"Obviously, many more original maps will be included, and
multiplayer environment lead Chris Carney admitted that fans are hoping for the return of
some popular favorites, especially blood gulch. The inclusion of these classic maps is
being considered"


Lets hope so!!!

I think blood gulch and hang em high were going to make it as they are the most popular maps. I think some form halo PC were going to get in too.

Bring back the BG. It's a classic, and I would love to see it back in Halo 2 with many improvements.

BG not so "simple" when you're playing my team in CTF. There are many good places for snipers to give a flag carrier cover. There are also many good "cut off" positions to play in CTF due to the hills.

The BG is widely loved. Many strategies can be used, and I'm still making new strategies after playing the BG for over 2 years.

Yeah, they should bring back "Hang Em High". Of course with the newly revamped graphics.

I'm talking about level design...

I'm talking about level design...

Some of the best levels are based on simple level design. Wizard and Derelict are very simple maps, but they are very fun to play in. BG is not so simple in design. It was designed for CTF, and balance was a big issue. I believe that balance was met, and that is why so many stategies can be applied on the BG.

Small maps tend to be simple, that's the problem... For a big map Blood Gulch very basic for a large map... Sidewinder was much more complex and entertaining for me...

1. The bases themself were way to small, and simple... They need to upgrade them at least
2. I think the level was too short, it should have been 1/2x longer to 2x longer
3. the level was two plain, no blunt objects that could be used for cover... If it wasn't for the hills the level would look like a class doom map =P
4. They could have made more tunnels and high reachs (like Sidewinder has)

also, if they plan on implanting Banshee's into Halo 2's multiplayer (as well as other possible aircraft), they should make the cannon deeper...

the graphics card is intergrated into the xbox's mother board ( I believe ), so no...

Hang 'em High is also another well crafted multiplayer level. The level design on Hang 'em High is perfect for different types of Slayer matches. There are many places to hide, and yet the most of the level is wide open. Pick ups were well placed too.

Small and simple or not Blood Gulch is a classic and the best map yet. Bungie should make a map simple with a World War 2 setup, it should have bunkers on each side and a big bunker which holds the flag, in the middle there should be hills for cover, but it should also make a good battlefield.

the to best levels period are side winder and BL. but i have to give it to side winder because its bigger than BG, more sniping hideouts, and the bases are built better than BG.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

If BG comes back something will have to be done to balance out the banshees. On Halo PC it is to easy to repeatidly spawn kill with them.

That is the problem with Halo PC the banshees were never balanced out with the rest of the game play. I am sure glad they will be in Halo 2.

I agree. Revamp a few of the classics like Blood Gulch and make them larger to compensate for the flying vehicles, new weapons, etc.

Death Island/ Cartography Island definitely needs to be in Halo 2 alongside Blood Gulch, and Sidewinder.

It wouldn't bother me, but I would rather see what new stuff Bungie can come up with. The first three that have been shown look great! I want to play them soooo bad.

i believe on battleground halo, their was a link to a german game website that went to bungie to get info on halo2 for the site. and they got to see some multi player levels including BLOOD GULCH, some sorta water facility which is one of the mp shots released by bungie, and burial mounds. but the blood gulch comment sounded cool.
