warlock is by far the worst map. especiallly with smg starts. once one team gets control of the BR's, it's over. Bungie, i love your game but warlock needs to be reduced in matchmaking!


It's also too hard to differentiate between Yellow and Green, and the Red 'base' is way too bright compared to the Blue base.

Bungie better be reading this.... cuz your hearing this from a guy whos levels are in the high 30's and low 40's..... REMOVE ELONGATION FROM ALL RANKED PLAYLISTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DOUBLE TEAM... worst map I have ever played on by far... it's not fun winning or losing on that map... in fact now that I think about it that map is either...

A) A nade fest because of all the walls and corners.
B) A noob combo fest because thats really the only GOOD weapon to use on that map.
C) A shotgun/brute shot fest, because those are the -blaming- weapons that everybody uses to camp with...


Nobady likes this map.... look at the polls...

And P.S., with the new 360 maps coming out... it'd be wise for Bungie to reduce the number of maps used in TS.... there is already 20+ maps, and with the addition of the new ones... there are way to many possibilities for gametypes... (cough.... remove Elongation, Beaver Creek, and Warlock.)


I agree totally!

***EDIT #1***
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...

Silly.

Just because it is the least liked doesn't mean it is disliked. Just as I find the Spectre the worst vehicle, I still find it very fun to use.

The user base of the forums is a very biased sample. And those from this sample who vote in the poll will be even more biased. Using a poll for a serious decision would be foolish.

Ascension needs to go in snipers and team slayer

Warlock needs to go, big time, absolutely terrible level.

Dude... over 580 people have posted in this thread... and at least 200 of them have clearly stated that they DO NOT like Elongation. Case closed...

Elongation is pretty bad though. It's mighty fast for CTF which is a good thing and there are ways to get by, but for Slayer, it's the worst you could ever do. Slayer in Elongation is the worst.

But I hate Relic more. The whole sniper camp out is the worst thing. There are many, many, many ways to camp and kill and it's dreadful. But, that's just me. I hate Backwash the most but I don't ever have to deal with that map. xD

Relic. It's not bad, but I just never win when I'm on that map. I always get flanked and surrounded by everyone all the time. It sucks.

Elongation and Turf.


Too much weapon whoring on turf, and elongation every host shotguns' dream, plus the added benefit of having 2 br and plasma pistol spawns, and PP+BR+close quarters= cheap. same goes with turf.

I ain't worried

What's the worst map in Matchmaking? A map that makes you groan and say, "Aw #$%@, not this crap again!"

For me, it's a split between Terminal, Elongation, and Beaver Creek. In Terminal, there are WAY too many places to camp when you have a lead (ie. an entire team hiding in the "secret room" atop the garage). Also, there is basically NO skill whatsoever involved in playing Elongation = whoever has host shotgun/noob combo wins. Beaver Creek is possibly the most weapon-dominated map = if you don't have noob combo, rockets, and snipers, you might as well just quit out since most of the time you spawn in bases with no access to weapons while people camp on high ground.

Well? Hurry up and post your replies!

***EDIT #3***
Wow, after 2000 votes and 500 replies, 37% have voted for Elongation... but there seems to be a new upswing in hatred towards Warlock and Lockout. I'm also surprised that Turf is rated so low... it's a huge -blam!- when the other team gets on top of the map with the weapons/ball or whores the noob combo constantly.


I hate Elongation in Matchmaking!!! That's a good point about Turf though. I hate getting a superbouncing sniper on Turf!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Interesting,,, i have been playing halo 2 for quite some time now and i havent found the sword in warlock yet,,, maybe it spawns outside the map,, UR A NUB, shut up ur makin me dumb reading your replies.

Elongation was a nice idea but I believe the execution was flawed. The biggest problems for me are the terrible spawns and constantly moving crates. Although they do add a certain dynamic to the game they do present many problems in terms of map balance.

However, with that said my vote has to go to Burial Mounds. Along with the sniper dominance the terrain is poorly designed, ugly and uninspiring to say the least.

I agree with what was said earlier in this thread in regards to issues people have with certain maps. The weapon settings and gametypes do make the map in many situations.

Example: Relic is a terrible map for any 4v4 gametype aside from team snipers. It's just way too big and the matches just get boring very quickly. However, the map functions just fine in BIG TEAM gametypes and I don't understand why this map doesn't get weighted more in both BTS and BTB.

Mini rant: It amazes me how many people complain about power weapon whoring on certain maps and the noob combo, etc. Yet when other players suggest BR start in order to alleviate many of these obvious gameplay flaws many of these same people are against it. It simply boggles the mind.
