You know this map was an add on after Robot realized what an uproar the community will get in after their last update.
I personally think there should be 8-9 new maps for an RTS game update. It is still going to be a rip off, but I think I will download this one.
4 well-designed maps is a pretty solid map-pack. Halo Wars maps, to be fair, are a lot more detailed and have a lot more map features than most RTSes.
If the maps are actually good, this is worth it. Let's only yell at them when they actually deserve it.
Agreed 100% ..
C&C Tiberium Wars maps look like their where made in MS Paint, the only true detail is on the Tiberium itself...and that's cause its on every map.
The map quality in both playability and texture/lighting are amazing in Halo Wars...Those flood tendrils, Scarabs cracking ice when they walk, Mirrored layouts without mirrored textures (release), the rooftops on docks...I stare down into that hole on Frozen Valley for like the first minute of the game while my scout gets resources, just cause its so *** impressive.
I completely disagree. I have to admit that most all of the maps are very original, have great attention to detail, and are very not copy-and-paste formats. However, I would much rather have 15 playable 3v3 maps than 4 3v3 maps that are works of art.
Besides, by this point they have got to have pretty impressive map editor to make these things. The objects and terrain in a map editor would keep the same amount of detail and could be placed anywhere. Halo Wars should be pumping out maps like Halo 3 changes playlists. Yeah they would be quite as good, but 4 maps...really!?!
