Even though I'm not much of a Halo fan, all this exciting news about the game makes me actually want to buy it.

MAG NOT 256 PLAYERS?

ok dude! whatever you say! but i'm pretty sure that the domination maps are much bigger than this Halo:Reach map....

easily, that map has less than 500 square meters... MAG maps has 1000 square meters.

also, really cool, a big map....and i'm sure that it'll be a sniper fest, and pretty much you'll kill 1 guy each 2 hours.


Um, I get that you're trying to say tha MAG's maps are twice the size of what was shown of blood gulch, but do you have any concept of how big a square meter actually is?  500 square meters is probably the floorspace of a large house.  Hell, a standard soccer pitch is over 7000 square meters...

no i don't want to drop PC/PS3 games , just the multiplats, (there are still some games that i didn't mention) also i am not a Halo hater this was my favorite map as well on the first halo , always fun to snipe ontop of those two buildings, i used to play a hide and seek like game with a friend on it, i count till ten and he picks up a hiding spot that is past the caves where i have to snipe him and while he tries to melee attack me (and only melee) , its was lots of fun and that was offline too (of course i can't cheat by looking at his screen)


Ps3 games?

 

Killzone 2?  Nope...MW2(multi)? Nope....BF2(multi)? Nope..... WaW(multi)?...nope...Mag?...nope...still sectioned off and sure as hell not 256players.

Oh you want to drop some pc games?...ohhhh big one there if you do...I mean lets see...pc...vs console ohh..yeah..great stuff.

And if you keep spouting games like "FULL OPEN WORLD''  VS compt. FPS...then just leave the thread.


I wasn't going to say anything until this comment here. Mags maps are hugh, they are not capped off and there is 256 players. I have often travelled to another squads section of the map to blow up some bunkers or help repair there AAA batteries. Anyone who played MAG would know this. Therefore you must not have played Mag and your talking about something you know nothing about.

Also I wouldn't comment on sizes of Halos maps until the whole lot of it is actually revealed. For all we know those tanks could be firing at you from outside of the map like the way battlefield has mortars fired at you for stepping out of bounds.

Resistance 2 is also another PS3 game that has hugh maps. Until you can compared these maps together your basicly talking through your ass

Oh and don't forget Warhawks maps too. That Omega Dawn map was absolutley hugh.

Why are people arguing over this, for goodness sakes.

It doesn't NEED to be the biggest map in console history, it's the fact that it IS big that we should be talking about ...

 

At the end of the day, Reach doesn't ever need to tout having the biggest or best of anything, it speaks for itself.

500 square meters?  Lol the members of Bungie.net all got together and used scientific methods to try to determine the size of this map by using the firing speed of the Scorpion Tanks shells to determine an estimate of how far the tank is that shoots at the guy at the end.

The tank shoots at him from 514 meters away or a little over half a kilometer which in comparison Valhalla from base to base is 260 meters and Sandtrap from Elephant to Elephant is 365.7 meters.  In other words just this piece of the map is FAR larger than the entire area of Sandtrap which to date is the largest Halo multiplayer map ever created.  That also isn't even taking into account the other areas of the map such as the part that includes the old layout of Bloodgulch or the other side of the valley.  Also that is assuming that the Scorpion Tank is at the farthest rim of the map shooting at him when in all honesty we don't know if the map keeps going well past where the tank is. 

This map is huge make no mistake about it.  Is it OMGZ GUYZ ITZ THE HAXORZ BEZT MAPZ EVA!!!!! or whatever, who knows thats for individuals to decide but I didn't make this thread to start a huge argument over arguing over this crap.

This Map is huge end of story.
