The weakest thing in Multiplayer in my personal opinion is that they are now boring after repetitive play, i really wish they could bring old maps ASAP with just the halo infinite skin on them ,this will be extremely easy cause they are already battle tested in the legacy games.
I’m all for new maps. Who wouldn’t be.
The more maps we have the more likely there will be enough that work well with modes such as SWAT, Infection, etc.
But happy not to go down the rabbit path of legacy maps just yet. They just end up disappointing people because they “don’t play like they used to”. The original probably served you up an epic game 1 in 100 times… but nostalgia means that you now expect the new version to play this way EVERY time.
They need new maps that offer more gameplay variety than what they have here. Most of the Arena maps are either three lane COD style maps or are not very far off from that. The BTB maps all suck and don’t play anything like classic BTB from Halo 1/2/3/Reach.
I mean, I think that’s pretty presumptuous. I don’t expect anything, and I’m fully capable of making a new opinion based on how well a legacy maps works in the new game. I’d really like to see maps like Valhalla, Zanzibar, etc. come back and make this game feel like it’s still got some classic Halo life to it. Right now, the maps are all pretty dull and boring, not to mention minimal.
Less presumption… more bitter experience.
With each new iteration of game play mechanics comes a clash against nostalgia.
I’m delighted that you are able to make new opinions. Many aren’t.
But besides that… I’m happy for 343 to give their new game a chance to breathe with it’s own maps. We’ll have Forge soon enough… and the remakes will come thick and fast.
Can’t wait to grab some shotguns and run around Beaver Creek again.
That’s not a map problem, it’s a population problem.
12v12 is too much.
So much grenade spam, so much staggered respawns, so much player density that vehicles get mobbed.
Driving a Hog into the frontlines in BTB is like charging a car into a market in India, except everyone starts shooting at you and trying to flip you over.
No, the maps in BTB suck. They’re too small, with no open space for vehicle combat, and way too much cover everywhere.
BTB plays like team peek-a-boo on the current maps.
Last Resort. I just want to play on Last Resort again
You say that, but plenty of H3 and Reach BTB maps have cover as well, and are generally tight and ill-fitted for vehicles.
Take Breakpoint for example. It’s a BTB Heavies map, but it’s actually extremely tight to move vehicles around on, considering the two sides are separated by a single bridge, a single tunnel and a huge mountain.
Also, consider Last Resort/Zanzibar. It’s a BTB map but no one really fields vehicles on there because of the serious LoS break using the Wheel in the middle, as well as plenty of buildings to take cover in. Also, it feature sharp turns which is horrid for drive bys.
We do need another Gulch-like map and also another version of Snowbound, but our current maps aren’t all that bad.
Also, heck, a map doesn’t even need to be large to run Heavies.
Look at Reach’s Asphalt. It’s by far the most dogwater map for heavies ever, but you could still play heavies on it somehow.
I agree with you 100% that the worst trash tier BTB map from Halo 3 is just as bad as the current trash maps in Halo Infinite’s BTB.
Imo largeness of the map doesn’t directly affect BTB. It affects BTB heavies.
Infinite’s just dull af cos we are drip-fed vehicles and that’s unfun and unexciting.
Imagine Deadlock with actual Tank and Wraith spawns in the natural. Sieging from both sides while the little guys run in the trenches in between. Actual fun stuff.
All of the above?
The biggest complaint I have with Infinite’s maps right now is they they all feel bland and all play the exact same 3 lane approach.
More 4v4 maps for sure. I can deal with the arena/symmetrical/esports style maps ok, and they have their place, but it would be nice to see some maps that feel more organic and are just interesting to play on. After a few weeks, the 6 maps we have now are a bit played out for me.
At least the rotations are better and does not completely suffer from Halo 5, where I have played the same map 8 times in a row.
I like the idea of adding the legacy maps back in. Still to this day I think Halo 3 has some of the best maps in any MP game. They all had a ton of character and support most if not all game modes instead of being tailor made to a specific mode. The only issue with putting those maps into Infinite is that they would need to be modified for Infinite’s movement and weapon damage ranges, which might break them too much.
Classic maps would be great; ex: lockout, midship, guardian, the pit, and even haven from h4 wasn’t awful.
That is true, when Forge comes out we’ll probably get lots of community-made legacy maps very fast. Assuming Forge actually works, and 343 is willing to put the maps into matchmaking.
But to the point, while I understand the impression that nostalgia seems to prevent people from forming new opinions, I don’t think that’s actually the case. I think a lot of people just genuinely like those old maps and would be very happy to see them no matter how differently they play.
Don’t ge me wrong. I have a long list of maps I want to play on. Beaver Creek (with shotguns) for a start!
But previous attempts at remakes have just fuelled flame wars about the changes in the sandbox. Things are toxic enough as it is… and I think Infinite needs a bit more time to find it’s feet.
Well, we need some of all 4 of those poll options, but I’d say that arena maps should have priority over BTB maps since more people play Arena, and legacy maps should have priority over new maps (at least for the first few map packs) since there is not a single legacy map in the game currently.
Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t think it should be their priority - I think that should be maybe making the hit registration actually work or fixing the radar or the vehicles or the bajillion other things they need to fix. But I’d like to see it eventually. Forge will get us the maps which is cool, but I always like seeing classic maps with a new aesthetic.
I picked none of the above becase it needs all of it with the option to have that (players choice) on what the players wanted to play, not what 343 wants the players to play.
eh don’t really feel comfortable voting for more BTB maps as I haven’t gotten to play a single match in about a week now…not joking.
So more arena maps or new game modes.
I only have one dream. Never see behemoth again, not even in my nightmares
