I don't know about anyone else but i think it was a great decision to include Headlong in Matchmaking. Before it was absent, but now it's here!

Headlong has always been a fav of mine, and i never understood why it wasn't in Matchmaking before. The beam which wobbles and sways in the centre of the map i think is brilliant. The chain-guns are placed to perfection, it gives people in vehicles and without an even chance. I like the covenant sniper placed in the perfect place to have a sniper battle with the Human Sniper placing. Anyway, do you think it was a good move?

Headlong has always been in MM, it just had very small weight, so you rarely saw it. Headlong is one of my fav maps as well. Every map should be in MM (where appropriate due to player size and game variant) except for Backwash because of the emulating problems. But if they ever fix Backwash, it should be included in MM as well.

It used to be in Snipers with what seemed like a 90% weighting...

It's in BTB and Snipers.


Headlong is NOT good for TS if that's what you seriously think is good. A sniper fight? That's funny. Not only does one team get a sniper years before the other, what it turns out into a sniper fight then the winning sniper's team wins the game. Everyone rushes the other sniper then they win cause now they have two snipers and easy rockets.


And what? You wanna make it smg start too? So it's an even easier win? Headlong sucks for almost everything. It's too big off a map and it's oddly shaped. And how the hell is gunturrets supposed to make it even? there's only 3. One in the bottom to clear out the bottom of the map, which if you're playing against people who don't use guests, won't go to. One to cover the broken bridge and tele exit, (ohh wow awesome, you get to shoot guys who get there by going behind you, awesome. ) And what? the last one can just see the broken bridge and see a lil bit of the base. WTF is that gonna do? Not only is it a host dependant turret, people an just walk away. Headlong cannot be used for TS, TSK, DT, THC, nothing at all.

BTB and snipers are loosely held as it is anyways.
