Subject: Halo 2 maps are bad.

Indisputable Facts:
ODST >>>>>>> H1
H3 >>>>>>> H2

Worse than Reach even. I've never seen such poorly designed maps in an FPS. Hell one of them is from a 1995 game Marathon 2 so that might explain it. Lockout in particular is just boring and offers not tactics. The spawns are god awful that players can spawn right in front of your face. Zanzibar is just not nearly as good as the Halo 3 version Last Resort. The super bounce is particularly easy on this map and requires zero skill while the halo 3 actually has a few tactical jumps which are useful and take time to learn the timing.

Then there's Beaver Creek. This map just sucks. How idiots find this competitive I don't know? Rule #1 don't put teleporters on maps if you're trying to be competitive. The map flow is so campy and the map has random sides that gives unfair advantage to one team. The Pit is a much more fair map which much more strategy and teamwork required as well as skill. The map is also more fair for sniping and relies on skilled angles instead of just a straight open map.

Yeah, Halo 2 was pretty bad which is why in 2007 Cod 4 and Halo 3 revolutionized the shooter genre.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

Lockout is one of the most tactical maps in the franchise.

BC is anything but campy, there's nothing 'random' about it, and there's nothing wrong with teleporters.

The Pit is awful. If you prefer that piece of -blam!- to BC and Lockout then you're just a dunce.

Textbook Halo 3 kid.

I hope you realize that Bungie made Marathon/M2/MI.

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

Keep it authentic...

In my opinion Halo 2 had by far the the best maps and highest percentage of good maps in any Halo game.

Are you kidding me? Who the hell are you!? Halo 2 was god damn amazing. Ascension, ivory tower? Not to mention the awesome dlc maps!

freakin lil kid... you were prob 4 when the game came out.

I dont like halo2 maps(but lockout and foundation) but what your saying is complete and utter bullsh reach maps were awful

  • 05.19.2012 2:40 PM PDT

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.


Posted by: Uneducated Elite


I rest my case.

Now hang on, Reach had some good maps (Forge World, Noble Map Pack) So it didn't suck as much. However, nothing will ever beat Turf for me. Oh how I loved that map :D

I love both Lockout and Beaver Creek. I also love The Pit. I actually thought that it was one of the few maps to equal Halo 2's superb design.
