Ivory Tower, because nearly 9/10 games one team gains control of the upper floor with rockets, sword, and sniper and camps.

***EDIT***
I think it's clear that Elongation needs to be removed from Matchmaking. I hope Bungie is reading this!!

***EDIT 2***
Bungie should have the users officially vote on whether Elongation should be removed/changed, especially since over 1/3 people despise that horrendous map...


why... just because people hate the map doesnt mean anything.... if ALL OF xbl hated it... and by the poll obviously not, then it would be something that bungie should MAYBE think about. but i doubt they would take it out. and why should elongation be removed? its a fair map. equal weapons on both sides. theres no camo or oversheild. the better team wins.... unless theres like a noob combo person that outdoes the other noob combo then sure, you could complain. but its not for 4 people, or 1 for that matter to kill a noob combo. so no. elongation shouldnt be removed let alone being questioned about being removed. i highly doubt elongation will be removed from matchmaking... but backwash was removed , that was because it had problems with the 360. if i am wrong about any of this, may someone from bungie please correct me.

oh and just because your BAD AT THE MAP, doesnt mean it should be taken out of matchmaking.


I didn't bother reading your post since you don't know how to properly use grammar.



its the internet you idiot, grammar doesnt mean anything


That was perhaps the most idiotic statement ever... who the hell cares if it's the internet? Grammar is grammar, and by proving that you know how to use it, your point can be taken much more profoundly (eg. mine compared to yours) rather than being too lazy or stupid or both to properly utilize the skills you possess.


how does grammar prove a point, think about it. if i was talking to you face to face, would grammar matter? no. thats what the internet pretty much is. your talking face to face to someone by typing. thats what message boards and instant messagers are used for. now if you werent such a little -blam!- who was so picky about grammar and actually read my statement, then you would have a different response. get over yourself.


Oh yeah, Bungie look at this guy's stats. He brags about them in his signature, yet he CHEATED to get there! His gamertag is SomeXboxgamer
Let it be known that he's a huge cheater who bridges people out CONTINUOUSLY and brags about it in his signature.

These are just a few of his cheated games (notice how he usually lags a member of the other team out - i.e. they have 0-0-0 or 0-0-1, etc:

Only a 25 in Team Skirmish and he cheats:

More Team Snipers cheating (list):

Ooh! Nice TEAM STANDBYING and bridging people out to get your 41 in Team Slayer! (Too many cheated games, so here's 2 lists)

Yup, those are some nice stats there!

REAL legit, buddy.

If you want to see some REAL, LEGIT skill, take a look at mine. I'll pay anyone if they find cheated games on here.

midship is team work,but when you get a team of americans on your side they sux,for example,red team 20...blue team 19,i got the most kills,but i accidently shot my team mate with a carbine,in cross fire,and it was like 2 shots,so i dont betray him,and he gets killed from the enemy,i get booted,and thats every freakin game,


may i ask why you have to say americans? its true that more americans play than any other country but there is no need to be like that

I love how all the babies vote for the only map that has no power weapons on it.


There's something called noob combo and host shotgun in close quarters...

LOCKOUT is The Ultimate Worst Map in matchmaking. It isn't exactly sniper or BR friendly. All people do on the map is throw grenades regardless if there is a possibility that they'll hit their own teamates or not. I know Lockout is one of the most popular maps for custom games but that is because whoever has host will own with killtaculars from a single grenade. Everyone that joins a custom game on Lockout that DOESN'T have grenades either complains through the whole game of leaves.

IF YOU DON'T BELEIVE ME......DON'T SAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU TRY IT. START A CUSTOM GAME ON LOCKOUT WITHOUT GRENADES. EVERYONE WILL COMPLAIN THAT THEY CAN'T GET KILLS OR LEAVE. TRY IT......I DARE YOU!

Umm... it's actually BETTER with no grenades during FFA. Team Slayer, maybe, but I've never tried it.

And I've probably played over 300 games on Lockout, and I've NEVER seen anyone, regardless whether or not they have host, get a killtacular with one grenade, or 10 for that matter.

I never liked backwash and I am glad it is gone. In H3 I hope they include a feedback option for maps just like for players. The map with the most (or a certain # of) votes gets booted from the playlist or set to a lower level in the mix

I agree... it's plausible...

yea elongation is probably the shttest map ever invented. I would prefer backwash any day to that heap of -blam!-. It is so random, the weapon spawns are all in terrible places and is in affect a dual wielders dream. Which encourages 1 kill then die, 1 kill die. No skill involved just how quickly you can run to the weapons. Then in 2v2 flag is stupid because you have to kill them twice because wen you kill them attacking the base they spawn in your base as you grab the flag. Pure genius how the hell its stayed in MM for so long i have no idea.

Also i think ive played to death lockout and its still a decent map. But i would never say its my favourite, midship is probably the best used to love headlong though!!

Headlong should be used more often, and not just in BTB...

I Hate Randoms , I Hate Team Splits.

elongation is a halo 1 map... i like the halo 1 elongation better... that's just my opinion


Yeah, exactly!! WTF Bungie, way to blow it by remaking this POS garbage monstrosity of a map!

Instead of revamping Hang 'Em High or Prisoner, they work on this crap that's not even fun. Especially how they intentionally put in the noob combo after everyone already hated it, so it's not like the first set of maps where they had no idea it would be such a problem.

  • 01.03.2007 10:38 PM PDT

I vote Warlock, that map is way too small, and way too many BR's, once one team gets control its pretty much over.

my vote goes for warlock and or beaver creek

reasons for beaver creek: beaver creek has lots of ad points like the fact that if a rocket guy is sitting on the bridge over the water you can pretty much say well screw it for the sniper. he just sees u running up the steps and B00M cyaz and plasma pistol and battle rifle together = @#$% this... kill peopl wayto fast and pistols spawn way to soon.
_____________________________________________________________ _______________

reasons for warlock: warlock....... not much to say about this map... it plain and simple..... big circle loads of br's and shottys so whoever gets host wins. grenades useless unless your enemy is in the small room under the center or camping where capture the flag respon is. not much to do here except with br's. EVERYONE IGNORES CEVENANT WEAPONS ON THIS MAP! almost noone i have ever seen on this map has used a covenant wep.

also it is so small that team slayer games last 3 minutes. not worth the time.
and whoever voted lockout and said grenades are -blam!- on it u kill to many people. well last i checked on halo 2 YOUR SUPPOSED TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!!

i agree with quin and the guy above him soz i cant give credit cuz i can't see ur name atm but bungie really guys i coul'd've created a better map than blood gultch all over again. who wants to play a map that they allready know and memorized and have to study it again for a brief moment t realize its almost the same thing! either way halo 3 needs to be good or noone will but this @@@@
