Feels a bit like a beta
And I'm not just talking about the server issues, though those are plentiful. I mean with the maps. Yeah, the game launched with what, 11? 3 of those are forge world maps and aren't in any rotation and half of them are only for small or big games so you wind up only getting 4 maps to play slayer on, and it feels like half the time it's only on Haven with Solace occasionally thrown in. And big team is only on Ragnarock.
I know the DLC is coming, but it seems like we're going to have to wait months just to get the same number of maps every other game gets on day 1.
The same thing happened with Reach. The way I look at it is I can learn a smaller amount of maps without having to remember so many little things from so many maps. I remember Invasion on Reach had only two maps for the longest time. Same with BTB. In due time my man. 343 will take care of us. They always change the hoppers and add new maps. One step at a time. :-)
I agree 100%. Same errors as Reach.
This happens with every Halo. The first 3 months they work through the problems and new maps come out and the game is 100% better. This is the first Halo that I have enjoyed at launch, but it still needs a little work like you said.
Definitely needs network tuning work.
eh, seems fine to me so far and I"m supposed to hate Halo.
10 multiplayer maps at launch -
Adrift
Haven
Complex
Solace
Abandon
Exile
Longbow
Meltdown
Ragnarok
Vortex
Also 3 Forge maps - Erosion, Impact, Ravine
There are 3 more DLC maps coming in December (Harvest, Shatter, Wreckage), so that's not too long to wait.
3 more DLC maps in February, and then 3 more in April.
Right, but how many of them are slayer only or BTB only? There can be 50 maps, but when only 4 of them are in rotation there's only 4 maps. Played an hour of slayer pro and went Haven, Haven, Haven, Solace, Haven, Adrift, Adrift, Haven, Haven.
I'm sure this will be taken care of eventually. At some point they'll let forge maps into rotation and we can stop playing 60% of our games on the same map.
