I’m curious to hear what everyone’s thoughts are on the new Majestic map pack trailer.
Personally I don’t know how I feel. I guess i’m just happy to get new maps.
What are your thoughts?
Im not too thrilled about them, I mean they look okay I guess… but I am not certain I will buy them, plus the videos shwocasing the maps well… didnt make a good job out of it.
I would of preferred they had made the preview of the maps like Bungie did, with overhead views of the maps and such and then some gameplay footage showing some good play that hyped people up enough to buy the maps.
You know something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6RMDyyQng0
However watching someone tryign to snipe cross map with a boltshot and die over and over (making me look at the respawn screen longer than at the actual maps them selves) just didnt help much.
I’m pretty excited because we finally get the small maps that should’ve been on the disc.
Looks amazing. Enough said.
First thing I’m going to do is try and hijack that Hornet.
I’m all for Small, Arena style maps (Cough Guardian cough).
Only problem is, Armor Abilities could potentially be a problem.

Whether small or big, Armor Abilities are always a problem.

Armor Abilities are fine, it’s the boltshot thats the problem.

It will be a problem. Sprint on a tiny map? You can get from end to the other like that?

Camo + DMR/Sniper/Boltshot
Promethean vision A.K.A. Chams
Jet Pack breaks maps
Hardlight shield is cheap and slows down the game
Regeneration field isn’t used that much but it can really be abused.(if you stand on the edge with faster shield regeneration perk enabled you get both the healing from the perk and the regen)
the turret is useless.
Truster pack is fine.

You have a point, but I don’t consider sprint an armor ability since everybody has it. Though you do have a point none the less but I still think the boltshot will be the bigger problem haha
Hopefully, we’re both wrong and the maps will play great.

Same…same…or at least blow it up.
The maps really look awesome if you ask me! Not only am I excited to get new maps, but having new maps that look this good is just awesome! Especially some that are this pretty, I’m loving the night/space lighting of Monolith and Skyline!
Monolith has that good old classic Halo 1 feel to it, reminds me somewhat of Wizard due to having longer sight lines as well as some really close CQB battles, coupled with the thought of a central structure and elevated bases on four sides. Like all Halo 1 maps, the layout is pretty simple, yet quite effective.
Judging by the videos, I’d say that Skyline is more reminiscent of a Halo 2 map. The layout is a bit more complex, sort of like Ivory Tower, but seems to play really well regardless. I’m really curious to get my hands on it to see if my suspicions about it are correct.
Lastly, Landfall seems to be more of a Halo 3 map than anything, but I can’t say that I have anything to compare it to. Still, it looks fun!
Monday should be a good day for Halo, I’m excited to get my hands on this map pack!
