Community Call-Outs : Complex

Games Other Halo
1

So with Halo 4 just coming out, I thought that we might as well take advantage of playing early by making some easy callouts. Often in Matchmaking, I’ll see someone try to call out where they were, but they don’t know how to explain it. I saw someone mention in a thread that we could possibly make callouts on the forums that we could use in Matchmaking and start a trend.

The only thing is, we need to keep these callouts as noob friendly as possible. There’s no point in having callouts if people don’t know where it is.

So we can start with Complex. Me and my friends have a few, but they aren’t perfect. So I’ll just use them as examples.

Big Building: The big building that seems to be in the middle, you know, the big one where you can get on the roof.

Small Building: The building that looks just like the first except smaller.

Sword Building: I assume sword spawns in there, because why else would my friends call it that. It’s the gigantic building thats nearly in between the Big and Small buildings.

Sniper Building: We call this Sniper building because there always seems to be a sniper there. It’s across that big open field from the big building.

Ghost Building: The building right in between Sniper building and Sword Building.

And then there’s that one last building which we couldn’t come up with a name for. It’s on the opposite side of the map than the sniper building.

These callouts aren’t perfect. They’re just what I use. If you guys can come up with some better ones, please share them.

Also, “blue spawn” isn’t a proper callout in my book. Alot of people will play on a map multiple times, but never know which team spawns where. If alot of people disagree with what I just said, then we can use it. Like I said, this is a community callout list.

If the communtity ever decides on the perfect callout list, then I will edit this post to show the community accepted callouts.

I call the unknown building foxtrot. I’m pretty sure that’s where hill F is.

The guide book has all the call outs but not everyone that plays has it. Wish they could of kept the locations above the radar like reach, but I guess will have to do it like prior halos. As for callouts it’s hard to make them as it was in halo 3 since weapons really do not spawn on map.

The fact that there aren’t weapon spawns is why we need this community to make callouts. A birds eye view of each map would be helpful, but I couldn’t find any online.

It’s odd you are right there is no birds eye view online, the only ones that exist for all the maps is in the guide book. Hopefully soon they will be up online because when the DLC maps start arriving it would be nice to have a birds eye view.

I like the callouts that you have come up with OP. But they seem too long in order for a quick precise call out as every second matters in some Halo matches. We need to find a way to make them short and quick for easy calls. But as I said at the beginning, I like the callouts that you have, just think that they are a little long.

I hate to be a Negative Nancy here, but I’ve found that the only callouts I’ve been using on Complex are “Bridge”, “Building”, and “Clusterf*** Field”.

When you spawn in Clusterf*** Field, callouts don’t matter because you’re dead before you can get anywhere else anyway.

I know it sounds like I’m whining, but the bigger problem is that it’s actually true for some gametypes. Flood and Regicide seem to be okay though, so callouts for the whole map are useful. Sadly, I like CTF…

I think the callouts you’re using are pretty good, but as someone else mentioned, they need to be nice and short for competitive play. Maybe just drop “Building” from each one, so you’d have “Ghost”, “Sniper”, “Sword”, etc. Use numbers as floor designators (ex. Sword 1/Sword 2).
