They're bringing back the most boring, safest choice possible.

They're playing it safe. So lame.

Again, this is my opinion. They are remaking a series of games that they had zero involvement with, and then crafting it as their own.

Their design choices and additions to these maps are a foreshadowing of what Halo 5 will be like, and that outlook is bleak.

I cringed so hard at the jump-up to the flag. So idiotic. They want to make the game more accessible, by ruining the competitive nature of the map.

And yes, Coag is a cop-out, and so is Warlock.

Once again, because they didn't redesign the maps YOU wanted. You don't like the maps they chose then fine, but don't sit here and act like they're doing a terrible job because you didn't get your way.

Was really hoping for Containment, but hey, at least I'll still be able to play it online.

My reaction to Warlock being a map is like Zanzibar being an Anniversary map: expected as much, bored of it, but it's still a good map.

The safe choice of maps COMBINED with the design decisions.

It's their DESIGN choices that irk me. They probably could have included all my favorite maps and still found a way to ruin them.

That's what 343 does. They take a great concept, and run it into the ground.

See: Halo 4.

At least this map makes more sense then remaking Headlong in Halo:CEA. I was half expecting a Halo 3 map to somehow get into Halo 2: Anniversary with their past decisions.

Looks nice though.

Hopefully in forge we can take the remade maps and make them exactly like the old ones. Honestly, I would have preferred for the old maps to be remade without any changes. Though, I won't voice my opinion until I actually play them and see if the changes impact the classic map flow.

There's nothing wrong with their design choices. Halo 4 was their fist game as a studio so obviously it wasn't going to be the greatest game ever made. Ever since then they've been listening to the community and doing their best to give us the gameplay that once made Halo great.

If you don't like the way they're going with Halo then forget about and play another game.

I like it, wish the colour palette was more vibrant like coag , know what I mean?

My only complaint out of all six maps, and the whole suite in general. I wish Coag was brighter, in the same vein as Zanzibar. Either way, I can't wait to kick your #BUTTS on it in a month.

Out of all the ones I've played, they were definite improvements.

Deal!

I have to say, I also used to be a Splinter Cell fan. I get the same feeling as Splinter Cell 1-3, to Double Agent as I do with the Halo series up to where 343 took over.

Just...what happened?

Back to Destiny.

Yeah, that Coag color scheme is pretty fugly. It seems like there's a dingy brown layer over what should be a very verdant scene. Do not like -- but we've only seen one photo, so hopefully it'll win me over later.

After seeing how Destiny turned out I think I'd rather have 343 on the Halo franchise at this point.

Yeah, we all felt the same way about Lockout and it turned out very nice in motion. We'll see I guess :)

Bringing back and buffing the sentinel beam is an interesting choice. Excited to try it out. The redesign of it looks sick as hell.

Would have rather they pick a map that hasn't been remade before. Do we really need 3 versions of Blood Gulch, Wizard, Zanzibar, and Lockout?

I am always a fan of brighter maps - especially for Coag.

I see, so general map flow stayed the same? I just want them to play the same with a touch of spice here and there.

As a die hard Halo fan I keep forgetting this is coming out.....been too wrapped up in Destiny and FH2. Everytime I remember about the MCC I get all warm and fuzzy inside.

WOAH.

Blood Gulch/Coagulation/Hemorrhage/Bloodlines looks beautiful! Great job Certain Affinity.

That's really the map I want to see more gameplay footage of.

There are two variants built-in. One of them (Coagulation Anniversary) is classic teleporters. Same locations.

Man-cannons were one of my favorite additions to Halo 3, I felt they were much more fun (either to travel or shoot at) than using the teleports. Great to see the option in there though.

Wait, Phil Spencer's favorite map is Blood Gulch?

I guess he really is the man to lead the One into a brighter future.
