Subject: Take tombstone out of TS

Greatest of all time

In team slayer on tombstone, it is nearly impossible to win if you don't have host and sniper. If the host is a decent player at worst he can easily control the map with his BR making it impossible for the other team to do anything. Then theres the sniper, the off host team doesn't stand a chance running for it without dying due to the fact host is most likely shooting at them. Like i said, its all about who has host and using host to control the map requires little skill not worthy of being in MM.

**NOTE** This is not a complaint about being beaten every time on Tombstone, i win a lot of games but have noticed that its all about host controlling the map which is extremely easy to do.

Yes, Tombstone is host dominated. Host is way too far reaching.

One of my Halo 3 montages.

that's a host problem, not a tombstone problem. don't take a perfectly good map because of host control. that happens on every map. it may be worse on tombstone, but we don't need to be taking any more maps out of team slayer, i get enough of the same maps as it is

Well, still seeing as though Bungie can't get dedicated servers they need to take out maps that make host unfair. Other maps are manageable with host BR. Tombstone is next to impossible

yeah, but should we take out every map that people complained about or thought was "unfair"? if we did we wouldn't have any maps left. just quit if you don't like playing on it or try a different technique.

Heres how i see it if you have a good enough team then you dont have to worry about it i mean when me and my friends go in we have no problems host or not even sniper or not its all in how you play and how much experience you have and if you dont like it that much then quit out, not saying thats the best thing to do but if you hate it that much

Kevin's post = breath of fresh air.
Take it from this guy people, he knows what he's talking about.

Second accounts are NOT cheating:

If they had made the Sniper rifle spawn in a different spot and taken out some of the beams that run along the top of the map it would be alot better.

"If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer."

I've beaten so many people who had host on that map.

People spend so much time hating the map, and finding excuses why it "sucks" so much, that, of course, they aren't going to play good on it. If you keep thinking "oh were going to lose because they got host," then yes, you are going to lose. Think positive, and win. Stop complaining, and deal with it.

I do think positive, but that doesn't change the fact the host has a huge advantage on the map.

that is true on everymap. Even on a smaller map shotguns or whatever just work better for host.

You got to be kidding me... tombstone is the $H1TT13$T map for sniping. You get spawn killed like there is no tomorrow and you dont move around the map much. You just stay right at red and blue base. Not to mention that 3 out of 4 games are on that stupid map. If you like it then your lucky cuz it drives me and my friends crazy
