Why is it that Halo for the console doesn't have the variety of maps that the basic version of Halo PC has? The maps for the console with very few exceptions are overly simple and boring, just run and gunners. The maps in Halo PC are pretty expansive and have great locations and views. Nice stuff. Now I'm pissed I didn't get a copy sooner.

Well, I don't know about you, but I never managed to scrape together 16 people for a lan party. I think the best my friends and I ever did was 5v5 or 5v6, and it wasn't for lack of trying. :D Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that more of the maps are small on xbox because you usually didn't have enough players to fill up BG or SW. On PC, 8v8s are a lot more common, so they added some bigger maps.

And I wouldn't call the original small maps simple or boring at all (other than longest, wizard, and derelict). I've always considered them very well designed.

Yes, because Infinity is surely the jewel of Halo PC...

It's good for some gametypes like sniper ctf and race. Other than that the map is terrible for everything else.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Infinite Tea is good for racing. At least Xbox'ers got Blood Gulch and Sidewinder!

I think Node was reffering to the fact that the Xbox doesn't have CE and the neat maps that go with it. :)

I also downloaded Halo CE and some custom maps (Equinox, The Flood, Mummy 3, Mario, Nuke Em, Burial Mounds, etc) Like em'. I especialy liked The Flood with the AI characters. Unfortunately, my graphics card works really hard and it occasionally gets laggy, other than that good times.

If my PC had a better graphics and sound card I;d probably be able to play them a lot smoother. I think it's time for a better desktop PC.

In my opinion, the custom Burial Mounds for the PC is infintely better than the Halo 2 console version. Forget being locked out of the off map location, with the Banshees everything is wide open.
