I have to say, I really like it. I agree with the majority that torque isn’t the best map, but I played a CTF Game on Stasis earlier and it was extremely fun. The flow of the map seems to be spot on (at least in this game it was), the aesthetics are pleasing, there are long sight lines as well as choke points for CQC. I think it’s a great addition to the rotation despite being a remix. Would I prefer a brand new map with updates? Yes, of course. But taking what we’ve been given, Stasis is a pretty good map.
I don’t mind map remixes, but in this case it kind of took the place, of a new map, or re-mastered map from Halo Reach that we could have seen, but instead we got Stasis

Why make a new map and actually playtest it, when we can just move a couple of pillars and slightly change the flow of the map to make a “new map”? /sarcasm.

Let’s not forget they added some snow to give it the illusion it was a redesign

Yes, I agree. Like I said, I would’ve preferred a new map or a revival of an old map (I wanted Spire from Reach for BTB), but given what we have, Stasis is a solid addition to the rotation. I feel it plays far better than Torque does.
One thing to keep in mind though, is that all of these updates are free. Map packs and content updates which actually add new weapons, weapon skins, player aesthetics, etc. cost money in pretty much every other game. So in that sense, these remixes are justified because we aren’t paying anything for them (and we have gotten a couple brand new maps for free).
That being said, if they were charging us for these updates, that would be atrocious. But they aren’t, so I feel anger over the remixes is kind of unjustified.
