i cannot stand the level tombstone anymore. it is terrible for team snipers and its the only map that ever gets selected in matchmakeing.
if you hate tombstone like me then help me let bungie know so they take it out of slayer and snipes.

you're blamming it way too much.
it's not such a bad map, it's just the gametypes that suck.

imagine rocket territories on tombstone.
mmm. fun.

nice witty title, btw.

The only time I ever play on tombstone is in Team SWAT and the host advantage blows but, it's still a fun time.

The map would be great in other types of matches though. I've never played Juggernaut on it but figure it would be pretty hilarious.

YEAH, PWN THAT FEETUS!

They need to reduce the amount of times it comes up. I played 3 straight sniper matches there after playing 4 straight in Team Swat.

of course its not a bad map. but with host advantage team slayer br is terrible. its like trying to kill someone who has snipe with a smg across map. and its terrible for team snipers because there are to many directions you can be shot from so most of the time its just getting shot in the back right before you can kill some other kid who has no idea where they're being shot from either.

Really the only gametype I've played on tombstone that came out in any way fair was FFA Snipers... I would have expected Team Snipers to be the same, but the thread's author seesm to disagree (and I've yet to play it).

I think the best example I've seen of Tombstone's uneven gameplay I've seen so far was a Crazy King game I played there today. Basically the hill was on top of the tall base, and red team spawned there... the 4 of them just stood up on the tower shooting down at any blue player who poked his head out, not enough to kill him since he could hide again before they put in any hits, but then he couldn't get any closer either. At the same time blue team couldn't do any damage to red since they were too busy hiding from red shots and the reds had the highground making it easier to hide.

Basically what it came down to was any blue player who gets close to the hill gets shot out instantly by the entire enemy team, and any that didn't would just stay pinned down wherever they were.

Tombstone is alright but not great. It appears way to often in halo2 matchmaking and i think thats maybe why people are starting to hate it.

its bad for H2 challenge!i always rank down from that map.

Good, friendly, violent fun.

Rumble Swat and Rumble Slayer are ok on tombstone i guess, but even still, host advantage with a BR seems to downgrade all other players weapons to pea-shooter status.
And what the hell is with the ridiculous amount of ricocheting off of the metal surfaces in snipers? You may aswell just shoot the walls, seeing as the ricochets seem to ping around the entire map!

Shame. It looks good, but just doesn't play so good.

Hate it,
I get spawn raped so many times. The respawns are poorly laid out.

It's not the level in particular that is horrible, its just that it comes up WAY to often. Almost every time you want to play a game it's one of the two new ones. I think they need to change it to be more random. I miss playing on Zanzibar. Pretty much never get to play there anymore.
