Shame that I think of Evangelion before Sinatra when I hear that...

 

[Trasher]

Right, which is why there is a lot more grenade spamming in Halo 3. :lol

Didn't people bitch and moan about grenade spamming more in Halo 2?

 

[Captain Blood]

Only on a select few maps. Halo 2 gave you the chance to carry 8 grenades at the same time. Halo 3 only allows 4 (in MM). Construct and Narrows are grenade HELL though for sure

When I picture grenade spam in my head I am up top of purple lift looking at 3 Spartans coming around the bend from gold all unloading nades........and I am afraid :lol

Possibly, I was just messing around when I posted that. :lol

Looks like Project Orion, the Halo MMO Game Informer heard about a few years back, was real.

Do not want. Looks like Halo: Everquest.

Yeah it's the same thing that we saw pics of before. Obviously cancelled.

 

[Tashi]

grenade spamming doesn't exist. Also, there are a lot of "good" maps in Halo 2 that didn't really work so well because of weapon locations and things like that. For example, Ivory Tower. Ivory tower suffered because there was every power weapon in the game on that map. Sniper, Plasma pistol (you fucking know it's a power weapon) Rockets, Sword and to a lesser extent shotgun. Lets not for get the overshield in the little glass tunnel. If you look at the locations of these weapons it's almost as though the map was created around the weapons. Now, I used to love Ivory Tower, but then I woke the fuck up.

Also, I seriously hope Heretic is a Midship remake. Like a real remake, with the same jumps and all that good stuff.

 

[Blueblur1]

Didn't people bitch and moan about grenade spamming more in Halo 2?

Yep. It was worse in Halo 2 when you could hold 8 grenades at a time.

 

[Tashi]

ohhhh and in better news, Bladed and I and one other guy on my friends list took it to ElamiteWarrior and 2 of his henchmen. Shit was exciting. I've always wanted, since starting Halo 2, to play against the best Halo players around.

Wait, so you beat ElamiteWarrior and sometimes I out-BR you, so therefore when I out-BR you, I am one of the best Halo players ever.

Logic rocks.

Cold Storage SWAT has got to go. The spawn killing is ridiculous >_>

 

[thatbox]

The real story was that during Halo 2's heyday people crabbed so much about how better Halo:CE had been that they actually needed their own website to properly express their vitriol.

We had a song, too

 

[backflip10019]

Just wait till we play together again. I'll go +15 every game.

You do that. Save me having to try I can get carried to MLG 50 by you and Tashi :lol

hahaha nah...but yo, how sick was that match against Elamite? The game started and I know you did the same thing I did. I looked at the gametype. I then looked at the opponents names casually, then looked again and realized it was ElamiteWarrior. Hahahaha. Everyone in the party was like, oh fuck! That was a great match, we pulled away nicely at the end there.

 

[Captain Blood]

lol that is actually pretty well done.

Do you have a high-res/wide aspect ratio version of that image? Because that's just about the most awesome thing I've seen.

Ever.

No widescreen, but hi-res can be found here.

[Stormtrooper30]

I know that this is from a few pages back, but this post baffled my mind.

Maybe it's just me, but a lot of the ones you bolded aren't insanely fun to play on. Burial Mounds, Headlong, Zanzibar, Elongation, Ivory Tower, Terminal, Foundation, Desolation, Tombstone, were all okay to bad maps.

Oh HELL no. Did you even play Halo 2? Burial Mounds was a great one sided map and is much better then High Ground in my opinion. Headlong is pretty much my favorite map of the series. Zanzibar is also an excellent one sided map. The defense had to defend multiple points in order to maintain map control, but the offense had tons of choices as to how they would assault the base. Terminal is a nice unique one sided map. And Ivory Tower is the best mid sized map in the trilogy if you ask me. It was small, but the open sight lines allowed the use of the sniper and BR effectively, with close quarters in the corridors below.
Come to think of it, Halo 2 had an amazing set of one sided maps. Halo 3 sort of took the symetric approach when it comes to big maps.

Ascension, Beaver Creek, Turf, Colossus, Midship, Backwash, were good maps. Ascension was just fucking amazing.

Fixed.

Gemini, Relic, Lockout, Containment, Coagulation and Waterworks were great maps.

That's how I'd break 'em down.

Besides the Gemini part, I agree with this statement. Waterworks could be epic at times.

