I have never been able to tell you which is which. They don't even have any kind of differentiating art. I don't even know which is the remix.

honestly who knows yall, either way, both are average at best
I liked Empire in the beta, but I dont think it had anything to do with gameplay (outside of the controls feeling better for me in the beta then retail). Mainly the atmosphere. Though yeah blue team totally had advantage.
Fucking lol I had it backwards. Eden is night, Empire is day.
#realtalk
if these maps are so good that nobody remembers the names, they aint that good lol
Gonna have to fuck around on them later, but I dont recall Empire being claustrophobic. Just lacking in catwalks on mid, so it felt flat.
You foolish fool Gringo. It's closed ranged enough for automatics to dominate.
Empire is claustrophobic day map and Eden is the excellent rainy night map that's so atmospheric you can almost hear the saxophone.
You just wait.
Hey man I haven't played 5 in a minute.
I DID however watch a youtube vid of Empire and the memories came flooding back. Fuuuuuuuuuck I forgot about the shitshow. Especially on Strongholds. I rescind my comment.
Construct sucks, Default Foundry sucks, Ghost Town sucks, Isolation is fucking awful, Orbital sucks, Snowbound sucks , oh I missed Epitaph yeah you fucking suck too Epitaph go kick sand.
stop medont stop me Im having fun
Rebuttal: Construct, Foundry below average for sure, Ghost Town is great for SWAT, Isolation good for SWAT, Orbital is better than sucks, Snowbound is awful beyond all belief and Epitaph is okayish
We could make a thread about how 343i just hired a lead narrative designer so late in development on gaming side and see how that goes.
fite me
next I will rank the best halo 5 husky raid maps of which there are atleast six hundred and thirty two
This seems quite late in the process.
Things seem to be a bit shaken up with Infinite atm, hopefully it all works out.
Before people take this a doom and gloom trolling post, it's not. Game design can be fluid, and while not ideal, stuff like this can happen a lot.
Ha, uh... did you play Halo 3?
stop medont stop me Im having fun
did u?
And I've already stated I'm mostly just kidding, I'm trying out a new graphics program to see how I like it, but the point remains, Halo 3 has 75%+ good maps, so does Halo 4, Halo 5 is 50% or worse
Edit: quick observation total complete multiplayer Dev maps (I know 5 has warzone maps)
Halo 3: 24
Halo 4: 21
Halo 5: 15
I actually expect that number to be similar for Infinite because I think Forge will be so good it won't matter. At launch of 5, the quality gap was huge, now it's not so much and it's only getting tighter. I expect proper lighting and shadows to blow us away in forge 5.0

My take:
Isolation is terrible.
Snowbound is terrible, but like in a fresh, equally still terrible kind of way.
I've literally never had fun on Construct.
Epitaph is bad for most gametypes (I liked it for doubles...?)
Sandtrap is so good they changed it to Sandtarp since it was 2 EZ 2 Cheez
Default Foundry is gross.
Blackout did not translate well, partly because they messed up the port but mostly because Halo 3 is just less fun.
Ditto for Cold Storage, but also I don't really like Chill Out that much anyway.
Standoff is 50% fun. One team gets the laser and their hog slaughters the other team for 20 minutes. Better hope you're on team laser.
Ghost Town is a solid Not Great.
High ground is good for some stuff but is really goofy for slayer with spawns and weapon placement.
Sandbox maps vary a lot, there's a couple that are barf.
Orbital is... is it even in MCC? I feel like I haven't played it since 2014.
Most of the rest are okay or Halo 2 maps. The Pit and Valhalla are true classics.
I've already replied to basically this entire list like 3 posts up, and you are missing the point, I'm just kidding around
Also, I think you just don't like Halo 3 and maybe need to take a step back, the maps can't hurt you anymore, if and when you play MCC, just filter it out
Also also, yes orbital actually comes up alot in H3 MCC
Oh I agree. My shrug was more in relation to the Eden/Empire debate. On that note, which do you prefer?
Only if a map in the Sidewinder bloodline exists is this true.
Here is a little Halo: MCC Firefight footage:

Starts arround ~33m.
And here I thought you had an issue with map design philosophy, in general. :D
Hitscan and vehicle health really don't make for a great BTB experience, in my opinion, hence why I agree with your statement.

What?
Plaza, the Rig and Eden are fantastic on strongholds and decent on slayer.
For 4v4 I'd take 5's map list over 3's.
Can't tell if I just caused or prevented a numerology apocalypse.
Oh sorry, I meant haha lol yea 11/10 meme halo 3 is my fave since it came out when i was 12
Every Halo has a selection of gems and garbage, Halo 3 is no exception. I was taking a stroll down memory lane trying to think of which maps were bad, because oh man some of them were, hence "my take" I added right after I posted.
When I play MCC, I leave Halo 3 on until I play a game, just in case it 'clicks' and becomes a great game again, like it felt like at the time. I've been playing MCC regularly again for about a year now, still hasn't happened. daedalius gets mad when I do this.
Re: Halo 4: Abandon is the worst FPS map ever created. You can tell they even panic-sprinkled forge crates around last minute to try and make it work.
We agree.
Also, I was 17 when it came out, let's not start getting all halogafcivilwar.gif in here
Sorry, had a salty morning. Halo 3 worship rustles my jimmies. Was a great game, but man it just does not hold up for me replaying it next to the other games.
I really wish they could have an honest retrospective of things like Abandon. It feels like a sunk-cost fallacy in map form. Like the basic layout didn't work so they just kept adding ramps and lifts and branched and boxes until release, having put too much time into it at each stage to just give up.
I like Halo 3 BTB until I remember that BR spread, netcode, and instant-vehicle-shutdown laser.
At least the vehicle health system is excellent and we have hornets and choppers there.

I've been playing through the campaigns on the MCC in chronological order (so after the H2 New Mombasa missions I switched over to ODST). It is crazy how much smoother and cleaner Halo 2 plays than Halo 3.
It just feels so crisp in comparison.
I wish more people played H2A, I'd like to play the ranked playlist but it takes ages to find a match.

H2A has been the biggest victim of the original MCC fiasco. Classic style Halo in its prime.
