I was playing tombstone the other day and, no joke, we played tombstone 7 out of 10 games. I am so sick of that map, it is extremely one sided. We were up by 15 kills one game controlling red base and once we started spawning at blue, they nearly won the game. Are me and my buddies the only people having this problem? I feel like this happens way to often.

The map is terrible and doesn't work well for Halo 2. I hate it.

Ditto. If I had a nickel for every time I got Tombstone in Team Swat, I could retire to a villa on the French Riviera.

Exactly. Spawning is so predicatble. The person who Ok'd that should be fired or demoted

Its Really bad With Spawns and Weapon spawns.... Theres no Point in going for the sword Because your Open and can be shot from Anywhere ( Mostly from the red base) The same goes with the sniper...

Plus the Sword is Bad on that map because the Map is too big for it.

If Master Chief was holding a banana in Halo 1, as long as the gameplay is good, I could care less.

Lol I'm sorry but that is total bullsh** and you know it. You would be pissed if the Master Chief used only fruit as weapons.

The true issue is in halo 1 you had camouflage or overshield there, so when people saw you making the run, unless they caught you early, you could scoop up the defensive powerup and be safe. The sword does not save you, and thus you don't so much race for it, because the second you touch it, you are killed. If it were an overshield, it might still matter.

Though in all fairness, that would be three overshields (because the sword can't go at either other overshield spawn without being unbalanced... the defense shouldn't get it, and neither should offense) and that is a bit much. still, it makes that platform kinda worthless.


Though i still <3 the map for CTF

No Elites in Halo 3: ODST = FAIL

Its the best map for swat hands down though, loads of cover and strongholds, doesn't get much better for it....

  • 09.11.2007 4:43 PM PDT

Im going to fill your belly full of lead and give you a pool of blood to lay in

I think Tombstone is a great map but yes I agree I play it every night several times along with midship and desolation. It would be nice to see some bigger maps in rumble pit like relic.

The spawning however needs some fine tuning to make it better game play.

But all this will end on the 25th and we can say good bye halo 2 and HALOOOOO halo 3

If you want better play at tombstone, then try playing without br. Play shotgun matches, only duals, things like that. the thing that makes it such a problem sometimes is that there was no br in halo 1, just the pistol and that was easier to dodge than br blasts with auto aim.

exactly

i had it 4/5games in snipes the other day. the spawns are so bad and theres really no cover. its bad in snipes but its worse in slayer or most skirmish games. the only thing that works ok on that map is the 1 Flag CTF.

The last game we had on tombstone was zombie. It's a challenge for the zombie because they have to assault a fort. So those that like to play zombie on foundation will like it. But unlike foundation, there are multiple ways to get into the base so you have to watch more openings giving the zombies a better chance to kill.
