Ramirez77 Posted September 20, 2015 You guys honestly think coliseum doesn't look anime? Idk what to say. For me it shouts anime. Maybe I can show the similarities in detail later. But I am now thinking you are all honestly confused what it is I am referring to. Ok I don't like the look either but could you be more specific? Share this post Link to post
bluejay Posted September 20, 2015 I expect either a tournament, or involvement with HCS. Forge info would be pretty awesome though, gotta say this time around 343i didn't give up everything like they did with H4. Share this post Link to post
bluejay Posted September 20, 2015 I don't like the look either but could you be more specific? The funny thing is that its more of a compliment than an insult, frankly I wish more game developers would be more creative with their games, instead of just making everything look as realistic as possible.

Shura Posted September 20, 2015 Plaza, Colisuem and Regret are my favorites in the Aesthetics category I fucking hate the fact that every human map has that colored line on every structure like Humanity was stripped off of creativity in the future Share this post Link to post
Mr Grim Posted September 20, 2015 So there's still quite a few maps we haven't seen yet on the arena side of things. Share this post Link to post

Brutality Posted September 20, 2015 Anyone else really hoping for a "The Sprint to Gold" series? I've enjoyed every second of The Sprint so far and this seems like it would be an interesting look into the "polish" aspect of game development. 3 Share this post Link to post
S0UL FLAME Posted September 20, 2015 We've seen all the maps for Arena. Truth, Regret, Empire, Eden, Fathom, Plaza, Rig, Coliseum, Orion, Pegasus, and the two Breakout maps. That's twelve. Two more. Share this post Link to post
Mr Grim Posted September 20, 2015 Are we absolutely sure that the 4 forge maps count? 2 Share this post Link to post
KadinPanti Posted September 20, 2015 Actually, I totally get the anime/eastern stuff. And it's not a bad thing, unless you inherently hate anime, I guess. 343i's art style is definitely more angular/curvaceous than Bungie's blocky/bulky art style of the past. Halo 4, and, even moreso Halo 5 have a vibe that just screams "Mecha Anime", and less "Hard Sci-Fi Military Hardware." Granted, I feel like Halo, or, at least Bungie, as always had some level of anime influences on them. Remember Oni? Again, this isn't a bad thing. At least, not in my opinion. There are certain things I like and dislike about 343i's artstyle, just as there are certain things I like and dislike about Bungie's. A major complaint I have with the Bungie art style is that Human structures/setups make no functional sense a lot of the times. Like, what the heck is going on in Blackout? 343i's art is more hyper-stylized and not as gritty as the older games, but Is it cartoony? I wouldn't say so. The most cartoony Halo game imo is Halo 3, and I still love that game's visual style to this day. Some of it, I'd reckon, is visual fidelity, as well as in-lore timeline tech advancements, but I'd argue that a lot of it is pure style. Whether or not that's good is completely subjective, but if Halo was made/published my Square Enix, or Konami, I could see it looking like 343i's art style for sure. 5 Share this post Link to post
Moa Posted September 20, 2015 Are we absolutely sure that the 4 forge maps count? We've asked and asked and nobody has commented. @@Sal1ent - any confirmation? Share this post Link to post
TheCelticDragon Posted September 20, 2015 Arena Maps so far: 01. Truth 02. Regret 03. Empire 04. Eden 05. Fathom 06. Coliseum 07. Plaza 08. The Rig Pictures of each in Spoiler: NEEDS MORE GRASS i don't think there has been a previous halo game with as many developer made maps where the geometry looks so similar (empire, eden, fathom, plaza, rig) 1 Share this post Link to post

publicbussystem Posted September 20, 2015 i don't think there has been a previous halo game with as many developer made maps where the geometry looks so similar (empire, eden, fathom, plaza, rig) CE?(Although you could say that it was due to limitations at the time) Share this post Link to post
S0UL FLAME Posted September 20, 2015 If the Forge maps don't count, we've got another six maps to see. Willing to bet they'll be remixes. Share this post Link to post

publicbussystem Posted September 20, 2015 With the Forge maps counting in the beta, and nothing being said to argue otherwise since then, they will probably count. Best case scenario, only the individual Forge environments will count, which would make them count as a total of 2 maps instead of 4(The Breakout environment counting as 1, and the planet with Orion and Pegasus counting as the other, assuming that there aren't any other Forge environments that we haven't seen) Share this post Link to post
Humpflung Posted September 20, 2015 wall running would suck, wall jumping would be great instead of clamber. running would be a test, wall jumping would work and would bring interesting maps for sure. I've always said this Share this post Link to post

Mr Grim Posted September 20, 2015 running would be a test, wall jumping would work and would bring interesting maps for sure. I've always said this maps would all have these huge open hallways to make use of it, I'm not so sure those kinds of maps would work for halo. Share this post Link to post
Jake Teh Nub Posted September 20, 2015 The H5 maps look too unnatural. I want a map that looks like Beaver Creek or something. 1 Share this post Link to post
EagleBurn Posted September 20, 2015 Lol if 343 included Forge variants in the map count. Not even Bungie went that low. 2 1 Share this post Link to post
TheIcePrincess Posted September 20, 2015 Lol if 343 included Forge variants in the map count. Not even Bungie went that low. You kidding me? Bungie shipped a buttload of maps in Reach on launch, only made in Forge. Blood Gulch, Ascension, The Cage, Sanctuary, Paradiso, etc. 2 1 Share this post Link to post
