Autism.

You're early.

Keep fighting the good fight.

>Isolation
Pretty bad map, but that's mostly because it's coming off of He's superior map roster and into Halo 3's lackluster one.

Why are the Halo 3 launch maps so fucking shit?

>Construct
>shit

>Why are the Halo 3 launch maps so fucking shit?
Max Hoberman's team left bungie after Halo 2 was released.

They made most of the Halo Reach DLC as well as almost all the Halo 4 and Halo 2 Anniversary maps.

They didn't make any Halo 5 maps and what a surprise! Halo 5 has abysmal maps.

Because Bungie got lucky with Halo, and actually had no idea what made it good in the first place.

Construct is pretty fucking bad.

It's a map with 3 levels of play and one of them has 99% of the action.

>Construct
>Good
Yeah, no.

That doesn't make a map bad, though.
The minefield on Sandtrap doesn't see much action outside of custom games. I guess the map is godawful because of it.

Nice mental gymnastics. The minefield is essentially a barrier.
Normal play doesn't lend itself to using it.
Meanwhile Constructs boreal play is confined to less than a third of the actual map.
It's just bad design.

It's not THAT bad, but it's definitely poorly designed and tested.

And still no /hg/ photo

>reach DLC
>halo 4
>good

>halo 5
>bad

Will /hg/ ever have good taste?

>Normal play doesn't lend itself to using it.
Except for when it does, which is why the minefield operates at a speed which is slightly slower than a Warthog.
>Meanwhile Constructs boreal play is confined to less than a third of the actual map. It's just bad design.
The action progressing up to the top floor and staying there doesn't make it bad. Just saying it's bad is not an argument.

(YOU)

Nice rebuttal.

...

>there is someone in this foul world that doesn't want to remove Pegasus from matchmaking

Dev forge maps were a mistake.

I never liked construct myself for this reason. Halo 3 only had a few maps at launch I would say we're worth playing, and even then they were pretty games mode specific like 1 flag on high ground.

Luckily the DLC upped the ante

Cawfee

You have no power here, Kek.

Forge maps were a mistake. You can probably count the number of decent forge maps from 5 in matchmaking on one hand, counting Breakout maps as well.
So far I have three, and they're all exclusive to Breakout. And I don't even know the name of one of them.

A-Myyyyyy

To each their own. I enjoy most of the forge maps in matchmaking.
In fact, I enjoy most of them more than 343's arena maps.

Most of the BTB maps are ok, i just wish they updated them with the new textures and stuff.

>In fact, I enjoy most of them more than 343's arena maps.
That's sometimes true for me, but that's not saying much.

>in matchmaking
The good maps almost never, ever get into matchmaking. The entire system is full of circlejerking and the Cartographers getting their buddies' maps in.

I like basin

I absolutely hated that map at launch but the more i play on it, the more i like it. Calling it a "Valhalla" remake was a mistake though.

You'll be gone soon asshole

Basin is better than the Valhalla remake

Basin is better than Valhalla, but two base open-air maps don't work well in 5.

I like how if you left the game running, the flood stuff would take over the map.

Its still a mediocre map but the rest of Halo 3 maps carry this and snowbound so whatever.

I'd like more gimmick maps like that

Gween team.

It really is a shame about none of the 343 maps serve a purpose or really have anything outside of them.
The most one of those maps does is Riptide, with a whale outside. There's no giant waterfall with sentinels in the distance giving you the idea that you're below the campaign level. There's no glass floor or outside deck showing that you're in a super-high tower, or super-high tower 2 Citadel boogaloo. Nothing like that.

They on't spend enough time with the maps to even care

you guys ever play SPV3? im about to try it out.

I'm biased as shit about it, but it think it's pretty good. A lot of gameplay variety, pretty much all of the added features are really fun to play with, and decent enough graphics.

im glad i still have my cd key on hand, this brings me back

im excited, i think im gonna play through the campaign without the mod first though for old times sake and to see whats changed.

Which is even funnier when you consider that many of the maps have been done for months before the game even released, and they've been waiting to release them but add nothing to them.

They could've done more polishing instead of jerking off in a money pile

/hg/ watches Olypmic Games when?

Anyone down for some triple team or doubles?

2 hours 40 minutes to opening

>tfw johnny stopped following you

i hope someone gets shot and mugged live on tv

QUICK!

An ONI black bag team is on their way to kill you after one of your shitposts on waypoint has been mis interpreted as innie sympathising.

The object to your right is the weapon you'll use to defend yourself.

How screwed are you

Billions*

No Sapient Sunrise are nothing more than a violent bunch of innies who only care about the people died on Bilko and nowhere else.

Is 343 going to take this anywhere?
Are we going to get a favela level in Halo 6? Are we going to get a short story about some sangheili trying to start a new life on earth like District 9 in Halo Fractures coming out this September?

The Pit was probably my favorite of the bunch

good ridance

Obligatory halo makes good papes bump

That could actually be pretty neat, a bunch of dirty hinge-heads trying to make a life in the ghettos

...

How did an elite get to earth in the first place? I can understand the situation in the colonies but earths's security should be tight.

>This armor design is bad.
t. MT DEW VOL7AGE

Sometimes the hand of God interferes when he sees I'm just being way too shit at video games. This is one of those times.

You don't like how a map plays so its bad? Only retards camp with the sword and only retards get killed by someone who camps with the sword. Theres an overshield underneath, maulers in the same building AND windows to throw grenades through.

No one runs the rockets straight away to avoid the nades, so again if you get killed there you're a fucking retard. There's also the camo, which can help you grab the rockets if they're still nailed down. Snipers aren't a massive issue unless you have someone who is pretty good with one on the opposite team and even then theres is enough room to manoeuvre since the map isn't one open wide space.

I'm not a fan of the >youre just bad meme BUT you actually sound pretty bad. Also its funny you have to spend time in paint to point out pretty moot points on a map that is about as widely regarded as a fan favourite

>almost every pro match ends around 50-48

:^)

See

>quoting my post talking about matches NEVER being one-sided
How is that a bad thing?

>A map is bad because pros almost always finish even

Ok

you're lucky you're already blacklisted

Have you actually played the game at high level, though? There's literally no reason to go anywhere if you already have the lead.

I've never been a fan of camera helmets desu

So the map is bad because it isn't as good for very high level play? I bet you are absolutely in love with 5s multiplayer.

Gungnir in Reach got a pass because it was the only one with that.
Then we got to 4 where so many of them didn't even have cameras.

Exactly.

anyone playing warzone firefight? i wouldn't mind partying up or something. i'm level 31 (lol).

Deserters, getting stuck on earth during the great schism, jumping shit, jackal traders

Who's up to for some Halo 2 Vista or Halo online matches?

Fuck you kid, you're next.

If someone joins my session like this fucker did; I have to bully them once. If they're being a complete shitter; they'll get ran over "by accident" :^)

I'm down for Halo Online
Which server we hopping on?

I'll tell you in a couple of hours.

Do you have a discord group or something like that?

Seems like most generals do nowadays.

It's fun to hop on every once in a while.

You're gonna want to use this for easier mod support. From experience, weapon mods need to be a the very top of priority list.

Made your dinner.

Are there more of these?
