Valhalla is Ruined

Games Other Halo
1

Ragnarok is beyond a joke now. Too many vehicles, too many power weapons and too many DMR’s.

I don’t see the point of having the Mantis there either.

I WANT A VALHALLA RE-MAKE, DON’T ADD STUFF THAT WAS NEVER THERE!

The DMR has ruined what was a medium-range map, it is now a map consisting of long-range pot-shots and campers. Personal Ordinance creates a game where anyone who dare tries to run over the hill, might get completely destroyed for doing so.

I know this sounds like I’m just QQ’ing, but I was really looking forward to this re-make. But elements of the game, and the Mantis seem to be ruining my experience.

Maybe if we could have a playlist similar to Halo 3’s Social Slayer?

Edit: The games pace has slowed down dramatically. I have no major issue with killing the Mantis, or campers for that issue. But the game-play is nowhere near the same as Halo 3. A re-make is supposed to keep everything that made it good in the first place. I feel that this isn’t the case with Ragnarok.

Let’s all run around with AR’s on a big map. How fun.

Well consisting that most of the playerbase is made out of newbies since the game launched a couple of days ago and that most weapons offered are for long or mid range I wouldn’t be surprised people usually prefer to stay back and pick off enemies that wander recklessly.

I think the problem is more the playerbase the game appeals to rather than the game itself, especially when it comes down to camping. Some people can camp, but in the same time if you aren’t able to pick off campers then you aren’t much better.

It’s been ruined because of a combination of things.

-Sprint
-Personal Ordinance
-Instant respawns
-Armour abilites
-Too many vehicles

The map was never constructed for any of these things in mind, it was created for a more Arena style play that existed in Halo 3.

I don’t think that the changes have destroyed the map. The Mantis isn’t that tough to take down if you have plasmas or some kind of Heavy Weapon. Just have to learn a tactic. I agree though that Valhalla worked very well and that Ragnarok is not the same kind of gameplay, so for the sake of having more diverse gameplay I would enjoy a playlist that places players there without vehicles, and maybe a standardized BR/DMR loadout.

Huh, that’s weird. Almost all of my encounters on Ragnarok are medium range.

I would prefer AR’s to DMR’s. Halo for me has always been about 3 things:
Headshots
Grenades
Melee

DMR’s are reducing the chances of a grenade being useful, and eliminating Melee’ing.

disagree, i love it, my fave big team map

Ragnarok is beautiful, an almost exact replica. However they need to ditch the silly novelty infinity slayer that belongs on Action Sack. A nice BTB Slayer Pro on Rag would work quite well I think.

I really don’t understand the vehicle argument. The Mantis is garbage. It’s good against other vehicles, but that’s it. I played a few BTB games and my team destryoed it in no time. Even in KoTH, where it’s only 5v5, it still gets destroyed quickly. I don’t even bother with it. Where’s mah Banshee?

Eject disc, place Halo 3 in tray, select play game… SOLVED.

I somewhat agree , the dmr nearly ruined the map. The mantis doesn’t really bother me that much. 343 should have nerfed the dmr’s accuracy a little bit.

not just valhalla, there is overpowered -Yoink- everywhere any grandma can get a cheap kill in this game

Don’t re-make a map and take away what made the map so great, SOLVED.

Your mom is ruined.

But DMR’s do make semi auto weapons USELESS.

All the other stuff is just you being stupid because you guys can’t cope with Halo 4: DEAL WITH IT.

Mad cause your K/D ratio was bad on there?

Keep the Halo 3 Valhalla in Halo 3 x] we buy new games for new experiences. That being said, the Val remake in Halo 4 is pretty sweet, like some members said above, the mantis is easily destroyed. Love the balance between everything; one big -Yoink!- game of rock paper scissors. Keep up the good work (fingers are crossed for a sandtrap remake with mammoths) YEEEEEEE BOOOOYYYY!
