Why do people keep voting for it? I don’t think the map is very good in regards to gameplay. The cover isn’t very good, can’t take sharp turns, the angles aren’t too good. It favours frag grenades way too much. Way to open from several angles so its way to easy to just get spawn killed. It feels very cramped and bland. What do people think about this map?
remake = popular regardless of quality…
that is all

Is it supposed to be a midship remake? It doesn’t flow too well with the gameplay.

apparently… i could swear midship had more cover… i dunno, maybe it didnt, i just feel like it did…

Midship was bigger though I’m pretty sure, and the rooms provided enough walls and space to be able to take cover and fight battles. Without having to worry about random fire from other places. Being able to contain firefights in room itself.
The map is honestly not terrible. It’s a midship remake, but because Halo 4 has sprint, it was necessary to make it a little bigger, and I think that sacrifices the flow of the map, as it does with most decent maps.
TL;DR Sprint is the problem.

I didn’t say it was terrible. And it seems to small, not big. It seems too open, its not sprint related. The sightlines, too easy to get shot from several places and the angles of the walls make it too favorable for frag grenades.

No, attempting to use maps from different games in this one is… its like ragnarok when people complained LRs and DMRs broke the map, they didnt, the map wasnt designed for them in the first place,so it was doomed to fail really.

It’s too small, but you have sprint and still can’t find cover? I don’t get it. If it’s too small, but you can move faster, you should be able to get to cover extremely easily. I have no problem finding cover on Onyx. You just have to play smarter, which I like.

I think he means on the basis that its quite easy to be spawned into the enemy’s sights with no real chance to counter them.

Then the problem isn’t with the map, it’s with the spawn system. I think it has the same spawns as midship did. I’m almost certain the map is the same size.

either way, the map has a poor spawn system and is far too frag-happy i agree…
I really like Onyx 
Onyx is a fantastic map!
Haven’t all the halo games, or at least three and up, had bad spawning system?
If there were corridors, like the pit, it might be better, and more concave bases.
Onxy is brilliant. I wish we had more arena styled maps like Onxy.
Im not sure but for me its a easy make to make call outs on - maybe its balanced as far as power weapon spawns are ?
Im not 100% sure have only played it a few times
It’s not a midship remake lol, did you guys even play on midship?
It is however midship inspired, there’s a difference.
If you have played Halo 2 you would know why.
Its symmetric, small and doesnt have a tons of Overpowerded Powerweapons. There is also no place for campers.
I love it.
