I haven’t had a chance to play
I played it yesterday and got hammered lol, but I don’t know it yet, I think it has promise, I quite like it. Edit = It’s drained variant of Fathom, once I noticed that I started to get the hang of it a little better.
played once and got destroyed by the fuel rod, i honestly didn’t like it very much in team slayer.
I would try it out in a custom game, lots of dead ends to get trapped in if you dont know where you are going
People have slagged it off as a “dusty fathom”, but I actually really like it. Not had a chance to play urban though, looking forward to that
Just another map. It will take a while to learn t least for me. Too many areas look alike at first glance.
One if the best team slayer maps in the game
It’s fun! But most of the action takes place somewhere around the classic BR spawn, so for the rest of the map you’re nearly never involved in any combat.
Definitely different than Fathom though.
I like it. I feel like there’s more verticality to it (not quite sure that’s a word, but autocorrect accepted it, so whatever) so you can earn more Ground Pound kills.
I played on it a few times and really liked it.
Better than Overgrowth, which isn’t saying much, but not one of the better maps.
I really don’t mind the variants of current maps, I’m ok with it. I would really like to see Uncaged return, though.
It’s very fun in Slayer if your team knows how to counter Fuel Rods or good at sniping in very close quarters.
I’ve also played it on Strongholds but sadly a teammate quit on us so I couldn’t get the full experience. SPNKR, overshield, and camo all spawn in Strongholds and I found the SPNKR to be much better than the fuel rod on the map in general. Not as chaotic and less easy kills for the enemy.
Halo 2 BR is on both and godly!
In the end, it all comes down to if you have equal teams and good coordination. If you play it right, it can be one of the best maps in the game otherwise you might as well be playing on Regret during a Slayer match (my worst experience in Halo 5.)
I only played it once. I enjoy the layout and look. Supports a close quarter combat style, a lot of halways and confined spaces, but also has plenty of vertical advantages… Fun for grnade bounces.
The fuel rod cannon is the beast of this map, not sure how I feel about that. If you have it, you love it, even with bad aim you will do just fine, however, turning corners and getting blasted by green plasma every two seconds can get frustrating on the flip side.
I think overall it is good for a remix. The fuel rod cannon plays like the rockets did on ivory tower in h2, you want to race for it , but if the other team scores it, you better let your team know where he is before your screen is full of red Xs.
I checked it out in forge and it is alright, but i think I preferred fathom, but I am not much of a small map guy unless it is swords/shotties only. Also, i found a Grunt statue/doll on top of the building… looks abnormally happy…
