Hey i just dled the new halo2 maps Containment and Warlock (and incase u haven't known already, they're available on Content Download). I didn't dl the other two because it costs $5.99 and it will be free on june 28 (i guess i can wait).


Warlock blows. Im serious, it blows. It's dark as hell and layout just... sucks. There's nothing really innovative or awesome about it's terraining. It's not something i'd like to play on alot.

Containment is AWESOME! It's like two gigantic fortresses. It's a good map mainly for non-slayer team games like CTF, assault, etc. And it should be especially good with 16 players.

And the other two maps (i 4got their names) i haven't played

Turf And Sanctuary... I herd that they were WAY BETTER than the other ones...
I have to agree... Im with milenium on this one... If they cost money and will cost money FOREVER i would buy them but they will be coming out for free in almost exactly 2 months... I can wait that long. After all I have Containment and Warlock to keep me busy

Containment is AMAZING... I love the way the gate is placed to that the inside doesnt need to "open" it to get out it is basicaly a giant ramp that veicles can jump... However on the outside you cant get it making the bace inaccessable to veicles...

HINT: Always Put The Sniper On Guarding The Switch as if they pull it you will need to guard that gate agenst Warthogs and even a scorpion...



I also Herd that on the 28th 4 other maps will come out... Again 2 for free and 2 that costs 6.99 CAN...

BTW: Milenium you Have XboxLive? Whats ur Tagg? I would like to Own You in
Containment

EDIT: ADDITION: Warlock is actualy fun with 16 people 4 team CTF

Download Turf and Sanctuary. I got all 4 today and Turf is the best, closely followed by Sanctuary. Then Containment. Warlock is only good with at least 10 people.

On June 28th 5 more maps are going to be available for download on Live.

You're missing out on alot without the Killtacular pack, trust me.

My gamertag is Kryok, just so people know.

They were awesome maps. Offical review from Yoshi:

4th Best - Warlock: Yes, once again it is dark and small. Limited weapons in my opinion. It makes a nice close quarters map, but the invisibility in the middle was unnecessary, because you aren't going to be playing with that many people, and so there will constantly be this invisible guy who kills a lot of people.

3rd Best - Containment: It was an awesome map, with the doors and all, plus all the possibilities. It has a major flaw though. You can only really play it with only 12 or more people. Any less and it's not as fun, thus it becomes a map that I won't play with too often. I don't play big team battle and I don't ever do a system link, thus its ranked number 3. I'm sure others will think more highly of it though.

2nd Best - Sanctuary: Its not too bad of a map. The base with the waterfalls is SUPER sexy graphics. I played a bit on it, its definately worth getting. It's an exceptional map in design, although its rather straight forward, with no "escape" places incase you are being rushed or outgunned.

Best - Turf: The best. it is small, but is the best. First, there are no other maps based upon earth. It was my favorite area. The two bases are extremely different, and I had a fun ass time being at the "Medical Tent" defending from there (it has those metal slabs to defend from). The brute plasma rifle and SMG is the new force to be reckoned with. Once my friends were defending the medical tent, I came at them with the warthog, pushed the metal slabs in and locked them in and confused them for a couple of seconds while I jumped over to the otherside and finished them both off with some nice brute shot melee attacks. I also created a "roadblock' for the hell of it by bumping the two orange trucks with the warthog and thus, blocking the road. Made it a pretty funny place, because while my friends were attempting to destroy it so they could bring out the warthog quick instead of having me plasma gernade them when coming towards the medical tent. Oh man... great map...

Is it worth downloading turf and sanctuary for 5.99 us dollars?

Thnx for reminding me about the dls. Havn't been on halo 2 in about 2-3 weeks.

What he said.

Yes, you can skip a meal at mcdonalds to play a few good maps early.

Yea, i just downloaded it 5 hours ago.
And now for my thoughts about Sanctuary and Turf...


Sanctuary is Pretty good, but not astonishing. I like the fact that it has a sword . The ruins and temples all over the map were pretty nicely placed.

Turf is... omfg.... uberest, sexiest non-big halo2 map. It's just so.... nice! All those spots you can hide in, it's very very nice. This has now become my favorite map, closely followed by Lockout.

I'm starting to favor the shotgun more than the sword. 1 out of 3 lunges with the sword at me, I can effectively "dodge" the attack thus bringing the sworder into an undesirable place, maybe even off the map. Shotgun has technically a double attack. Shoot then quickly melee. since the patch its now an actual useful weapon, just swing it out when you see someone closeby and chop em up.

Turf, is definately the best, most fun map out of them all.

I have to agree, I think that Turf is the best as well.
And Yoshi's right, the Brute Plasma Rifle/SMG combo is unstoppable when playing one on one; I should know, he kicked my ass.

I go for plasma pistol and SMG because i shoot take there shilds and take them out in almsot 5 seconds flat... or quicker

If you guys keep talking about turf and sanctuary like that I'm gona
feel like i need to get them

What is the difference between brute plasma rifles and normal plasma rifles other than the fact that one is red and the other blue?

Brute plasma rifle does more damage and over heats alot faster. It can take down shields in about 3 shots. If you see a bunch of people fighting just take the brute plasma rifle on its own and make good use of your melee. 3 shots and a melee while running are usually enough to kill a guy.

The map I like out of all of them is the Free snow map, I already know where evrey thing is, And that map is the funnest to play snipers, And CTF.

Yeah. It seems to be the combo of choice now. Its the all around ass-whooping combo. The best way to take someone out with it is:

- Snipe
- PP/BR
- Shotgun
- Brute shot
- Sticky 'nades

You'll have to be extremely lucky to take it out with anything else. The obvious disadvantage to the combo, is that it heats up so fast, it will overheat by the time the sheilds are down, in which the SMG finishes the job. However, if you're not playing 1 on 1, some other guy can easily take advantage of you as you will have a 3 second downtime between kills.

Also: If you're playing CTF, the first thing you should do is move the two trucks (where the warthog spawns) away from the cliff. Why? Because then it becomes impossible to climb except from the warehouse. The other team will have a tougher time getting to the brute shot, stickies, and tatical position up there.

Damn. Its the best map ever.

You can get up to the Brute Shot platform near those orange trucks by 2 ramps that lead up to them in the middle. You walk up these small ramps then jump up. You don't need the trucks or the warhouse wall. Plus people can just double jump up. It's not a hard thing to do in matchmaking or games where you're actually playing.

Hmm alright I didn't realize that (new map )

<--- needs to get xbox live

Then why don't you go out and go buy a subscription code...

You already have Xbox live if you have cable/dsl...

Just need a subscription code, And a Credit Card... And your all set.

Sure swappie. You can face me with the pistol/SMG combo

People that I've played with got really upset by how much they weakened the magnum in the Auto update. But it's still a single headshot to the unshielded for a kill, so that's good enough for me. It's still a good secondary for a game of snipers (best played on midship) or with a plasma pistol or rifle.

yoshi what level are you now...? cuz i never go on anymore so i never get to see you rank

I like the Turf and the snow one.
