I don't really like Tombstone and was wondering what you guys thought. I think it's Host Advantage, what do you think?

I don't hate Tombstone. It's one of my favorite maps. The BR start is nesicary on Tombstone, to give a more Hang 'Em High feel (it's as close to the pistol as Halo 2 can get). The only thing that's bad about Tombstone is that there are two overshields on the map and just one overshield on a map is too much.

I don't 'absolutly hate' Tombstone, i thought it was ok, and i guess your right about the two overshields on the map. Especially the overshields on Desolation....just way to much for one map.

RIP Halo 2.

Host and the resulting possession of Sniper wrecks the map. I bet it'd be a blast on LAN though.

So far I've only played it in Team Snipers and it has been a pretty fun map in my opinion. Although an ordinary slayer game might not be as enjoyable.

The fact thats its actually nothing like hang em high

Don't assume anything, because it makes an "ASS-" out of "-U-" and "-ME"

What do you mean by host advantage? Is it because they don't get the effects of latency as much as clients?

RIP Halo 2.

That their Battle Rifle can kill in less shots from a greater range with greater consistency and accuracy. And that the shots register when they're supposed to. Same concept on the Sniper.

Thought so. Well yes then, definitely host advantage. I don't know how many times I've died with only 2 or 3 bursts with the Battle Rifle while a whole clip from mine, all in the head, doesn't even bring their shields down, and in SWAT, someone's running along a catwalk, I shoot them in the head so many times and they don't die! And there is a giant line of blood across the wall. Even if they weren't head shots, that was enough to kill them 2 times over.

Tombstone is just to big of a mess to deal with. I heard that 75% of the maps you play on Team Snipers turn out to be Tombstone. Maybe Bungie has to do something with this?

host is the biggest problem because the map is too large to BR them effectively off host that far. If it was scaled down slightly like on HCE when you could MD6 someone from anywhere, that would drastically improve it. I think they just took the size specifications from HeH and sized them up to H2 standards not even considering the MD6 had a longer range than the BR ever has.

did you ever hear of an auto-cocker?
...Thats what she said.

You missed the most important thing, Camping. It is so easy ot camp at the red base during a snipers game.

Also those stupid blocks scattered at the bottom. theyre so annoying

I like soft, sensual kisses. I like to make love.

Only good for some game types. It would be great for a game of snipes, or a game of Big Team Battle. It is absolutely horrible for SWAT.

There are a lot of hiding spots/open spaces, so if you really don't watch your guard, you will be slaughtered.

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

It's out of portpotion, wow, I spelled that wrong. It just seems much larger, the color's make it look horrible.
