RTX panel said Vertigo was smallish asymmetrical. I'll have a vid up soon.

Hmm, ever since sprint was introduced, the pit hasn't played the same. I'm wondering if 343 increased the dimensions to account for that. Other map looks interesting and I don't care about the other stuff.

No, you're spot on.  That's another reason that Gul's wet dream fantasy of having all the Halo maps (EVAR!!!) available as a massive DLC is a bad idea.  Standard sprint and Armor Abilities fuck everything up.

Did I hear you say you prefer customs once or was it someone else? Either way could you not take out the armour abilities ?

 

@Deep can the sprint be taken out of H4 ?

Not that I know of. I haven't even seen word of modders succeeding at it offline. At least not in the newest gametypes mods online.

This link can explain better then I can how to set the game type keep in mind I'm using this as an example . Also you can set the armour ability in a drop just remember to disable the player load outs

You've confused me. I see Sprint in still in that gametype. We use Binary Slayer once in awhile and it has Sprint. Did you mean something else?

Do you have a modded gametype that allows Sprint to be disabled? It certainly isn't (to my knowledge) in the default gametypes.

I will get it but yeah still sucks because the other map packs didn't do much for me. They know we'll spend the $$ though. And ricochet sounds like a similar gametype called bombing run that was in UT2004... which was pretty awesome back then.

Looks like the only thing of importance (if you want to call it that) is the Bullseye Pack.  The other two appear to be only fluff and really don't relate to gameplay.

After viewing the vids and reading about the maps, I'm not going to purchase upon release for a couple reasons:

1.) The population is already low so the chances of playing the map against randies is slim considering I typically play objective, btb skirmish, and dominion.  

2.) I've played enough remakes of the Pit in Reach and H4 that unless there's something about it that significantly increases its appeal, I'v had my fill.

So it doesn't look good in terms of me spending money on this bundle, unless my 2o2phalo clan makes it mandatory.

Yeah, but it's The Pit. You like The Pit.

Imagine watching us play on this new version from a capped vid. If you don't own it, that's the only way you'll get to participate. We'll be using all the wrong callouts ands and using poor strategies and you'll just be, you know, watching. ;)

It's actually quite sad.  Typically, I gobble up anything halo related, but Halo 4 has disappointed me in so many ways.
