I made a post about this yesterday but after really sinking in and getting some solid time in the majestic playlists both FFA & Team I can’t say enough how great it is.
I usually try to avoid praising posts at all cost but for the first time I’m agreeing with 343’s direction in the game and want to vocalize their success on this one. The maps themselves are great, particularly Skyline. There more close quarters, Two levels and feel like Halo’s classic maps I’ve grown use to.
But not only that 343 finally recognized:
-
Map Static weapons (why hasn’t this been updated in every playlist?)
-
A true Rumble Pit, finally!
-
Personal Ordinance, for the first time, I actually enjoy. Why? because it’s not filled with over the top power weapons i.e. Binary, Incinerator, Rockets etc. Making it so the Saw, or Sticky Detonator etc is a great way to use the mechanic
-
Good variety of Infinity & more classic Pro versions - No personal ordinance, instant respawn or radar? Just perfect
That is the main points I’ve noticed. I played in just Majestic FFA & Team for a good time and never once was frustrated with the game (except maybe some stupid deaths I gave up).
Keep going back to Halo’s roots 343, we might see a population increase at some point even.
The big problem with the new map pack is one, only swat apears on skyline for some reason, and two the only ordanace choices I ever get is the SAW, speed boost, and grenades.

The thing is, Pro is supposed to have radar. It was a mistake that it doesn’t, and they’re going to fix it pretty soon. I think it makes it better too since without radar, it’s a total melee fest. Everything else about it is great, though!
Forgot to mention radar on FFA is something that is missing, slipped my mind. But I did see that. Awesome playlist.
