Who else thinks tombstone for team snipers is -blam!-....................

Its very unbalanced with crappy spawns and the big open space in the middle of both bases........( sniper haven if you unluckily spawn there ).
Its quite a large map which at times requires double zooming to snipe people. Ive never had to double zoom on other large maps before, yet with tombstone that happens a lot more. why ??..........its not as big as headlong and relic, yet double zooming is rare on them maps....??

It might just be me and the fact the map doesn't suit my style of play for team snipers, IDK. With tombstone in sniper games you find a lot of people camping in each base, which to me is not fun at all.......and because of this, you have to double zoom more to get a kill as the distance between each base is too far for the first zoom..........

Does anyone else share my problems or have anymore problems with tomstone in team snipers ??

Its a decent map in other playlists............just NOT team snipers.

who cares ?? i -blam!- ing care thats who..................tombstone is campers paradise in both bases and you have 2 options.

1. stay and camp like the other dicks and therefore need to double zoom to kill from accross the map.
2. Try and play the game and go on the offensive, but you need to cross the middle of the map to get to your objective.....middle of the map = sniper haven.

so thats why i think tombstone is BS for team snipers..............and i do care.

also like i said above, spawns are terrible on this map and need to be looked at. Oh and double zooming to kill actually is a big deal when your at a decent level in team snipers 35 +......as double zooming for that split second is leaving yourself blind against decent opposition.

Send A Friend Request to Schloxictonkey if you need a good teammate and you are good

I think that tombstone is just like every other map. its a map, there are guns and people with guns. some people arent good. some people are. did your 360 disk tray ruin your halo 2 disk?

Caged - X13

Since it's been put in Matchmaking, it's one of my favorite maps for Snipers now.

However, when people that aren't good spawn on the top portion of the map and the people that are good spawn in open land underneath them... The people that are good are at a major disadvantage.

its pretty fun but you only win if your red team cuz they always spawn up top and if your blue you have no chance cuz you spawn in the middle of the field

its safe to say that tombstone is for those sniping campers out there.......its certainly not a map to be aggressive on.

I was talking about Team snipers........care to start at the top and you would see. Tombstone for any other playlist is fine, just team sniping on this map has problems for reasons i state above and many others.

Try this argument in a courtroom and see where you go:

"I don't consider theft a crime because it is easy to accomplish. Don't be hating on me judge just because you don't have the skill to do it!"

If you're good at camping Red Tower, you'll win...

Gamertags: defghik, sneaky beav3r. Send me a FR if you play MLG customs.

Sad but true... Halo 1 > Halo 2>>>Halo 3

I agree, it's a terrible map for Snipers. The spawns are horrible, and you get left out in the open all the time with no chance at all. The team that spawns at red will win 99% of the time, unless they are really bad.

I hate Tombstone on every playlist. The map looks good, but in terms of gameplay it's completely retarded, especially if everyone has medium or long range weapons like BR or sniper, because you end up with one group on either side winging bullets at each other across the map, with everyone who tries to make a run to the other side having their head blown off.
