hmmm...Race, the interesting little gametype that was put into a FPS, sounds misplaced, eh? well i don't think so. I was very surprised this was taken out of Halo 2, well other "new!" gametypes were put in, when i first started out playing Halo PC i was addicted to the premise of the warthog, and driving it. Obviously, i was also attracted to the gametype race. Whether it be pure racing, or having a guy sit gunner mowing down ur competitors, i found race adds yet another fun element to an amazingly innovative FPS. Although i've never tried it putting race on a map without vehicles is just as fun, however i guess the big problem is people who take every gametype as if it's all just 1 big slayer match.
Whether it be in Halo or Halo 2 if it's odball u should try and win by getting the ball, not just killing everyone who crosses ur path, if it's king don't just camp across the map waiting to kill someone respawning, and if it's race like i've found so many times, is that the game will degenerate into a bunch of campers using tanks and rockets, killing everyone who crosses where they're crouched, i can understand that in other gametypes, people not going for the required "goals" could be less of a problem, but in race these people truly ruin the game.
However i'm not sure if it was in the original xbox game, but Race adds a unique element ot Halo and i was surprised and saddened to see its removal from Halo 2.
P.S ya i know this thread leans more to Halo 2, but if i posted in New Mombasa or any other Halo 2 forum, this thread would be eaten alive.
