default Cold Storage has the worst(I mean that literally) spawns I have expereinced. Every time I've played I've started/spawned just out of assassination distance. COLD STORAGE IS A MAP MADE FOR AR SPAM. BUNGIE ****ED UP THE FORGING ON IT, the map itself is cool, but the weapons, equipment and spawn placement are all truely awful
Well it is a free map, so I wasn't going to expect anything too great out of it. I really don't want Bungie to make new maps, until they remake the great ones from Halo 2 and Halo... Although I really don't care about it not having any new items, well because I only forge on Foundry.
Well even if it's free that shouldn't matter should it, after all, all the maps on forgehub are free, and we expect them to be good don't we? I don't think the price should determine the quality of the map.
I tinkered around on it before work this morning, the Forge palette is bland I agree but it seems to be a decent map though rather small. I'll have to play a few matches on it to see how it plays tonight. Otherwise I think it would only really be good for H2H (size wise)
like I said, expect spawn killing and AR spam. The aesthetics of the map itself are great, but Bungie got lazy when they did the weapon placement and spawns. Sniper and camo right next to each other. Spawning within range of an enemy.
I think it's the best DLC map so far, and maybe even the best altogether. I personally feel that this time around the map is great, where before in Halo: CE, i disliked the map. It's a work of art, and i'm glad i didn't have to pay for it.
And weapon and equipment placement are just fine. Spawn placement isn't as good. It's still an awesome map. Even though it has no forging capabilities, did you really expect to be able to forge in a map nearly twice as small as Epitaph?
Well, I like the map, always have since the first, but it just isn't meant for 8 people. 4 is good though.
it is free an wile laking most of the awesome forge items that most maps have at lease they gave us walls. (in short) I like it
but absoluetly no boxes or anything. No crates, no wire spools, no dumpster, no moveable objects. Face it, Bungie were quite lazy with the final stages of this map.
The sniper isn't very useful in this map because it's mostly hallways with small rooms. The two bigger rooms are only times you would need it. Personally, the shotgun and overshield being right next to each other is the one that I hate. That stuff is too big for the map. Did you see Epitaph, Guardian, or any other smaller map have all those forge items?
i did like the map. its a great addition for smaller games with like... 4 people. it looks awesome [probably top 3 visually] while mixing up the flavor a little bit. I played several rounds on it in different gametypes and i have to say the only one i didnt like was Oddball. it was just a cluster****. some of the weapon spawns need to be worked with though. sniper + camo right next to each other, and then shotgun and overshield right next to each other. even i think thats a little much. i didnt have a problem with the spawning. so. what i am going to propose to myself...? Im going to modify weapons/placement of powerups. then ill playtest until i got the perfect balance for my party. then im going to enjoy the free map i just got. since thats what forge was originally designed for.
