Let me start by stating that this post is based entirely off my own opinion, I know I don’t speak for everyone.
343, the maps you design are awful, for several reasons:
- Cluttered. The amount of visual pollution is immense and distracting. Why are the floors of Truth and Regret covered in grooves and bumps? I can’t see weapons on the ground because so much of the ground is cluttered with unnecessary patterns and lights.- I can’t see. The lighting is darker than midnight under a rock on Truth and Eden. Combined the bloom and blur on my screen, I can just barely figure our how to navigate the area. This also makes it hard to see weapons, because most weapons are black and blend in with the darkness.- The colors are too vibrant, especially on Truth. Colors on Halo maps should be more subtle, I don’t need to walk into a bright glaring red room to know this is the red base. Eden is nothing but a shade of blue, making it very hard to spot blue team on that map.Please, for goodness sake 343, take a look at previous Halo maps for inspiration on the art. H2A’s maps don’t have these problems, why can’t you emulate that sort of visual design?
