Big Team Battle was all I played in Halo 2. Gigantic battles with vehicles like Banshees, wraiths (wtf happened to them??), Scorpions etc is what I love. I thought we were supposed to be getting more vehicles in H3, but instead we get maps with only Mongooses (yawn), and the occasional ghost or warthog. WTF? And since BTB is social that means I play against people I easily destroy and/or people quit on a whim. It's horrible. I actually put my copy of H3 on ebay because I was so fed up but decided to hang on because I hope a patch/update will fix this one day. Or at least make not ALL of the ranked matches boring infantry spray and pray BS. BTW, I played on the Sandtrap map for the FIRST TIME today and I bought the game at a midnight launch. That is ridiculous. It's my fav map by far and I can't even play a game in it. I can't believe I'm more disappointed in H3 than H2.
Bungie has decided to go down the road of supporting MLG gametypes. It seems to me that nearly all maps have been created with small skirmishes in mind. We got 2 big maps! Sandtrap is the worst big map in the history of the Halo franchise, its just boring and its colour palette is meh. Valhalla is decent, but its a remake of Blood Gulch and Coagulation. Being a remake, it has to beat the previous. IMO Valhalla is not anywhere near as Godly as Coagulation was.
On Halo 2 me and a friend used to play 2v2 Multiflag on Coagulation all the time. It may seem stupid to some, but being a large map, teamwork plays an integral part of the experience. Now it seems MLG is favoured by Bungie map designers. Lets hope and pray for some Big map love.
I think it's clear they have to mix it up a little more. I don't need to post this at bungie, the same message is being said by thousands. MLG losers suck. The game is supposed to be fun.
