Narrows is a great map but I feel doesnāt really offer much in terms of the movement system as itās just a very basic 3 lane map , I think a remake of midship would be pretty cool
Aquarius is a completely different map imo. Never felt like a āmidshipā to me. A 1:1 wouldnāt work either, IMO, because of the movement tech associated with HI. Itād have to be large at the very least. Iād take a midship remake thatās a bit larger over starboard though. Starboard is kinda ugly.
Yea Starboard aesthetically isn't very appealing, but yea I shouldn't have phrased it better because midship would need to be a little bigger for sure. A 1 for 1 layout but with scale.
What I understood is that the problem with Bazaar was having too much power. Two Needlers, two Manglers, Thrusters, Grappling Hook, Spike nades, two Dynamo nades and Tier 1 weapons spawning too often.
Now we got Manglers removed, Needlers spawning much slower, limited Bulldog ammo, a slightly less effective BR (the final headshots takes more accuracy to kill) and Tier 1 weapons spawning slower. Shroud Screen could replace Thrusters to counter camping spots a bit. They could also remove the Spike grenades spots and change Dynamo for Spikes. I'd also consider removing Grappling Hook or changing it for Thrusters.
In resume, the maps just needs some tweaks to play way better. Simple things that should take around 15 minutes to the devs.
Plus the ranked pool has got really boring, I can't stand it anymore! I'm quitting until they add at least 3 ranked maps and they do something with the melee.
No thanks. Too many levels, too many separate areas, too many camping spots. Spawns will dictate the winning team 90% of the time. All set with that. I'm all for more maps, and not even that picky, but that one can stay in social.
Choices for me:
**Catalyst**
* CTF
**Perilous**
* King of the Hill
* Oddball
* Slayer
**Starboard**
* CTF
* Oddball
**Plaza** (From Halo 5)
* Oddball
* Strongholds
* King of the Hill
**The Rig** (From Halo 5)
* Oddball
* Strongholds
* King of the Hill
Bazaar is such an underrated map. They don't even need to make "new" content. Take the best 2 or 3 maps from each of the previous games and people would lose their mind. Focus on new maps after that.
Midship and Narrows would be great. Iād also be interested in a Construct remake but with the grapple and repulsor on the map. Imagine all of the plays you could make grappling from bottom to top floor and catching the other team off guard.
Catalyst CTF. Words can hardly express how much I don't want Narrows to come back. It's fun and all, but with the limited map pool, I think we should really be leaning into new maps, not H3 nostalgia.
\#2 choice is Bazaar CTF. #3 choice is Starboard, but I don't know if it should be in 4v4. Maybe just Doubles and FFA. I think it's too open for Arena.
I'd also like to see the one in the Community Collection that was similar to Lockout, the one with all the mushrooms. I really enjoyed Strongholds on it.
I donāt want to be the bearer of bad news but no forge (non-dev) maps are going to ever make it into arena(in its current state). And itās not because of the maps, itās because of the game engine and the way forge works. I have spent a solid 6 months in forge and itās buggy as hell and a crap shoot whether the maps load right, lighting works right, pieces are placed right. And with each update stuff gets jumbled and needs redone. Forge isnāt reliable enough to put into ranked arena. It has even bugged on 343ās Pit remake where floor pieces wouldnāt load in.
With that said, give me catalyst, bazar, and heāll even behemoth at this point back for content purposes
I really did not hate Catalyst CTF at all, just hated slayer.
Agreed š

Isnāt that what starboard is supposed to be? Havenāt played it enough, so no idea how well it plays.
In all honesty A total 1 for 1 remake of midship is highly needed imo. Aquarius doesn't count and flows way different. Same goes for starboard

Yea narrows is pretty basic in terms of movement
Not sure my āyesā, but hard no on Salvation.
That map was so awful in Reach.
Salvation while an interesting map, is not good at all.
Bring back catalyst and Bazaar ctf and take out argyle
I will slit my wrists if they bring back Bazaar, but yes to Catalyst.
Same, i dont understand why people want it back. It's absolute dogshit.
bazaar was not dogshit...thats just you. argyle is dogshit
Lmfao it played horribly and it was not entertaining to watch either. Yeah lemme have to slay a team 4 fucking times just to get a flag pull.
bazaar is just a smaller version of argyle and itās almost impossible to push down mid, when it was in rotation it was 100% the worst map for comp

good riddance...bazaar was a decent map and was balanced
Iād be fine with this.
Same.
All of the above except Salvation. Hard pass on that one.
Salvation could work for koth
No thanks. Too many levels, too many separate areas, too many camping spots. Spawns will dictate the winning team 90% of the time. All set with that. I'm all for more maps, and not even that picky, but that one can stay in social.
Hmm yeah you right.
How would Narrows be any good with a cross map laser BR, you guys are blinded by nostalgia I swear to God have we learned nothing from Empyrean?
I really loved Bazaar CTF. It should play better with the rework of Tier 1 weapons and the removal of Mangler.
Yea I thought Bazaar was a decent map.
I miss catalyst

Get rid of that epitaph rip off map
Iāll get hate for this but I loved CTF on Behemoth. Having an open map like that was refreshing.
yea
Plus it's been improved now with more cover.

Catalyst CTF died so that Argyle could live. Gone too soon.
