Nice find, I've attempted to contact Mick about Rat Race and sent Mac a message on MLG about Rockout, hopefully they get in contact with Jeremiah in time.
Hurray! Lucky coincidence, I was actually considering naming it Rat Trap for years, but decided to just go with the original to make it more obvious to people.
Any word on the Guardian and Narrows remakes shown in the videos? And if you guys could help Predicide out, his remake of Ghost Town is fantastic! It's stickied in the competitive section currently. Even if you don't like Ghost Town, please suggest it. Variety is the spice of life.
The Narrows remake (Atrocity I think?) has some pretty crippling frame-rate issues, so that's probably a no-go. Guardian remakes tend to have the same issues, but maybe one might pop up without lag. Anyways, how would anyone go about helping this playlist, or any other community playlist for that matter? It feels like bungie is really taking a step forward with community maps, and now I'm genuinely excited for good maps in matchmaking.
ok so far ive played 8 out of the 9 maps, Rockout excluded.(not in Mac XLs file share for some reason.) Overall i gotta say they were better than i anticipated. I was disappointed with the selection, i would've liked to see different maps chosen (personal opinion of course.) Mainly, every BTB map(Prays for BTB Classic) in Halo2 and Pit,Guardian, etc., but it seems as they were going more Halo 1 (aside from prophet.) Prophet is the best midship remake ive seen, but i just dont get the same vibe (purple anyone?) from the map. I didnt care for the Nade Launcher replacing the sword either. Damnation, Beaver Creek, and even Prolonged (perfect remake imo not in space unfortunately) have me really excited. This playlist should be a fan favorite. Also, Congrats on living the dream Mick Raider
unfortunately you are probably correct titmar. as of right now there none of those are on the playlist tsb, but im sure if any deserving maps are submitted they will be inserted along with these. That ghost town map had me excited, i could see it in this playlist. EDIT: I also noticed the OP mention Rockout possibly being on tempest. I find that very very unlikely. Odds are its on a forgeworld canvas like the rest of them.
Agreed on all counts. Less so for Construct but I wouldn't turn it down. I didn't even really enjoy Ghost Town in H3 but can see it being much more enjoyable in Reach with the different movement dynamic, though I fear for the middle building with the increased nade spam problems. I'll try and get some games on it. I'd like to see more CE maps, in particular Jeenyus' Prisoner remake which is awesome. However, not really suited to 4v4 so I can see why it didn't make the cut.
-Hang Em High -Damnation -Derelict -Wizard -Battle Creek -Longest -Rat Race -Midship -Lockout If im not mistaken the only non BTB maps not in the playlist from Halo:CE are Prisoner, Chiron TL-34, and Chill out. I would've like to see those make it over a few of the other maps but im satisfied. Im Pretty sure its Rockout. None of those videos contain maps from the playlist. The OP just added them because he thought they should be i guess.
I'm really trying to find the Guardian remake in the original post. It's the best one I've seen, and framerate didn't look too bad.
The 4th video in OP was obviously a remake of Headlong if you guys didn't notice..... Lol. It's not supposed to be a remake of anything. It's just Classic Gametype settings on a regular Reach map, and it looks pretty good to me. I think Highlands (with weapon changes) would benefit from these settings also. That's what a Classic Playlist should entail right? The FEEL of Halo. Not simply playing ForgeWorld remakes. This is my opinion. The playlist shouldn't be about experiencing old maps, it should be about rekindling the gameplay of past Halo games. Obviously it's easy to do this with remakes, but if the gameplays boring then where's the fun. If every map in the playlist is a gray remake, then I'm scared that things will get stale QUICK. Like really speedy gonzalez here people. The quickness of the stale-ensuing finna' be gettin QUICK up in this b*tch like fo' realz fo' realz na'msaying? Thanks for that. I was thinking of trying out the maps but I feel like I want to save my Classic virginity for MatchMaking. I've been afraid of that as well, I love how you said "the vibe" wasn't right. Building on my previous post, think about the map Highlands. Covenant Cruisers glassing in the backround, moss-ridden structures, crashed Pelicans. It's a sexy-ass map. Now strip it to the bone, and you're left with a plane-jane ugly Windows 97 map, maybe it's got good sightlines and all that but there's no Halo feel. Sorry ThrowinDemBones I basically used you're post to try and prove my point some more.....I relaly like what you said though. Replacing Nade Launcher instead of a Sword sounds ****in stupid to me, that ripping out the heart of Midship. I also am very much looking forward to Classic BTB. Maybe even Classic Firefight, you know limited lives and such. (how it was meant to be not spamming the map with Fuel Rod and Jetpack >.<) But then again (building on my last post again) Halo: CE had ALL ugly grey maps. Haha. So we will have to wait and see. I'm going to eat some Captain Crunch now, thanks a lot for that image.
