Heretic or Zealot. Which is the better Midship remake?

In my opinion Heretic was a great remake of Midship in the Halo 3 Mythic Map pack. It was basically the exact same map with improved graphics and a few minor changes. With the new Reach videos here lately showing off the new Zealot map claiming it's a Midship remake what do you guys think about it? In my opinion it might be a fun map and the colors may be the same as the original Midship, but aside from that it doesn't really look that much the same especially with the new third floor. I'm not hating on the map or anything, I just don't think Bungie should consider it a remake when it really isn't even as close as Heretic.

  • It is rougly based off midship. its not a remake, but unlike alot of people here im not afraid of change at all. i think zealot looks amazing, but i will have to play it first to tell you with 100% assurance.

  • I think Heretic is the best remake they've ever done, this new one isn't a remake.

  • Zealot's not a midship remake. Thus, heretic is more accurate.

  • First off, Zealot isn't even a Heretic/Midship remake. That's just IGNorance. It wasn't really a remake to begin with, more of a "spiritual successor". Additionally, in terms of faithfulness to the original, Heretic is probably the best remake there is. I lament the loss of the swingy table though... [quote]R.I.P. Midship's floating Swingy Table. It will be missed...[/quote]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SlayersBane IGN pissed me off when they called Zealot a midship remake. Now everyone thinks it is, despite Bungie saying themselves that it has nothing to do with Midship, other than the aesthetics. Anyway, Zealot seems like a much more interesting map than Midship. I haven't played on it though, so whether it plays as well or not is not something I can decide.[/quote]

  • Heretic was a faithful remake of the great Midship. Zealot is "like" Midship, according to Chris Carney, the map making genius of Halo games. I'm sure in keeping with the theme of 'proportionate changes', it couldn't be the same size or layout as Midship. It certainly looks inspired by it. I wonder how many threads are going to arise wanting to debate this irrelevant point?

  • Haven't played Zealot, so I will decide what I think is better when I get to play it.

I have hope for this one though, the overall design looks much better, the theme is one that I've always thought looked awesome, and the space gimmick seems at least a bit interesting (not to mention if the gimmick sucks I'm sure we can just forge shut the lifts and the top shield doors).[/quote] Well said dude.

  • Zealot is NOT a Midship remake, merely inspired by Midship. So by default, Heretic is the better remake. But I know I will like Zealot better than either because, personally, Heretic/Midship is WAY too small for any combat bigger than a 1 vs 1. Zealot has 3 levels, as well as a bigger interior in general.

  • Why do people keep saying that Zealot is a Midship remake? If anything at all, it's a spiritual successor. For a start if you've seen the screenshots and videos of Zealot, it's nothing like Midship/Heretic, apart from the Covenant themed environment.

  • Agreed with the above posts, I dont see what made IGN think it was related to midship, besides the colors. And Heretic was a good midship remake.
