"Hunt", "Humid" and "Spooky" are just a few words used to describe Backwash, one of the new maps coming soon for Halo 2. Grab your mosquito repellent and fog lights as we take a closer look at murky mysteries contained in this swampy battleground.

OMGFIRSTPOSTWTFBBQ!?!?

Seriously, Backwash kicks all kinds of ass. Visually, it's one of the most striking maps yet and the atmosphere is just plain spooky. Hopefully you all will enjoy it as much as we do. :)

I don't like the inclusion of the sword, but I do think the active camo was a good add (even if it isn't hard to spot someone with it). It looks like a good map.

theweeklyblend.com - for the fans by the fans

Will be fun with friends, but in matchmaking?! I don't know....

It's cool that you have added the sentinel beam from the campaign, though.

Could be cool, I just have my doubts.

Long live Relic.

yay! 1st page! if anybody likes this idea, please say something!anyways, a hint to all of you players waiting to get an edge on the game, if you want to be even sneakier without active camo, just change your armor color to all green. it will work, for you will blend in very nicely! do not have any bright colors on your armor, because everyone around and even on the other side of map will still see you better. with green armor you will be even harder to see! use this tactic when you can.....

thanks for the update, but this map does look very weak. To me it just sounds like wizard meets the london fog. and the inclusion of the sword on such a small map insures one sided boring games for both the person owning and the person being owned.

No, I don't like it. It looks like a map that cheaters will have a field day on. Could just be me though. If you don't cheat and you would've voted for Bush, Give me a holler.

halo 3 would be awesome if they created this huge map(like the size of 4 containments) and when you played it in mathmaking it could contain 100 players
