Got a chance to play this in my lobby with the creator himself, and I have to say this is one of my favorite minigames on Halo 5. Its 5 star rating lends itself to this map having everything a mingame should strive for. Eretrian Naval Encounter is simple, addictive, and balanced. The boats play smoothly and never hit any sort of annoying hiccups. This is an exceptional concept for a map and is an absolute blast with friends! 10/10 IGN lol
Blown away by how well the boats work. They rock back and forth based on weight distribution, they have splash-up and ripples, the headlights refract off the water, they have just the right balance of inertia and control- Crazy when they need to be, yet in testing we were unable to make them flip over completely, which is good, because that would undermine the turret play.
