I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

Totally agree. I had that problem just today as well. Can't stand it, it's demoralizing.

I think tombstone is ok. I played a KoH Tactics game on it yesterday in team skirm with some of my freinds and it was really fun. I mean we dominated the game, but it was still fun. The best was when the hill moved up where the sword spawns. Just out in the open. Pretty good stuff.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I would play a lot more ranked games if it weren't for those maps and stand-by. I'm going to stick with BTB until Halo 3 comes out, seeing as we probably won't see any more playlist updates.

Greatest of all time

I hate them both. Especially tombstone where matches are usually won by whoever has host.

Don't play MM or deal with it. Every one complains about the new maps, there are hundreds of topics like this. Host can be an advantage and a disadvantage, grenade/rocket jump is a disadvantage because it can through you off course and the extra high works against you in most situations.

Yes, how dare people complain about things they don't like, especially when, as you said, many people agree with them. People shouldn't have complained about standbyers, modders, or other cheaters as well and should have just dealt with it.

Why shouldn't people complain about these maps if they don't like them? Feedback is a very important aspect of games. Bungie changes the maps and weapons of Halo 3 based on what people like/don't like on Halo 2. If half the Halo 2 community hates Tompstone/Desolation, it's less likely Bungie will add it in Halo 3.

Saying host can be a disadvantage is like saying it's a bad thing to get a free $20 million because you have to pay taxes on it.

I like me.

I love desolation, but tombstone isn't really that great, especially for SWAT. Which kinda sucks since most SWAT games are on Tombstone. Actually, most games period are on tombstone.....
I gotta play more BTB.

Yes, I totally agree. I mean I don't mind the thoughs maps but I get them way to much. I would like Backwash to return though.

Not that I'm blaming anyone, but it's funny how back in the day everyone used to cry for Bungie to add in Hamg 'em High, and they would say that they tried it and it didn't work with the way Halo 2 works. Well they were right, because once they gave in and the fans got what they wanted......

When they were announced way back in the before time I was really looking forward to them, thought'd be great. Boy was I wrong.

Tombstone and Desolation are not the best maps but its better than playing the old maps for the 1 000 000th time.
