Stupid -Yoinking!- concept stages like meltdown would better serve as dlc or better yet demos.The only time its likely to come up is if a team has chosen it so fellow randoms my advice is to be very wary of that pinball machine like ridiculous map.
Poor you.
Thanks for your wonderful addition to my thread.
Meltdown isn’t that bad on Dominion. Anything is better then going to Exile for the 25th time
> Meltdown isn’t that bad on Dominion. Anything is better then going to Exile for the 25th time
Yes Exile does get a bit much especialy that annoying gauss.Dominion is objective based making it most unappealing to a random like yours truly.
Aww, would you prefer DMRnarok or Gaussile? People don’t know good maps when they see them.

Yes and yes,meltdown is a bizzare crazymaze of a map that only ever comes up if a team votes for it.The other 4 BTB maps are all good including the neglected vortex.
I’ve said before and ill say it again. The maps in this game are a joke. Any veteran Halo player realizes this. There is a reason Exile, Ragnorak, and Haven are the only maps voted for.

Then you don’t know good maps from the bad. Meltdown is well balanced, and has lots of nooks, crannies, caves, tunnels and roads. There’s room for long range, mid range and close range engagements.
You know as well as I do that people only vote Ragnarok because it’s easy for them to get kills with their cheapo DMR.
I actually love Meltdown for Dominion, don’t like BTI on any of the maps in Halo 4 though.
Stop calling BTI BTB people, real BTB was much better IMO.

Some people like ragnarok for its vehicle combat,Im one of them.Meltdowns crazymaze is poorly suited to vehicles and the Mantis is nullified by the ridiculous placement of incinerator cannons.
^What’s funny is that Meltdown was designed to support vehicles.

I didn’t know there was vehicle combat on Ragnarok…
Oh wait, there is, but it’s so open that Plasma Pistols, Plasma Grenades and DMRs completely annihilate any vehicles.
And this ‘crazy maze’ that you refer to is actually a figure 8.
All BTI maps are pretty open that Plasma Pistols, Plasma Grenades and DMRs can completely annihilate any vehicles, not just Ragnarok.

I absolutely know that, but Ragnarok is probably the worst case of it.

That figure 8 is riddled with tunnels and is on two different levels with pinball styled bumpers all over the place.How is that not obvious?.
> ^What’s funny is that Meltdown was designed to support vehicles.
That is pretty funny as I consider it the worst BTB map for vehicles by a long shot and Im a bad ghost -Yoink!-.
> All BTI maps are pretty open that Plasma Pistols, Plasma Grenades and DMRs can completely annihilate any vehicles, not just Ragnarok.
Thats a fact and its also a fact that all vehicles are hopeless agaist a team attack but I still do ok with them in general except the banshee on rag.Getting in that thing at the start of a match is suicide lol.
I agree with the OP. Meltdown is the worst map in Halo 4. It has no strategic value to it whatsoever. It’s a massive circle on top of a circle with a series extremely random tunnels, ramps, bridges, and man cannons connecting everything.
At least you got to play on it. I’d play that map ANYDAY over Exile and Ragnarok.
