I'm not sure if it's just me, but has anybody EVER gotten Backwash as the stage in any matchmaking gametype? Was it ever in any of the matchmaking gametypes?

I'm just curious, because I have yet to play any online games on the level.

No. It was an Xbox360 emulator problem. The map caused MAJOR lag.

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

Backwash+Xbox 360=bad

back when backwash and all the other maps from the map pack were new, i played it about 15 times. afterwards, they stopped using it for the reasons above...

The way I heard it, the 360 emulation had problem with the fog, ESPECIALLY in conjunction with the cloak. If someone playing on a 360 saw somebody with the cloak, running through the fog, their framerate would drop so much that the game became unplayable.

So, basically - because the software emulation on 360s wasn't designed well enough to handle all parts of Halo 2, we can no longer play Backwash in Matchmaking. 360 people can't play it, so neither can the rest of us.
