Subject: Too much Lockout on XBC

Goats have hooves, I have thumbs. I can hold a gun and shoot the said goat.

Come on. I love Lockout but seriously, I can't play it for 4 days straight. Anyone else have this problem?

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

Go on Kai and host your own.

This is one of the reasons I don't play XBC often.

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

Keep it authentic...

Too much Lockout? I have never heard of such a thing.

If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

I assumed that Midship would be the most played map because in Halo 2's last 3 years (2007-2010) I noticed that when people are playing competitive custom games they are usually playing MLG FFA on Midship. While I know Lockout was a popular competitive custom game map, I started to see it less and less on XBL. Oh well I guess XBC is different.

Midship is #2. But hey, it's better then h2v, where there is far too much gulch.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Agreed, there is way too much coagualation on H2V and they are usually using stupid starting weapon combinations to.

If you're on a 360 change your mac address. That confused me at first :)

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

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

There's no such thning as too much Lockout

This statement makes me sick.

Lockout got more boring than Forge World on a screen without adjusting (adjusting as in juicier colors so that Reach doesn't look bland)....

Did you understand? More boring than FORGE -blam!- WORLD.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

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

Everyone has an opinion of what's fun and balanced. Halo 2 matchmaking gave us Bungie's opinion of those things, which we were used to. I rarely played Halo 2 custom games, so most of my experience were the Xbox Live playlists.

I tried Halo 2 on XBC and Kai, and did not like the strange settings and repetition of maps. Maybe if Halo 2 forum goers arranged times to play and agreed on map lists, the situation could improve.

And Bungies opinion was wrong, but it seems they figured it out eventually and gave us the hardcore playlist.
Which was good, but MLG settings was better.

Sigh

Someone thinks that ultimate balance (lol H2 balance) = fun

Not to everybody, my friend.

Regular matchmaking was fun in the beginning too, pwning and stuff. But when you ranked up and started to meet good players it became quite an anoyns that whoever spawned closest to the power weapons won.
Thats where the hardcore playlist did things well.

I prefer balance, but i had a lot of fun with the unbalanced machmaking for quite some time too.
