Pariah's comin out soon... it looks pretty good, and it has a map editor :p

Yeah, but I bet it wont have a playable duck... :p Nothing will ever replace TS. But I'll give Pariah a go...


Anyways, what would you rate the Map Pack on a scale of one to ten?

Anyways, what would you rate the Map Pack on a scale of one to ten?

Containment: 8/10 - Very nice map. The snowey enviroment is awesome, and reminds me of Sidewinder, which I loved, and the Library in the background is beautiful. The bases are huge, and the ramps that lower and rise are cool.

Sanctuary: 9/10 - My favorite map. The Red base is dead. No life, no scenery, nothing. Blue base, however, is very nice. There's waterfalls, ponds, green grass, vines...... The middle structure also looks very nice, as do the sides.

Turf: 7/10 - When I first heard about it, it seemed pretty cool, but when I went to play it, well... it was cool, but it reminded me too much of Counter Strike. I dunno... it just felt wierd and somewhat out of place.

Warlock: 8/10 - One of my favorite maps in Halo:CE was Wizard, and I believe they did a fine job transferring it over to Halo 2.

Overall: 8/10

lets hope the next 5 are just as good


EDIT: Backwash- the last of the remaining 5 maps to be revealed has been.... revealed. It's set in a 343 GS- esque swamp!

Cool Relic has sniper towers (Silent Cartographer here I come).

Sheriff-Murder 05-11-2005 02:29 AM

has somebody tried this glitch?
1 player uses a wraith, the other1 uses a ghost.
the ghost drives backwards into a wall and the wraith boosts into the front of the ghost, the ghost flies spinning through the air through the invisible wall and can land on the highest buildings! its really fun, get the ghost to shoot while its spinning it looks funny if the other player watches it.

Alpha 05-11-2005 01:19 PM

Yep it works better with a warthog and scorpian.

sligster 05-29-2005 11:22 PM

if any of you play Halo: Custom Edition for Halo PC, then you've probobly heard about the Zelda mod.

For all of you anxious to see this Zelda mod, beta footage has been released, and it looks amazing. I might just reinstall Halo PC.

LOL.

Thats ok...

The youngest registered pro gamer, Lil Poison, is 7 years old. And I mean, PRO. I've seen vids of him playing... it's amazing... extremely hard to believe he's 7.

his site: http://www.lilpoison.com/

Alpha 05-30-2005 10:34 AM

Very bright kid yep lilpoison is great just show's yo how smart kid's are

Leto 05-30-2005 10:43 PM

Probably just a 30 year old with testicular problems scamming. (Sorry, I don't really trust much people)

Heh. I've been playing with this guy called whiteindian (We get pwned on Halo 2 together! :p), and all this time I didn't know it was the guy I sit next to in form class. Hwayo!

Apparently the Killer Map Pack thing is free on the 28th of June. It just says that at the download page.

Cool how little coincidences can happen like that, huh? :p

And actually, the Map Pack has been pushed back to July 5. The DL page hasn't been updated.

Leto 05-31-2005 11:09 PM

I mean just the maps thjat arent free are free on the 28th. It's all good.

Hey, we sucked tonight, eh? :p It's what you get from TS3 players and small indians.

actually, the download has also been pushed back to the 5th. Quote from Frankie:

:

It'll be on store shelves (or available for download) on July 5th.

not just an indian.... but a WHITE indian!

Leto 06-01-2005 11:09 PM

Yep, he's pretty white. But his guest was even worse... I mean, for a kill to suicide ratio, he had 1:8. :p He thinks 'B' is jump. Idiot.

Gak! You know how there are four maps avaliable for download currently? The ones that cost and the ones that don't? The ones that don't are supposedly free on the 28th. Well, on the download page it says that.

yea, I don't think they can update that page without an autoupdate download, which would be pointless if it was just for that.

Alpha 06-03-2005 02:47 AM

And I will just wait two days......

Leto 06-04-2005 04:34 PM

Sorry, but whadafak? Please, actually consider tetlling us what you speak of before clicking the 'post spam' button.

Alpha 06-08-2005 10:05 AM

Sorry I use to think that it was coming out june 5th but I made a mistake it's July 10th

Leto 06-09-2005 12:47 AM

Aw dang. :p And we have to wait a lot longer over here, so I do hope it hasn't been delayed EVEN LONGER.

