The thing about Torque is, it’s so normal, that it ends up being not fun or memorable. I mean, it’s at least a fair map spawn and weapon spawn wise. And the gravity hammers are a cute touch. But the map is very, VERY meh. Not very creative compared to more recent maps like Overgrowth. At least Riptide has non-symmetrical layout that encourages having to pass through (or control) choke points. Torque ends up being “let’s all rush for rockets at mid and then run around with gravity hammers”. Making any use of going bottom near useless seeing how it’s just as effective flanking from the top than the bottom.
Tyrant looks like Monolith from halo 4 and is a perfect example of a CTF map, symmetrical. Plus, finally, we get to play on a forerunner structure in (drumroll) SPACCCCEEEEE. Halo 5 lacks maps in space, I have lots of hope for this map.
I personally don’t see the big deal with torque… 2 hammers is a bit much but I think it is a good map

What if I told you… ALL the maps are in space.
it’s not normal anymore when I look upwards

good how?
sure it’s pretty balanced, but it’s just not interesting.
As soon as it comes out people will quit complaining about torque because they will be too busy complaining about the new map.
Every time I play Torque this is my reaction…
Torque is a bit too big for 4v4. The weapons are a bit much. The lighting is terrible. The lower middle needs more options to get up on the streets. The pistons need to be activated with shooting and not on timers.
All of 343s maps are forgettable
Should be interesting, should see how it plays out!!
While I’m not overly fond of Torque’s layout, I must say, that the two Gravhammers are sinfully fun!
I don’t think it’s a bad map and at least it’s a little bigger with fair spawns it’s just very forgettable because the only thing unique about it is that you’re spinning and space and if u look up to see that you get sick feeling or killed
Torque sucks

Haven? Exile? All the warzone maps are good-. Their BTB forge maps are cool The only problem with arena maps are that they look very similar and that it lacks emersion, substance, and any scenery sometimes. I get its called arena, and it has to be all MLG but what made maps like lockout cool was the design and structure.
The hammers are -Yoinking!- ridiculous in FFA on Torque. In fact, FFA is pretty awful on most maps in H5.
I think the rockets should be replaced with a sniper, the bottom mid pillar should be hollowed out and contain a hammer instead of the red/blue closets and the pistons should stay half mast for easier access to the street/topmid from ground level.
Torque isn’t even bad. The enemy trajectory is at least predictable, unlike most of Halo 5’s swiss cheese corridor maps.

But seriously, I love Torque. Great lighting, AMAZING skybox, pretty good weapon placement, and PERFECT for things like Assault and CTF.
I’m hyped for Tyrant, as it looks to be a space forerunner map with a Coliseum vibe to it… And I LOVE Coliseum.
Are you kidding? The skybox alone was really cool and unique.
