Nice Try Certain Affinity, but..
..the maps are no good. [b]*EDIT*[/b] Tombstone is fine, sort of, but Halo 2 broke it. [b]*EDIT*[/b] I was so excited to finally play Hang 'Em High for Halo 2 because of course everyone loved it so much in Halo 1, but I forgot what made Hang 'em High fun; the pistol. No, this isn't a 'OMG h1>h2' thread or anything like that, I'm just saying that for some reason when Bungie made Halo 2, they decided it was ok to not be able to shoot more than 100 feet. Bullets somehow [i]dissapear[/i] if they're too far away, and do no damage what so ever. Oh wait, not if your host! This is what ruined Tombstone for me. I played a game on it up to 50 kills, and at the end, the host has 28 kills on our team. No more camoflauge? Thanks guys. It's pretty hard to make it across this map without dieing, which was the whole point of Active Camo. The map is pretty open in the middle and by tombstones and with active camo, it actually let you get across the map un-noticed. Not saying you can't now, it's just a lot, lot, harder. [sarcasm]Oh yeah, and the weapon placing of the sword and sniper? Good job certain affinity.[/sarcasm]
Oh and C.A., nice try on trying to make it feel Halo 1-ish with the default BR start and default SMG secondary though. I'm surpised Bungie let that fly.
Overall, Tombstone just doesn't work for anything other than some random fun gametypes like snipers, etc.
You guys also managed to break Desolation by only allowing a person to get on top from only 4 PLACES. (TWO of which are lifts, which make it more obvious than EVER that your there). Once a team sets up the right way, theres no way they could stand a chance without acsess to any overshields or sword or anything. Those little hallways by lifts would be very easy to watch, and then well, if anyone ever goes up a lift, your gonna know.
Overall, I'm disapointed in the maps. I played plenty gametypes on both of them and just don't feel like I should of spent any money at all on them. I regret the 4 dollars I just spent.
Discuss your feelings in this thread, and lets try not to make 50 "I Dont like the maps" threads.

WHAT IS WITH ALL OF YOU CHILDREN IN HERE!!! H1 is not and WILL NEVER be H2 or is greater than or whatever else because they are different games and different features! This is also the case when they remake maps guys! I feel like Im repeating a lot of other people in here but this really has to be said in defence of a great pair of new maps. Ok tombstone- yes its easier for blue to get the sniper and the sword. Hmm.... Ok if your going to play team games choose another one if you dont like it! As for countering this "advantage" of the blue base (i know this has been said) but hello - rockets anyone (Im hearing lots of N00b comments and other flames coming here) I was playing them today and it was 1v1 on my xbox at home. Bro had the sniper and had me pinned. I used the EXTRA COVER in red base to get the ROCKET LAUNCHER and then used the EXTRA COVER AT RED BASE to get into a good spot to fire off a couple of rockets (if you know how to use a rocket launcher well you could imagine what I did here) now he did survive but thats why I switched to my BR and began firing while he was running from my rockets. Nuff Said I reckon. Yes there are rockets look around a bit. Desolation- Mate its fast paced and full of action- FFA!!! Yeah it is great for ffa, theres cover ups and downs and most weapons you would want to kill people with. It would make for an equally fast paced and challenging CTF or territories. I like the lifts- they are a great trap but they are also a great way to move about. The halls with the shottys is great cuz it makes it interesting to grab a hold of one. Now whats all this about super bouncing and magic walls? WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!?!?! I have never found any of this stuff on these or any other maps! Frankly I play them for the fun of playing them- not trying to find glitches so i can beat people easier or anything! People get so competitive with this matchmaking thing- I believe it was intended as a way of levelling the playing field to stop games where new players or less experienced players werent always getting their butts kicked by someone who is very good at the game- hence making the online gameplay better for said inexperienced players because they get a chance to get some kills and build their skills (no rhyming intended there). IF YOU DONT LIKE IT WHY WHINGE LIKE CHILDREN? GO AND PLAY SOMETHING ELSE OR GO OUTSIDE AND RIDE A BIKE! WE ARENT MAKING YOU PLAY HALO 2 SO GO BACK TO YOUR BELOVED HALO 1 AND HOLD A SERIES OF LAN PARTIES I apologise for repeating SO many peoples ideas but these things i mentioned were going through my head as i was reading through this post. Glad to see so many like minded people who enjoy games for that purpose -ENJOYMENT
