Poll: What do you think of Halo 3's new map 'Cold Storage'?

[Uncompetative]

Note: only vote if you have tried it out in Matchmaking. Vote on the basis of at least three games. So, if you hate the Fiesta gametype don't let that colour your opinions of the map. Try it out on the gloomy infection gametype (preferably in a dim/dark room so that you have a chance to see the zombies before they get you) and either an oddball or a king of the hill. This is because you cannot judge a map in isolation of a game (such as walking around it in Forge, looking at all the subtle details), but because the gametypes change the experience so much don't write it off as 'bad' if your first impressions are a frenetically random rockets free-for-all.

Its OK but I would have MUCH preferred if they released Blood Gulch. Seriously whats taking them its THE Halo map.

 

[J'aen]

There's already Blood Gulch. It's called "Valhalla". OK, it's not identical, but it's pretty much the same.

Totally agree with this guy, Valhalla = blood gulch in my books and a second map that is nearly identical would be pointless.

Pretty much doesn't cut it.

I don't like Halo very much, so I wouldn't spent money on an expansion, not even if it is free

That's the least sense I've seen anyone make in a while.

 

[Fullforce]

But it is free, so inherently you don't need to spend money on it. What's the problem here?

 

[Trogd0r]

I liked it a lot, I didn't play Halo for about 2 months, and forgot how much fun this game really is.

And besides that, free is ALWAYS good.

What exactly is so horrifically wrong with Valhalla that you need a nearly identical map to make up for it? Is it the snow? Do you hate the snow?

No I hate the smaller bases, replacing the teleporters with the cannon,not placing the weapons in the same spots, no caves with power-ups, smaller than blood gulch, no RvB episodes memories (Yea there is Reconstruction Legendary edition episode 1 and a few specials but not the 100 episode blood gulch chronicles),No cliffs,etc.

EDIT: Valhalla is my favourite Halo 3 map but it is no Blood Gulch/Coagulation

So, basically, you hate that Bungie decided to be somewhat original instead of copy/pasting Blood Gulch? Do you honestly think Bungie are going to remake Blood Gulch when the new version is good enough for almost everyone else?

Yes. They brought back maps at the end of Halo 2's life span and of course they would just for the Die-hards for the map like me (there are others) that will pay for iy rather than wait for it to be free.

There are people that want it back as well.

 

[J'aen]

I still can't see it happening. They've been doing quite a few remakes lately, and I'm sure they want to start doing original maps again - Moonbase Alpha, for instance.

They brought back the Assualt rifle because of popular demand even though they had the SMG.

 

[J'aen]

Was the assault rifle ever gone? I never played Halo 2, but I'm sure I would have heard of a missing weapon.

It's about standard for Halo bashers. It's why I find it impossible to take their opinions seriously, really.

I was pissed when they replaced the assault rifle and the good pistol...Although, Bungie must realized, how easy it was to kill their tank-alien with one bullet shot.

Hunters are nothing. How bout spawning kill a base on top of a cliff and getting 200 kills (Halo PC) the pistol is overpowered and has Infinite range and (of course) it is everyone favourite weapon for that reason.
