Topic about these maps.
What do you think of them? I mean, if they were not played on almost every server.

I think coldsnap is fairly balanced, though it is almost way too huge and there are only like five different weapons.

Hugeass, I am not a big fan of. I love that open feel, with some cool vehicles to play with, but, it is just TOO big. And there are three weapons.

Extinction, I like. It has an incredible amount of weapons and vehicle variety, though it is very unbalanced. Yes, it is huge, but it is more interesting than hugeass. Extinction was my first custom map, and the reason I started playing CE. (Pelicans, scarabs, etc.)

What do you think?

That sniper rifle in Coldsnap should never have been unleashed.
Also where's the love for Downflow? Had some fun playing it on release day.

downflow is a good map.
Little cramped for scarab/mythos though.

Do you lack a brain? your saying
ZOMG HUGE FERKING JEHTZ WITH BAZZOKAH MIZZELS!!!!!11111
is "balanced" and freaking sinpers that are the size of of mc, that shoot bullets that are as powerfull and as farking big as a nuke or berry bonds special brand of steriods???
god what is wrong with people?

All three suck.

Grow up chains.

chains that was amazingly childish...
clsgrunt i laughed at the steroid thing
i think some of the people who criticise custom content are refering largely to coldsnap and hugeass and other maps of the sort. thats really all the insight this thread offered me

That was stupid and it didn't even make sense. Learn how to use that sentence.

Coldsnap balanced, meaning that neither team has a distinct advantage over the other.

unless one takes a jet and uses that glitch to get into red base and just nukes the hell out of them or whatever those jets do

True, but jets are very weak.
And considering the fact that you start with a one hit kill sniper...

Alas, I agree.

glitch with the jet into the other base then aimbot one hit kills with the sniper. You call that balanced??

Well...the glitcher gets killed...by a cheater...in a manner of speaking...
*head explodes*

well what if the glitcher is also the cheater. Then it is unfair even more. Sorry but that map will NEVER be balanced.

I liked downflow better.

Take me with you.

Coldsnap: Just plain sucks
Extinction: Sucks too
Hugeass: Only good for "Skydiving" during night time, and having a night Ai fight, they're hard to find.

Only good one is hugeass for skydiving...which is good for 10 min of fun.

i can see a giant ass map like hugeass being somewhat decent for sp ai jet fights. i remember thinking about it when my cousin had downloaded hugeass and was complaining about how the vehicles made no sense and so on. that was around the same time i was working on my IWHBYD sp map so i was in the "sp" mind set.

I with you. Haven't played those maps since i downloaded them when I got HCE.

i dont see the point of C4's in Coldsnap, since your usually dead once you touch the ground. since its impossible to get into the other teams bases (excluding glitches) and most vehicles are to fast, or flying to throw onto one.

Out of all of those, coldsnap is the only one I like. The others are boring... Skydiving on coldsnap with C4 attached to you is hilarious.

I just like the new weapons and vehicles. I hate the size, it takes forever to get somewhere. And the vehicles should be able to take more damage, there's too many one-hit kills in those maps.

Not to mention how weak the covies are.
I have talked to ender about making extinction v2. I want to make it a LOT better. He said i could help.

Don't call it Extinction V2, it sounds like a pathetic mod.

u should call it

Reborn

As long as it's a fair fight I'll get it, but don't make it big. It takes like 5 minutes to get across the map, and the side of the map is empty.

and if its going to be a sniper fest thing like extinction is, make sure the snipers dont have a limited projectile distance (aka can hit across the map) and give more appropiate zooms for them

Some tips for the map:
-No 1 hit kill snipers in the bases.
-The super vehicles should be like the Mythos, slow, unable to turn on a dime, and pretty easy to kill, but make it powerful.
-I likey the Covenant base, keep it.
-Don't have teleporters in the UNSC base.
-Make the level full of win.
My 2 cents.

*is driving this wagon*

*Shot the driver and hi-jacker and took control*

*will not continue with this trend that's been set and continue to go off topic*

oh wait

i really dont go on any of those maps, because they are absoulutly huge...

i prefer medium sized maps...

snow grove, blood gulch, hang em high, etc.

BattleCreek ftw

Keep in mind there may not be an v2, he is still thinking about it.
