Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Halo 2's Big Team Battle playlists were amazing. The first map that pops into my head when you say "Halo 2 Big Team" is Headlong...I don't know why but it just is.

Even though many players like different maps for different reasons and it is all opinions...Headlong just seems to be the one map that the general Halo population loves and agrees on.

You can go into the Reach forum and ask what Halo map you want back and the majority of members will say Headlong. What made this map so special and what seperated it from the other Big Team Battle arenas?

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
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.

Probably because it is a huge city map. That said, I would equaly like to see Terminal back.

Halo 2 for Life!

it forced team work and separating who would go where was important i.e. front attack bottom below or left side bottom or below and right side. What kind of squads one had i.e. 2 below 4 top etc.

Your right. It did force team work on 1 flag ctf and assault. Sadly not everyone was willing to work together for the sake of victory, most tried to go in solo to achieve victory on their own (At least from my experience whenever I played ctf or assault on Headlong).

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

The fact that you had to be everywhere at once. The sprawling metropolis of Headlong required you to have some members in that main building in the centre, some vechile drivers, banshees, and everywhere else to secure victory, while trying to get that flag. Good times, good times.

Lets talk Containment.

I loved Headlong. Halo 2 Team Snipers on Headlong was the only time I really enjoyed snipers. Best map that has yet to be remade.

  • 07.27.2011 10:11 AM PDT

I think it was the best BTB map of all time.

A Halo 2 player never dies, they are just Missing in Action

I thnk Oasis is a pretty cool guy. Eh sings Baetles songs and doesn’t afraid of anything

This map was great for anything, I always enjoyed any objective game on it and slayer too, great for messing about in customs as well. It is definately one of the Elite Halo maps and I think most people agree.

Terminal is great too, one of my favourites from the game

Not at all.

Halo 2 for Life!

One great things about this map was the crane attack strategy.

one needed a good sniper to help yeah though.

it was a important attack because one is out in the open but if you get across you get rockets which is very important.

if offense gets both rockets the game is pretty much won, unless defense has real good br'ers

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

As much as I would like Headlong back, maps from previous titles should not be remade because with the new physics engines, the maps never play the way they used to be, and feel off.

Halo 2 for Life!

yeah the hugest sign ever lol, cool stuff.

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!

The best asymmetrical BTB by far. Though it's sad Halo 2 has had the only asymmetrical BTB maps in the series. Reach and Halo 3 didn't, unless you want to count Sandtrap. lol

Reflection is a Halo 2 map and it plays good in Reach. You worry over nothing.

As much as I would really like it to be awesome I've already seen some decent remakes but either way it doesn't matter with all the boring greys and lack of decent framerate.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

i liked it because of its scenery. i miss those street cones, construction sites, buildings etc. that river and mary go round wheel also made it cozy. fun map for BTB or FFA sword only.
