Guardian is the best King of the Hill map in all three games.

i like guardian a lot, but i miss lockout
and foundation
how am i going to do my 4vs4vs4vs4 1 flag ctf no shield games?
Why would I add Urk to my IL? He's entertaining in a good way, not a "Oh look, that guy with his head up his ass is back, let's laugh at his idiocy" way.thekad said:
AND SPEAKING OF GUARDIAN: I'm a big fan of it. Like it better than Lockout, which isn't a huge compliment, since I always thought Lockout was overrated.
I don't know why, but my MP maps taste is seriously different from that of most people. Big Snowbound fan. Hate Zanzibar/ Last Resort.

I love Last Resort! I like most of the maps but some do irk me in one way or another. Construct too large for its own good and in my experience players stick to the top level with Maulers and Swords.the disgruntled gamer said:
Like someone else mentioned, Narrows can be a campfest and Crazy King on it can be extremely frustrating in FFA. I always veto that map. The maps are pretty good but nothing stands out to me as amazing or super awesome. They're just pretty good. I'd appreciate more maps but designs in vein of classic Halo 1 and 2 maps. I'd love to see Damnation, Chillout, Midship and Colossus again among many others. (Maybe Hell will freeze over and we'll get a Prisoner or Rat Race remake.)

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a lot of time to spend on the game (or any game for that matter) but I had the day off yesterday and wasted it collecting all the skulls - what a pain in the ass. The Catch and Cowbells skulls in particular had me nearly pulling my hair out in frustration. Infact it was only by dumb luck that I was able to snag the Catch skull. The Warthog I was driving got blown so far into the air that it landed square ontop of the silo. I was so freakin' dumb struck by the whole thing that it took me a good 5 seconds or so to understand what the hell happened. By the time I got out of the Warthog everyone in the area had their weapons focused on me and I died just as I picked up the skull. Thankfully the game registered that I found the damn thing.
Ugh. Thank god that skull shit is over.

It seems like the catch skull barely changes the frequency of throws relative to the already insane amount of grenade use by the AI.
I had to go down to normal just to make it reasonable to play the meta game.
Nothing is more tiring than completing an area only to get randomly stuck just before the next checkpoint. *le sigh*

lulz.
The only map I really dislike is Isolation, because it seems as if it's a constant respawn and get killed map, it's a vicious cycle on that map. :lol
Construct is great, it can be frustrating against really good people, but on the whole it's a cool map, I love Epitaph for 2v2. I understand wanting Midship/Lockout back, but Terminal and Headlong? Those maps had way too much camping in certain modes, and the whole spawning up top on Terminal with no way up made me want to break my disc on many occasions. I'd like to see an Ivory Tower remake though, that and Midship, could care less about the rest of Halo 2's maps, 7k games on those, I'll pass.
Oh and High Ground is the best map ever, if they would just sort out the spawns on some games.

QFT. Terminal was a nightmare of a map for TSlayer or TSnipers. Camping is a legitimate strategy (also a lame one) but on that map it reached ridiculous levels. Objective games were cool though. And at least 7k games on those for me too is more than i'll ever need!
And no, my stats havn't updated since Wednesday/Thursday

I agree the lack of decent BTB maps. Why was High Ground removed from the BTB playlist when it was in the beta? It worked pretty well...
I'm all for seeing small maps in BTB just so we can get something different other than 2 different maps.
Headlong remake is welcome, will pay as much as possible for it :lol

Ok I need help I guess... I just played through the whole game from start to finish doing metascores and Terminals... Each terminal I watched untill it flashed red etc. etc. when A no longer did anything I pressed B. I remember 1 terminal not turning red though. When I got to the last terminal it didn't give me my marathon man ((
Anyone have any ideas what I did wrong?
I watched it from start to finish. I even left one on while i went to the bathroom, came back hit A some more and it still didn't move. It just said "terminal ended unexpectedly" in text on the screen so i figured that one wasn't supposed to turn red..

All the terminals turn red as far as I remember.
My friend and I randomly started a game of co-op (on Normal) and FINALLY finished the game...last night at 3am :lol We really had no intention of beating the game but once we got playing, we just got too far to stop.
And I was playing the game with my stereo on so I only got maybe 50% of the story. But in the end,

I've been playing Lone Wolf (and my roommate does the Team Slayer) since the game came out. I've never played Halo on Xbox Live before and I instantly became addicted.
I'm up to a 21 on Lone Wolf
(and I LOATHE Shotty Snipers).

You missed a part of the ending, just like I did and a friend of mine aswell. And I'm sure, a lot of other people.
After the ending a little "thank you" text by Bungie is shown. Here you need to wait -- not press "A" like most people would think. After a little while the credits start rolling and then you'll se the last part of the ending.

No, you don't, I'm sure you can deal with it fine. I know I can. Doesn't make it any better. It's just that any person with something even relatable to "taste" knows that shotty snipers is crap redefined into something unholy disguising itself as gameplay.

I need to get a game on with some gaffers one of these days. I'm sure getting humiliated by you guys is awesome.
Played Construct last night and was forced to go up all three lifts every time to get near the guys on the other team. It became quite frustrating. They would sit in that room where the purple lifts end with either a Flamethrower or have fun with equipment. That's all I went through the entire game.
As of now, Construct and Guardian (maybe if I played 4v4 Slayer or an objective in it, I might grow to like it) are my least-liked maps. Isolation can be okay sometimes.
Last Resort is my favorite map, as it stands.

Using the big 4 during meta games:
# Tough Luck Skull
# Catch Skull
# Fog Skull
# Famine Skull
How much harder would it be if I turned off famine? I'm struggling with some of these because I don't have ammo. I'm having to skip kills ect. Don't say "I had no problem you must just suck!"
Well whatever the reason is, I AM having trouble with ammo.. Would it make it much more difficult dropping famine and just using 3 skulls?
I only have 3 stages left. Their all repeats I have to do.
The last 2 stages I didn't make the cut because of time and no ammo. And the other was the long stage where you pretty much use rides the whole time and kill the 2 scarabs.

When I have famine enabled, I pick up the turrets as much as possible, and use dropped enemy weapons whenever possible, then go back to my weapons when they run out. And melee, of course. Maybe turn on the field promotion skull (forgot what it was called) instead.
