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.

They are game ruining. Because right now you can't even send them cheating feedback. That is "part of the map", so to speak. Anbody can use it, without even knowing its there. So its not like a super jump, where you have to know how to super jump, to super jump. A level 1, who didn't even know how to shoot a BR could get behind a wall, and own. Because nobody could shoot him. They aren't even close to the Halo 3 shield walls, as those are both ways. You can not shoot through them at all. This is like being behind cover. Except, you can not be touched by grenades, rockets etc. And of course, you can return fire. You can't even give cheating feedback to people who use this, as its part of the map. in that, you don't need any special knowledge to exploit it. You just have to go around, and viola!! your protected from enemy fire. With the relic teleporter glitch, you could give cheating feedback. You had to know how to "crouch" and jump through it. But with this glitch? Its not possible to get a fair game on these maps. Already, maybe 1/5 games have a bouncer. With this kind of geometry in the map, its very likely that 100% of the games on these maps will be somehow affected by these walls. People will go behind them, and perhaps not even know they exist. They will just feel that "they own in that part of the map". Or people will go behind them because they do know. But unfortunately, all you have to do is walk behind it. And I can't even tell if i should give them cheating feedback, as quite obviously, this isn't a glitch like the bouncing. Its something that anybody can do without any knowledge.
