Do you like Yax? I do.

Everyone I know always hated Backwash, but I always liked it.

RIP Halo 2

Backwash is definitely one of my least favorite in Halo, but I loved every other Halo 2 map. Halo 3 had some good ones, and a decent amount of terrible ones. And Halo Reach's maps are really just abysmal. I don't know what happened.

It was probably the worse map in Halo 2 but in the Halo series it's actually decent. Which says it all about the map design Halo 2 had.

Shame it got removed from matchmaking. Damn screen burn.

It looks okay, but the gameplay seems dull and out of control. You can barely see more then 10 feet ahead of you, and there is a lot of trees.

backwash was only fun for glitches

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

Backwash certainly wasn't one of the best maps ever created for Halo, but Reach has so many terrible maps that even Backwash looks pretty good now.


Wow, that's some pretty extreme idealizing and nostalgia right there.

Halo 2 had the worst maps in general. Turf being the most overrated.

All my opinion.

Backwash was unbelievably good. Its atmosphere was original yet awesome. It wasn't stupidly small either, so the game didn't turn into button-mashing wars like the more recent releases, granted H2's melee wasn't as retarded.

Tbh Backwash > h3/reach maps and elongation.

  • 07.02.2011 6:03 PM PDT

Not at all, it was actually my favorite halo 2 map, next to headlong of course.

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.

Honestly I think the 3 least popular maps in the Halo series are Snowbound, Epitaph, and countdown.

What was so bad about Backwash? I didn't know it was hated so much and this is the first time that I discovered that many people disliked it. I thought it was a pretty fun map with interesting atmosphere. I had fun getting outside the map or playing zombies with friends on there.

I'd rather play on Backwash than most Halo 3 and Reach maps.

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).

The map I didn't like in 2 was Foundation, because of the rockets. As for worst map, though, my votes for either Paradiso or Epitaph.


Epitaph is a great map. Not even the worst in Halo 3.


I'm still a little mad. I mean how can you say Epitaph is broken? Epitaph is awesome. And it was great for HLG.

It's called an opinion for a reason. Epitaph just never suited my play style. It's laid out a lot like Gemini, and most people I know hate Gemini.

backwash was more fun then sanctuary and foundation imo

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

Keep it authentic...

Personally, I like that map.

Seriously? you guys....Backwash was cool, some people just have wierd thoughts, well its just opinion. Its great but the many negative thinkers say backwash sucks makes me sick. If you dont like it, quit!! : D

While it is one of the weaker maps in the series gameplay wise due to the tiny sight lines with the fog and overgrowth I still got enjoyment out of the map playing ranked doubles with a buddy of mine. We would control sword/shotgun, build up a decent lead and hide in the small rooms on the sides. Cheap I know, but it was effective.

  • 07.18.2011 3:00 AM PDT

I respect Bungie a lot for making Backwash and trying something different even if it didn't turn out all that great.
