Alright, this may seem stupid and you may not agree with me, but after 7 months of playing matchmaking, I've realized people truly hate with a burning passion, Isolation. 9/10 times I play matchmaking, if Isolation comes up, everyone vetos. I'm not saying I'm an Isolation-atic, but I don't understand whats so bad? I personally do pretty good on it. This may seem like a stupid thread, but I'd like to see what people think... so please comment and vote in the poll and let me know. What is it? Gameplay? Design? Weapons? -Zstrike13
i actually enjoy the level a lot. think people don't like it because of the lack of cover running up towards the highest points in the level. I personally hate Epitath with a passion its the only map i don't like though.
Yea i understand tht about lack of cover... as for epitaph, i actually like it, yet for some reason i never get it in matchmaking...
I personally don't mind Isolation, But I also don't play a lot of Slayer, or game types that would flow nicely on Isolation. I play a lot of Rocket Race.. So to me Isolation is a horrible level to have a Rocket Race on.
possibly... altho u have to do tht on Standoff and ppl dnt hate tht (do they, ive never heard ppl complain). I think ppl hate the ghost. ik i do... its sort of annoying when some1 uses it, it sort of is too big and powerful for a small map like Isolation, luckily, all of the huge power weapons can destroy it tho, but still, not usually b4 a killing spree yea, i h8 tht too. That mission sucked, especially on legendary lol.
It's because of the hill. Makes gameplay so frustrating when your strafing and then suddenly your view is blocked by a random lump in the hill.
I hate it because the bottom is a little confusing and there is only 2 ways between each base and on top there is no cover and its too vertical which doesn't work with the 360 controller
I don't like it simply because the BR owns face on it. If You don't have one you lose plain and simple. Mostly due to the huge open areas and hills.
Way too little cover, not enough ways between the surface and the underground that actually make sense, and it has a lot of weapons that the map its self makes useless, i.e. the brute shot, spike grenades. You'll notice that none of the DLC maps have any spike grenades on them by default, which means Bungie has learned that they suck ass.
Thats the main reason i dont like it, i know if i get the rockets and the ghost spawns...i blow it up. No second thoughts
As a comptetive gamer, i love isolation, i like the fact, that people, who are used to running away when getting in a fight have less of a chance at successfully running away. Whilst i admit ar starts on isolation annoys me its not bad. The br dominates. Witch is a GOOD THING. The ar, nor needler should dominate a map. Brute shots are effective for CQC, and there is a sniper, and rockets, that can give you a few kills in and there. The ghost only dominates if there is a good driver, or the opposing team dont know how to use the damn jump button. Sniper/Br/Rockets/Plently of spike nades, are available on the map to take out the ghost. Its a pretty well balanced map, you just gotta know to to play it.
