The difference is astounding on that one too.

TotalBiscuit has pointed out this trend in gaming as well. A lot of new games are always being saturated with strange filters and overall blurriness. That's why a lot of people use SweetFX on their computer games.
