Re: G4 reach Preview

In Response To: Re: G4 reach Preview (Schooly D)


: Most of these maps look pretty expansive and/or involved, with a bunch of
: stuff going on. Have smaller, simpler, arena-type maps gone the way of the
: Dodo? I guess we'll have to forge our own?

Jetpacks and sprinting almost makes smaller maps obsolete. Granted, Bungie could completely deny the use of certain loadouts on smaller maps or turn them off all together, but that would defeat the purpose. Sprinting and jetpacks would possibly make a map like Midship a lot less fun, and maps like Lockout a lot less tactical and communication-crucial to victory when compared to how you can just fly up to places to sprint across one area to another without worrying about getting BR'd before you get to cover.

I obviously can't judge Reach's maps, but if Halo 3 is a good indicator, there's a drastic drop in "greatness" and "fun" from my subjective viewpoint when compared to H1 and H2 multiplayer maps. I can just about name every H1 and H2 map off the top of my head (because nearly all of them are fantastic and beloved by everyone), but I really have to struggle to remember all of the H3 maps, which have hardly had the visible praise of the other games. Only a few gems stand out. We could find ourselves in a similar situation for Reach. Hopefully Reach has some maps that shine on their own without having to rely on remakes of H2 maps to be successful. Time will tell, but I would be lying if I said I was looking forward to any of these maps moreso than the H2 remakes.
