Love Ghost's acidy rain. I kept having my barriers/shields go out on me and was trying to figure out what was shooting me in between waves before finally realizing that it was the rain doing it. Awesome sauce.

I also love that it forces you to utalize the buildings more in Ghost.

I have a question. Why don't I have a Krogan Shaman character option or the Asari Huntress? I have Retaliation downloaded, and downloaded the update for XBox.

Thank you Bioware for putting up these fresh new take on our favourite maps. I love the new look of FB Giant and the reactor trap in FB Reactor.

Hi Jos,
Just played Ghost and Giant hazard maps and I have to say job well done! The rain on ghost was extremely cool and lighting on giant was kinda creepy. It's too bad you can't implement a husk/abomination zombie horde mode for either map for Halloween, that would be awesome!
I did want to let you know that I encountered an odd glitch on giant, not sure if it's map specific but I've never had it happen to me before but I joined in wave two and one of the players names weren't visible and I didn't see any timers for the objectives. Also we had a delivery objective and when I picked up the package it didn't appear on my character. The hack computer also didn't appear when that objective wave came up.
In any case keep up the good work!

I give it 2 weeks tops before we see all the maps.

I LOVED the sandstorm hazard I got it by surprise and was really excited!
I think you could create special maps for events only, like Monster Hunter Tri, that have some monster that you can only kill during special week events. This way it gives the feeling that something is uncommon.

Had a few bugs tonight. Twice on Hazard Ghost my 360 froze up on me and I had to reboot. It happened both times on wave 10. I lost all that xp and credit. Still got some of the Challenges credit though. Man was that frustrating. The other thing is both times I played on Hazard Giant my buttons all stopped working. No firing, no powers. I could still move around just fine, but no killing enemies. I had to blow a ammo pack to free up my buttons.

Hope that helps. New maps are awesome!

Halo4 is coming soon. People will already be making a mass exodus for a little while when something new comes out, but if ME3 is buggy and fraught with problems there won't be much incentive to come back.

So.... I love the new hazard set. Mr. Hendriks, whoever remembered to take into account the structures above the far street on Ghost deserves a high five or a pat on the back (preferably both).

Seriously, the rain on Ghost is amazing. I love the idea and how it encourages players to use the interior areas of the map I so rarely see used. I really love the execution of the entire hazard. and while I'm sure I would figure this out on return trips, is the intervals and duration of the down pour random? I sure hope so. The only thing more I could have wanted out of it was to see the enemy take into account the rain, but then I suppose additional AI packages for a single map would have be a bit too much to hope for.

Giant is like, Dagger before it, more atmospheric then an actual hazard. but I must say the map feels much more alive. Although I had to adjust my graphics setting due to the level of darkness, the area's artificial lights and muzzle flashes of the cannons really keep the firebase more then adequately illuminated. While walking around on bronze I actually spotted several things I hadn't about the map before (mainly the large tunnel and the half-cyclical wall that makes up the out rim of the lower area of the map) as well as some of the nice little touches (like the various vents) that really defined the map for me.

FB Ghost is awesome, and you guys should follow as model for any other hazard map you create. It added so much to the gameplay, best map ever. Things like this rain force you to rethink your strategy, which is awesome...

Giant is nice at night, but unless I'm missing something, it actually don't have a hazard, it just have a new visual, which is cool, but isn't adding nothing new to the gameplay, which I thought was the point of the hazards, anyway, it's a nice addition.

How about on Reactor if you won't vent for let's say a minute when the reactor is full it vents by itself contaminating parts of the map like in SP?

No. We tried this, but ended up being unfun.

Unfun to who? 

Sounds fun to me...

I don't know what is so hazardous about Firebase Giant at the moment but Firebase Ghost is something else. Acid rain burning my shields away was not expected at all. Last week's Firebase Dagger sandstorm was very realistic. I served in Iraq and witnessed this type of storm so you could say i am a expert on the subject. At one point I was even caught in one and the situation scared the heck out of me. I couldn't breath, I couldn't see and I was very thankful the Reapers where not lurking around the corner. The map gave me a closed in feeling and it was great. If you are going to try this with Firebase Hydra I suggest you open the flood gates so to speak and flood the lower level of the map with water. This could slow down player and enemy movement in that area. Ever tried to run through waste deep water with the Collectors after you? The reactor trap on Firebase Reactor was great! I loved roasting Cerburus troops in there. I would lure them in there and turn the thing on all the while laughing like a kid who just farted in a full elevator and stepped off onto his floor. Which brings me to Firebase Giant. Where is the hazard? If it is the fact that it's nightime the map was not dark enough. We should be stumbling in the dark with only our weapon mounted flashlight and the occasional lightning flash to light our way. I'm looking forward to Firebases White and Glacier being hazardous. White will have a blizzard to rival Daggers sandstorm i am sure. I don't know what will be hazardous about the Glacier map but i am hoping it will be better than Giant.

