Subject: What are the best maps for 1v1's in Halo PC?

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

I always thought that Halo 1 was the only Halo where 1v1's really mattered. I remember it was all about controlling the power ups and map in ways that the other Halo titles failed to recapture. I wanted to get some of your opinions on what maps delivered the best 1v1's in terms of balance and competitiveness.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Syx has the right idea. I'd put 'em in a different order personally, but yeah, those are the best maps for 1v1's.

Too large, Raven. DusK and Syx have it right on the money.

Also, don't forget Battle Creek.

That's the idea. A lot of psuedo-pros try to challenge people to 1v1s on BG. Tetris made a joke.

Too big imo. Anything less than 4 players on that map draws the match out too long.

What would be the order you'd put them in?

I'd just swap Rat Race and Wizard.

Hmmm, interesting. I was thinking Wizard and Derelict would be the best, but what the heck do I know? Thanks for the replies!

Oh, speaking of small maps...how would Longest work for 1v1's? I remember Syx saying it was one of his most disliked maps of all time.

The extremely narrow passage ways make for too cramped of an experience. It becomes easier to just spam grenades. It's hell to strafe. It's just not good for any sort of gameplay at all. Even in a 1v1 situation. :/

On a side note: Elongation (Halo 2) is a lot better. They widened the hallways and made it a lot more dynamic with the bridges/crates. Completely turned things around for that map.

Lol I must of forgot how bad of a map that was?

One last question from the OP. Do you guys play with camo and overshield? I remember controlling the power ups was one of the awesome aspects of Combat Evolved 1v1's. Or do you guys prefer just an all out Pistol match?

Just to make things clear: I do not play Halo PC, but I have been reflecting on memories from the box.

Well... You can't exactly take away the overshields/active camo when it comes to Combat Evolved gametypes. However, in my mod I'm making (loliforgotaboutthat >.>) I'm taking all the power ups out. Always felt Halo was better off without it on a competitive level. Just fluff that gets in the way and screws with the skill gap. Definitely in a 1v1 environment.

Most people just use honor rules when it comes to using power ups, though. I know that most of the people I've played against will just call off the match completely if you touch an overshield, rocket launcher, flamethrower, or fuel rod gun. Active Camo seems to be fine by most, but I still see it as fluff.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I hear there's a map in Halo CE called "Yoyorast Island" or something along those lines. Never played it, but it sounds ideal for 1v1s!

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Isn't Yoyorast, like, really -blam!- big? I've only played a couple of matches on v2 and the players only knew Spanish so I couldn't get an experienced opinion on it.

My cousin made me do 1v1's on BG on his old Xbox. He was supposedly a "Halo God". Now I kick his butt. Btw, he plays Reach...n00b.

I forgot how to do quotes :|
