There are cruddy maps that nobody like that we all agree that are over used. There are good ones that are under used. For example I think the Map being Backwash is a decent sized map and it's weapon ruled or area ruled. Yet I have checked about 12 of my friends games and I've only seen backwash come up like 7 times in a TEam Slayer BR match. Later I checked some friends of mines older accounts. YOU know like 04, 05, 06, stuff. I saw a lot more Backwash IS there a reason for this? I like the map and I wish it came up more often. So I propose that bungie selects the maps to be in a playlist and rotates them in an oder. Not a random pick out of the ones they have. Just an order. Like RElic first. Then lockout. Then desolation. So maps get evenly played and this is not just for backwash but it's one of the few maps that I miss playing in team slayer. Also about elongation. I get plenty of that in Swat and DT but in team slayer? Not as much as I used to get it. Do you agree with my Ideas? Talk about it converse and begin your bickering and state your opinions. And for you Nonsensical ninnies you better stay out or I'll slap silly! Magnefeek!!!

Why do all of the ideas I post get shuinned down to the bottom of the forums without even being commented on. Please you can even type just a yes or no you don't have to type as much as me just state either yes or no if you like my idea. or type more if you want but my ideas always get disregarded.

I personally wish Elongation would never come up, but that's just me. Backwash wasn't really that bad of a map, I wouldn't mind seeing it sometimes, though as of yet I've never gotten it in any playlist.

That's because there was (and is still I believe) problem with the 360 emulator that would make it freeze when played on 360's, so it was taken out of matchmaking.

the reason why some maps (like Backwash) were taken out of MM or have an immense decrease in MM is because a lot of people were complaining.

I wish beaver creek, elongation, backwash, and burial mounds were never created.

  • 06.26.2007 4:45 PM PDT

the only maps i hate are Elongation and Desolation. Other than that I wish I had more MM at Lockout and yes a wider variety including Backwash.

Do you have any idea what they were complaining about? or does anybody? Also a couple of hours after I made this post I heard from my friend that 360's had registering problems with Backwash. Also for all others who never new. Backwash was a team Slayer BR match map. Along with Elongation but that doesn't happen anymore.

The 360 had framerate problems with Backwash - apparently, the Active Camo made some kind of bad shimmering effect.

The fog from the map messes up the 360's emulator.

I don't know what you are talking about Willis, but Headlong comes up quite often for me in Big Team Battle, but I will have to see how frequent it is in Team Snipers as well. The map is too grand for about the rest of the gametypes.

I actually dislike how Bungie has the two new maps, Desolation and Tombstone, played almost too much. Some of the exact gametype matches and maps come up one after the other.

backwash can only be used if the cloak is turned off because if you get it, it overloads the 360's graphics engine.

I know, otherwise, Backwash is a very tactical map.

Okay, there's just one thing for me to say to this: If you want maps to be brought back, use them! Start a custom game with them! People will get the idea: Oh, hey! This map isn't as bad as so and so said!" But I do agree, there are definitely underused maps.

We would but Backwash tends to glitch, a lot.
