Question(s) about the new arena map

I’m surprised I haven’t seen anything in this yet - I have a few questions about it that I would love to hear the community’s response…

  1. Do we think it is a remix?

  2. If it is a remix, of what map? — (can someone link an image please?? I’m at work, but I think the one from a Sprint video with a map that has a lava stream…)

  3. Are you more excited for that or the new warzone map? (not counting prospect)

  4. If it is a remix, are you ok with that? Not ok with it? Not ok with it but just excited to have a little more variety in arena?

Personally, I’m torn about it - I hate everything about 343i remixing maps instead of original designs, and overgrowth and riptide I think are maybe the 2 worst maps ever in gaming. That said, Stasis is a great map, one of the very few I think are actually well done and I am absolutely desperate for some variety in matchmaking! I’m about 70-30 arena and warzone, and I was bummed that one of my other favorites, Tyrant, was removed from arena… Would love to know what you think! Personally, I think this is that map they showed in the Sprint a long time ago that everyone thought was a coliseum remix… I hope it’s not that because Coliseum is the other map that I really like haha. Let us know what you think please :slight_smile:

It is the remix of the Rig.

Is Prospect only for warzone assault or will it work for both? And yeah im glad there are more Arena maps, i just hope it doesn’t suck

Yah I think it’s called refinery and it was in the sprint.

Prospect is only for warzone assault because it’s a Darkstar remix.

I wouldn’t mind if it was a remix, but if it turns into a remix like Riptide…please no, that map is just…So bad.

Ah sorry yes it was the rig… Still tho, are you all excited about it? The rig isn’t my favorite but idk why it would need a remix. If 343 has to put in remixes why not do their own version of turf and remake it like Truth/midship. Or guardian. Or narrows. Or any other great map from a proven competitive game.

Im annoyed but I am still looking forward to having another map, I hope it’s not a flop and they actually keep it in team arena whatever it turns out to be, that’s the bottom line

They would play so much differently than in Halo 3

Remixes are stupid and lazy. Taking a map you already made and tweaking it shouldn’t count as a new map.

Yes they would, that’s why I said they should remix and not remake those maps 1:1 exactly as they were. Truth plays differently than midship and is a different scale, and it’s one of the better maps IMO because it benefits from being based on a proven competitive map. Also, on my file share I have a Narrows remake and a High Citadel one - I think they are 1:1 and I’ve played a number of FFA and 2v2, 4v4 customs in them - they feel great and work well with Spartan abilities (ground pounding from the big lifts in narrows to top mid is AWESOME, slide jumping on high citadel is a great tactic). So, might not play the same but I’m not certain that’s a bad thing, and they CANT be as bad as overgrowth if they tried.

Bottom line, I’m looking forward to a new map because 90% of my posts here are about gametypes and maps needing variety. Won’t be happy if it’s a remix but I’ll play the -Yoink- out of it either way. Stasis restored a little faith that they can make decent maps if they try, so it might surprise me (I surely hope so)

Couldn’t agree more. Did you like stasis or tyrant?
