Xbox One Crew w. big enises ... Halo MCC HYPE THREAD! (est. 2007)

I just messed around with the new maps (Rat's Nest and Standoff). These things are impressive. One thing that comes to mind is how balanced the weapon selection is for the teams. No more racing for 1 rocket launcher or cloak, both sides are outfitted with the same gear.
Standoff is definitely a long range weapon map. It's wide open with minimal cover. There's no way someone can make it from coast to coast without getting spotted.
You can see that Bungee was tempted to implement an underground tunnel system. It looks like it was all there at one point (multiple pointless doors and terrain cutouts, but either removed or rethought.
Rat's Nest = close quarters when in the inner portion of the map. There's no creeping, there's no hiding. A detached machine gun would destroy everything in there.
The outer ring feels like race track. I wonder if there's any way to camp on that air vent tubing that runs around the map. :thinking:
This is going to be loads of fun to play.
Off to Foundry.
