Which Bomb game type did you find the most enjoyable when playing Big Team Battle on Halo 2? These were the games and maps that Matchmaking had to offer during the end of the XBL days:

Assault (Offensive Team tries to plant the bomb and the Defensive Team tries to defend the base).
Headlong, Terminal, Zanzibar

Multi Bomb (Both teams start out with a bomb and try to plant it in the enemy base).
Coagulation, Containment, Waterworks

Neutral Bomb (One bomb in the middle of the map that both teams fight for control over).
Coagulation, Containment, Waterworks

I always loved Assault. The simplicity of the idea was great, but the gameplay was so diverse. I mean the amount of ways to defend and attack was so awesome. Plus the fact that it was a asymmetric gametype allowed it to play on my favorite maps. (Headlong, terminal, and zanzibar were my top 3 maps lol.)

Assault was great. That offense/defense mode always provided that one intense moment where both teams would collide at the bomb site and only one team could be successful at defending/planting. Zanzibar was always my favorite map for this.

Multi Bomb was fun too because I always thought of it as a CTF match, but in reverse. Both teams had bombs and had to enter the enemy base, but you had to be careful not to leave you base defenseless as you carried out the mission to plant your own bomb.

Neutral Bomb, however, was my favorite. It was the most intense bomb game IMO. Unlike 1 Flag CTF where you could get lucky and grab the flag then quickly retreat back to your base, Neutral Bomb made it so you were never retreating but instead always pushing into the enemy base. Even if you died, you knew the team that was charging had to enter your base to plant so there was always so much action.

Good times I will never get to re-experience.

Even though I never played it online, I would always stick in a game of Single Bomb when I would have a system link party with a few friends. Like you mention, when both teams fight it out over the bomb plant was awesome. Getting killed on defense when the team is in your base, then respawning just outside and then quickly scramble inside was always a blast and resulted in plenty of cheers when defense held the attacking team off in a close round.

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!

One bomb.

So memorable on maps like Terminal, Headlong, Burial Mounds, Turf, and Zanzibar...
