Welcome to the Halo 5 Map Review Thread!
In this post I would like to ask you to give a small review for each map you played in the Halo 5 Beta. Explain why you like or dislike the map and give some ideas to improve the maps. Map reviews also include the power weapons on the maps. At the end of the explanation it would be nice to see a final verdict expressed in a number, for example 8/10.
Current maps (will be updated if new ones are added):
Empire: (7.5/10)
I like the map a lot, it has tight combat, a good color scheme and a good mapflow. Not completely sure about the sniper rifle placements but overall a good map (7.5/10)
Truth: (8/10)
I really enjoy playing on this map, it is a good remake of midship allthough some objects are a bit too bright/shiny and I would like to see the shotgun return with covenant weapons. Also the hole on top mid needs to go since you clamber in it. (8/10)
Eden: (6/10)
First of all I’m not a big fan of the remix maps idea in general, it adds less variety to the maps and makes them less unique. Eden has some very dark cornors (too dark) and the mapdesign overall feels like a less good version of Empire. The colorscheme is also too blue making it harder to spot blue spartans. The Sniper Rifle as a power weapon also doesn’t really fit the map. (6/10)
Regret: (6.5/10)
I think it’s a better remix variant than Eden but still not as good as the original variant (Truth). The map is too bright and it can be very confusing to navigate the map. The Hydra also doesn’t fit the map, the map is way too close quarters for a launcher weapon like the Hydra (not enough opportunities to lock on).
