Someone clearly didn't know what mod stood for. I agree Valhalla without man cannons would be a great variant they could even use it on team snipers, or even on the "Heavy" variants.
Same. I remember playing Vallhalla for the first time at my friends house. I had no idea what halo 3 (or any of the past halo games) were about. I loved this map, it was the second map I had ever seen in halo 3. The first on was Narrows. I love Valhalla and it is probably my 3rd favorate H3 map. The first is Avalanche and 2nd is Rats Nest. You cannot turn Valhalla into those maps. It is a beautiful, funand different map. If you want those maps than spam Bungie. I would suggest you start a group on Bungie.net like Lower the Guns.
Well the usual Halo slang for mod is cheating. But see you didn't give any comments on what I said about it being vital transportation on the map. I feel this is just stupid, and it would leave an empty gray thing to replace it. The map is extremely large too, so without the man cannons games would be delayed.
I made a thread on Bnet to promote the idea of adding more variants of the existing maps to matchmaking. This means more variety for matchmaking. This new thread does not involve the Valhalla without man cannons variant, so even if you do not agree with that idea, you may be interested in the ideas in the new thread.
Well, they did slightly make what you were thinking of with Valhalla heavy (teleporters), but that is even worse than the original. Valhalla is one of my least favorite maps because as soon as the other team get control of the high ground, you are screwed. Also, if you spawn in the base that has the big ocean behind it, you have a major disadvantage, because the hill is more like a mountain, making it much harder to get up to the top, while on the other side, it is easy to nade and shoot while going up it. EDIT: I couldn't help but notice this. Sorry to tell you this, but without the lifts, there would be LITERALLY two ways to get to the top level
Valhalla Heavy is terrible in my opinion. I just don't like the idea of five people flying from a man cannon; it just seems ridiculous when each team has vehicles such as warthogs to drive around in.
I'm not so sure warthogs are as anoying as a thousand vehicles and tanks on each side. I prefer smaller scale fighting but thats why i usually just play team slayer problem solved As for more varients it does indeed sound do able the only thing about comparing it to Epilouge, Boundless, and Sand Tarp is that those maps were modded (is indeed the correct term) to fix the gameplay problems of the past.
If they made a variant of Valhalla without man cannons, I really don't think I'd like it, but who knows.
vahalla without man annons your crazy but if you actually want it. take three trio mines on instant respawn place the on top of each other. and keep deploying them in one plae until they blow up the man cannons are gone if you want to save them then ou make a pile of about 50 weapons place a radio on it if it disapears in blue sparks place 50 other movvable items and set the run time minimum to the same as the maximum in a desserted part of the map. Put a crate held down by recivr nodes. on top of the man cannons. then delete the weapons. the man cannons will come back on but they will be unusabl. and you don't get flamed for modded content minus overloading lag plus all those weapons you used you get back and you don't have to worry about people messing with your weapon overload thing and causing them to come on line again. A time consuming task but well worth it.
Mancannons are more fair than teleporters because if your shooting somebody, they can just run through the teleporter, crouch behind it and wait for you, then assasinate ftw. mancannons allow you to travel the same distance quickly while still being a fair target.
I wouldn't start a petition on Bungie.net. You'll get banned. Like me. Anyway, I never thought it mattered. I like them. I sometimes wish Standoff had mancannons.
