    As much as I really hate Halo 4 maps, I do agree that Reach's maps are just the worst, makes no sense how Bungie made them after making maps like The Pit, Narrows and Valhalla, then on Reach we get Sword Base, Spire and other awful maps.

    And yes, it takes ages to find games in Halo 4.

    Narrows is a horrible map

    What's wrong with it? It's perfectly balanced, and symmetrical! Was one of the best.

    There's (probably) nothing wrong with it. I just think I got dicked over on that map a dispropotionate number of times at the very start. In turned into a psychological problem; not only would I truly dread it when it came up on matchmaking I genuinely think I played worse on it.

    Haha, yeah I had that problem with some of them too!

    Narrows could be abused by pros. The elevation into spawn meant that, if you were up against an enemy that was too tough, it quickly turned into hell.

    You could do that on almost any map if you have a good team.
  • Deleted user 7 August 2013 15:23:16
    Of course, but the nature of Narrows - being... narrow, and with a raised middle, meant it always felt especially awful. I remember one game being sniped on spawn, over and over. Wasn't great. The Pit, for instance, had better spawning. But then The Pit is one of the all time greats, imo.

    Same can be said for Standoff + hogs - if two good hogs got going, it was total domination. Good and bad.

    I've got very fond memories of the H3 beta, there were 3 maps to that right? Valhalla, Snmowbound and High Ground iirc.
  • Deleted user 7 August 2013 15:27:35
    Oh yeah, I loved high ground.

    The dlc maps for 3 were mostly excellent too.

    I just loved the maps on Halo 3 in general. Even the ones I didn't like had there positives. Like Epilogue, was a poor map, but fun for Crazy King on Multi-Team.
  • Deleted user 7 August 2013 15:52:48
    There were still complaints about DLC maps then, though. Social Team DLC did solve a lot, however.

    Epitaph, the original name iirc, was crap - but yes, Multi-Team was great on it. I never liked High Ground.

    Everyone complains about the Reach maps, but none of them played that bad In my opinion.

    Mixture between AA and the maps in general made them horrible in my opinion. The only ones I like were the Anniversary maps and the forged remakes, so really non Reach maps. Something they need to get right for Halo 5.

    Anyone know of any Halo 4 bargains at the moment? My mate and his wife genuinely want it for a wedding present!

    Edit:
    Future-wife, obv

    At least Ragnarok is good. If they sorted the DLC then we will get more variation.

    Exile is a lot better now they removed the Gauss Warthog.

    I just feel its another map they cared more about it looks than actually how it plays.

    It is missing a bit of structure, but I dunno. I quite like it. I like the way that action moves around rather than sticking to the usual choke points.

    Jut got my Killtacular, woo!

    @altitude2k

    For me its always exile, settler, settler, settler, exile, meltdown, exile, exile, settler x3 etc etc etc yawn etc

    Moving to infinity slayer its: adrift, haven , adrfit x 12

    Variety isn't high on halo players minds. 343 really don't help with their bullshit weighting towards certain maps.

    The above is the major reason I can only stomach halo mp in short bursts.

    I do miss Wreckage for BTB. They need to start thinking about putting the first 3 packs up for free and in proper rotation.
  • Deleted user 10 August 2013 19:14:50
    That big, long, thin BTB map was quite good. Harvest?

    Shame I never got to play it.

    I think I managed to play Harvest twice, maybe? Such a shame, was fun in a Rat's Nest kinda way.

    Harvest is one of my favourite maps on the game. Hope they sort this DLC shit out soon.

    Hey guys, I made a compilation video of some of my finest moments in Halo Reach and I'd appreciate it if you could give it a quick watch (it's 6 minutes long).



    Posting this here because the Reach thread is (understandably) dead. Thanks! :)

    Watched and liked.  Nicely put together, but um, not a lot of skillz on show?  Some funny bits though.

    Well I'm not a super hardcore player or anything :p Only made it to General before I stopped playing and used to play the fun playlists more than the serious ones (Living Dead was my favourite). Thanks for watching it though :)

    That did remind me of one thing, though. Why didn't the Falcon make the Halo 4 MP cut?
