Subject: Never Get To Play On Desolation Or Tombstone

I just recently went back to playing Halo 2 only and that was about a month ago. I have played on every map except Desolation or Tombstone. Is there a reason why these two maps never come up?

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

If whatever playlist you're playing doesn't require that a player have those two maps, (I'm unsure as to what map packs are required to play in a given playlist), then they won't show up. Everyone needs to have the maps in order for them to appear in matchmaking.

If that's not the case, though, you might want to try some Team Snipers. I haven't played it in awhile, but I remember that Tombstone came up a good bit in that particular playlist.

Can you believe it?

If you never get to play on it in matchmaking try to get a bunch of people and then, have a big custom game on those maps. Those are always fun.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Hmmmmm, I always thought that those two maps came up too often when playing MM.

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

No, Halo2 MM doesn't work like Halo3's does. A playlist either has those two maps in it(Which would mean you have to have them to enter the playlist) or the playlist doesn't have those maps in it, and it doesn't matter if everyone in the lobby has those maps (And I don't see why they wouldn't, since every single map pack is free), they'll never show up.
