"...And lo, did the Phoenix get smacked down, for he was not accustomed to playing sniper games. But soon he did rise up from the ashes and get sweet, sweet pwnage revenge on those who did wrong him, with a shotgun as his aid." Sayeth the lord.
-Halo Bible, Chapter 7, Multiplayer happenings, verse 654

Having played Halo 2 since it's release, there are certain maps on the multiplayer side that just make me cringe when they show up. No offense to Bungie, I understand that different maps cater to different playing styles, but some of them are just not my style. I'll stick around and play, but it just seems that I go in with low expectations for these levels. In paticular, Sactuary, Burial Mounds, and occasionally Desolation just rub me the wrong way. Anyone else?

Yeah, I'd forgotten about Waterworks. It's always a laggy laggy map for some reason. I don't mind Tombstone, just cause I played Hang 'em High so much on Halo 1, it's kinda part of my Halo universe. And Terminal depends on the game you get for it. Playing team slayer on it SUCKS because (A) the map is too big for 8 people, (B) I get the crap sniped out of me, and (C) it basically boils down to who can keep the Wraith under thier control.

I don't bail on games either. EVER. I don't care if it's me against a whole other team, I'm going to stick it out and play the rest of the game. Games where you have people quit out don't feel like real games even. They feel like some odd derrivation of the rules where it's 2 on 4 and spawn camping is inevitable. But every game has its ups and downs. Hopefully we'll have at least as many maps on Halo 3 as we do on 2. Diversity is the key.

Elongation and Tombstone are my least favorite. I don't like Waterworks but don't play it enough to care about it too much.

I do not like Warlock, Tombstone, or Elongation. Gemini is 50/50.

  • 09.10.2007 11:20 AM PDT
