:O With the new v7 Maps/Gametypes Gaurdian Ball and Slayer have been dropped in favour of Heretic? AND there's still a sword on Heretic! Post below with your comments ie. Guard vs Heretic or Maps that should be removed / added.
I'm glad Guardian TS is finally removed. At the higher levels of play it just turned into standoffs that resulted in one team holding the snipe while the other team waits for camo to respawn so they can make a charge. That was no fun to play or watch. Guardian ball on the other hand will be missed, but I like all 3 Heretic games being added to the lineup so I'll survive.
I hate Heretic. I don't have ODST and I played it for the first time yesterday and I lost every game I played on it. I didn't even do bad, I just didn't know where to go to help with spawns and stuff. I'll probly grow to like it over time, but as of now it's my least favorite map on the circuit.
It's just because your not pro enough... Go back to basketball novak JK I really wouldn't mind if they would have a mythic 2 DLC, instead of having to rely on a disc. Anyway Novak, i need a 10 in doubles.
Personally I dont like Heritic (I think its to dark) I liked Midship (much brighter) better. Not a big fan of Gaudian either so I guess Im at a loss here.
It just doesn't make any damn sense to me... Guardian was one of the most favored maps in history... Heretic too, but the flow that Guardian has blows Heretic'S out of the water. Trying to move around Heretic is like moshing with the map's geometry, Guardian felt bigger (may be bigger if I'm not mistaken) and more open while still having very appropriate lines of sight. Heretic also has a different kind of gameplay which is the kind of game where you BR someone until they get to cover and have one of their teamates kill you. All Heretic is, from my experience, is CQB with BR starts and too many grenades which causes camping, unorganized random games and people thinking, "They replaced Guardian with this ****?????" What I really want to know is why Guardian was taken out and not Construct (a.k.a. Cuntstruct), the most unbalanced map in matchmaking. It's the easiest map to spawn kill on, the easiest camping map and the worst lift usage in any map I've seen (bungie made anyway). Back on topic, I don't hate that Heretic is in more than I hate that Guardian is out. Why couldn't bungie just add a new map instead of trading one? Why did bungie take out the most played map in custom games aside from foundry and sandbox? Why did they remove the map all together instead of the one gametype they felt was unfair? Why did they keep CUNTSTRUCT???
People have played guardian and black/lockout too much and want something new, soon people will dislike heretic. (This is my personal opinion, if you feel it is untrue, too bad.)
Sorry to bump but this is important. I met iGotUrPistola in the MLG playlist and even HE said he prefered Guard to Heretic. So the pro/s prefer it, the community prefer it, and STILL GOD DAMN CUNTSTRUCT RUINS MLG.
Some pro players prefer Guardian because that was the map they were best at. Pistola is one of those pros. The problem with Guardian was that it, far more than Pit, encourages teams to split the map and camp between power weapon spawns. If there weren't a sniper and camo on that map I assure you many high level games of TS Guardian wouldn't end until time was up. Let me break down 2/3's of level 40+ MLG on TS Guardian. Team 1: Player blue window, Gold 2, Gay Jump, Camo Team 2: Snipe 2, Green 2, Snipe 3, Rotation Snipe 1, 2, and elbow I like Guardian as an FFA map, or with Ball, but otherwise Heretic just makes for more fast-paced entertaining gameplay, and doesn't break the balance needed in MLG.
Here is y Gaurdian is gone, were at MLG Charlotte last year. My friends team (im just a sub/coach) is playing the last game which is of course TS Guardian. The game is 49 48 my buddies team. The other team kills him at Blue window, so you know we think okay game is tied 49 49 and he will spawn at gold (where his team was set up) no he spawns S2 Ramp with one at s1 and one at s2, he is instantly assassinated and the game is over. That is why Guardian should and is gone, the spawn set up is complete bs. Not to mention ball is gay, dont get me wrong i like the map but im tired of it in mlg. Now heretic, aka midship was everyone's fave ffa/warm up for H2, so why not for H3 i think it will be a nice addition to the lineup. Also some of the pro's like Guardian yeah, but alot of the pros ****ing hate it. For one everyone thought it was going to be our most beloved and best map of all time "Lockout" but it wasn't so automatically it was disliked in that sense (not to mention that Blackout blows big ****) and although i do have fun running ffa's on the map its gotten old. In halo 2 we didn't have enough maps so we had to stick with the normal Lockout, Midship, Beaver Creek. But with h3 forge maps can and could easily replace some maps.
