Zanzibar is my all-time favorite map. This could be due to the semi-destructible terrain and the fact that I always have 20+ kills in a 10 minute, 4v4 game.

Edit: And the utter cheapness of the rocket launcher.

Ditto, it's my favorite map too. I just like the layout of it. And there's some cheap tactics for CTF games too.. like throwing the flag through the closed gate, and parking the warthog in front of the cave opening for a shortcut for the flag carrier...

I don't see what's so cheap about the Rocket Laucher though... except maybe it's too easy to access. Otherwise, don't take vehicles right away, which is exactly what I do. I just wait to use em til a little later.

Had a guy try that last night in a clan match. Little did he know that while he'd been off grabbing the flag, the gunner had been capped and replaced by someone that wasn't so friendly.

I've taken out the driver before without the gunner noticeing until I drove all the way back to the beach, away from our guys so he wasn't shooting them anymore (took it in front of the gate.)

When he got out I mearly backed over him.

I wish that we still had chiron. I loved that map. In fact it would be nice if bungie made it so that we could use all the old Halo maps with 2. I know that is wishful thinking but i miss sidewinder, hang em high, and Chiron.

King of the hill+immobile hill+shotguns+no shields=Carnage.

Chiron games in general = Carnage. Team Slayer Rockets is absoultly insane. Dead bodies everywhere and tons of TK's.

We have a custom game setting in Halo called Reflex. Shotguns, no shields, half health. It works best in Chiron.

A fun game we played was Plasma Grenades only on H1. it was unlimited Plasmas Grenades and that was all you could use. After playing it for a while i got really good at sticking people

bungie said they are thinking about putting maps from halo 1 as downloadable content for Halo 2.

16 people
1st weapon is put as sword 2nd weapon is put as shotgun.
50 or 100 kills
At any close quaters map like the 1st or the last one.

8-16 people CTF at coagualtion
random heavy vehicles
random light vehicles
guass hogs
start with pistols
random 2nd weapons
banshees on.
nobody can drive with flag or shoot weapons
3 flags to score

I'm just glad they did Coagulation. Fear my elite Banshee skills! I always head straight for the hangar first thing upon game start...

Maybe I'll link to my Halo 2 Stats in my sig...

I think I need to steal your idea so that I have a sig.

Ah, and my gamertag is Losonti. There was a thread about this, but it seems to me that thread necroing has a fine line.

It was time for my sig to go anyway. But yeah, several others stole my idea when I linked my stats in my sig elsewhere.

Ah. Well, despite the fact that I haven't played very many, I happen to like my head to head stats.

I admit I did. just now infact.

Death, it helps if you look up your own username in the member search. Otherwise it just directs us to our own stats.

Or an error message, in the case of those of us who don't have Xbox Live.

yay! The playlists were updated, so now there's also "all team slayer, all the time!"

It's one of the matchmaking choices, now?

Thoughts on the new playlists? I'm pretty much a Big Team Battle freak, so I'm happy to see Coagulation show up for more than just assault. The renaming to "Neutral Bomb Run" will also help as it seemed that folks were getting confused about what the hell to do on alot of assult maps like that, even ones with a good rank.

I'm quite happy to see Team Slayer removed from Team Skirmish. Slayer tends to be either you love it or hate it gametype for most...
