Subject: Two weeks of Halo 2 left, please do this for us...

Team Slayer..... take out burial mounds, Colossus, Elongation and the two newest maps. put backwash and foundations back in rotation. have a mix of team slayer games, with some shotgun, sword, SWAT and sniper thrown in. heavily rotate lockout, midship, Sanctuary, Gemini, and Ascension. With some Coagulation and Ivory Tower thrown in for fun. would mostly be a SMG start on these levels.



PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! MAKE THIS THE MOST ENJOYABLE LAST 2 WEEKS OF HALO 2 EVER.....

like the commercial says, we have to say goodbye to our good memories before moving on to halo 3.....



NAME IT : "BEST OF" PLAYLIST.

Backwash? People on 360 can't handle Backwash because of the emulator issue.

And at this point a lot (if not most) of Halo 2 players have already made the switch to 360...

Flood mist + Camo make the 360 framerate drop to >10 per second, I had it happen in Campaign on the final Chief mission (invissie flood on legendary.... Needless to say I needed new pants)

Colossus is like the only god map in Team Slayer IMO

Colossus is the worst map in the freakin' game. It would be a little better if it was Slayer and not Rifles, but it's not. So SmokedSuicider, I give you the right to shut the -blam!- up. Detroitvibe, I agree with your 'best of' idea, that would be awesome.

I have heard good ideas for MM. this idea is not one of them.

Are you joking? I give my opinion and you tell me I'm wrong? Opinions can't be wrong.

And Colossus is really fun with Team Rifles for me, it isn't "Hardcore" but it isn't "Casual" either. I like it a lot.

  • 09.11.2007 6:56 AM PDT

Colossus is fun to me one day and i hate it the next. its more often than not a fun map to play.

  • 09.11.2007 7:02 AM PDT

Why not include every map in every playlist and throw in some random gametypes after the release of Halo 3?

Here's a thought....

Let Bungie work on getting H3 released, let them do all their promotional activities and travelling and such, let H3's release pass for at least a week, and THEN let Bungie work on tweaking H2 for those who are still stuck with an original XBox and can't go on H3, or for those who still want to visit H2 once in awhile for novelty reasons. I say let them get one thing out of the way first. They've got alot to do. A lot of you who have 360's and are going to have H3...face it...you only want them to tweak, fix and improve H2 because you feel loyal to the game and are having a hard time with your separation anxieties and don't wanna leave the familiar behind. Fear of something new, of the unknown. It'll be ok...H3 will be great.

Burial Mounds and Colossus are some of the best maps in the game in my opinion.

Plus, why take maps out anyway? Why not just put them ALL in the rotation? Where is the logic in REMOVING a map because you simply don't like it?

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

First off Lockout has been heavily weighted in most gametypes since forever. The problem right now is the 2 new maps are still weighted too so I can't wait till it is toned down to a normal weighting especially for team snipes. Plus they are not going to make any special changes to Halo 2 for the last 2 weeks, nor will they make any changes for quite a while after Halo 3 comes out. They are going to have to see what kind of a population they have in matchmaking, post Halo 3, see what that population is playing, and then decide what kind of a final playlist they are going to have. Plenty of changes in store for Halo 2 mm but don't expect anything soon. There is going to be plenty of Halo 3 stuff taking their time and then it's going to take time to look at all of the information concerning recent Halo 2 mm activity so it will be a few months.

In response to the previous post, there is no problem with taking some maps out of some playlists, which is what the author thread is asking. He isn't asking that they be taken out of the game entirely just out of Team Slayer. The maps he wants taken out are designed for team slayer though so will probably stay.

UK and Euro players looking for good local games, forums for friendly banter and tea-parties, look no further:

-OMG!!!-

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

(Online Multiplayer Gaming)

while we're at it...


can we please have the Ranks back on BTB? and get rid of Team duals Extra.

There are soo many (more) quitters and team killers on BTB now, and tactics have gone right out the window. Its no-where near as much fun as it used to be....



i get the feeling we just gonna have to wait the extra two weeks lads....

Colossus is like the only god map in Team Slayer IMO



That level is broken! it is completely ruled by what ever team gets the lucky spawn next to the sniper. it's a bad level, and if forge existed for H2, it would have changed by now and the level might actually be playable.

I'm talking about filling the time until H3 is released. just something little to hold us over. I'm not having anything close to separation anxiety, halo 3 is going to blow h2 out of the water .

and i am so sick of the two newest maps that just came out, they are horrible, not fun, and in HEAVY rotation.


but thanks anyway Dr. Phil.

OK, I'll give you that on burial mounds, i just don't care for that level to much, but Colossus.....taking that out, or at least making it no snipes...

Colossus =/= Sniper Control at all

And the Sniper is right at the middle of the map, both teams have an equal chance at snagging it.

Maybe thats just a matchmaking thing, but my clan and I play Backwash all the time on 360's and none of us have any problems. I know im always in greenbar and I never have lag issues.

It's not lag, it's frame rate issues with the 360. Mine stutters on backwash every time, making it unplayable. I liked backwash btw.
