Zanzibar does look like a good field of playing actually. It has items and obstacles and it isn't like an open field and hills like BG.

and for the reocord halo has 13 maps 3 of them being complete utter crap and ill tell u why. chiron i dont even have to say much here u will never see peopel playin it and thers lil to no strategy playing it. next map is sidewinder anything less then 4vs4 map is pointless and anything more then 4vs4 u cant get the dam flag outa the base. game will take upwards between 2 hours and 3 hours with elite people. it isnt a bad map cuz its big its a bad m,ap because thers no way to get out of the base when the tema keeps spwaning right in front of u. next map is blood gutch ill admit i playd this map for the first year of halo alot 4vs4 had alot of great times. but once everyoens level of skill inproved all it turned into was a pistol match and who got sniper and keep spwanr raping till ur team can finally get out wit flag. also not a bad map cuz its big thers just limited stategy and entirley to much spawn raping wit sniper...

now my friends play a map like damnation generic weapons 4vs4 or 3vs3 ctf wit 10 sec spawn ctf and u got urslef a great match. not as much spwan raping wit sniper and sides can be prety even and game usally only takes 20 minutes -30 minites wit real elite players with timers. its all about controlling camo and overshield and rocket. and goin in pairs with ur teamates workin on teamwork ..
the rest of the halo maps i think are great for 2vs2 and 4vs4 and require map control wich requires teamwork. anyways take care and check out mlgpro.com

prisoner wizard hang me and dammy...the maps that made the first halo's multiplayer the best I've ever played.
what the hell is hang me and dammy, oh well it is not true that they take the least skill they require patence, long games are more fun because the longer it lasts the more you want to win. those maps are by no means small, small is chiron. you dont like them because you dont have the skills to compete in game with big maps


I stopped reading here. This is rediculous. BG is noob central. I refuse to play BG unless im just farking around, it totally blows. Try playing real maps like Chill out, Hang em High, Damnation, Prisoner where true skill can be seen.

Post above me nailed it right on.

Hey SicFuc!!!! YOu have to agree with us that small maps like Dammy and CO and Hang em are the best.. If anyone wants to know who a good player is .. it's SicFuc here .. he's pretty good, usually beat me when I played on his host ..he's in 0m3n so he's gotta be good. He knows what he's talking about .. SicFuc it's that annoying kid who kept IMing you and kept joining your host all the time.

Alright...a lot of people have had some intelligent arguements and presented themselves in a way that would seem convincing. There's been a lot of annonymous forum type of...I can say what I want stuff...and the original question of the topic was ignored quite a few times. It still is the way it always has been...nobody will change your mind except for yourself...you can only enlighten someone else about a different point of view...I happen to believe that blood gultch sidewinder type levels are utter crap. And I believe that if you play enough with skilled players you'll realize it...I understand the need and demand for maps such as blood gultch because there are players who either enjoy base camping...never ending games or for people who just can't kill each other. But bottom line is...I'm really hoping for the same type of maps that were in the original...with the same...good to bad ratio. Maybe they were creating the crowd pleasers first and showcasing them then would add in some more 'pro' (which is a word people throw around but in my book it means someone who's good at something) maps later. Who knows...but anyway...I'm less worried about the game now...somewhere in this topic someone said something along the lines of..."More room more fun!" and that made me realize that Bungie wouldn't be selling the game to only people like that.

Agreed. Keep a varitey of maps that include both big and small.

Personnally I'm one of the few people that likes every map in Halo. Sidewinder is in my opinnion a great map for sniping. It is the second best map for sniping with Hang 'em High being the first. Blood Gulch is an ok map for team slayer but a pretty decent map for ctf. I played ctf on almost every level and I find blood gulch being a great game for CTF. 4v4 with good players. I was one time playing for and hour and half in one game. Boarding action I have to admit isnt one of the best of levels. I've tried playing 4v4 CTF on that map and it just doesnt seem right. It is just kind of boring. Sidewinder for CTF is ok. Not really good. But Hang 'em high CTF sucks. Also CTF on Chill out sucks. I for one like every map except maybe Boarding Action. Everyone got its downfalls. I dont think BG sucks for base camping maybe because the ppl i play with never base camp. Some times it isnt the map that sux it could be the ppl you are playin with that sux. And I'm not talking skill wise...

what i will like in halo 2 is that the maps are big and awsome but not soo big so that you can get lost or you will find an area where there are absolutly no enemys. like in BF vietnam


Yeah, Same Here.

One is in some ways the wacky love child of Battle Creek and Hang 'Em High

Now this sounds like a good map...although the other one...that's asymetrical and as big as water works...sounds like...uhh...yeah...
