They had it and it failed. Use the search engine next time. There are hundreds of other posts on this. You will be locked shortly which makes me happy.

If I remember correctly, it actually turned into "who can spawn kill". I may be wrong because I tend to play team games anyway, but I do remember seeing a few videos showing pros doing the same thing. Especially on Lockout and Warlock......there may have been others, I don't know.

Yea, thats usually what it turns into... the one who wins is the one who knows the map the best and knows where the spawns are. The one who gets the first kill will have better weapons then the spawn weapons, so as soon as the other person spawns it will most likely be an easy kill for the person who just killed him.

Yes but they were already a Head to Head matchmaking but Bungie took it out.

I love playing one on one. I can't think of anything more exciting than camping in a corner for 10 mins waiting to see if the other guy will walk by...so I can totally 'pown' him with my sword cuz I'm so 1337 !! And if he looks like he's going to get lucky an kill me then there's always teh standby button!

Can't think why they removed it.

First kill, camp.

Rinse and repeat.

That sound like fun to you?

  • 08.20.2007 6:36 PM PDT

I agree with the above saying no

I don't personally like head to head matches. And apparently a lot of the Halo 2 community agrees with me, otherwise Bungie wouldn't have taken Head to Head out of matchmaking about a year or so ago.

It wasn't really about spawn camping, it was more about host. Having host in a 1v1 gives you a great advantage.

I think I would rather be rear ended by a gorilla.

I mean bungie took it out because it was so unpopular, I see no reason as to bring it back.
