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

[karn3]

I'm not a particular fan of the Halo series but the the whole "just remake old maps" thing seems a bit weird to me. You buy new sequels for new stuff like maps and weapons, so why just demand the same thing made over and over again? These things keep the game fresh and interesting. Branch out people.

Alright, what minor details that 98% of the fandom don't care about are wrong with Avalanche?

Again do you want the bungie.net links again? Its not 98% and they are not just minor details (which also make a huge difference SEE:weapon switching time from halo 2 to halo 3)

When you say huge difference I get a mental image of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons cursing DC because Superman's cape is a centimetre too long.

In Halo 2 your could switch weapons instantly leading to kills with the sword not even extended and Plasma Pistol-Battle rifle kills in halo 3 this can not be done.that is a minor change that drastically changed the gameplay (see MLG Halo 2 matches vs Halo 3 matches)

Boo Hoo it was a good thing to get rid of the cheap kills boo hoo the Halo 3 maps are worse than Halo 1's boo hoo.

Yes, that's about the gist of what you were saying. Stop repeating yourself.

Yup and your gist is "no one cares".

 

[J'aen]

So...shall we continue with these gists or get different ones?

I could do either, to be honest.

My only comments on the Sidewinder issue are these two; that online petitions aren't worth the paper they're not printed on, and that I enjoy the map.
