Good FFA map.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

High Ground is/was terrible.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

I like it for one sided objective, but I think it comes up a bit too much in slayer personally

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I have many a find memory of High Ground, such as coming second only to a 5 Star General in SWAT and getting a Killing Frenzy with the carbine

LOL. You can't be serious. Let's examine High Ground for a moment:

If you spawn base, you win.
The whole map's focal point is L3, which is far closer to base spawn than beach spawn.
The Ghosts are fairly pointless.
At 50 high, High Ground is one of the slowest maps out there.

Like ColossalDave said, it's not bad for objective, but for Slayer it's miserable.

I was willing it to come up in lone wolves, it was good for the 2 for 1 achievement.

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

Good for objective. Unbalanced for fair team slayer. Otherwise a fun map.

I definitely believe every wildly inflated claim ITT.

Weow kid, do you even lift?

high ground should be removed from everything.

I've had some good times while playing on High Ground, but I wouldn't say that it's the best map for Team Slayer. I only really like High Ground on objective gametypes.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

Highground came up too often in slayer, and depending on who you played, it was awful.

Still it had its moments, and I liked it occasionally.

  • 05.29.2012 11:44 AM PDT

I run Skirmish!!!

I've only liked it in skirmish because the spawns aren't -blam!- up then. The map with team slayer just sucks...

  • 05.29.2012 12:30 PM PDT

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

Great map. I loved the map in Team Objective and Skirmish.

It's fun if you get really strong map control. I remember one game I played while searching in 4s.....we basically just camped beach the entire game and didnt' push once, even on the initial spawn. The enemy push really hard over open ground and we wrecked them. That's about the only time I've had fun in Slayer on High Ground.

High Ground is a great map. I really like all maps in Halo 3 other than Snowbound and Longshore.

.......so you enojyed Orbital?

I understand your dislike of Snowbound: You have to turn into a noob to even win on that map. Longshore is decent for 1-sided objective, although it sucks for everything else.

Back since my original tag I had a lot of memories on that map. Many close doubles games. Later I learned the HLG jumps and found sniping extremely satisfying. I really did like that map.

I also like Snowbound a lot, too. Beam Rifle. Nuff said.

IMO Worst map: Blackout. Unfair spawns and just terrible angles. I'm also not a fan of Halo 2 maps in general, but Blackout is exceptionally worse than Lockout.

Orbital is a good swat map. I also like sniping on it in team slayer and objective.
