Just beat Halo 2 again and it made me depressed because I loved that Campaign.
Call it generic level-design, etc., but it's my favorite of the bunch and Halo 3's in reflection is a let-down.
H2 has a really great vibe about it. Also hate how Halo 3's armors are uber shiny, whereas H2's look dirty and awesome.
Bitch bitch, I know, but whatever. I love the game, but it's too bad. Still also not over no incendiary 'nades in MP.

That's what I really like about Halo 3's setup. Four grenades a piece is way too much, and in the multiplayer maps you won't find every grenade type. Only two per flavor, which is the way to go. It's got a much more balance between weapons, as well. If only they hadn't nerfed the Needler so much or nerfed the Magnum after the first update in Halo 2, maybe there would be some differences.Buckethead said:

No I gotcha. I do like how they separated them depending on map and all that, but I just thought fire grenades could be used for distractions/smoke-screens/etc.
I loved the bubble shields/energy drain, etc. but I just wanted them to go *all out* and thought that additions of fire/smoke/flash grenades would have added another layer to the MP.
But hey, awesome games and all that.

Fixed.
I was really hoping that Longshore was going to be a Headlong remake. Halo 3 lacks the epic BTB asymetrical maps from Halo 2. Ivory Tower is second on my list.
Sorry I couldn't play last night. I had just camped and golfed, and then had friends over for the night. Thanks for the numerous invites, though. It's great to know that people love me.

Ivory Tower, Sanctuary, and Headlong... I'm getting goosebumps lol. I'd like Colossus to be included in that pack as well.
So I played Squad Battle last night and was amazed at how dumb all my teammates were. On every single 1flag game I played, everyone abandoned the base immediately on defense. It's cool if 2-3 people go out to get some power weapons and come back, but everyone? How long has Halo been around and people still don't understand? rofl... except i wasn't last night. I'm hoping squad battle stays around though. It's basically a ranked BTB playlist, which means that I should eventually be able to get ranked high enough that I'm not playing with morons as often.
And I just thought of something. I'm already not a huge fan of vehicles littered all over a map, but I can remember in Halo2 on Coagulation how everyone scrambled for vehicles to get to the middle of the map quicker. At least it made vehicles have more of a purpose rather than people just getting into them so they can go on their running riot/splatter sprees, which I think shouldn't be possible in Halo. Man cannons totally negate the need to carpool in Halo3. Kind of sad.

I don't know what rank you're envisioning in your head but it's extremely tough to get above 40, not because of difficulty but because nobody is playing Squad Battle. And at relatively high levels you're gonna get paired up against full teams while you're by yourself which is an automatic loss.
I got to 45 in RBTB while it was around and was stuck there due to the dearth of players. Squad Battle feels that desolate around the 20s and 30s. Oh yeah and if you go in with a team and play another team on 1-sided objective games like Valhalla flag (which Shishka hasn't raised the round time limits above that of 4v4 objective Valhalla because he's a dunce) then you will rank down. Ties = rank down more often than not, and when you only get one chance to play a game per hour it gets very, very frustrating.
A double exp Squad Battle weekend would be a great way to infuse some new blood but that's not going to happen considering Team Objective has languished for far longer without Shishka doing anything about it. I mean the guy hasn't even updated the Matchmaking Playlists page on Bnet with a list of the new Team Mythic community maps. Too busy writing angry letters to Forgehub I guess.
Of all the small to mid size Halo 2 maps, I miss Turf the most. But that's because of Three Plots. Don't get me started on that again.
Two pictures.
In the past week or so, I've run into this several times. I can only remember it once in the past year and a half. Is this the new hotness on Valhalla, or have I just been lucky?
The newly tweaked Heavies on Valhalla is better. After the side lasers are used up, vehicles last much longer and there's generally more vehicular give and take before something blows up out of no where. My sense is, the side lasers are not needed at all, since after the first use they don't respawn. They aren't a factor after the first two minutes of the game. This may change as people learn to conceive that extra laser, but for now at least the first part of the game is just as crazy as before, and the rest plays much better. Haven't tried the other variants yet. Props to Shishka to tweaking this (at last). It's better.
All of which is a preambe to say, I had an enjoyable Heavies game on Valhalla, which hasn't happened in a long time. We capped our flag, winning the game, when the other team was right here with our third flag:
Shit was close.

Aye, just took a break for a bit. I was busy with school and I started to play WoW again...(Bad Idea). Quit that when the new maps rolled around and I'm back. I've been just lurking for a little while now.
I agree with Ghaleon though, I liked the new Heavies. Played it earlier with a friend.
Colossus and Sanctuary were two great, symmetrical maps that were great for almost anything. Capture the flag, bomb, Team Slayer, Team Snipers, and even Sanctuary was pretty great for 3 Plots. Sigh...
I did get to play a 4v4 on my map Access earlier. Since we began with AR starts, I'm figuring BR starts would be ideal for most all gametypes, if MM necessary. So Multi-CTF BRs and Team Slayer BRs would be the touch. I think Neutral Bomb would play the best, but I don't think they have a BR-start variant for Bomb, unless it's on a big map. I think there's a need for it on my map since the open exposure allows players to free roam and maneuver themselves, but with cover in the edges. The better players would destroy casuals on it if there were AR starts (though I do have three BR's in the base; not sure why they wouldn't pick them up )...

This is true -- Halo 3 is getting to be quite an old gal. When Bungie releases "Halo 4 made by Bungie. Not those Microsoft guys.", I could totally see them releasing a map pack that has the best maps from Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3 bundled together for like $20.00. Day. freaking. one.

This is sacrilege. I vow right now to go back and make Boarding Action work.
....That makes me wonder if someone's tried to remake Chiron Tl-34 or one of the other 'less possible to be remade' maps yet. :lol

I just want to distance myself from the goof-offs and quitters. I'm not overly concerned with getting to a specific high rank. If enough people try to rank up, perhaps it will help shorten the wait time to get into a new match. Over the weekend I saw around 8k people playing it, which is more than a lot of the other playlists.kylej said:

Yes we should just PLAY those Halo 2 maps ON Halo 2 instead of talking about how it should be in H3.
Friday. Everyone have your maps downloaded in advance.

I played an hour of halo 2 last night on a friends spare account. It was good fun (with the exception of SMG starts on Beaver Creek). I'm game for.....a game
Metroidvania said:
I know, right? I didn't really play much multiplayer in Halo: CE; 10 games at the most and even then, it was like Team Rockets on Blood Gultch or something super casual. (Go easy on me..
) I was always more of a Campaign guy. Even when Halo 2 came out, I only played like 400 multiplayer games tops. But again, I played the Campaign a lot more. BladedExpert[/quote said:
Yeah, all this talk about Halo 2 made me go back and play for a little bit last night. SMG starts are probably the worst thing ever, but good lord does the BR feel powerful. Team Hardcore FTW. I really wish there was a Bumper Jumper option, though. I can't stand going back to the default layout.

Glad to see we have a halo 2 night set up, i re-downloaded all the maps and stuff two weeks ago and been playing off and on, brings back a lot of high impact halo glitch days.

"Professionals" like how easy it is to jump on KevinRo.
