Subject: What were the best multiplayer maps in this game?

Hey, I never got the chance to play Halo 2 online, but have heard it was amazing. I'm just wondering what the best maps were in this game. I'm hoping better than the terrible, easily exploited maps on Halo: Reach. Not like it really matters since I'll never be able to play it, but I'll probably search gameplay on the maps you suggest. Thanks:)

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Ivory Tower, Waterworks, and Relic. Most underrated maps. 2 are on the disc, and one is DLC (get the map disc or try the hdd transfer cable method)

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Lockout, Containment, Ivory Tower, Coagulation, Gemini, Midship, Terminal, Turf, Headlong, and Ascension.

I was there for the glory days of Combat Evolved. I was there when Halo 2 was hyped up and met the hype. I was there for the first days and last days of Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I was there for the Halo 3 days, the great Lag Age of 2008-2010. I was there to laugh and not buy ODST, I was there to vomit when Reach implemented reticle bloom. I am a Halo veteran, and a Halo legend.

Every map worked with 1 gametype or another.

Maps like Turf, Zanzibar and Headlong were fun for CTF/Assualt

Lockout/Sanctuary/Acension were fun for Team Slayer

Foundation and Backwash were fun for zombies

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

All of the maps were fun. Lockout (Blackout on Halo 3) and Coagulation (Hemorrhage) were definitely my favorites.

Do you think those remakes can compare with the originals? I mean, many people have different opinions on Hemorrhage than Coagulation or Blood Gulch from Halo CE. I'm guessing it's because the gameplay has changed a lot in Reach?

Loved all of them except Backwash.

Blackouts good but rarely played in matchmaking. Hemorrhage sucks, due to the fact that it's a crappy forge world map.

Halo 2 for Life!

My favorite is Elongation. It worked for BTB slayer so well.

  • 01.08.2011 8:33 PM PDT

For Carnage Apply Within - We played Marathon before Marathon was cool!

Keep it authentic...

Beaver Creek, Lockout, Zanzibar, Elongation, Turf, Sanctuary, Warlock, Midship, Ascension, Ivory Tower, Backwash, Desolation, and Foundation.

I'd say all of the maps in Halo 2 are of much higher quality than most in the newer games like Reach. I had hoped for remakes but oh well, Halo 2 will always be my favorite I guess.

This and Lockout.

Yes, Lockout is horribly overrated and overplayed, but it is amazing.

Halo 2 for Life!

Halo 2 maps are the best! But that is only because the game was the best! So dont get the wrong idea that Halo 2 maps work for Halo 3 or Halo Reach. They dont! Because they lack Halo2's greatness! lol.

I wish they would make a game like Halo 2 again and not H3,Hreach, and H1. H2 was MP, and always will be the best for that, it flowed it was smooth and it was great! Gears the most similar to H2 over all other halo's.

All other halo's are either like counter strike or COD even the PC version of H2 is more like counter strike than H2 to me lol.

Halo 2 = best game ever made!

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

I don't know if you've played ascension or whatever the hell they call it on Reach yet, but it makes me want to throw up.

lol, It's good to know others thought Reach's map remakes of Halo 2 maps were poor at best. I think it might be more something to do with the entire game that made the remakes bad but that is a long story...

From what I've seen and heard (from you now and a few others) I made the right desion not to buy that game and end my association with Bungie products until Halo 2 is back on XBL.

Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.

Every map except Backwash. Halo 2 had the best map selection out of any Halo game by a long shot.

I miss Halo 2!

The remakes of Halo 2 maps play out differently in Halo: Reach. I'm sure Ivory Tower (Reflection in Reach) played out well, but it is terrible in Reach, with everyone just camping at the elevator. Not sure if that was also a problem in Halo 2. I think the biggest problem is how the overall gameplay has changed so much from Reach, compared to the other Halos. Thus, the remakes in Reach don't play out like they used to play out in the older games.

Ivory Tower had elevator camping in h2. I saw it a lot on the PC port, and it happened on Xbox too.

Also, CS is awesome. Tottalymassive is just mad he gets his ass handed to him every time he plays.

I liked them all, however when it came to coagulation, and containment, whatever side had the tank and rockets almost always won the game. Seemed like you had to make sure you had both, and took out the enemy tank if you wanted to win.

The best maps where easily, Midship, Lockout, Sancturary and Warlock. Thats not too say i din't have fun with any of the other maps.
Zanzibar, Beaver Creek, Elongation, Colossus where very decent too. And Headlong was a fantastic BTB map.

Most of the maps could be played, but there where not so hot ones like Relic, Terminal and desolation.

You know it does nothing. It did nothing in Halo 3-1, you just did not notice it. Go on Halo 3 and rapid fire at a wall and the bullets get more random. Don't try to deny it. I've shot real guns, I should know.

Like all the maps except Gemini.

They were all pretty great, definitely superior to what we've gotten in Halo 3 and Reach. But the absolute best map was Headlong. My other favorites were Waterworks, Relic, Terminal, Zanzibar, Lockout and Sanctuary.
