So I was thinking about why multiplayer maps on warzone feel the same. I came to the conclusion that each side of the map is exactly the same for the red team and the blue team. For example on March on stormbrake there is a huge base then there is a second base then some snow then a tunnel and it is exactly the same on the opposite side of the map to. Unlike the other halos where there where some differences on each side.
Good news to new halo 5 players because all you really have to do is look at one side of a map since the other side is exactly the same.
so hopefully 343i will fix that…someday
The bases is arc and dark star are the exact same as well
a lot of the aspects of maps are simply recycled and put into “new maps”
same problem for all the “remixes” in arena
Why is that a problem? If they were too different there would be complaints about one team having an advantage.

But to completely and blatantly re-use bases from one map to another is completely lazy
That isnt really a problem. That just makes the Maps really… easy and not complex. Zero Aesthetic. But… Playable

2 out of the five maps are symmetrical. War zone has a few problems map design is one of them, but the symmetry of storm break and noctus is not the issue

You wouldn’t use Guardian (halo 3) for CTF. You wouldn’t use Geonosis (Star Wars Battlefront 2) for a basic pvp deathmatch. Different maps are better for different styles of play. WZ map balance is based off of a center base, and two outlying bases, thus they will occasionally reuse major map elements to maintain the balance. You can only do so much with a WZ map
So most of you are saying that WZ should basically stay the same right? If you could change anything though (along as it has to do you with actually making the map) what would you guys change?

I’d probably tweak it a bit so that people focus more on killing bosses than each other.

There was Warzone in other Halos? Kidding, but I thought the maps being symmetrical was common knowledge.
The maps are probably made that way so each side has the same advantages and disadvantages and the flaws could be easier to spot. I doubt they’re going to change that design method.

What? That doesn’t have to be true. 343i can move a lot of stuff a round to make the two different spawns balanced. Asymmetrical maps have existed forever.

And can you imagine the kind of stink and salt that would emanate just from those posts alone? Asymmetry is my favorite, but I get why 343 trys to stick to symmetrical maps.
Also it wouldnt hurt to give us a 3rd team to be a part of or maybe give us an actual challange boss fight at the begining of the match