Alpha 06-09-2005 06:46 AM

Whoops typed it wrong I meant July 5th! (I was thinking about my B.Day..)

Al the Vykker 06-14-2005 11:40 PM

The best edition I think from this playlist update, was "Double Team." I mean given sometimes you do have to do other gametypes besides team slayer my friend who hasn't played in months played together with me and it was a lot of fun nice and simple 2 Vs 2. I'm looking forward to backwash with those new maps in July.

Sheriff-Murder 06-16-2005 02:17 AM

Are u extremely retarded or dont u have any eyes?
halo 2 has been out in stores, for a very long time now!

We are discussing the Halo 2 Map Expansion coming out in July. It will be availble to buy in stores next month, or download through Xbox Live. None of us are retarded.

Backwash that I mentioned is a new map coming out in the expansion. My other talk (not sure who you were referring to in your post so I'll clarify anyway) was about the latest playlist update on xbox live that features the ability for 2 people to team up against two other people for ranked team slayer and other game types.

You're stupid. Read the last page.

One thing I'd like to bitch about it lag. I mean, whenever I play Rockets on Foundation, I fire, it travels foward, then jumps straight back, then travels foward again. O.o

Al the Vykker 06-17-2005 01:48 PM

I've been noticing more and more problems with lag lately on Halo 2. I'm not sure its coming from me cuz Im running on a cable connection, but maybe comcast is to blame. *shrug*

Sheriff-Murder 06-20-2005 02:17 AM

Sry, i just saw 1 typed:
Halo 2 is set back to 5th june.

Cant find the reply though...

Quite allright. Sorry if I myself sounded a little over zealous there as well. :)

sligster 07-05-2005 03:45 PM

Last 5 maps are out.

Backwash isn't really as fun as they lead on.

Gemini is interesting, and unique.

Relic is a really fun CTF map.

Elongation is ok.

Terminal, I absolutely love. The train is awesome.

Esus 07-05-2005 03:53 PM

They're all just ok.

Relic is good for CTF, but I can't help but get annoyed when playing it on it. Dunno why, but it just inherently annoys me.
Backwash, is my favourite. It's not that great, but it beats the others. Only because of the fog and the fact you can completely lose somebody just by running around a nearby tree.
Gemini: Has some nice elements, but it felt a tad... boring. Not different enough to any other map.
Elongation is boring. Worst of the bunch. Just like Warlock was. Just like Coagulation was. See a pattern?
Terminal.... is pretty darn good. Just worse than Backwash. The train is brilliant, but it's a background feature. I was hoping it would integral to the map, but you can completely ignore the tracks (and thus, the danger) if you want. I love the various rooms on it - phone machines, car garage, car park etc, but it fails to do much for me. I spend most of my time messing around the train.

Al the Vykker 07-05-2005 06:11 PM

I might chip in with someone to buy the disc just so I can pass it around with friends and they dont have to spend the money downloading the five new ones.

Leto 07-05-2005 09:22 PM

**** yeah. Didn't Bungie think one person would buy it then pass it on to the rest of their friends?

Al the Vykker 07-05-2005 10:16 PM

Maybe it was their "gift" to all of us. ;)

Leto 07-05-2005 10:18 PM

Perhapz. I guess they made enough money off the game itself, anyways...

For you people who have it, how many blocks are we talking about here? Blocks of space it takes up, that is.

sligster 07-06-2005 02:37 AM

:

**** yeah. Didn't Bungie think one person would buy it then pass it on to the rest of their friends?

actually, that was one of the key points they were trying to get at

Leto 07-17-2005 03:13 AM

As to lose money? O.o I don't get you.

Oh yeah, is anyone excited about Halo 3?

Are they actually making it now? If they are then
HELL YEAH, I cant wait :D

Leto 07-17-2005 04:28 AM

Well, it's been announced that it's being made... For Xbox 360 AND get this, Ps3. Simultaneous launch when Ps3 comes out.

But otherwise, no news. Hence my fat squirrel sarchasm. :p

Software Bug 07-18-2005 11:11 AM

Man , I just played Halo 2 on live (with modded xbox)
I dont have mods bechause i hate cheaters and such but i like burning games since i dont have a very big money bag:p
And again i encounter ****ing cheaters.
Those guys piss me off.
They are flying everywhere.
This time i hope bungie is fixing the cheating.
