Please take this map out from the BTB playlist. Let’s be honest nobody likes this map it absolute garbage. It plays bad and looks bad.
Errm… well, I happen to like Abridged…
Have you taken a good look at the map… Just cause it has a falcon doesn’t mean it’s good.
It’s terrible. No reason for it to still be around. Just like a lot of things in Reach.
I actually very rarely use the Falcon… I just know that I have fun on Abridged.
You ever play another Halo game because Abrigded is not what a map should look like.
Yea, I’ve played every Halo game except Wars… I know it’s not really a pretty map, and that it could be better designed, but it’s still fun to me and I don’t think it should be removed. I wouldn’t be heartbroken if it was, but I wouldn’t lobby for it to be axed as I do enjoy the map.
Just saying one less forge world map would do the game good.
Sorry you don’t like the map, Method.
As one of the co-creators of the map I would love to hear any input you have on the map. We are constantly working to make it a better map for everyone to enjoy, but without constructive feedback we are without anything to work with. I understand that you don’t like the map, but what are the reasons behind your distaste?
I know Abridged doesn’t have a lot of flair in the visual department, but a lot of that is due to the scale and issues regarding frame-rate.
I encourage you to post it in the feedback thread, located here.
This helps keep the feedback consolidated so we can easily look it over in a quick and efficient manner when making revisions.
There’s also an updated version that should be coming in the January update, so check out the changes to see if any of your issues might have been fixed.
I look forward to hearing any criticism you might have!
I dont hate it, but dont like it. It is better than some of the other forge maps out there.
Abridged is hands down the best BTB map ever created. Just not the MM version, the latest version fixes problems with insta-kill falcons

Sorry, when was it decided you spoke for everyone? A lot of people I know, as well as myself, enjoy this map.
So why don’t you start explaining what’s wrong with it instead of making jabs at it with nothing to back it up.
What about this map makes it so terrible? I personally like it better than most of the other forged maps in Reach, It is balanced and doesn’t have any cheap junk like the overpowered Banshee. IMO Abridged plays well and is an excellent map.

sorry but abridge isn’t a map that can be improve, you can still use the main concepts to create a different map with a similar feel but trying to improve abridged is never going to work.
it’s one of those maps that you have to accept it’s bad, not for just a few reasons but so many that it’s hard to distinguish what they are because the reasons are all blurred together.
honestly, it’s better off just removing abridged from matchmaking and replacing it with a different map, still built around the same idea’s but done A LOT better.
So…you’re saying it’s unequivocally terrible but will not even begin to explain why.
That’s helpful.

it’s just one of those maps … -.-
you do get maps from time to time that they are either done so well that you can’t fault it or figure out why they are so good and the same goes for bad maps, i’ve built maps myself that where so bad people just couldn’t figure out why but hated everything about it, i’ve also had the other end of the spectrum but no strong as the bad map…
sometimes you just have to accept that maps like this have no hope for them, you are better of just starting over from the same idea, just done in a way that works.
Good map. Needs to stay and we need more like it.

But removing the map on the grounds of it “being bad, but can’t explain why” is a terrible decision because there’s no actual explanation of why it was removed.
You’d have a point if everyone (or at least the vast majority of people) felt that way across the board but that is not the case. It’s only a case of you, along with others, personally thinking it’s a bad map beyond saving.
If this map is to be removed, you’d best figure out what’s so bad about it because being “so bad people just couldn’t figure out why but hated everything about it” is not an acceptable reason to remove it, because as it is, it’s not much of a reason at all. It’s little more than “because I don’t like it” reasoning.
OP, you’re failing spectacularly at convincing anyone of anything. And this is coming from someone who also doesn’t like Abridged.
(To the author, since they seem to be watching this thread: I, alas, also cannot formulate specific reasons as to why I dislike your map. But that’s why I’m not demanding its removal. I do wish you good luck in improving it.)
Abridged is my second favorite BTB map [Ridgeline has moved past it into first place]. But I want the current version removed and replaced with the updated version.
I like Abridged’s novelty, which is what I think is turning off people who can’t otherwise point out what they don’t like about the map. Battles don’t flow the same way they do on the very popular Hemorrhage; but I like the difference. And where else can you get two Rocket Warthogs, one for each side, without having to play with the dreadful (in my opinion) Anniversary game type on Timberland? [Mt. Lam Lam only has one.] And what other map has both an Energy Sword and a Gravity Hammer? And where else can you find Falcons (besides Spire where there’s a Banshee that overshadows them}? On Breakpoint? Try finding it in BTB (and even if that’s fixed, that’s still only two other maps with Falcons).
I always have fun with Abridged, both in Slayer and Objective type games. I hope it remains with us until Halo 4.
