Weapon placement on Countdown

Countdown is one of the best made maps on Reach, yet the weapons that Bungie chose to place on the map made for a very boring experience.

Having Shotgun + Sword is redundant. The gameplay on this map consists of nade spamming, sprinting with sword, or camping with shotgun.

The sightlines on this map are perfect for the sniper rifle. I suggest putting the sniper at the far back of the map, between the two big doors, where MLG has it. It would open up a lot of the gameplay instead of having everything CQB.

Oh, and please don’t say I just suck at the map. I don’t, trust me.

Can’t believe I am going to say this but ‘Adapt’, they are not going to change Countdown’s layout, it plays fine if you ask me.

I don’t have a problem with standard countdown. It’s a small map meant for CQC me believes.

The MLG version of Countdown is superior however. More variety if you will with sniper and without the CQC weapons, the map feels and plays differently.

All in all, it really comes down to preference and though this your opinion OP, try not to force on other people.
