Re: Please balance the maps

In Response To: Re: Please balance the maps (Spree)

: guess you've never gone on xbc to play the endless amounts of all vehicle BG
: games. And skill is not as subjective as you make it seem. There is a lot
: more skill required and teamwork needed to make a 4v4 work then there is
: to have a 16 or 32 player cluster with vehicles and all sorts of mess
: going on. With that many players there are always gonna be tons of people
: at your base so base defense will not be that important. You don't have to
: really time and coordinate your movements because theres people
: everywhere. It's more about just moving to one spot together and
: overwhelming with numbers.
4v4 requires you to use your lives more
: efficiently in order to cap.

That statement is only true if it's 16v4. If it's 16v16, then you can't overwhelm the other team with superior numbers, because the numbers are even, as they are in a 4v4 match.

Skill is as much a factor in large maps as it is in small maps. Try crossing the map in Blood Gulch when the other team has skilled snipers and rocketeers on middle defense. That alone requires skill. It takes a coordinated assault team to make it through the gauntlet of defenses into the enemy base, and then get out alive.

Saying there's no skill involved in large maps really sells the more intense mass battle strategic combat situations you can find in Halo online short, and they are in my opinion some of the best fights out there.
