A little random but I need some help... As the title suggests i'm looking for maps to run in an upcoming skrim-tourney i'm doing with some buds on Reach. Preferably, I'd like maps that follow the "Arena/Block Pattern-style" or MLG-style 2v2 maps. But yeah, the map name as well as the author's GT would be appreciated.
http://teambeyond.net/forum/topic/4191-gold-pro-reach-filesharedetails-and-customs-list/ Check out the 2 v 2 section in the first post, prob the best 2 v 2 settings in Halo since CE, ran a few tournies with those maps/settings. Forge wise, Downrush and Freeze out is great. The updated Damnation is also a favourite of mine. The opposite of your "MLG" 2 v 2 two base maps, but honestly its just objectively far superior for doubles plays Eurgh. Symm 2 midship style maps dont play well for 2 v 2 anyways. For synapse itself, limited amount of spawns, dreadful LOS's (hated the big glass walls) and too much cover at top mid.
When @aPK , myself, and whoever we got played 2's the maps we played the most were Downrush, Evident, and Archon. We ran a ton of maps though because there were zillions of great competitive 2v2 and 1v1 maps in Reach. We mostly ran just straight mlg settings or forge 1v1 settings which had 150% DR custom versus the 200% normally used in mlg.
So iv'e decided to host 2 different tourneys... One being 4v4 Gold Pro in celebration of the future iteration of GP in H5 AND a standard 2v2 MLG slayer bracket match. The MLG one is focusing on the best room-based asym maps I could find, which I need some help with as I feel like there are more out there. As of now I have: Altar Angst The Knowing Rebirth Caspian Any recommendations? Also, @Doju ZB Territories is nowhere to be found... Any other GT I could find it on?
343i makes better maps then that garbage of a map it used to change like every other week and went through like 20 different versions! But for 2v2 I liked the map packs like condemned and anchor 9 also some android isn't so bad either
Acacia by me. Definitely the best 2v2 in Reach hands down. Nothing could ever touch it to this very day. It had shielded Windows you could sit in without getting shot, 2 grenade launchers, Rockets that spawned within jumping distance of camo. I mean that is the most competitive set up ever made. I am the best.
Lol no, but the map isn't as bad as I made it sound haha. It was actually voted one of the better maps of that tourney. But no it's definitely not one of the best 2v2 maps of any halo.
I would look at my fileshare see if there is something you like and Solo xii(always forget what number it is in roman numerals.) I don't think apk has Downrush on his fileshare.
Maybe SitriStahl BTW, you should swap the 2 around (if you need to both MLG and GP, imo gp trumps in both 4s and 2s). Play MLG as 4 v 4, and GP as 2 v 2. MLG settings are better in its 4v4 variation than dubs, and GP plays better as a 2 v 2 gametype than 4s. Id also swap your criteria too, your room based maps will be better in 2s than 4s (especially Angst which will struggle ith 8 people). Room based maps with long kill times have notoriously not played well (a good reason why Penance struggled in MLG but worked much better in GP) If youre going for room based, Oversoul bomb is prob the best map in that criteria for 4s
I was thinking of using the Throwdown gametype for the 2v2 tourney, but i'll definitely consider changing it to GP now that you mention it. Also I agree to the player count swap as well now that I'm thinking about it. But, I'll still be using the aysm maps rather than traditional GP maps for the doubles line up (might include Oversoul and or Downrush). And now that the 4v4 tourney has been swapped for MLG, I'll just use MLG maps with their respective gametypes. Oh and quick question, would you recommend GP King or GP Ball for the 2v2 line up? Or just keep it strictly slayer?
Lol no man dont use oversoul for doubles. Ive posted in that beyond thread the optimum 2 v 2 line up (all are aysms btw), those maps have been built with the 4sk in mind, and been used in tournaments ran by myself. That also means slayer only (on obj for 2 v 2)
Alright, no obj or Oversoul for dubs. I think everything is ready for practice, thanks for the suggestions!
