Subject: Colossus: Underrated and Rarely Played

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

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

Colossus is the one map in Halo 2 that nobody ever talks about. I think the other great BTB maps overshadowed Colossus in Matchmaking, but then again, the % of landing Colossus in a playlist was extremely low! That is why I think I loved it so much, because a match on this map felt rare and special.

Rumble Pit: 1 Game Type - (Rumble Snipers)
Double Team: 0 Game Types - (Understandable)
Team Slayer: 1 Game Type - (Team Rifles)
Team Skirmish: 2 Game Types - (Multi Flag CTF Human and Team Ball)
Team Training: 0 Game Types
Team Snipers: 0 Game Types - (WHAT!?)
Team Hardcore: 0 Game Types
Big Team Battle: 1 Game Type - (Team Slayer BR)
Team SWAT: 0 Game Types
H2 Challenge: 1 Game Type - (Rumble Snipers)

Is it safe to say that Colossus had the least amount of weighting in Halo 2 Matchmaking when looking at all the playlists pre-shutdown? All of that DLC must of flooded it out!

Some gameplay on the map to refresh some of your memories.

<3 Colossus.

Edit: Just to clarify, that is not my gameplay...just some random video I found on YT.

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).

I could have sworn I had seen it in Team Snipers. I'm probably just remembering custom games. I know I'd love to see a remake of it.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I liked playing snipers on that map, along with custom swat with a big group of players. Good map, shame it didn't show up in matchmaking often. I also don't remember anyone ever glitching off that map like the others whenever that map was chosen in matchmaking. Anyone know if there is any worthwhile glitches/bounces on that map?

Straight Edge.

I loved that map.

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

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

it was alright

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!

Loved the map for Team Skirmish and Team Rifles. Also good for Team Snipers.

2-flag and 2-bomb were intense.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

back in the glory days me and my friends would play it once a week. but im more of a juggernaut player so warlock, ascension and relic suited me more.

there was one that was semi decent where you could get on a ledge way up after you go through the lift, but no not really i think because it was an enclosed space the glitch possibilities were limited

I never really knew the name back when I played halo 2 a lot... thus, I could never talk about "Colossus," rather just "that cargo hold like place" which nobody but my Trekkie friends understood.

Yeah, it didn't get as much play as it should've later on but it was definitely good times, snipers and CTF worked well, even managed to have some fun custom 2v2s on it. The way the flag would bounce after a toss or get stuck in the lift was pure hilarity.
