Largest MP Map ? nah.

Some of the biggest? , not sure as well.


you do realize the scale correct.  Cause either you don't or your just wrong.  First indicator is how small a scrorpion tank is.  Its litteraly a spec off in the distance.  Those tanks are huge. Second is that the panorama view at the end is just a piece of the map lol thats not the entire thing the rest of the map is what we were seeing earlier and thats behind the red guy.  Name me one map larger than that on a console.

don't know if you played any other FPS but i'll tell you its not THAT big.

He said on console. Are you just looking for an arguement? because so far that's all your doing. Oh btw you can give us examples of other FPS console games with maps that huge?

Cool know i will be sniping without anyone know my position... eheh... Love bungie

This is fucking awesome. I know that Bungie has always stressed using the right amount of players (8v8 max) to capture that balance and it's hard for me to argue but I think that this is strong evidence of larger team battles. I Iove how they have been trickling out all this Reach shit in such a calculated manner. It's like I just got done cleaning my draws after the E3 space battle/ firefight reveals caused me to soil them and now this, time for a fresh pair. And the holo ability is sick. It's gonna be chaos on that big ass map with jet pack guys flying around getting sniped and people unloading half their clips on guys that aren't really there. My appreciation for Bungie just keeps on growing and growing and growing. Seriously I have no idea what awesome shit they are going to announce next. 

Also to Halo fans, don't forget to keep checking Bungie.net for the weekly updates.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Dude, just end it. You're beating a dead horse.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Thing is, map size dosen't equal good. Huge maps can seriously damage competitive multiplayer. Look at BFBC2 and Killzone 2. Or some of the maps on CS and the Call of Duty franchise. Usually the most played maps are the ones that offer fast paced games and/or that can be played tactical. If running off to the other side of the map takes 2 min, its not a good map for competitive play.

And you have to look at how the game is designed aswell. If you can jet pack your way through a big ass map in a few momements time, then you need to have a big map. But games like Killzone 2 and Battlefield 2 have that "realistic" type style. Take BFBC2 for example.. it would take forever to travel from start to finish by foot in these maps. But Halo 3 type play would allow you to cross them alot faster. The gameplay is so different.

So in scale to how the game is played, i'd say BFBC2 has bigger maps, but that dosen't mean anything.

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.


HAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

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.
