Subject: Standard Maps VS DLC Maps; which list is superior?

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

When comparing these two lists of maps side by side, which group did you feel like offered the greater selection of maps? That is a tough one...both lists are awesome. This fight would be a draw the way I look at it. But if you had to eliminate one side...

Standard Maps
Lockout
Ascension
Midship
Ivory Tower
Beaver Creek
Burial Mounds
Colossus
Zanzibar
Coagulation
Headlong
Waterworks
Foundation

OR

DLC Map Packs
Containment
Warlock
Sanctuary
Turf
Backwash
Elongation
Gemini
Relic
Terminal
Desolation
Tombstone

Halo 2 for Life!

Elongation is my favorite map, this doesn't make up for the fact that most of the other DLC maps weren't very good (i.e. Containment). All of the standard maps are good to very good so I have to give it to the standard maps.

Hello! Feel free to some Cobbler as this ODST stares at you.

Original, if only for Headlong.

I don't think there was a single map I 100% didn't like. But if I had to pick just one of the lists I would go with the first one. Ascension and Headlong are amazing.

RIP Halo 2

My top favorites are all in the Standard lists, so I have to choose that. But I loved almost all of the DLC ones too.

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.

Its a tie for me. My favorite maps are listed on both sides.

  • 03.14.2011 4:27 AM PDT

My vote goes to the Standard list of Maps.

  • 03.14.2011 4:53 AM PDT

Halo 3: Lone Wolves - 44
Team Slayer - 38
Team Doubles - 46
Team Snipers - 25
MLG - 20
Team SWAT - 28
Halo: Reach: Brigadier Grade 2 - 73% Armory Completion

Lockout, Ascension and Beaver Creek? No contest. Standard.

It's difficult choice, but I think I'm going with the original maps. I mean come on, Beaver Creek, Waterworks, Lockout, all amazing maps.

  • 03.14.2011 4:35 PM PDT

I fairly sure that if his IQ was 4, he'd be a vegetable. Or a rock with aspirations of being a vegetable.

I'm going to have to go with DLC. Relic and Terminal are the best!

dude, headlong, lockout, foundation, midship. best maps ever created.

Please explain.

It's like, "which one of your kids is your favorite?"

I'm leaning towards standard because Midship is my favorite Halo map of all-time, and Beaver Creek plays a mean flag game.

This has to be the toughest Halo 2 question I have come across. To be frank, it is impossible for me to decide. I loved everything about Halo 2, which included the maps, both standard and DLC. If I was to choose which one to have if I could have but one, I would be at a significant loss.

Precision is everything. Don't back down.

I'd have to say standard, but Containment was awesome. BTB Multi-Flag CTF was a blast. Both groups of maps were very fun to play, but I still have to go with standard solely because my beloved Headlong resides in that category.

I've made it my life goal to never become too stressed. So if I appear to be doing nothing all the time and generally never working particularly hard on any task, that's my plan in action.

Standard, the only maps I need to play are Lockout, Midship, Beaver Creek and Headlong.

  • 03.14.2011 11:50 PM PDT

It's a tie for me..as lame of an answer that is...usually I don't expect dlc maps to play as well or have the same appeal but the dlc maps went hand in hand with halo 2. Also it was a much better deal, we got nine maps for about the same price that other games charge for four....then two more for free, that's how dlc should be.

  • 03.15.2011 7:29 AM PDT

Man if halo 2 came back and the only map that you could play was backwash I WOULD STILL PLAY THAT BLAM...........well maybe.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Standard has Coagulation. I mean, seriously? I can't believe there was actually a decision to make! Coag coupled with Headlong? Psh. PSH.

Lol, I know this is a pretty hard choice. It seems like every map on the Standard list can almost be rivaled by every map on the DLC list when comparing side by side. It is fair to say that Halo 2 had some of the best maps in First-Person-Shooter history!

  • 03.15.2011 7:24 PM PDT

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

90% of the list is amazing maps but I have to say the standard on disk maps are better on average.

Lockout
Midship
Ivory tower
headlong

how can you beat that...
