Subject: What's the deal with Blood Glutch?

Blood Gulch was the 1st sandbox of Halo.
Scorpions, Warthogs, Ghosts, ARs, Pistols, Snipers, Shotguns...
Huge bright map with good bases and sidewalks. It had everything Halo used to be, it was the Halo map.

Now Sandbox, or almost any map can easily be edited to be superior though

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Personally i'd love BG based map... Same basic layout with snow covering it and having a lot of trees, umm, a forest in the middle of it. Winter Gulch.

Well maybe not very dense forest... but still a lot of trees, but enough space to drive around, snipe and such. Trees would add more CQB too.

But i don't want BG itself, not really.

Once you have played it you will understand, Blood gulch is the reason I got an xbox, I now have a map in matchmaking :-)

I'm just a guy like you that plays halo.

Do understand, Blood Gultch was one of two vehicle maps in Halo CE, at least for the console.

Back then, there was no matchmaking, if you wanted to play, you had to do lan parties. And you had to do it with friends. No -blam!-s to ruin the experience, no lag, fun gameplay...

All those memories are preserved by time, and is why people like the map so much.

Huh, that's a very good point you made. Could be the main reason =D

The internet is a bad place.

The map is magic.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

It's a little too levelled for my taste. One base can see the other. I enjoy the hill on Valhalla.
My thoughts exactly. You have absolutely no cover from sniper fire anywhere on that map (unless you go inside the bases). That's why i love Valhalla.

Why does everyone love it so much? It actually seems pretty bad for gameplay. Only thing I could see it any good for is maybe a vehicle war of some sort.


Exactly, vehicle wars are fun.

People love it because it's a simple map; it's just two bases in an empty canyon. But even though it's simple, really intense matches can occur; play 8v8 CTF and you'll know what I mean.

It's openness makes it perfect vehicle wars; that's part of Halo's charm, vehicles, and Blood Gulch welcomed them with open arms.

To put it simply: Blood Gulch IS Halo.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

You werent there... you just werent there...

It is to this day the best map to just put on and mess around with. No map in any Halo game has truly topped it, and none ever will.

Amen to that.
I suppose a thread like this was inevitable now that there are forgers who "know how to make maps better than Bungie".
Blood Gulch was just awesome. If you didn't have a vehicle, you took the side roads cut into the cliff sides. If you did, you just plowed on over the the other base. It was very balanced as long as you were skilled. Every weapon and vehicle you had equal opportunity to get to. 8 on 8 games were way fun, but I spent countless hours with my friends playing 2 on 2, and even 1 on 1. Name me a BTB map in Halo 3 that's fun to play with less than 4 on 4.

I was there, sure I was a little late but I was there. I'm starting to see why you people love it so much. Just the simpleness of it and the vast amount of options/possibilities.

You know what? I'll pick up Halo: CE for my laptop and I'll play it for a day straight. I'll give my feedback soon.

Its a trap!!!

Posted by: Agent Peeps
It's nostalgia, and the fact that it was popularized by rooster teeth. I'm not saying it isn't a great map, but there were much better maps halo 1. Damnation, Tombstone, Boarding action. Timberland, Danger Canyon, Death Island and Infinity were much better maps in my opinion.


Exactamundo!

Roaster Teeth really made the map more popular.

I think Valhallah is a better map thats simular to it

all those maps you listed I thought were better although I liked hang em hig over tombstones industrial looking style

but i gave my ideas on what a remake of that map should look like

I have a better idea for you:
http://download.cnet.com/Halo-for-Windows-Trial-Version/3000-1 8541_4-10726108.html

The only map in the free trial is Blood Gulch, and alot of people still play it. The game might be a bit laggy though, Gearbox's netcode wasn't great.

First off for all of you people who Ddidn't play Bloodgulch, let me remind you how it's spelled: "B-L-O-O-D-G-U-L-C-H" Now that that's over, bloodgulch is the single best Halo map ever made. It's perfectly balanced for just about all gametypes, and no team has the advantage (red team has a small advantage in CTF but that's a very small advantage.) It's the most popular because it's fun and well-balanced. Go play it on PC... Goodness, people...

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

People fap off to pics of it too often, so they want to see a newly regraphiced one so they can fap off to it more.

EVERYBODY DANCE!!!!!!! Exept that guy....

  • 11.06.2009 3:36 PM PDT

Blood gulch was awesome, they kinda got the wrong proportion in Halo 2 though.

That's why I don't push for another one.

However, Valhalla plays exactly like Halo 1 blood gulch. It wasn't quite modeled after it, but it plays like it.

If you liked Valhalla, you would like Halo 1 blood gulch.

I got to agree with this. Blood Gulch encouraged too much camping. Valhalla is one of my favourite Halo maps along with Sandtrap, Longshore, and Terminal (Bring back plz?).

Only good for CTF Period.
