Desolation and Tombstone are great maps, even better when they were Hang em High and Derelict. After playing on the maps multiple times in Matchmaking and custom games, it just seems that these maps do not fit in with the Halo 2 gameplay. Is this just me or did they fit in and work so much better in Halo CE.

Edit : I find Desolation to be less into Halo 2 than Tombstone.

Vote and post why, I would really appreciate feedback on this subject.

Proud director of Black Plasma Studios. Check us out on Youtube!

I can't really pick any of those choices. The maps are great. Desolation is a better version of Warlock, way better. The death wall is the problem. Why?

I never said the death wall was the problem, but with Halo 2 weapons, spawns, and gameplay the maps fit much better with Halo CE.

No, not at all. They just seem completely wrong to me and I don't have any desire to play them. :\

I agree, yet they come up 3/5 games in matchmaking. I don't want them. The better team doesn't win, the luckier team wins. The team with the better spawns and weapon advantages.

Funny. That actually fits in with halo now that I think about it.

Warlock, Midship, Lockout, Beaver Creek, Ivory Tower, Sanctuary, Burial Mounds, Colossus, Zanzibar, Turf, Gemini, Relic, Terminal. Yup. They fit right in with these other host/spawn decided maps.


Good job Certain Affinity! You made more crap maps! But it's alright, since you had crap to base it off from the beggining anyways. No inspiration, really.

A little harsh, but some maps have -blam!- spawns yet its not so bad because you can duck and hide and you have some chance. On Desolation or Tombstone its all out in the open, which is good if you all spawn with a BR or a long range weapon. Not with a SMG on Desolation while the other team has both BRs' and an Overshield. ( NOT FAIR ).
