I didnt say its NEVER good, I just said that theres gameplay styles beyond it. The only time i ever really use it is when the map is really small... which was all of my old maps. Ive taken a general liking to large maps. The larger the better actually. With vehicles. and rocket launchers. and shotguns. and other stuff.
You are so right, the weapons make the map. People keep littering BRs all over the map. Changing the weapon layout on Last resort may not change the appearance of the map in the pictures but it definitely creates a completely different game. Im not going to congratulate you for being a forge hero but I will say thanks for knowing what you are doing.
I take it the guass hog is a replacement for the wraith. Pretty good call. I never played Halo 2 Zanzibar. I never played Halo 2, for that matter. But I'm gonna DL and see whether it's actually any better than the current set-up (for Last Resort). I stand on neutral ground, so nostalgia aside i'll be able to tell you which (IMO) is better. Remind me to edit this.
Heck yearrr you are my hero for the smg start. I was a big fan of halo 2 and zanzibar so I was kind of upset when I first played last resort. It still doesn't give me a fun vibe when playing it. I will download and check the map when I get my xbox and hopefully it'll be more fun than the original lay-out.
The Gauss Hog brings back good memories of me taking the hog and camping in the back corner, and then sniping everyone that got close. I think I got...18 kills in a row? Then someone got smart and grabbed the rockets.
Not much in awesome forging like you said, but thats not the point. This map is exactly like Zanzibar (save a few things) and it is pretty awesome. Good job.
