My third montage!

Many of my Halo2 memories were from system linking or good ole split screen action. But playing over live last night I'm ashamed I never owned an original xbox and more ashamed that I didn't spend more time playing halo2.

Relic, BTB, Br starts. This played amazingly well and I instantly fell in love with this map. I was always fascinated by it's design but after getting some BTB goodness in on it I see why it really shined.

Headlong, BTB I played 1 flag on this multiple times and each time it was amazing. So many different ways to attack the flag. Again I instantly fell in love with this map.

Coagulation, Gulchwars. You'll all hate me for this but it's just my honest opinion. After playing multiple slayer matches I found it laughable that there is such a dedicated movement to have this map remade. The guasshog was stupidly overpowered on this map but in all honesty no more overpowered than say standoff or Sandtrap. Was it fun? sure but I understand now more than ever why it wouldn't have worked in halo3.

Overall I'm sad to see it go but now I want Relic remade/reimagined/rewhatever

Thanks Bungie.

OMGWTFBBQ! Relic is my favorite map of all 3 games. Though I can't help but get the feeling that Sandtrap was supposed to be the "spiritual sucessor" to Relic, which is shameful.

Still a little early for post mortem but the maps in Halo 2 are the best of the trilogy

I don't' see the resemblance, but yeah I'm gonna miss this map. I'm thinking forging a remake if there aren't any out there. awesome map. I think one of the reasons I like it so much is that it's just so different, no defined bases, just a huge center structure to fight over in the middle of the map. Essentially a symmetrical map that's been inverted if that makes sense. Please bungie can we haz remake in reach??

I'd have to say Relic was my favorite map of all time unless it as Team Snipers lol. It played so well with every other game type and heck it worked for 4v4 and 8v8! Now that's what I call great level designing.

Well, ill say that the map looks amazing. You're right, its strangeness is one of its best qualities.

But think about it. Relic and Sandtrap both:
-have a really old Forerunner structure in the center of an oval shaped map.
-are really big.
-have a crashed Albatross.
-have a covenant outpost on the edge of the map(different as they may be).
-and if you go outside the play limits, you die.

LOL, me too, man. I got two games of gulch wars on Coag last night, and they both sucked. The first time, we somehow got ahold of both tanks and a Gauss 'hog off the bat and had them hiding in their base. I was on top of the base chucking 'nades and BRing the poor suckers trapped inside. The second game was the same, except my team was the one spawn trapped. Seems like that's the way the map plays.

Wait what??

*runs to halo2 to see this*

Edit: Well I'll be... I spent so much time in and around the large structure that I never saw it.

As much as I love sandtrap? Relic > Sandtrap easily.
