I absolutely love that map and no one ever plays it I think bungie should throw it back into matchmaking...even if it was just for snipers cuz that was the best on backwash.

As far as I could tell, the reason it was removed from Halo 2 Matchmaking was because of the fog rolling in and out of the map; when the fog is in, your frame rate suffers a drop. Such is the challenge of emulation. I have no idea if this was ever fixed or patched, or even if it can be. I believe this problem only occurs when playing on Xbox 360 consoles, but I may be wrong.

Correct. Actually, it's the mix of both the fog and the Active Camo that mess with the emulator, causing a shimmering effect. It is only a 360 problem as far as I know, because I've never had problems with it running on an Original Xbox.

No matter what, it's always fun. If you win. So try harder random.

Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

It was removed because of a mixture of a high majority of people complaining and the 360 Emulator frame rate problem.

If they would put it back in they would be flooded with complaints like the others said, its an OK map, Great for zombies and other custom games.

I think the claim was exaggerated, I NEVER had that problem on my 360. Maybe for 1 second at the start of the match, bu not enough to effect gameplay. I thought it was fun.
