MLG Forged maps VS. MLG Default Maps

[iUndrground]

I'm getting sick of playing on gray-colored and remake maps like Sanctuary, Warlock, etc. They don't play like they did in Halo 2. People were looking forward to Condemned because it had the MLG look, but I knew when I looked at it was not MLG material mostly because of the anti-gravity room. I really enjoy playing on Zealot and Countdown. I really do well on them, but I think there should be more than two maps that do not have that gray-coloring and easy to forge structures. Does anyone know when is the next map pack release for Reach???

[asahi]

i agree on this. but i dont really know if bungie will be releasing any decent maps in the near future. especially the ones made for competative gaming

2 things....

1. You hate halo reach... why do you care? Not trying to be rude, but its not a secret.

3.
I for one also hate the stupid gray maps with the exception of Sanctuary. Bungie doesnt really accomodate MLG's needs when designing maps... They design maps for the general public, who is composed of casual noobs. Think about it, there hasn't been ONE superb map done by bungie in reach (some may say count. But i say meh) Sooooo even when bungie releases another map pack its still going to be crap. Look at treyarch, THEY CARE. They sent ppl down to Dallas in order to listen to the communities reception and what needs tweaking. GENIUS! Bungie just doesnt care.

1.I got used to the game.
2.You can stop being super cocky all the time
3.They did it for noobs and MLG players in Halo 2 and 3 GENIUS!!!

You mad?

Hey can you tell me how did you do when you went to that PvJ?

[StarfishDTR]

I really think they should just block the doors on Anchor 9 and use it in MLG.

Is the childish cheap shots thrown in really necessary iUnderground? Keep it civil. HEA7 was pointing out something from which he noticed in posts you may have had by not liking the game so much. That is all. Your point #2 and "you mad" is totally unecessary. All that does is start flame wars and closed threads.

@Starfish...I remember when Anchor 9 was first talked about for MLG people coming up with ways to deal with space. The best version I saw was adding some ramps and bridges inside and making space just a long hallway from one team's space plat to the other. This way if you really wanted to use space it was a risk because if you got caught in there you will most likely die. I think once the Anchro 9 map pack becomes free we may see an attempt with it in testing.

[D Moralize]

Keep it civil. I agree I get sad with all these grey maps, I wish forge would have come with a skin set or something so we would atleast change the color/texture of forge objects.

[cF WiNGER]

I hope they can somehow patch the game so it could eliminate screen lag with Forged Maps so people can use more detail in their maps. I don't forge, but from what I have read it seems the more detail you go into and more color options you do use the mroe it lags.

[ZeroCool]

I also dont like the gray only colors but thats what we have to work with right now, we have to make the best of it. And one thing we all know but have failed to realize is that....THIS IS NOT HALO 1, HALO 2, or HALO 3...so dont expect to jump into a remade map and think your playing h2 again. it's just not going to happen. Embrace Reach or hate it. And the good maps will come, just give it time

[HEA7]

we worked it out in PM he apologized and its all good

Glad to hear! How they should always be resolved by people. In private and quick.

This. I've been saying the same thing for a while. Bungie should of incorporated some type of "forge piece style" to allow customization for your unique map. In my head I've thought of a Jungle template to use. And stuff like that. But I do believe Bungie could put in a little better effort for more creative forge. :]

For some reason, Anchor 9 has never seemed to flow very well.

This should be directed to 343 Studios and Not Bungie as Bungie has handed over the reigns to them. Bungie will be supporting the playlists but they will not be making any more maps, thats 343's job now.


Anywho, we could do with some better maps but The general community is so large that I don't see maps being built directly for MLG anymore, when you think about it we are like 2% of the community that plays the game, and some of us aren't very nice when we have feedback........(that was not directed at anyone, just a generalization)

Yes, but don't the Cartographers work for Bungie still?
I was in a game with about three of them the other day and they said that they still work for Bungie.
If they didn't then then would have used a website made by Bungie, not 343.

OT: I agree with D Mortalize and Tech, I sometimes think Bungie is too lazy because of how forge world was made, but on the other hand, they are working on a new multiplatform gaming franchise that is apparently "better than Halo."

Its called TaK needs to do his job and pick GOOD maps from the forge community that HAVE color. Unfortunately, most maps picked are BAD and often LACK color.
As for using map pack maps... Ain't happening until there's a DLC Disk. In other words, hope that the CE Remake goes ODST style and brings a Multiplayer disc with it.

And Underground... Stop complaining about everything. It gets old listening to you drone on and on and on about how much you hate Reach. Go back to H3 if thats the case. Damn.

No need to have the last paragraph in the post, just PM him it. He already posted, he doesn't hate Reach as much, because hes gotten use to it.

Agreed
Completely irrelevant.
It's not complaining when I am just asking about new maps.
Especially when I see everyone agreeing with my point on the subject.

I saw a promising tweet from Sundance today [ http://bit.ly/kjrqNl ] so hopefully the maps that the Pros do test on (contrary to popular belief) and actually like will make it in. And yes apparently people refuse to listen to what I've been saying since the Noble Map pack came out about the fact that it needs to be on disk (or free) for use in MLG. Any who this revamp of their testing system NEEDs to work otherwise the replay-ability will start to diminish.

Forge is fine and there are good map out there, with the color and what not. My main problem with forge world is the sluggish aiming you get opposed to bungie maps
