Subject: why does everyone only play in only FREAKING HUGE MAPS!?

out of all the custom maps for multiplayer i have seen... the only ones i see actually being played on are extinction and coldsnap....

I mean WHY play on maps like that when u could be playing on a better map like h2 sanctuary, or tutorial, and any other abandoned multiplayer maps...

the only reason i think people even play on extinction or coldsnap is because the longsword has a nuke feature, and extinction has the scarab ripped from halo 2 vista i think.

Im just asking WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Well, actually, I see quite a bit of people playing z_sanctuary_h2_pb2. Anyways, the reason people go to Coldsnap/Extinction a lot is mainly because they're just really what Custom Edition is about. Something larger/better/custom. I'd really like to see more people play No_Remorse, personally.

I miss the good old days of 8 on 8 CTF on CMT_Snow Grove. Alas, all that's left of it are those retarded zombie servers....

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

Because unlike CoD4, maps don't autodownload when you join a server. So everyone has to have the map to join.

I host servers on smaller maps from time to time, if you have xfire, you can add me and hit me up. I hate playing on the larger maps, especially when it is only 2 or 3 people.

Unlike every game circa 1995 more like. ;)

Gearbox's inexperience with porting and multiplayer in general really showed.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

And that's why the netcode blew. It was better then on Xbox (over xbc), but crappier then most PC games at the time.

Meanwhile, Quake III and UT99 worked over 56k, without having everyone else suffer. And they both had map downloading too. But at least Halo PC was far better then h2v.
