Yes. Some of my funnest moments I had was playing Rumble pit on that map. I hope they put it as a BTB map in ranked and un-ranked BTB.

Does anyone know why they took it out of MP in the first place?

I heard it was because it was dark, although I don't agree and I dont think it was the only reason.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I'm not sure why they took it out, but I found that Water Works was dark! It may have been my tv, but that map was like being in a wet cave, with a damp match! Halo 2 should return as an Original and have online support again! My opinion though.

Why did you put "When it comes back on XBL?" and they took it out because there was too much screen lag that would occur on that map and if you had like 2 sentinal beams and multiple plasma grenades thrown at once it would produce horrid lag, plus it was a horrible map for matchmaking. I wouldnt mind it being in Unranked BTB with like team duals on it, just dont put it in Hardcore or Doubles.

Halo 2 for Life!

It was a very well done map and hiding in it was easy. I recall being the most confused about the location of people with all those trees and the middle building and the large hills and valleys surrounding the middle. It was a clever map that was kind of spooky. It induced fierce battles and that is why it would be great for BTB. An excellent map that I look forward to playing in the future.

I along with many people think Halo 2 is coming back and it is just a matter of time. It was the best game in the history of video games and Microsoft cannot keep it hidden for much longer before more fans call them out to bring it back. It was XBL it was Xbox it was video gaming.

We can only hope it comes back sooner than later.

Yeah I honestly can not belive its been over 11 months since Halo 2 got shutdown, this is the longest I've ever gone without it on Xbox Live and everyday I hope that it will come back. I miss this game so fricking much and I cant belive its gone, I cant belive I spent my last 5 months doing what I wished I had done, playing Halo 2 and I cant belive I spent my last 2 weeks doing somthing stupid, not playing, and when I did play I wasnt playing with the people I wanted to play with.

Wait Halo 2 is live on XBL am I hearing this right?

  • 03.16.2011 10:23 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

I wish. My and others expectations are it will be. The timing is unclear and Microsoft is known for bad timing so we could be waiting for a while but Halo 2 fans will have it back on XBL eventually.

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.

Hell yea I would Like Backwash back in multiplayer. It was one of the perfect maps for zombies, free for all, and swat. From what I heard it was removed from matchmaking because the xbox 360 had trouble emulating the fog that covered the map and the active camo when it was used on that map. When played online it led to a lot of gameplay issues, so rather then trying to fix it they just removed the map from matchmaking.

Backwash was taken out of Matchmaking because of it's terrible lag. How could you not know this? Then you add that you would like it for BTB(aka lag central)... All after you say WHEN Halo 2 goes back online?

If you're being serious about everything.... I think with some changes Backwash should be back if H2 was ever put back online. But I'm having a hard time believing that you're not trolling.

  • 03.17.2011 12:05 AM PDT

Wouldn't it be really cool if they killed it, so they could re package it for the ten year annirversary, and in November CE and halo2 campaigns were remade with the halo2 multiplayer added on to the side. That would make xmas 2011 a spectacular one.

We can always dream...

It's tottalymassive, what did you expect. He's a nub anyway, and believes the crap he writes.

When is halo 2 coming to XBLA and how many microsoft points will it be?

  • 03.17.2011 12:04 PM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I loved Backwash, Halo 2 isn't coming back though.

  • 03.17.2011 1:27 PM PDT

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

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

They should bring back all the maps.
I still have them all saved on my HD

NEVER!

If you want it bad, play H2PC, and don't waste your time spamming Bungie or the Reach forums. Spamming the Reach forums = warning/ban, no one will listen if you spam the 343i/Halo Waypoint forums, and if you try posting YouTube videos, you will attract trolls faster then nuclear power companies are losing credibility.

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

Backwash was taken out because the 360 has problems loading the fog on the map. I liked it's name, nothing more. Never really played that map.

Also, I'm quite sure that Halo 2 as we know it will never face a return on XBL. It would be ridiculous considering that probably only 2000+ unique users would play it on a good day.

Halo 3 is still favored by most people and Reach is too. The people who moan about H2 are a minority. There are even more people wanting CE back with LIVE than H2.

Halo 2 for Life!

weekend days over 10,000. Weekdays 1000 to 5000 (last 2 years of existence).

I don't understand where this 2000 comes from...

Right before MS announced the shutdown. And it only had 500 people on at once, and mostly dead playlists by then.

Dont be a menace and ill give u some cookies

  • 03.21.2011 5:14 PM PDT

Do you really have nothing better to do than to tell everyone who wants halo 2 back that they are wrong on shouldn't even have the hopes for it?

Your ignorance astounds me.

Your ignorance is even more. You think that bugging MS will make them bring it back. All you will do is end up on their block lists. And yes, I'm being serious.
