OMG  elongation is one of the new maps that were announced. its the sequel to Longest (from the first halo). they only released the pics of containment, turf, sanctuary, and warlock so far (for halo2's new maps) however, more pics of containment and the first ever released pic of Elongation are now online. but the pic that Tru tried to post was locked cuz of the traffic limit. so im just wondering where i can find my first glimpse at the new map that is now the 5th map that a screenshot has been released for. |

I saw the pics that Tru posted, but I don't think they included elongation.

OK, sorry, that was over the top.

yeah what a gay name. im really upset that instead of building a new map out of the infinite possibilities available, they rebuild old maps that werent that great anyway. blood gulch, hang em high, sidewinder, damnation, battle creek... those were GREAT maps. chiron, longest, chillout, boarding action, wizard.... all made after the designers got lazy and ran out of ideas. coagulation, beaver creek, they tried to improve on what was already perfect. elongation, warlock, shoot me in the face.
have you guys seen or played the halo 1 pc custom maps? why werent THOSE ported or at least improved upon? playing other fps's makes it even worse when there are some really simple, badass maps that took alot less work but were ingenius. not to mention the new fps's that come with map editors.

well seing as how I mostly played 2 v 2 on Halo 1, Longest and Chillout were 2 of my favorite maps because they were small enough for that. What boggles my mind is that they didn't bring back the most popular map - Hang em High. Bungie gave some BS excuse about the fact that it wouldn't be fun with Halo 2 weapons. I used to love just playing snipers on HH. CTF was awesome too. I can't believe they decided on wizard and longest, its really lame. And while we are on maps, why did they have to make the coag so much bigger than blood gulch? I used to love playing CTF even just 2 v 2 on that map. I don't think I have ever played a 2 v 2 CTF game in Halo 2.
If I were bungie, this is what I would have included in my update:
- fix the damn shotgun - H1 shotgun much superior
- if you were going to re-do a H1 map, re-do Hang em High
- get rid of banshee's in matchmaking games (make them optional for noobs to fuck around with in custom games)
- make a playlist with MLG gametypes
- of course, fix cheating. I won't come down too hard on bungie for that cuz there will always be ways to cheat, no matter what they do.
OK, I am done venting.
Wait, one more thing, dub mentioned map names..."elongation" is just too homosexual. WTF were they thinking? 90% of the people playing Halo out there are dumb guys who only think of one thing when they hear the work elongation. Secondly, where the hell did they get "Beaver Creek" from? Does bungie think that we all don't know what beaver refers to? I am sure there is somthing behind that but for the average Halo player, beavers have nothing to do with Halo.

Amen ... btw, in terms of h2 map design & cheating, why would bungie bother putting up invisible walls at the tops of the maps if they are going to leave ways to get around them? i was in a matchmade game, assault on zanzibar, and the other team took the bomb on the roof of the base and double jumped it over the invisible wall so they could hide the bomb behind the giant concrete wall behind the base.
3 1/2 hours later, all the bombers teammates quit and i talked him into coming out. another clan member was playing assault on headlong and the other team used the banshee to surf the bomber to an unreachable area where they spent 3 hours throwing grenades trying to get him down off the top of the map.

While you venting is appropiate....I can tell that where I'm from there's a town called Beaver Creek. I think there's a place in Texas called that too. While you are right about what most players will think maybe one of the team is from an area near Beaver Creek something or other.
