No more Exile

Sun Jan 13, 2013 4:07 pm

So I've been home for two weeks playing Halo 4. One of the biggest problems I've come across playing is the map Exile in BTB, yet we continually vote for it. Banshee and Tank are neutral, yet Blue team gets a Gauss at their spawn. I understand that we are a community of divers and gunners, but I don't think 50% odds of getting the Gauss for two people is fair to the rest of your team. This is my plea to drivers and gunners to please stop voting Exile and be considerate of your teammates.

I LOVE exile. Sure, the blue team gets an advantage with the gauss and whatnot, but Red team can usually win fairly easy once the gauss has been taken down if playing smart. People are overdramatizing the whole red/blue buisness.

I always wonder if everyone other than us is enjoying vortex while we're driving around.

Also, I never vote for exile, but thats because it gets voted often enough even without my help. I like the map. Besides the initial frustrations of blue team getting all the vehicles at the start. The biggest problem i have with it is that blue team is closer to the banshee. I'm pretty sure they didn't play test the map at all... Either that or all the playtesters sucked at everything

Exile sucks. I love the Gauss hog. Like, LOVE it. But it's just way too unbalanced. If 343i is anything like it's predecessor, hopefully it will look at some of the statistics and change it. Maybe if more games are lopsided and it starts getting voted against more frequently, they'll see the stats and ditch it or fix it.

Also, hi guys!

No but seriously, we need to stop voting for Exile. And Complex, for the love of all that is Holy in this world... please stop making me play on Complex...
It's not that I have anything against Exile though, I just want more Vortex.

I love exile. It's so fun to play on :P and even though one team gets the gauss the other team usually easily snags the scorpion so it works. Complex sucks though. Worst map on H4 imo.

I don't think I've ever really talked to you much, but you're my new favorite.

I like Complex but I can understand what people are saying about the Gauss on Exile being unbalanced, though it's not too difficult to take out.

Longbow is pretty much the only larger map I enjoy in Halo 4. (Haven't got the new maps and don't plan too)

Me too, like I've said before, I often feel guilty getting in a hog because I feel like I'm well.... hogging it.

I just generally find that nothing works well together in Halo 4. On top of the circular map flow, all of our power weapons and vehicles never seem to be where they're actually needed.

I will happily quit voting for Exile, I didn't even vote for it that much previously (occasionally early on before I realized how broken it was). Even randoms understand the importance of that Gauss and spend their entire game trying to control it. One game I played last night I watched the film and a member of the blue team was always in that base making sure they didn't lose that spawn. They were just randoms, and they did everything they could to keep control of that spawn. As soon as teams of randoms start working in instinctual coordination you know a map is too simple.
