That is what I have read.
Why does nearly everyone vote for it in BTB… If it sucks?
Just an example to show how few of the of Halo 4 players actually log on to the Waypoint forums.
Using Thruster Pack and staying out of vehicles makes the map a challenge.
It’s Valhalla that I quit out of all the time, despite the fact that I’m good for a perfection if I can obtain both snipers that spawn in base in the first 130 seconds.
Ragnarok is just -Yoinking!- boring. It’s all Camo/DMR.

Have you actually played Exile before? And you can’t just definitively say it sucks. I for one think it’s great. One of the most beautiful maps in the Halo series. That grass is just soooooooo green. And it’s great for Dominion.

It sucks because it is always picked.
I think people like it for the tank. That my IMO.

Cool… But why do people hate on Exile? … even though it’s so popular?

So your saying more maps should incorporate a tank …
Heavies… (just saying)
valhalla sucks on halo 4 ( due to crossfire everwhere )
exile… lets just put a mini mt. in the middle 3 op vehicles… and little to no driving space…
I think people ‘hate’ Exile as its chosen so much.
But its the only default map to give you a Scorpion tank, and its got lots of hiding places. I enjoy playing the map, but I had 12 games of BTB yesterday and it only came up 4 times. Oddly enough Vortex was selected more than any other map.
People hate it becuase its unbalanced
Blue team will win on that map every time unless they are either completely incompetent
People hate on Exile because it’s horribly lopsided.
Blue Team has the ability to jump in the Gauss and wipe out anybody on Red Team that is rushing the Banshee. Or, Gauss can even sit back and destroy Red Team’s Banshee as soon as it’s airborne.
In the end it’s always Blue Team with Gauss/Banshee vs Tank, which is lopsided as -Yoink-. The tank has no hope Red is battling just to obtain it, while Gauss/Banshee are swooping in to destroy it. The Gauss is horribly overpowered as is. Kids that you’d think are holding the controller upside down when playing on foot can get a riot in the Gauss Hog.

Closet explanation as to why “it sucks” so far.
Can anyone give me an actual reason?
nb4unballencedgauss
Give me a real reason… I dare ya
Exile itself isnt that bad, but when I play 10 games of BTB, of which 6 games Exile, 3 games Ragerok and 1 game in Meltdown/Vortex/Longbow it gets really boring after a short while.
Luckily you can leave the game at the voting screen before you vote if you see that exile/ragerok is going to win the vote

because the other maps suck harder…
and they all suck because the only thing you can play on them is Big Team Infinity Slayer
Bring back Blood Gulch, Sidewinder and Sandtrap!
Bring back Big Team CTF, Assault and Snipers!

If you’re too stupid to figure out that Exile is lopsided then the joke’s on you bro.
Mad people here breaking it down in crayon for you.

Because there’s a 50% chance they’ll be on the blue team.
I agree, this map has some MAJOR balancing issues.

You really think that would be any better, I’m afraid it wouldn’t. Just like Valhalla was great in the H3, the new mechanics (DMS, Camo Snipers, Power weapons for all etc) completely ruin map movement. A Blood Gulch or a Sandtrap would just be a DMS standoff.
This is why all the new large maps in H4 have so many obstacles all around, so you can escape from the DMS, and that’s why Ragnarok doesn’t quite work, because they re-created it faithfully.
Have these maps with set loadouts where the DMS isn’t included and there is no Camo AA, and they would probably work very nicely.
Why all the hate? I just asked a simple question.
Shows what these forums are all about…
Hate with no real answers!

I hate it, it’s probably the most ridiculously unbalanced maps I’ve seen in a while.
People hate it because:
1: It’s being picked all the time (same with Ragnarok)
2: Balance on the map is unfair, because of the placement of vehicles. One team gets a Gauss Hog, the other doesn’t, but can get to the Scorpion easier. Only vehicle that is fairly placed is the Banshee.
I do like the map however. I simply don’t run for the vehicles at the start of the game. Nope, grab the SAW and head off into the center base. That Scorpion will be dealt with in a few minutes and the Gauss Hog mostly gets destroyed in its first run around the map (thanks to the Scorpion).
But that doesn’t mean the Scorpion should be put somewhere more centered, and the Gauss Hog needs to go (or place a 2nd on the other base and remove the Scorpion)
