This gametype has been all over DLC FFA. It rears its ugly head whenever I get a decent map. Almost every Blackout game in FFA is Rockets. Cold Storage isn't the place for rockets. Its the map made for amazing slayer and oddball gameplay. Juggernaut is a extremely fun game for FFA. Yet I've never played it in DLC FFA yet. Instead we get maps that aren't that made for free for all. Like default Standoff. Standoff? Really? Gameplay is way to slow on this map, just take it out of FFA completely. There are several other maps out there that provide amazing free for all gameplay. Like Epitaph, Snowbound, Guardian, Cold Storage, Blackout or Ghost Town. Why not give us more actual DLC maps? It takes ages just to get a Legendary map. I bought the Legendary map pack, I'd like to play the Legendary map pack! So much potential put to waste with this playlist. I want good gametypes, good maps. This is not what I've come to expect from Bungie. Less Braaains and Rockets, more Oddball, Juggernaut, KotH and Slayer. Less Anvil, Standoff and Rats Nest. More Epitaph, Cold Storage and Ghost Town.
I've only played Juggernaut 2 or 3 times in Matchmaking the entire time I've had Halo 3. It angers me that Bungie offers so many gametypes but limits us to only a few. Their choices in Foundry maps sicken me as well. I mean, Anvil is no better than the default, and I've played Rockets on that map way too many times.
I could use some legendary maps to get that oddball achievement... The legendary maps should appear more often, and remove standoff and rockets. That's about all that I feel is wrong. Maybe it's just me, but most maps are fast paced enough with 8 players, even standoff. I just don't like standoff in this playlist because it's meant for team games and just doesn't play well in FFA.
Its just generally bad, maybe they need to weight the gametypes with the maps so you if you should get Cold Storage theres a 20% chance of slayer and 20% chance of oddball along with the other assorted gametypes, including juggernaut of course. Standoff is a horrible map, its just far too open in FFA and when you spawn with AR's is just plain agonising to play on. I think Bungie just needs something to help them with their playlists like representatives from sites or something to choose what should be taken out and what shouldn't, so far i believe Shiska hasn't done anything helpful yet since his rehiring except Phantom Pistols on Waterworks....
