: Second, I don't like how they decided to go all industrial with the visuals.
: I would have preferred a more pedestrian, suburban city park type of

: We already have too many dingy industrial environments in Halo and in FPSs
: in general. I'd like to see something brighter, more colorful, and more
: visually distinctive. At least the map looks easy to navigate through,
: something I can't say about the maps 343I made themselves.

That DID stick out to me during the commentary. A city park would be a complete change of pace. The only map I can think of now as far as a city park feel would be Ivory Tower - and that's indoors. Then again, I'm not as interested in multiplayer map beauty as much as I am in gameplay. ;)