Wait, I have that song. I downloaded the mp3 years ago. Its been in my iTunes ever since!

Burial Mounds was a great one sided map and is much better then High Ground in my opinion.

That's fine, never really liked Burial Mounds. Like Headlong, something about it just put me off. I guess because it's so... barren.

Zanzibar is also an excellent one sided map. The defense had to defend multiple points in order to maintain map control, but the offense had tons of choices as to how they would assault the base.

I hate Zanzibar, I hate Last Resort.

Terminal is a nice unique one sided map.

Like Burial Mounds and Headlong, something about it just puts me off.

It was small, but the open sight lines allowed the use of the sniper and BR effectively, with close quarters in the corridors below.

Didn't like it. All anybody did was stay in the sniper spawn.

Besides the Gemini part, I agree with this statement. Waterworks could be epic at times.

I love Gemini so much. I know I'm in the minority on that, but it was such a good map.

I figured once Gears 2 came out we'd never have to see you in here any longer. Can't you just play that game and complain about it in that thread? Eh, either way, I should've put you on ignore long ago.

Smashed sucks, get over it, find a game you enjoy. Bye.

He's probably still angry that Gears 2 MP still sucks even after the patch, there is just no hope for it. In other news, Halo 3 is still fun.

 

[Striker]

I don't know about you guys but the three maps that I personally miss the most from H2 are Midship, Beaver Creek and Sanctuary. All were incredibly fun to play on.

Halo 2 was great for awesome (x1000) symmetrical medium sized maps. That does not include, of course, Coagulation and Waterworks. So, by comparison to Halo 3, it wouldn't include Avalanche and Valhalla. There's a lack of great symmetrical maps on the plain. The Pit, Foundry-creations, Snowbound, Standoff, Narrows, Isolation are the symmetrical set for Halo 3. Standoff and Snowbound I enjoy very much. I'm speaking for Skirmish battles here, and they aren't quite on the level of 'fun' I had with Halo 2's set (Beaver Creek, Colossus, Elongation, Foundation, Midship, Sanctuary, Warlock). The 1-side Skirmish set doesn't even get close, either, in my view (fucking loved Terminal and Relic for Slayer, Skirmish, and Snipers).

You guys need to learn to read Sperm's posts the right way. :lol

There is a reason Atlas exists

Hey!

The following is a list of maps and their authors that have been added to Matchmaking after having run through the gauntlet that is the Atlas application process!

Congratulations!

These users will receive a new forum title: Map Maker. Further, they will be listed as the author of their map when the appropriate section of the official playlists page is updated.

Why did i not receive my 'new forum title: Map Maker'? Two of my maps have made it into Matchmaking

Just kidding. i do not care about titles or recognition. i only care that the maximum number of people are having the maximum amount of fun.

and, if Shishka happens to read this, check your inbox for changes to the Grifball map.

The Bungie beast has historically operated with map info on off-update weekdays. But nothing about this current release schedule or the Mythic Six has been by the book, so be warned.

Win.

They normally only do midweek announcements when they're putting out a press release along with it right? I can't see them making another press release as all the maps have already been officially announced (though their reveals were staggered as a mother fucker) and they won't really have anything to say until they can reveal a XBL release date.

I'm guessing Friday will be a glorious day.

Though the verbiage included is light on the specifics you've been demanding for so long, keep in mind this is only the opening salvo. Between now and March, there's plenty more to come. We're bringing our MAC cannons online and we're targeting next week.

The month of February will be glorious.

Team Flag in two weeks.

Please, please say this is true. Also I want an 80% High Ground weighting. One flag on High Ground held the Beta's finest memories for me which ever since the retail release havn't been repeated, until now. " I'l take Grav lift and deactivate the gate, you guys get Rockets and Ghost and preapre for entry!".

Team Objective needs to get axed and replaced by a Objective/Slayer 4v4 ranked list, just weight Obj. a little more in favor of slayer or have Obj. games skip to slayer on a veto. It's a shame that you never really get to enjoy stuff like 1 flag on HG...

I was actually reminiscing about the beta last night while playing a couple of games on High Ground. I miss the old carbine. I would love a permanent Team Flag playlist. CTF is the gametype that defined most of my Halo 1 memories. 1 flag on High Ground is awesome too.

Anyone have a link to the multiplayer map overviews?

I know I've seen a collection of them in the past, but now all I can find are silly heatmaps.
