Well, Scotty and path1k are more eloquent than I but you have to experience the whole thing. It's not just one map or one level, you have to take them all in and let it cleanse you of Reach or even H3. Invite a friend that has a box or go buy one if you can but by all means, play this game (and CE if you haven't played that either).

Halo 2 for Life!

i didn't like turf to many corners, restricted movement and sight lines, it slowed down game play alot (the map). even in swat it took forever to find the enemy, i felt like i was a chicken with it's head cut off running in another restricted path (i recall some games of swat 1 v 1 that were so annoying, if one was losing they'd just hide and surprise attack).

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

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

Random thread...

Just go search some gameplay on Youtube

Been B& 3 times,so be careful in the forums,it's like a jungle

If you have a HDD on 360 you are able to play it. I dont have a HDD but I have Halo 2. So yeah.

not sure about swat on turf, never tried that but slayer, team slayer and jugger are good gametypes IMO. also the enjoyment/boredom you experience in a map also depends on how many players are in the map. Turf is spacious so I would recommend at least 6 players (maybe that's why massive hated it, he/she played it with only 2 players)

This is true. It also worked out great with Assault/CTF gametypes. Snipers/SWAT worked out great and dual wielding really shined in this map. It's probably on my top 5 list of greatest Halo maps ever made.

CTF/Assault on turf sounds interesting, if there's less then 8 people then I'd recommend changing ghosts to primary vehicle. if more then 10 i'd change hogs to primary vehicle

I loved Turf. The difference in sight lines/cover from the streets to the building sides and into the alley's was so varied it allowed a huge variety of gameplay/strategy to be successful.

In the alley's you could lock down areas with dual's due to tight quarters, but they weren't totally overpowered as nading the crap out of areas was an effective counter.The BR was great for the streets/building walkways but at the same time it never felt like they were to far a way to at least be challenged by duals or something else like a brute shot. Tacticalkilljoy already hinted about the duals but if your able to go back an play this game now after playing H3/Reach Turf will totally make you appreciate H2 dual gameplay being actually truly useful from short to medium range.

I also just loved the look and feel of the map at the time. It captured that realistic gritty feel of New Mombasa that had't been explored yet in Halo multiplayer. 100% made you feel like you were playing on a slice of the campaign which was a pretty big deal back then.

I miss dual wielding, it was such a leap to HALO 2s campaign and multiplayer from C.E. dual wielding wasn't as great in HALO 3 because they removed the BPR, didn't mind the spiker but I wish bungie never would have put that mauler in the game and I miss dual wielding needlers (the overpowered needler wasn't fun to use)

to some, the campaign is still a big a deal, including me : )

I never played Halo 2 because it wouldn't load past the first cutscene.

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

Keep it authentic...

More often than not, they turned into games where each team would try to frantically score the a point. It really brought out what made H2 gameplay great. I think the ghost might be a tad overpowered on that map. The warthog was always used as more of a battering ram than an actual assault vehicle (in my experience at least).

Couldn't have put it better myself! More elaborate, perhaps, but yes, that's the gist of it all ;)

almost 7 years late, but at least you've played it. i'm shocked there's still people who haven't played HALO 2 or are never going to bother play it

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

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


Amazing!

Turf was great for 3 Plots.
