I miss Halo 2.

Not because of the super jumps, or the bxr-ing, or the BR. I miss the maps.

I mean if you look at the way the maps looked...

...Zanzibar, Headlong, Colossus. WATERWORKS. And so much more.


I know mentioning this shouldn't be in the H2 forum, but I think that Halo Reach maps (although being located on a human planet and not Halo) don't really give off a Halo-vibe...

But I mean, even Headlong felt more Halo than Boneyard...

Halo 2 for Life!

Almost everything in Halo 2 was awesome! Not the cheaters though.

I know what you mean, Halo 2 rules!

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.

The maps were perfect for almost every gametype and they were fun to explore. Sadly I wish they had carry over some of that perfection to the maps on Reach, Halo 3, and ODST.

I agree with you totallymassive, Halo 2 rules.

My old Halo 2 account is Devil brothers

Headlong BTB - I had some of the best games throughout the whole series on this map.

Halo 2 for Life!

Elongation was my favorite map. BTB on that map was perfect.
Headlong was also was fun for bomb and flag but slayer (snipers and other types of slayer) and territories weren't so much fun (on headlong).

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

Contrary to what you might think, H3 and Reach have some awesome maps too. Anchor 9, the Ivory Tower Remake, and Zealot pwn, while H3 has Sandbox, Sandtrap, some h2 remakes, and more.

And H2.....has backwash.

Burn.

Halo 2 has the best maps after Halo PC. The only bad map H2 had was Backwash.

Reach has: Campdown (only good in MLG), Camp Base, Pinnacle, Paradiso, CAGE....

H2 has 8547 flaws but the maps are near perfect. You are a blind hater and in denial of a fact if you disagree.

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

I love how you can only think of a few examples from each game and half of those are remakes of maps from Halo 2. By the way, Halo 3 has Epitaph.

You're right, I must be a blind hater if I am not wearing goggles.

Ok then. You want it?

H2 has Lockout (Yeah, it blows. For real, 420 was 2 days ago), Desolation (ugh), Elongation (it sucked in H1 too), and Burial Mounds (ehhh).


  • 04.22.2011 9:14 AM PDT

I loved just about every single Halo 2 map. I didn't realize how important maps were to a game until Halo 3 and Reach came out...the maps in those stunk.

Elolgation sucks, that's true. Lockout is great for 4v4, above and it got retarded though. Burial Mounds is an awesome Objective map.

I did not know I could have a signature.

I agree with you man. I don't think there is a game out where I love all of the maps like I did in Halo 2.

Lockout is a good map just WAY to overrated. I prefer midship anyday to lockout.

Desolation - lol crap map
Elongation - Decent for 2v2s, anything bigger is just a mess
Burial mounds - don't get me started.


Halo 2 had it's fair share of crap maps too.

Feeling snide today are you?

Halo 2 had more than it's fair share of great maps. After Reach came out and needed more maps I didn't see anyone calling out for H3 map remakes, only H2 maps were coveted enough for that. That's the way it seemed to me anyway.

Halo 2's maps were the best, I know that. Not all of them were "AWESUM" though, Backwash immediately comes to mind as well as Elongation.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Is this guy a popular Halo 2 troll? You're going to list some "great" Halo 3 or Reach maps, and you list -blam!- like Sandtrap? Sandbox? What the hell?

On topic, Halo 2 had amazing maps in every facet. For Team Skirmish, Team Slayer, Team Snipers, Multi-Team, Big Team Battle, 6v6 Team Battle, etc. You couldn't do no wrong. The only ones I didn't care for were Gemini and Backwash, though Backwash got shafted due to the Camo factor.

For those hammering on Elongation, let's bring up a popular Halo 3 map that's similar in team-size and symmetry... Isolation.

Yeah, fantastic map.

And Burial Mounds was an outstanding Team Skirmish map.

Elongation: Grenade spam-infested, stupid pile of -blam!-.
Isolation: Lone Wolves and Infection are awesome. 'Nuff said.
Burial Mounds: I LOVE IT.

Everyone =/= You.

Sandtrap was good for BTB and Sandbox was good just for all the forge maps.

  • 04.25.2011 6:51 AM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

There were fewer and fewer great maps with each game. Reach doesn't have any maps that I want to play on just for the hell of it.

Not even Powerhouse? Not even Zealot? And if you don't want to play Reflection, you're a hypocrite.

I disagree by the way. Halo 3 had its fair share of great maps. Reach is the problem.

Zealot is a solid map. Reflection isn't quite the same as Ivory Tower, at least in Reach's movement and AA's it isn't. I guess if the Rockets weren't so filled it wouldn't be such a dominant factor.

Isolation was terrible in every facet, meh.

Loved Elongation for CTF Classic and Neutral Bomb.

Sandtrap is good compared to what? It's below average.

Look at Halo 2's BTB offerings, notably the asymmetrical ones like Headlong, Terminal, and Relic, and you still want to argue this?
