i just played a game, assult in midship and we were up 2-0 and sudden death hit and didnt count down the bomb was on the ground and we had it protected.Next we thought hey let them score and itll be over, they did so its 2-1.STILL sudden death does NOT count down we protected the bomb over and over and ended up loosing becuase Sudden Death NEVER counted down!!!!Sudden DEATH PRACTICALLY RUINED HALO2 for me...The WORST IDEA IN HISTORY..I mean at least FIX SuddenDeath makin It Count Down after u drop it no matter what..I KNOw alot of people quitting halo2 becaue the get screwed in Sudden Death and i think i might too. Anyone Else HATE SUDDEN DEATH HELP ME POST!!!!!

I agree, sudden death causes Midship games to go on forfreakingever. I think the sudden death feature should be reworked into something where it goes into sudden death if someone is actually holding the bomb/flag, but as soon as it's dropped for whatever reason, the game ends.

I actually quite like it. It works well, and if you're smart, you can easily avoid losing to sudden death. Go Bungie.

I don't know what y'all are talking about with the sudden death... Whenever it says sudden death, jsut go kill the other team, regardless of what you're supposed to do.. I do, and sudden death seems to end once I slaughter a few of em.. lol

i agree in some regards to what you are saying. the only time that sudden death should be available is on neutral bomb or classic CTF because then the game becomes a race to see who can get to their base and score faster. that makes sense to have sudden death in that situation. However, to have sudden death in a neutral bomb or one flag CTF match is not a good idea. This is because since the defensive team cannot score during sudden death, it is not a fair situation. in those game types, i believe, that the clock should not ever stop running, or only stop running when the bomb/flag is in the offense's hands. this will remove the need for extended time and force the teams to work within their alloted time limits.

my feelings for this game mode are due to the fact that my clan lost a game 1-1 due to sudden death because the other team scored last. that is really a mistake because it was fast flag on lockout, so my team had no chance to score while on defense. in that situation, sudden death should not determine the outcome of the game. the outcome should be based on overall stats for the match or just be a draw. that is a really a major flaw in sudden death.

Sudden Deat, IMO, works well in SOME cases. In CTF it's great, keeps matches very intense. In Assault, however, I'm not liking it so much. It just drags the matches on.

hes right, i played a sudden death game at midship as assault and lost because the game would not stop going into sudden death!!! We were winning the whole game but when sudden death started, our hope was lost and they came back with 3 points!!! The game was on sudden death for 20 minuets!!!! It lasted much longer than the game really should. We did everything we could to start the count down but in 20 minuets the count did not even get to 4 seconds!!!! it stayed on 5 seconds for 20 minuets!!!! SUDDEN DEATH WITH ASSAULT SUX!!!

Yes!!!Me and my friends arent the only ones that HATE Sudden Death..I mean at least fix the problem that it has..Make it to were if you drop the bomb in sudden death then you have 5 seconds NO MATTER WHAT to pick it up...i found that when the enemy is close to the bomb in SD the timer WONT COUNT DOWN!!This makes me MAD because My clan OUTPLAYED ALL the other clans that beat us due to the -blam!- SD rules..

I played a game on midship that lasted about an hour as well in sudden death =/. I dont hate sudden death. I think that sudden death should be a little different though as everyone stated, I like the idea of the flag being dropped and then the timer clocks down. Youl would still get another chance but would have to get to the flag within 5 seconds. If you get the flag at 1 second and drop it its all over. PERIOD. That would be a sudden death of a maximum of 5 flag drops (if you some how got the flag after each second of dropping it).

Another Idea is the clock reaches 0. Then sudden death starts and you only have 30 seconds to get to your base and score no matter what. Flag dropped or undropped.

(When I say flag it can be the bomb or whatever to.

I dont know, I think sudden death is pretty intense, but it carries on to long.

well, although i think sudden death in its current state is rediculus but i disagree it shouldnt be taken away totally. Instead i think it should use much stricter limits

I've only run into it once or twice and I haven't really had an issue with it. I mean, sure it's kind of annoying under certain cirumstances, but completely get rid of it? Eh....

We were playing assualt on Headlong and we were winning 2-1, they brought the bomb into our base but dropped it, THE GAME NEVER STOPED!!! it just went on until they scored! wtf is that all about?? the bomb didnt return and the clock didnt countdown. It ended with them scoring and we lost.

^They must have contested the bomb. If it was dropped right on the score location, they could have easily contested it by standing on the floor right above it(Floor with RL). You have to make sure they don't do that :P

I love sudden death on Midship though. The games are so intense. Playing until one team actually wins is the only way to go. Even when we lost, the 30-60min battles back and forth is so worth it \m/

Dude, if you guys suck bad enough to get scored on while your winning, while sudden death is on, then you shouldn't play Halo2, sudden death is a feature for people who need it, people who can't win correctly unless they have some sneaky way, like sudden death. Its like a noob handicap. If you're winning in a game, it shouldn't be that hard to keep the lead untill the game clock glitch works its way off, unless you suck of course.

If they don't go near the objective, the timer counts down. Learn how to keep people away,

sudden death does suck from what I have seen it is completely random on who gets it and it dosn't always work right. Most of the time it just keeps going untill the team scores.
