Subject: Is tombstone the worst map ever?

i got a flaming helmet from Lukems girlfriend one time and i couldn't walk right for a week.

I want my 2 bucks back. If they changed the spawn points it might be salvagable.

Certain Affinity should burn in hell. Tombstone is just terrible, Hang Em High is my favorite map. The dirty baseball stadium sucks.

Tombstone isnt that bad compared to that foggy, wastland, flood-infested-looking place, it could be a lot worse...

I'm in agreement regarding Tombstone. It's pretty bad. The only thing I like about it is that indoor base area with the windows. Other than that, it's too open and not good for skirmish. For slayer, the spawn points are too predictable and easy to remember. Spawn killers own the game pretty much all the time. I thought Warlock was not that great when it came out, but there are definitely strategies you can use on that map to overcome the faults in the layout. Tombstone? Well, I think it's aptly named cuz all players are when they get that map are walking "tombstones".

All depends on who has host really. If I have host, I love tha map cause I'll be the one spawn killing the other team. If I don't have host it sucks, because they then spawn kill, so ya. It is the worst map there is.

lol nice i like warlock/desolation because its awsome for swat , i thought the whole idea on the old hangem high was to use the pistol, and also everyone stuck out like a sore thumb because it was so shiny and grey so even chance for everyone. the good ol days!

w00t w00t to all the psychotic warthog drivers out there like me

i dont know about you guys but i personally like tombstone, yea i like hang em high better, but i do like tombstone. it is a good outdoor and indoor map. i would like it a lot better if it didnt have a default sniper spawn though, if someone gets a sniper they can dominate the whole map.

I would much rather play on Tombstone than Warlock. But Tombstone definitely is no where near as good as the original Hang'em High.

Spawn killers have a blast on Tombstone. The Map is aproximatly 70% open which is horrible for almost every situation. All you can really do is avoid MM. Tombstone is better for "fun" games such as zombies. I myself don't like Tombstone.

  • 09.13.2007 2:34 PM PDT

yeah, tombstone is pretty much the worst...not thread worthy IMO

It's ok but not the greatest. It diserves to be in the Halo 2 map set though. The worst maps ever are Backwash, Desolation, and maybe Warlock and Midship.

Please tell me you did not just say that about midship. I loved the map when it first came out before I even knew my way around the map. My brother used to always whomp me, but on that level, I'd hang out on that top platform and sword lunge down onto him. Then, once I got live, I could own him on any map, but then I just loved it because it's great. No sniper whoring.

Anyway. I like Tombstone. It's a fun map.

Tombstone and Desolation are the reasons I only play Double Team if I ever enter Match Making at all.

  • 09.13.2007 5:49 PM PDT

smack me for saying this if you want but i think coag is the dumbest map.

  • 09.13.2007 6:43 PM PDT

No matter what, it's always fun. If you win. So try harder random.

It's not bad, but it's definitely not that great either.

Worst map for me would have to be Desolation. No default BR spawn = suckage.
