Oh it is SOOOO ON tonight baby! WOOT! Mega is back in the game!
 
Ok I finished downloading the maps and got some play time with all of them.

First, Lock Out. I mean, Blackout. It's awesome. We are going to have some awesome Rocket matches on this map, just like in the Halo 2 days. ^_^

Second, Avalanche. I had fun with the Spartan Laser on this map. I hit my friend twice: once when he was in a hornet, and once when he was on foot. There's a ton of lifts on this map; I bet I could go places the designers didn't intend in a game of Pinball. I will try to experiment on that tomorrow. :D

Ghost Town is a very busy map, I suppose you could say. Even though it's not as big as something like Avalanche, the density of buildings makes it harder to find people in a 1v1 match. But, it's pretty good for hiding, and you can get around in a Mongoose decently. I think it would be a neat map for Oddball and CTF, and perhaps Territories.

I didn't see any of you guys, though. :( But, I'll be playing again tomorrow, so maybe we could schedule something? ^_^
 
I saw you online, but it was like 130am my time and I passed out. All I saw was you had an "away" message. So hopefully sometime tonight I will.
 
I have today off so I'll play later on. By the looks of the time you edited your post >.> that's waaay too early for me to try to play somethin like that... :lol

Oh, that might have been while I was still downloading it. Maybe later then.
 
Man, I love Blackout so much. I had a really great game on it earlier. Don't know what happened after that, though. :lol

I am really happy with all of the new maps.

But what the heck is up with Team Duels? Do they purposely do that on Avalanche so we can find the other team?? Ugh. I don't like that game type. I wish it was just Slayer so we didn't all have those stupid signs over our heads. And Avalanche is too big even for eight people. It's more of a BTB map.
 
I don't think we actually finished a game on Team Duals though, do you know how much harder it would be to kill people if there weren't signs on our heads? :lol
 
Yeah, but it also negates most advantages you can get on that map. Camoflauge is worthless, as even though you are invisible, they can see you by the sign over your head. It also negates crouching to stay off the radar, because of the same reason. About the only thing you can really still take advantage of is long range weapons such as sniper rifle, rocket launcher, and the Spartan Laser, since even though your location can be determined easily, they can't exactly stop you unless they have a range weapon as well.
 
True, but the fact that they had no vehicles on the map besides the Warthog and Mongoose kinda made those games seem pretty pointless, especially when we couldn't even finish them in the time limit... =/
 
Yeah there's normally tanks on both sides, and I believe there's 2 flying vehicles for each side too. I just remember deleting them in forge, I don't know if they usually spawn like that or if they're there just for spawning purposes.
