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 #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...

***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've been here longer than it says. I've been on the forums since about 8/06.

Walshy dropped from final boss? What dungeon? We killed the final boss in Karazhan but no Walshy dropped...just the bow and the T4 helm.

Zanzibar.

I absolutly HATE this map.

Except for CTF.

Be more careful when choosing your gamertag than I was....

Profiles- Digorno/Digorno Supreme.

Howdy!

i used to hate alot of maps but i've gotten used to most of them by now, except for beaver creek, i can't snipe there for some reason, theres not enough standing cover if you are under attack, both plasma pistols and brs are in easy access and none of my teammates ever go for them and the enemies entire team has them in no time, and speaking of teammates never working with me here, at this map one of them always quits out, leaves good weapons lying around, or goes way minus in kills and deaths. it just doesnt seem to work for me.

I love all the maps except Beaver Creek and Burial Mounds, which i hate with a passion.
Beaver Creek is too repetetive and Burial Mounds is just bad.

Definitely use to be Backwash, but then they realized it was the worst map ever made for any game ever. Now that Backwash is out, it's Warlock. Fo sho.

I hate Gemini with a vengence. Rumble Pit/Training there SUCK!

It upsetting to hear that you guys want Warlock and Elongation off of matchmaking...THEY ARE ORIGINAL HALO 1 MAPS...you people are nuts

Who the -blam!- cares. Some people on here -blam!- -blam!-e to Halo 1. They bastardized these maps... Warlock is awful (2nd worst map in the game next to Backwash), Elongation is mediocre and Coagulation is bad. They were all good maps in Halo 1.

i like every map on halo 2 and i don't think any of them should be removed from MM. most of the reasons people gave for wanting a map removed are weapons related...well how about this: spawn with random weapons in match making. that way no one can complain about people hording snipers and rockets since you can spawn with them. i know there's currently no random weapons on matchmaking but i play with them all the time at lan parties and its tons of fun...whatever you get is just the luck of the draw and sometimes you can pull off some really awesome kills when you spawn with crappy weapons (like PRing and then beating down the guy who's using a rocket launcher). this eliminates all advantages gained on maps by controlling the best weapons and makes crazy comebacks possible (it also makes for some rediculously intense games). however, it works best on FFA games because even when you don't spawn with good weapons you can get the guys with the swords and rockets while they're distracted by the 6 other people

How can you complain about any of the maps? If you're good enough you can beat anything. I can't tell you how many times I've cleared the top room in Ivory Tower, or how many times a simple killtac on Warlock has changed the odds of my team winning, or how many times I've picked off a camper on Beaver Creek, or any other level. Bottom line is, if you hate a level because you think that someone 'cheats' to win on that level often. Then play that level all the time and find a way around those things. Training is the key here kids. Training.


Dude, you're acting like you're the best player out there. You're not. It's hard to win when you're playing really good players, no matter how skilled your team is. You wouldn't be saying the same thing if you were playing level 40s (legit) all day... instead, you play against 20s (yes, I saw your ranks) so of course everything is easier.

Relic

I always imagined that Relic was just Bungie giving me the middle finger. Seriously. It's huge, weapons are spread apart, and the warthog will always explode, not to mention it's spawning pointing into the ocean, which means that if someone gets into it and starts honking, you know if you get in that thing, it's going in the ocean. Can't stop it. It's just going to happen.

I HATE Relic

Elongation is the worst. And Beaver Creek at higher skill levels usually means that whoever has the BR is gonna have the most kills. I know at least that's how I roll. I've got my routine down now. Red Base: Spawn, grab BR, turn left, pick up stickies, go thru tele, and start chaos, kill guy going around corner or goin for snipes. Blue Base: Spawn, grab BR, turn left, pick up stickies, grab snipes, snipe rocket, jump on base, and own sum noobies. Not to mention that Gemini sucks BIG HAIRY BALLS. It's worse than Backwash, AND THAT'S SAYIN ALOT!

Take a look at his wins and games played. You can tell this isn't his main account by that, and the fact that he's in a filming clan. So before you start trying to -blam!-face someone make sure you're sure they're not good you butt-blam!- sack of -blam!-.

Id have to say none of the above.
The one map Id like to see in matchmaking is the swamp level, id love to see that in matchmaking it gets no credit from people because its not even used on live!Why make a map and not use it on MM?

On Elongation, the spawn point at the BR spawn should be moved a couple feet inside the hallway. Also the spawn point at about the flag spawn should be moved just next to the stack of boxes where it comes in like a v, or atleast not out in the open where you can be seen from across the map right away. It makes rumble swat ridiculous on that map. It's like, who can get the most spawn kills.? Anyway, I think that would help a bit.

Beaver Creek is BY FAR the worst Halo 2 map there is. Rather play on Backwash.

elongation is so boring beacause it comes up way to much and whoever has noob always wins

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

warlock is nothing but spawn -blam!- and kill steal. worthless. i dont like that jungle foggy one either.
