Does anybody actually enjoy these maps? At this point in dashboarding every time I get these atrocities in matchmaking. They are the worst maps in the halo franchise in my opinion.
Yhea both are horrible
Awful maps. Need to be removed entirely.
The only maps I enjoy playing are Coliseum, Plaza, and Rig. THREE MAPS…
Usually when someone hates a particular map it happens to be one that I like and so I’ll try to present an alternative point of view. But in this case I’m, at best, indifferent to the maps you called out. Orion may not have any particularly game-breaking characteristics (that I can think of) but it also has nothing to offer in its favor either. White Cell, if I have any criticisms, is too vertical (thank you, clamber) and way too samey-symmetrical-competitive-balanced-been-there-done-that. I know there’s a place for maps like that, but they’ll never be favorties of mine.
In the end I find that when I think I hate a particular map then what it is I’m really hating on is the homogenous play style that it lends itself to and that it ends up representing. And ultimately that sameness has a lot more to do with the sameness 4v4 slayer, the oldest staple of Halo multiplayer, than it does with any particular venue. The theory gets confirmed when I find myself on a map I know I love (like Plaza or Riptide) and I’m still having a hard time mustering enthusiasm for the match. I’m not saying that’s what’s going on with you or with anyone else, but that’s what’s usually going on with me.
I don’t mind either map.
That said I wouldn’t mind them being rotated out for new forge maps. Nice to have some new maps.
