Yes, there's probably been many, many threads about this. But since I haven't seen one in months, and the new dominating force of maps in CE is rpg_beta 5, coldsnap, and extinction (please don't even bother saying those), I want to know what the community's favorite maps are. Oh, and stick to user-created content for your list. I kept the ones with ripped content from Halo 2 out, though I did play on many of those. I own Halo 2, no biggy =P

#1
H2_New Mombasa Classic
So many good times on this map, modelled on the city featured in the Halo 2 demo in E3 2003. So many good times... remember the first leaked Zanzibar?

#2
Streets of Earth City
No, it was actually pretty horrible. But limitless fun was apparent when it was first released: with the trippy gravity gun and the twenty minute rides to the moon that I frequently piloted.

#3
Camtrack Arena
One of the first maps based on Blood Gulch that was original, well-designed, and not complete bull-blam!- (*cough* ChaosGulch *cough*).

#4
Wartorn Cove
Do I need to explain it?

#5
Pipedream
I'm not going to lie. I was (and am) a huge, huge fan of stunts and screwing around in Custom Edition. This was one of the greats.

Honorable mentions:
Yoyorast Island. Hahaha. I'm not explaining this one. 2 was cancelled I think =(
Island Hop. Fun and imaginative. Unfortunately not very popular.
Super Stunt Track. Someone began thinking of uberfast warthogs. Awesomeness would ensue.
Red Feather Ranch. It was so well made, I loved it.
Room. Too bad the Playboy on the coffee table was cover-up.
Who could forget Killa's maps? There was an old one that preceded all the Hypothermia leaks that everyone wanted...

They were legendary. Wide-spread and incredibly fun to play upon release.
Yours?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Fragment, Launch Bay X, No Remorse.

My favorites:

1: X2 Mudslide.

Really cool for Assault and Slayer. Definitely better than High Ground, IMO.

2: Seclusion.

It is an outdoors arena style map, great for KotH and CTF. It's a shame no one plays it.

3: Lost Cove.

This map was great for pretty much everything. On level with Blood Gulch, if not better =)

4: Quagmire

Swampy map based off 343 Guilty Spark. Great for big team battles, and probably the one good swamp map I've seen.

*Sigh* it's too bad not that many people play Custom Edition.

Lost Cove, Quagmire, Launch Bay X and No Remorse. Good times. Launch Bay X and No Remorse actually had their own period of activity, and then they died; I don't ever remember the others being popular.

Damn it Tiamat, why did you hook CE on the drugs of longsword tags?

I only play sp levels, and in all honesty...I find my own WIP the most fun one I've played (and I played colloseum and area53 etc...).

Yeah, really, it is too bad; particularly becuase only 100-150 people play, so servers with maps other than coldsnap and Extinction don't have enough people in them for a decent game. Can't really play a 2v2 on a map as big as Quagmire.

It would be nice if Bungie supported Custom Edition more, or made it mandatory. So much untapped potential....

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Coldsnap, the clan i amm in has a coldsnap server and it has usually got a decent amount of people.

Coldsnap's cool. I just wish people would play some of the other maps, as well.

  • 08.19.2008 4:38 PM PDT

Just message me on live.

I can't remember the names...

No Love for Portent D:

Aha, Portent was also very fun, but zero to one active servers actually hosted the map at a time. It was really good, like an enhanced Derelict combined with a sort-of Waterworks feel, but we never got to experience it's true potential.

Blame coldsnap and extinction for being like the only maps played for months; which have already been named favorites by two posters despite me advising them not to =P. I mean, I can understand it if they enjoy messing around, but there's so many people who are proud of their bull-blam!- homing BFG 6000 killing me. Gah.

Oh, and ndugu_alpha most definetey ends up on the list.

Portent is cool, as Micro said. But I could never get enough people to try it out with me, so I didn't mention it.

Blood Gulch and a few default maps are almost always hosted. Just as well, CE's netcode makes sniper games much, much, MUCH more fun. On Halo PC, there's almost as many Sniper Dream Team mods as actual games....

Extinction is an ok level, i found a glitch on that map. I like coldsnap more personally. Isn't yoyorast island a map that's usually hosted? I usually see it.

Yoyorast? Occasionally I see it. Not much, though.

I haven't ever gone on and not seen a yoyorast server. From time to time I see members of the original yoyorast team as well.

Hope it gets going, people tend to download only the maps that are on the most popular servers, and so with only those maps, continue to play on coldsnap, extinction, etc.
