Coolest level

[halomaster58]

Out of all the halo2 multiplayer pictures, i just wanted to know which level looked the coolest to you, im trying to get everyones opinion on this, so help me out here. I particularly think that waterworks will be the coolest level, especially for ctf. It looks like it has a whole lot of sniping spotswhich is good 4 me. Zanzibar is lookin pretty cool also :cool: , but i think im gonna have to go with waterworks. Give me your opinion. Thnx

Burial Mounds is my favorite so far.

Burial Mounds is my favorite so far.
me too

I'd have to with earth city right now (or did you just mean multiplayer?), just because I wanted something urban in Halo 1. Hopefully its multiplayer compliment will be equally astounding.

[Variation-XBA]

Zanzabar looks badass to me:)

[halomaster58]

yes, i was talking about the multiplayer levels. as in
zanzibar
waterworks
burial mounds
lockout
and others but theyre unknown

Ok, then from what I've seen, I'd say Zanzibar looks the best since we've seen so much of it. Secondly, I'd have to go with burial mounds.

For some reason, I'm the most curious about Waterworks...of course, I'm curious about all of the multi-player maps, but, as for right now, I'd really be stoked to see more Waterworks :)

[SoundX]

The Waterworks level is looking very awsome, I voted for that. In my second it's deffinently the burial grounds. Caus that looks like it's a Xbox Live fave.

[halomaster58]

Ya, but zanzibar is looking pretty sweet right now also, all the secret entrances and i think its gonna be more like sidewinder, white sand, red blood :)

[MatrixMaul]

As of right now; Zanzibar is looking like its going to be the new Blood Gulch. This will probably be the choice of many for CTF.

I agree. Unless we see some footage of play from other levels, people are gonna be all over Zanzibar from Nov 9th until they play all of the levels.

Man, I'm debating on giving some of these maps a little walk through before going on-line...just one quick one...just so I don't seem like a fool out there!

Thats prolly a pretty good idea. Just run through each real quick to make a mental note of powerups and key item locations (if it's as predictable as Halo 1, which it most likely is not). This way when you get to XBL the levels won't be completely new to you.

[TheCovenant]

uh, i thihnk everyone is picking zanzibar cause its the only level that they have seen.

If anyone READ about any of the latter mentioned, they would have come across many inferences that stated water works payed the most homage to blood gulch.


anywho, water works looks to be the most fun.

Zanzibar looks okay. The thing is, i dont see a CTF game happening there. I think the only game you can play is that one way ctf thing they were talking about...

That would be a TWO flag CTF game unless CTF means two flags and ctf means single-flag assault. :p ;)

But when your right your right, unless there are some flag stands etc. we havent seen, or Zanzibar wasn't complete yet (which is likely).

[GuiltySpark]

Waterworks sounds crazy :cheers:

err, yea. It looks like you can only play single-flag assault on zanzibar. The map seems like it would be inconvinient for a CTF game. I guess it isn't finished. It WAS stated that the map can just not show up in halo 2 altogehter. Hmm, maybe, i guess, they can have variants of the map, which i dont think is likely since the multiplayer is rooted with the singlelayer campaign.

well, yea, waterworks is a huge indoor cavern, that basically works like a really, really, big blood gulch. (4x as big?)

http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/screenshots/H2_mp_waterworks_sniper-GI.jpg

its pretty simple. The cavern is under ground with one light source at the very top. theres a cental place for power ups and such. SNitping and such can be done here.




NOw htis just shows how big the map really is. Its also pretty. It can get high in some places especially because of.....

BANSHEES! now i didnt see any banshee's at ZAnzibar. You gotta know that banshee's change strategies a lot. And you cant say that pic doesnt look fun as hell.

Yup, definatly waterworks. ZAnzibar seems like a cool n00b map....you know, to get you started, but water works looks like where its at.



EDIT- I think I linked to the pictures you wanted. At least I hope so. :) -ZeroFlaw-XBA

[E Nomini Patri]

Juni0r, link to the pictures from BNet. Don't waste time with crappy ImageStation links.

[halomaster58]

ya, this covenant kid knows what hes talkin about. i mean waterworks looks amazing and zanzibar on the other hand does look good, but doesnt look like u can do as much as u can in waterworks. So in my opinion again its gonna be waterworks.

[themoosearmy]

n00b map? In my opinion, you should be able to own on any of the maps. In what way does a map become n00b map? Because it doesn't allow two flag CTF? Because it is small?

I'm not trying to be disconcerning, just wondering why you think Zanzibar is a n00b map.

well it was the first map to get everyone started. It was also the map where everyone learned how to play. It was basically, a n00b map. No one at the show was good, except for bungie guys, and it was a bunch of n00bs duking it out, and pwning and what not. Everyone seems to get t know how to play at this map.

hence, n00b map :D

oh yea, frankie (bungie weekly updates) also mentioned that this map might now even make it to the final build. So, really, this was just a map to play at e3 so everyone could learn the basics.....

That last part contributes to my point, but im not saying that the map will definatly not make it. Im just saying anything is possible.

very organized, zero, props.

err, eProps.....


And thanx for linking my pics dude, but you linked the wrong ones. You dont have to change them or anything, but like, on the first map, i was that birds eye view of waterworks maps. It was pencil and paper design, nothing big, just so peolpe understand how the level works.

Thanx again for fixing my html crisis. :D

here is the map for people who are wondering what the ehf im talking aboout.http://bungie.net/images/Games/Halo2/Gallery/Concept/waterworks_concept.jpg

Thats so sexy- its like my new sidewinder!

[lax_defense]

After looking at all those pics zero(thanks, btw) I think Lockout looks the best. ITs like a multiplayer Assault on the Control Room!

[ScorpionX]

Yea Lockout looks like it has a great layout, and there doesn't seem to be any vehicles! :cool:

"Remind me to hose you two off when we get back"

Yeah, lockout looks like its gonna be another fast paced map. Sometging crossed between Derelict and Prisoner, but both are on steroid going 100mph...well...you get the idea.

(Flaming Ninjas ensue) :yikes:

Rinsing your head in shampoo! Duh! :confused:

how messy.



lockout seems like the funnest......(most fun), map that doesnt invoolve vehicles. They said it was very close quarters, and in a 16 player game, pretty much forces open firefights at evbery hallway and corner.

sounds fun, but also sounds like unreal championship. No strategy, just fire whatever you got in a forward direction.
