Playing some Slayer on Torque the other day, I noticed 343 has changed the weapon layout on the map, and I must say, it’s A LOT better now! I like that the two Gravity Hammers have been removed. I also like that they replaced the Rocket Launcher with the Sword and made a hole below it’s spawn that goes to bottom mid with Invis there. Love the Snipers on map as well. I’m not sure if the map got a visual change as well, but it seems like the map has better lighting now and like it’s more colorful or something. Regardless, the map plays so much better now, so thank you 343!
The only complaint I still have about Torque is the two H2 BRs on map. I still think those need to be removed from all ranked Arena maps and replaced with H5 BRs. The H2 BR has too much bullet magnetism, making it require less accuracy and skill than the H5 BR. I also just prefer the H5 BR’s sound, design, and more precise reticle. I’m mean, I’m playing Halo 5, so I should be playing with Halo 5’s weapons, not Halo 2’s, as much as I liked Halo 2. I think the H2 BR should be left in Warzone for those who choose to loadout with it over another BR variant. As well as for those who choose to use it in custom games, or Forge map creators that want to put it on their maps. It should definitely not be on any ranked Arena maps, and personally, I still don’t want to see it on Social Arena maps either, but I wouldn’t mind it being on them as much.
