Sick of Zealot/Sanctuary

[sECUREij]

I've been watching all weekend and I have to say MLG is overdoing the Sanc Zealot Gametypes, it seems like every series has four out of the five games being on the two maps. I mean they have more then enough good Forge maps, and Countdown. I don't see any reason why they're overdoing these two maps.

Look at the championship games

Game 7 - Team Slayer - Countdown
Game 8 - Neutral Bomb - Sanctuary
Game 9 - Capture the Flag - Element
Game 10 - Team Slayer - Zealot
Game 11 - Team Slayer - Sanctuary

Sanctuary is the pit of Halo 3

Sanctuary is the pit of Halo 3
But the Pit was only played twice per 11 game series. were as Sanc can be played four times in a 11 game series

How is it played four times? its on flag slayer and assault, as is zealot, but I don't know where you're getting a fourth gametype

[wcdd7]

Agreed. kc needs to step up

Fine three times. but my argument still hold, if Sanctuary, and Zealot are both played Maximum ammount of times they still take half of the games

Nexus is TS only. Countdown is TS and CTF only. Element is TS and CTF only. That's why. Everything else is in testing. So they are not going to put testing gametypes on the circuit.

[Synystars]

Too add to this, anyone else think assault games are so boring to watch?

[Jewjitsu]

it's cause in halo 3 they had 7 maps, but in reach they only have 5. there will definitely be more maps in v4.
but yea, it got really annoying watching sanctuary or zealot twice in a row, they should have spread the gametypes out a little bit

[DeeLuv]

343 needs to step up with some original MLG quality maps. The size and scope of the new Defiant maps is impressive, and gives me hope that 343 can get it done.

This. ^^^

We need more maps or gametypes available. And maps that are good for multiple gametypes, unlike Nexus.

I'm trying to get a more organized group together to do map testing and trying different gametypes on forge maps, and give reviews on them... hopefully we can get some support and more players and get it rolling and maybe get some real good, competitive, multi-gametype maps highlighted and get MLGs attention. It's still in its infancy, but there's more info here: http://thelannetwork.com/forumshowthread.php?2869-Weekly-Forge-test-day

Everyone needs to remember, Reach MLG is still young. We have forgers all over the place working on maps at an alarming rate. Look at SaLoT, he just came out with a sick Narrows inspired map. Don't worry. I would guess V4-v6, there will be more maps/gametypes. The variety will come. Just be patient.

I barely saw any Nexus and element :( They should add Retroactive.

I agree with too little forge. But, Retroactive is the worst map in the playlist, its very poor. If you control the top of the map, you can spawn trap completely with no difficulty. I would like to see Android, or Combine/onslaught vR in there. SaLot is beasting back.

Yes. Oh man I cannot stand to watch Sanc assault. Its so boring...

[Jewjitsu]

killa kc needs to figure out how to make these games shorter. in halo 3, there were basically only 2 games that always went 15 min, construct king, and guardian ball. in reach, every gametype besides slayer goes to at least 15 min. it gets boring and really repetitive after a while.

[aclockworkgeorge]

yea i kind of agree that those two maps got played a bit too much, but like everyone is saying, theres good reason for it.

not only am i hoping for new maps, but i want to see oddball and king in future events, for some reason i always enjoyed watching those gametypes in H3.

[usernameranq]

Ya, I want to see King and Oddball gametypes back in the mix. Plus like Mrkillboy said It's still young give it some time. I think they should add the new maps that 343 made. Like Anachor 9 (If that's how you spell it) is a very good size for a good MLG map. I think there's more forgers out there that are going to make there maps to MLG soon we need to wait alittle longer.

[SaLoT]

Well it is true Reach is still in the early stages of the game and the games were better then i expected to be honest.

There are many maps out and few really good ones, but they have to be look at before we can get any good maps out.

[PK Toolboxxx]

Remember guys this was the first reach event. halo 3 didnt really get into the swing of things until v4-v5. i understand what your talking about but give mlg time to add more gametypes and maps. i honestly think by the time v6 comes out, we will have more gametypes and maps than in h3.

[SniPeZiLLa]

In v4 I think anchor 9 should be used tbh.

To bad Mlg is to cheap to download the map pack. I mean not only anchor nine, but every Forge map on the new map looks so much better "Brighter nicer, and everything else"

I don't think its because MLG is too cheap to dl the map packs. They used Heretic in H3.

For maps to be used in MLG, they will have to be on disk. Heretic was used because MLG bought a few hundred copies of ODST since all the downloadable maps were on that disk.

[PulseKiller]

If the pros were willing to actually test forged maps, we wouldn't have this happen. The pros do not test the maps, and then MLG essentially lets them decide the new game types. This will lead to pros voting for the maps that they already know which will make the circuit full of remakes and maps that they are familiar with. If you want change, blame the pros for not actually taking the time to try out new things.

[Gruntly]

I too am starting to get a little bored with the maps available in v3. Hopefully the v4 maps will add some variety. Also, what's with the Needle Rifle start in Killa KCs' File Share? I'm not starting a DMR vs. NR debate, just wondering if anyone has word on what is going on with it...
