Disappointed. | |

In Response To: Crimson Map Pack Trailer (XXLChicken) Cluttered. Dull. Muddy. Monochrome. Visually monotonous. Do artists design MP maps nowadays? Halo 4 has the most limited, unimpressive selection of maps in Halo history. The starting lineup has fewer maps than any prior Halo game, and I'm already getting tired of playing on many of them. They have generally poor flow. They're too similar aesthetically. Now Halo is starting to fall victim to the "Real Is Brown" trope. These new maps are about as colorful as Gears of War. This arguably started in Reach, but even it had vastly more color: Sword Base was blue, Zealot was purple (as was the eponymous structure on Spire), etc. Not only are the Crimson maps lacking in their color palette, they look so cluttered, they look too much like the on-disc maps (and each other), and there are no small arena-style maps, which are much-needed right now for Team Slayer. Honestly, I haven't felt much compulsion to hop into Halo 4 matchmaking like I did with Bungie's games, and I'm really feeling the urge to go back to Reach. Halo 4's MP is just so uninspiring I'd rather go deal with armor lock and Countdown again. If the next two batches of maps don't impress, I'll probably just give up on XBL altogether and just stick to playing single-player games from now on.
