I am honestly about fed up with halo 2 and there retarded games. It is as if bungie doesnt know anything about host or weapon advantage. You do not design a game that can eventually end up completely in favor of not only the host but the team that has all the power weapons.

Examples of terrible game design:

Double team - ivory tower, default weapon set

Umm are you kidding me, all you have to do as a team is spawn close enough to the rocket and the game is over. From there, if you are even slightly good at halo you can then get the sword, shotgun, and sniper. Then the other team will spawn with a fricken smg. If that isnt unfair i have know idea what isnt.

Double team - King of the Hill

This game is almost as bad as default weapon sets. Everyone knows how easily this game can be won just by retarded spawns. You of course will virtually every time spawn across the map from the Hill but the other team starts at the very beginning right with it, and every time they die and spawn they are in it. This is complete stupidity on design and they shouldnt have games on ranked matchmaking that can literally be completely unfair.

Double team - team rifles, no sniping:

Sometimes the only advantage you can grab on a really bad host is with the sniper and staying the hell away from him. I dont know how many times i have been killed behind walls by gernades or have to deal with a duel that you have more headshots on him but because you do not have host you will lose every time. Keep the snipe in the fricken game so that way those who dont have host have a oppurtunity to keep in the game.

All in all the incredibly retarded host and spawns that make literally no sense ruin the game and the only way to make up for it is designing fun, fair, and worthy games to be playing on matchmaking that dont cause us to be screaming the f-bomb all the time. Hopefully halo 3 doesnt have the same problems.

post what your worst experiences have been or what you do not like about halo 2 that bungie could possibly correct? It is important from them to hear what thos of us that never get host have to say.

Take it from this guy people, he knows what he's talking about.

Second accounts are NOT cheating:

I guess you dont like DT? I hate anything with an SMG spawn but ill play it. The only games I hate are:

Team fiesta- it seems like I always spawn with a needler and have to hunt for one of the rocket launchers or I will spawn with rockets when there are rockets on the map. I never get a BR or sniper.

Assault on Zanzibar, Burial Mounds....or anywhere else- It takes forever to arm the damn bomb.

Team Rockets- What idiot thought this gametype up? Halo is supposed to be about skill not about some guest shooting a random rocket across the map and getting lucky.

Team Duals Xtra- I dispise this gametype but its still better than rockets. My only -blam!- about this game is that SMG's are garbage and everyone ends up whoring the nades, since they cause extra damage they kill with one explosion.

team rockets needs to be taken away from Halo 2 and not even considered for Halo 3. it is the most bull -blam!- gametype ever.

Team fiesta is fun though, I love the pot luck of what I spawn with :)

I hate anything with rounds. Assault, 1 flag CTF. Flag wars. I like 2 flags or neutral bomb.
I agree with KEVINBROCK. I always got needlers as a starting weapon.

It annoys me in a 4 round game to have to continue play if you cannot lose. 1 Flag CTF on burial mounds or something. you are up 2-0 and the other team still gets a round to get a point and still lose the game... Its annoying.

Team rockets is retarded.

Swat Magnums is useless.

Rumble shotguns is host....

Way to stay on topic.

Proud to be a Halo 3 Academy Instructor.

Pretty much anything on Burial Mounds - it's just an awful map, and trying to do Skirmish types on it always sucks. The most playable is Snipers on Burial Mounds but even that is annoying. I dislike the Red vs Blue colours in team games on Warlock because red seems to blend in like no tomorrow on that map...

Regular Slayer on Desolation... that is the worst map, and to start all of us with SMG's; just stupid...
