I’m unsure of what the procedure is for posting, but in league generally you’d state a few ‘‘credentials’’. I’m a long time Halo player started with Reach, always been pretty good. I placed Onyx as my highest rank, with my other ranks ranging from Plat to high diamond over a year ago now.
I came back to the game and I am happy to see it’s still fairly active most of it is really awesome, action sack is fun and people seemed to have mastered a slide hammer technique on griffball. My only complaint are the current maps in rotation for slayer feel as if they are too tuned for Pro play, I wouldn’t mind this in ranked if there was a Social Slayer counterpart which had less tuned maps. It seems that all the previous weapon spawns which made the game lovely and hectic are all gone, specifically I’ve noticed that SMG spawns have been reduced among other weapons of that type (more powerful than your loadout weapons, but not powerful enough to be considered power weapons). This has moved the emphasis from weapon control to who is better with the Pistol, which I don’t mind in ranked if people feel its more balanced but it’s a bit frustrating to only be able to play this.
As for the maps they’re all looking good to me. It’s very difficult to adjust to these new maps, but to be honest it’s always been that way when new maps are introduced. I’m just a bit swamped with the amount of spawn places and times I need to learn, even with BTB which I havent played on a single old map yet. I’d say from my experience only three of the Original maps have survived this long, which is a shame considering some of the dropped ones were really nice. However I’m sure these other new ones are great too, just I’m sorta bad right now and can’t adjust to them.
Also thanks for bringing back Haven ! Mercy is a great rendition, but feels a bit weird with AR spawns however there are enough BR’s/Carbines to compensate. I’d love to see Halo 2’s Sanctuary/Halo:Reach’s Asylum to make a return. The map was right up my alley, forcing hectic gameplay. Also as for big team battle the return of Ragnarok and Bloodgultch/Hemmorage would be really awesome.
Thanks
