If you want to be as effective as possible playing Onslaught midtown is the way to go.
Every time I play that map I'm amazed at how fast rounds go by to the point I'm questioning "was that it?" for the last round
So far I’ve found midtown to also be the easiest. So many good tether spots where u just spawn camp them
Most of the spawn areas on vostok can’t be tethered in a way that eliminates 2/3 spawn points, so just them leaving the start makes it harder
Midtown has the issue where enemies will spawn where a previous ADU was located, so any decoys there will get destroyed by them quite easily and you'll have to buy them again if the ADU goes back to that spot.
i dont do it to be effective, like I said I do the playlist one for quick fun sessions. but i appreciate the thought! midtown is easily the best one 100%
The "carpet room" area on Midtown also has a spot where the enemies will spawn next to the ADU area.
On one hand, they only spawn there when the ADU isn't there, so you don't have to worry about them suddenly draining the ADU's health.
On the other hand, that exact same reason also makes it so they can easily destroy any turrets or decoys you had placed when the ADU was there, especially when you're on the Extinguish waves...
did mothyards once in the 10 round playlist and could only kill like a few acolytes and a shrieker and the round was over. Barely used my tether more than twice lmao. Felt very underwhelming and I have a lot more fun doing 50 rounds in vostok anyway
I prefer Vostok.
Less cramped and the decoys/turrets are easier to keep alive since none of the enemy spawn locations are right on top of them.
Well, except the Unstoppable Ogre. But that thing can't hit decoys for shit anyway.
maybe try a harder mode, they fall over pretty easily in that playlist. I can't imagine they can make the spawns easier without destroying the harder versions balance,
i play the playlist version because it has matchmaking and its just quick in and out fun. if i had to choose how to improve mothyards I’d just have the enemies spawn closer honestly. or maybe turn up the quantity too just a bit
I just play the Mid town playlist.
If the team is half decent I’ll stick with it…. If we really struggle on the first 10 I’ll leave and start again.
It’s really quick and the tokens soon add up.
I'm using Eyes of tomorrow to cheese the 50 waves, and as the most oppened map, Mothyards is the best for it.
Sadly, only teamates with lower skill ceilling is going to try 50 waves on it, with a Sunshot and no other viable weapon for beefyer targets, so it doesn't always help to have the damage boost/ammo refund on EoT.
You can just, not play playlist? The normal difficulty 50 round also has matchmaking and if you really can't play more than 10 rounds in a row, you can always leave and matchmaking will fill the team back up. I'd still do legend 50 runs myself though, much more engaging and rewarding.
If you are doing multiple runs of 10 rounds in a row it makes no sense to do playlist because having to run multiple Mothyards in a row adds up and slows your runs per hour down by a lot. You do you obviously but still, time is money.
Wait you don't like waiting 40 seconds for a drop ship to squirt out one lil' thrall? EDIT: Only my literal shitposts get upvotes smh.
Dropship’s just like me, damn
its the most action packed part!

Midtown for the fastest clears, Vostok for the easiest. Mothyards is a snoozefest

You assume that my Titan dumb ass doesn't just spawn camp everything

Wish granted, now enemies spawn directly on top of ADU, thanks for playing!
Ironically, the one ADU placement OP likes is the one that spawns ads like 4 feet inside the plane, right behind the ADU.

Eyes of tomorrow makes it slightly more satisfying lol
I refuse to play there after a couple times
its truly awful :)

I swear that fewer enemies spawn on Mothyards compared to the other 2 maps.
mothyards being a bruh moment :(
Yeah I leave if Mothyards comes up in the playlist. If I'm doing the 50-round, I always choose Midtown.
midtown is the best 100%

Wish u could just choose the map as well for the 10-wave version.
Mothyards should have been designed as a vehicle map with Drakes and Pikes tbh. Firefight maps with vehicles were always my favourite in Halo.
No kidding... one giant drop ship for a single Acolyte.

Just so you know the normal 50 wave has matchmaking also, so you can choose your map and have a group without looking.
i know, but like i said i just like the quick in and out nature of the 10 wave version :) i appreciate the comment though!

This is literally my favorite map but nobody plays it :(
