He forgot to add a letter. Maybe typing fast? By the looks of his mistake, it seems it was a common mistake and he knows how to spell Desolation. Maybe you on the other hand shouldn't base the legitimacy of one's opinion by the way they spell on an internet forum. For all you know he may be a doctor with a PHD who made a common mistake.


Are you sure I'm basing the validity of his argument merely by his spelling? I'm not that shallow. I mean, it doesn't take a "doctor with a PHD" to see how lame the "point" of this is. All he said was (verbatim) "The two new maps suck ass.". No reasons why, no facts to back it up, no validity at all, just a bland, pointless argument. Just pointless whining.

I absolutely agree. I honestly wold rather put in my H1 disk and go play on the actual map.t. I get a tad bit more of an H1 so than others.(Only because the maps have a similar designs)

You didn't say that though. What else was I to believe?


I kind of like the idea of, I don't know, finding your own reasons as to why someone finds a lack of validity in another's comment. Say, the fact that they're only comment was "The two new maps suck ass".

While I'm still waiting to hear the reasons why he hates the maps, I'll just go ahead and disagree and give a simple reason that I love them.

One, the detail is nice and the color gives a nice feel. They're wide open enough to be able to plan a route but provide enough CQB environs to keep you jumping.

At first it tombstone looks to be a sniper's paradise until you have to realize that the weapons seem to respawn fairly quickly and you would have to stay still to get a good kill rate going.

I like the run and gun feel of both maps. Slaughterhouses. It doesn't really matter where you respawn at, start moving and don't look around too much and you might just make it.

The reason it seems one team always has the high ground is probably because they made an effective first effort out of the gate and are providing good teamwork and coverfire to keep it.

Now, if you would. Please provide detailed reasons why you dislike the maps instead of having an unmedicated rant. It doesn't help your cause and it turns the thread into what it has turned into, a grammar critic festival with everybody concentrating on how things are said instead of what has been said.

Edited since I didn't realize that the approved term for WW2 German nationalist movement was considered an expletive in it's use to explain an oversensitivity to grammar mistakes.It instead put the word "blam!" in it's place and frankly I find that annoying.

They would have to add back fall damage, remove lunging, have an Assault Rifle or Pistol as a starting weapon for me to feel like I'm playing Halo:CE. Or at least have a better weapon set and a less ugly map layout that looks like a retarded Zanzibar mixed with Burial Mounds.

Well, I didn't say they magically turn Halo 2 into Halo 1. I just said they have more of a Halo 1 "feel" to them than other Halo 2 maps.

But it's pretty clear that you will accept nothing less than Halo 1 itself, so I suggest you go put the Halo 1 disk in your xbox and leave this thread alone because you really don't have anything to add.

The new levels are great. On Tombstone I can kill anyone from the lower levels or high above, maybe you just need to step your game up. Sorry but it's my opinion.
I really don't know why you dislike them. In the original "Hang'Em High" you could drop anyone form any level with the pistol. The BR is no different. To be honest for once your not the majoirty, majority of people like them, sucks for you.

Dont be an -blam!- I was just stating my opinion to see who would agree.
Opinions aren't good to share unless you back them up. Why do they suck?

I think you just want attention or something. Go die in a fire.

Why should he go die in a fire then? Back it up.

  • 05.11.2007 3:47 AM PDT

I have to admit i'm not look ing forward to playing on derelict it doesnt appeal to me, the original was i think a bit better for taking cover e.c.t.

But tombstone will be great as a ctf map unsure about anything else though...............

  • 05.11.2007 3:55 AM PDT

remember if you are mad at a noob and screaming into your mike in rage then you are just as noobish as the dumbass noob is.

if u agree with this great statement of wisdom post it on your sig.

I must agree with the author of this post. Tombstone and Desolation have been geometrically altered and their playability lowered. It's in my opinion that these maps are simply incomplete. They were created and produced by Certain Affinity, a company unrelated to Bungie. I also believe that in its development, amature decisions in layout were taken. Short cuts were also taken in development (death barriers instead of typical invs. walls).
As this is just my opinion, I dont really believe that in Tombstone the layout of bases (and the levels of accessability) were even blanced correctly from the original Hang Em' High. Anyways, that's my two cents, and I was basically unimpressed.

Okay, do this: Go into your bathroom, come back out, stab yurself in the arm w/ a knife (three times) and then get a life!

  • 05.11.2007 7:06 AM PDT

honestly I kinda agree with him. All I really play is snipers and swat anymore (and customs) playing snipers on tombstone is alright I guess but the spawns are messed up I countlessly got spawned in front of the opposite team and got killed and meleed in the back when I just spawned. Tombstone seams to be coming up every time I play. Desolation on swat is Stupid for its own reasons the spawn kills are unreal.

  • 05.11.2007 1:43 PM PDT

Legend....................(wait for it)..........ary.

dunno bout you guys, but i love the new maps. i'm gettin like 20 kills per game on each of these w/ the b.r. starts. both are really good maps to showcase and improve your b.r. skills. if you hate them because you don't do well, then there might be the reason. only problem i have with them is learning where the weapons are at.

Tombstone 2 Tumbs WAY up Especially for snipes. Desolation is kind of in between, Its good for swat and CTF but for slayer it gets pretty annoying.