[Avenged me]

I don't understand why Giant would be consider a hazard level if it's just set to night with no extra features to it like reactor did.

[MasterRed_ko7]

Awww, too bad they couldn't have the sandstorm on Firebase Dagger affect the enemy as well as the players. But they can only do so much through DLC.

Though it would have been neat if they had the windows closed in the inside of the building and cut the sand from coming in, at least when the wind picks up there. But that's just a little nip-pick because of the sand being in the building.

BTW, I love Firebase Ghost's hazard with the rain. The graphics for the water are beautiful, and I love how the ran actually doesn't go in the buildings! You have NO idea how that bugs me in other games, when I'm under a roof and the rain just clips in through it. XD

When the night comes, they come aswell...

I like the giant, who cares about it not or being hazardious.

In general, I like these both. Awesome hazard maps!

Ok, now i had invisible rain on Ghost, yesterday Banshee and Collector web. Couldn climb ladders, collect ammo, or throw grenades. Seriously, you should fix these prehistoric bugs before adding new annoying stuff.

[tehpuma]

Question teacher! Here here!

The other thread got me thinking, is there a chance that you might dim the lighting on Giant some more? I really do love the idea of making it darker, it just seems it'd set the mood perfectly.

[Agent Zoot]

Changes to Glacier and White are very annoying and pointless, please change it back!

How are we suppose to survive harder level difficultys?!

Here's my idea for a hazard level, at level 10, a Reaper or Harbinger will appear, players must survive 2 minuites or less untill fleet support from orbit arrive.

Could you please let us know if salarian engineer use has dropped dramatically by users with dlc?

This character is designed for camping behind cover and his decoy. I liked this character a lot before and i liked the old firebase white a lot. With the redesigned maps that discourage camping this character seems pointless to me.

Camping was a pretty good way to earn credits reliably. This is much harder now. If camping isnt intended you should replace decoy with a more useful power and increase the amount of credits rewarded per match.

Surely that's the point? Platinum is meant to be incredibly difficult - not something to be done just because you can manage to take cover behind one spot and not move. I have done some FBW games where I have literally fallen asleep while playing because I got bored of just sitting and shooting. Love the new changes to it.

Slightly less thrilled about the change to glacier, but only because when running, it was useful to have that slight bit of cover to shoot people in the corridor. If it's possible to push back the crates a bit, enough to be able to get in cover there, I would love it.

[ka243]

Platinim was already difficult enough. If camping was not intended there are several characters with pointless abilities but the se is the best example. Thats why im curious how much the dlc has plummeted his use into the nether.
He was further nerfed by making melee creatures ignore decoy.

Love the new changes to it.

Well if YOU get board, move out around the map and kill then, most people like to survive, which is basicly what the game is about.
People are in it for the credits.

You don't approve of camping, so what, no one cares.

People like you just moan, moan and moan about camping.
If you was in the army, shooting enemys, are you gonna report to you squad leader that the enemy is camping?

It's war, that's what happens. <_<

[Sudden_Death_98]

I would, but I am a team player. What's the point in me running around if no one else is? I die quickly and it doesn't help the team in anyway. I'm not good enough to solo gold.

I don't say I don't approve of camping - just that i'm glad we now don't have maps where the default assumption is that it will be camping. On Giant (I think) for example, it's possible to do a bit of camping at the top of the stairs. However, you are exposed on the right so you can get hit easily enough. That I approve of - camping but not a place you can just stay indefintley.

As for being in the army - in case you didn't notice, this is a game; not actual war.

@ka243 - that's a fair point. I'd be interested too. I didn't know about melee charachters ignoring the decoy. Some abilities should probably be revisited. Engineer is one class i've never really played so can't comment much on it.
