Str8 executes 3 perfect caps. Blocks needler spawn nades mauler spawn stands on base spawn forces them to spawn courtyard gets them 4 down and then rushes it through empty hall on the other side of the map. So pretty.

amp will be taken out in v6 anyways

expect lockdown or triumph

lockdown is fantastic. That was one of those forgehub levels.
I think the other one I really liked was Hype, but I could be wrong about that one.

@Differentlevel was actually my favorite, but it didn't have a MLG variant at the time of download. Really badass layout though.

It really is pretty. Nothing better than executing a good setup to perfection. It just flows so nicely.

yup, hype is awesome. really fun. differentlevel looked cool but i never got to play a real game on it. another one i've been liking alot is zenith

mlg's forge forum is a good place to find really good foundry maps, and the people who post on it aren't as inflammatory as everybody else on the forums
 
Maps that you need to download and play on (of the balanced and more arena-style type):

MLG - Impact : seriously whoa

Hype : Less amped than amped.

Lockdown : my least favorite of the bunch. Not to say its lacking though.

Triumph : Actually uses the whole floor space of foundry very well.

@DifferentLevel : My personal favorite. Radars-off an absolute must. Hold the top.
NO PHOTO AVAILABLE :( - seriously download it though.

Another series to be decided on random town, Amplified. Stupid.
Seriously right!
Amped is such a poor TS map. I'm suprised MLG will remove blackout for spawn issues, but pretend that Amped isn't the worst offender of them all.

something about watching MLG halo right after the Olympics ended... makes it feel so... pathetic. (not that they aren't skilled)

I can't see the appeal of watching someone else play video games or, even worse, idolize them like proper athletes. It's just so, so silly.

Yea but to be honest I bet once upon a time someone said that about EVERY SINGLE SPORT AND FIELD OF PRACTICE THAT EVER EXISTED. :D

People have played games that have rules to them since the dawn of man, people have always idolized the people who are innovators and have more skills. Because Halo is electronic makes it any less awesome?

Yes its not athletic, either is chess.

Not to mention the eye hand coordination needed to play at that level is incredible and IS athletic in a sense...but I won't get into that.

Real sports require a lot of physical exertion. That puts a pretty fine line between "every single sport and field of practice that ever existed" and Halo.

Also, Halo shouldn't really be compared to chess. I mean, Jesus.

Y cant you compare halo and chess. Both are games based on a structure of rules. Chess is a game from a long time ago Halo is newer.

Its like saying don't compare monkeys and apes to humans.

Its like the evolution of gaming.

Yeah, we should probably just agree to disagree. I don't think chess would be comparable, at all, to any FPS so I don't think we'll be convincing each other any time soon.

I'm with rance. Let's not make chess comparisons.

Right. Halo is way better than chess. You can't even out br noobs and stick a triple in chess.

i find it just as ridiculous to idolize somebody for physical prowess as it is to worship somebody who has what it takes to play halo at this level.

and why not make chess comparisons? maybe the amount of thinking that goes into an fps isn't as much as in something like chess, but the speed at which you have to make decisions while trying to communicate with your teammates and stay on the same page with them and aiming very precisely is pretty taxing. there's certainly something there to appreciate; maybe not quite as much as chess, but a game doesn't have to match a game that's been played for centuries to be considered a sport.

I think I just played against one of you GAF dudes. Louis Wu or some such.

Lost by one flag cap. =(

Pages and pages later (I blame the weekend), and Bungie.net is busted, but I think you're talking about that Ghost Town game.

That stop (pretty much ON the plant spot) was pretty clutch. :D (I'm pretty sure every member of our team got in on it.) Fun game!

I watched (still watching, actually) a bunch of MLG Toronto today, between house chores... so much drama. Great fun, though. :lol :lol
