Australians need to buy the damn maps! Matchmaking sucks right now...however it is first day.

You're in the DLC only playlist, right? Not making the same mistake I did? heh

Are all the Team BR/ Team Duals and all that stuff new? I've never played a team BR or Duals before today, and I got them both like twice when I was doing normal Social Slayer before I realized the DLC only playlist existed..

Yeah, BR and Duals are new I believe.

Wow, I can't believe Bungie didn't put a sniper on Standoff. The map is huge and it would've been perfect.

Also, someone favored blue team because there are rockets right in front of the base and about 2 feet away theres a spartan laser.

Then theres 2 active camos. This is ridiculous.

I gotta play the maps again I guess, I don't see your complaints really at all...

Sniper complaint: read FAQ...I like it how it is.

Foundry is the sexiest map ever, end of story?

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 7:06 am

Yeah, haha. Foundry has a sniper rifle and Standoff doesn't

DrXThirst · Post by **DrXThirst** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:16 am

Which is stupid.

just think how much different standoff would be played if there was a sniper
hence no sniper

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:03 pm

It is definitely way too open for a sniper rifle. Whoever has it dominates the map, whereas any other map is a lot more closed off. It's just a balance issue, from what I see. Weird, but it does make sense when you think about it.

Forge Hub just released their first Foundry map.
Just played FFA on it.
Stupendous.

i agree, the standard setting bungie used were just plain stupid.

all you need is someone to run for spartan laser, another 2 people to fill a warthog and bam, your team has won while they team is defensless. Absolutely no thought went in to it.

rats nest is just as bad, theres a spot where you can camp with a warthog and see EVERY single one of their teams spawn points and easily take them down before they get a weapon to fight back.

Also, I was wrong about the rockets being in front of blue.
There are 2 rockets and a spartan laser. One RL is in front of each base and the spartan laser in sitting in the middle.

They could've at least had one sniper.

Hawaiian Modder · Post by **Hawaiian Modder** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 6:18 am

Um, First if your a good driver your smart enough to not go into the middle were the rockets and Splazer are, second it's an extremely balanced map, you only get two shots with the rockets, and one of those shots will only weeken your hog. To get the the splazer you put yourself in risk because both teams have rockets, and there's battle rifles everywhere.
Please, Stop complaining. Bungie puts a lot of time in there maps and makes sure there balanced, so even if you don't think they aren't, THEY ARE.

I quite like how there is no sniper in foundry. Its nice to run across a map without living in constant fear. I did a bit of playing in forge, and thought that maybe it was a good idea to put snipers in the locked corridor.

I think I fixed that for you.

Nice, new maps look awesome. I got the dreaded red rings of death last week so wont be able to try them out till after the new year methinks! Let us all know of any crazy forge maps you find or make!

I really wish you could see one day's worth of work at the multiplayer map designers work area.

They spent a few weeks deciding on the position of a single tree in Coagulation. You have no ground for your statements.
But it's already evident that you show no care toward logic.
How you can mindlessly hurl vexations at a team of Designers is beyond me.

DrXThirst · Post by **DrXThirst** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 2:06 pm

I understand the fact that they thought everything over and probably even had a sniper on the map at one point in time, although to find out that it didn't do to well with gameplay. I was just stating my opinion on them not having a sniper on the map, however then have 2 rocket launchers and a spartan laser.

I think they could've removed the rockets, then replaced the spartan laser with the rocket launcher and give it 4 rockets. Then, have a sniper up by a tree or something.
