I almost never played anything other than Social Big Team. What can I say......I liked warthogs......and elephants. *readies flamesuit* But man did I hate Snowbound when I played it in rumble put and junk, I don't even remember half those maps anymore..... Assembly, Cold Storage, Citadel, and Longshore...Worst maps.
The Pit. There, I said it. I could never play a legit game of snipers without some people buddy jumping into the towers.
Snowbound Cold Storage I know in my head that Assembly was a bad map, but man, I liked it so much. MM Foundry and MM Sandbox Those are about it.
Agreed. The bad thing is that me and my team were really good at it, we consistently won, just hated having to do so... I dunno about worst, but definitely a huge disappointment considering how awesome Chillout was. That design really didn't carry over well. MM Foundry was broken as hell but I still had plenty of fun on it, and Sandbox was dull but an essentially solid design, much smoother gameplay than Foundry even with the flaws. As for mine, I'd have to add Epitaph and Santrap on to Snowbound. Had no love for any of those maps.
I know that you mainly play MLG, but as a person who played BTB almost exclusively, Sandtrap is one of the best BTB maps ever.
I was about to write just that, and who else here misses heavy gametypes? Dont worry, I still have my flamesuit on.
I still disagree. I don't dislike BTB, in fact I think Valhalla is one of the best Halo maps of all time. I also really enjoy Last Resort and Avalanche, both great maps. I hate BTB in Reach but that's because the vast majority of playlist maps suck, and even when something good comes up people always just spam votes for Hemm which makes me cry. I really liked BTB in Halo 3. I just hated the fact that vehicle combat was dominant yet stale on Sandtrap, and on foot was the most dull experience in the whole of Halo 3.
Agreed, and it didn't help that the map was almost exclusively one color. There was literally nothing interesting about the map...not even the elephants, since they could only drive in a circle and had a weak ass turret.
Well, here's an interesting note on that; the turret on the elephants actualll fire just a little bit faster than the warthog turret. CTF on sandtrap, in my opinion, was brilliant. The elphants served as mobile bases, which was both good and bad. It allowed the elephant drivers to actually be important, but you could just ram them both together and make flag caps too easy. If they were beter armed, a litlle faster, and had some room to manuever, I think it would have been much better. Now, back to topic. I think that MM sandbox was the worst.
The idiocy of that was placing static respawn zones instead of putting them in the elephants. Driving the elephant anywhere meant getting closer to the enemy respawn zone which would allow enemies to spawn on your flag. If they managed to steal the elephant which was arguably easier than stealing the flag the game was over almost instantly. Even with that in mind I thought sandtrap was a good map for btb and definitely better than most of the maps in the current Reach BTB playlist, even if that is a very low bar.
I really wonder how sandtrap would work in Reach BTB, you know, with DMR's and underpowered hogs, and no choppers.
Doesn't actually look like it was ever posted on FH outside of the old Pub, but it was a map by Kapura that got in to the Bungie vs the World playlist back in Halo 3. It was truly awful and, for no apparent reason, came up more than any other map in the playlist. I still remember the backlash, good times.
