Who wanted giant maps?  Blah.

maybe the community forgers can make something  from them. But honestly if they made the greatest tourney map ever out of these, I would be pissed that I have to buy a dlc map, to get a forge version of the map I want to play.

Oh well. Maybe something will be announced at PAX or E3 that will be exciting.

For Halo 5 we'll see maps for big team battle that dwarf Reach's Forge World in playable area.  Player cap will stay at 16 though.

On a serious note, I'm more interested in the achievements to knock them out and be done with the game at this point.  Keeping the disc as an "every now and then" game to play.

This map looks like a rage-fest. Vehicles (especially tanks and hogs) and small corridors and tunnels do not mix.

In all honesty, this map reminds me of Meltdown - and I hate that map.

Oh well, I'm sure somebody, somewhere will enjoy playing the map.

Meltdown is an ever looping map at its core. This map seems more linear.

Meltdown is a terrible map for btb. It reminds me of hemorrhage in that you need to stick to the edges or camp in the caves to survive. Anyone that is caught in the open are sitting ducks. Meltdown is decent for dominion because the bases offer some use, whereas in btb, they are empty space.

You guys act like there's any difference between these maps.  Meltdown, Longbow, whatever else.  I don't even remember their names and I've played a lot of H4.  They're all the same, in different colors.  That's the problem.

To be fair, I think some would say the same with regards to a lot of the competitive maps.  Simplex is different from Lockdown?  That's different from Midship?

Well Simplex and Midship are the same and I can't really imagine wanting to have both, but Simplex/Midship and Lockout?  Totally different!!! :-)

BTW while we're on this topic, let's also say that Valhalla sets itself apart.  It plays totally differently and way better than the rest of those big maps.

Valhalla minus the Mantis, yes.  I like Valhalla minus the Mantis (and other vehicles).
