Headlong is such a bad map for the Anniversary Classic playlist. Every time it pops up it is Team Snipers on Headlong. Headlong is to big of a map for 4v4 snipers, it takes way to long to complete a game on it, and if you don’t have good snipers on your team, or if you are just not good with a sniper, then it turns into a very not fun experience.
Every time it is picked, I feel like quitting, I always try very hard to not quit or get booted in every game I play, but lately whenever Headlong snipers is picked, I feel very tempted to quit =( It is that much of a unpleasant time.
Anniversary Classic is a good playlist I think, but Headlong pretty ruins it =(
343 can you please consider taking Headlong out of Anniversary Classic ?
I agree that this is a terrible combo for classic. Games almost always time out. If my teammates vote for it I betray them and skedaddle on to my next match.
> Considering Headlong is a Halo 2 map it shouldn’t be playing on ANNIVERSARY settings. This has grinded my gears since November.
This. 343i really should have made a gametype with 4shot DMR without 3 shot pistol.
Also, I always found it logical to have big maps for snipers. I never got why people prefer small maps for snipers. Aren’t snipers for LONG range?
However, when Snipers shows up in 4v4 Anniversary on any maps, that’s lame. If I wanted to play Snipers I would have went to the playlist for 4v4 sniper action. BTB Anniversary snipers can be okay with the 3SK pistol and lots of enemies, but still…if I wanted snipers…
I must be the only one who realizes that Headlong is perfect for 4v4 Snipers. It’s huge, theres multiple structures to hide in, and multiple levels to camp from. This is the perfect Snipers map, instead of trash like Countdown, Uncaged or Zealot which are CQB maps.
Guys, a map that’s good for Snipers generally requires you to use the full zoom that the weapon comes with.

Except it is horribly slow paced with four players, that’s why it is disliked.
Headlong was a staple in Halo 2 Team Snipers. If you are encountering super-slow games on it, you aren’t playing it right. It should play nothing like Hemorrhage, there are tons of angles and ways to sneak around. The effective size of the map is significantly reduced by the fact that it’s snipers, since you can’t really go into the middle of map.

I also never understood why Headlong has the 3sk pistol. It just doesn’t make any sense.
I don’t think that Headlong is in the Team Snipers playlist. So the only way I can play Snipers on Headlong is to play in the Anniversary Classic playlist. I love this map for snipers. It is a great change of pace from normal slayer battles on Beaver Creek, Prisoner, and Damnation. And it is a great map for Snipers. It is the perfect size. There is lots of cover and ways to get around.
Is Headlong even in Anniversary BTB? I don’t think I have ever played it in the playlist. All I got was Ridgeline and Timberland and those are the same map.

Yes it is in Ann btb. Red spawns with access to banshee and blue spawns with access to guass. It is my favorite.

That is nice to know, even though I have never gotten to play it. I stopped playing that playlist because it was always the same map.
It worked better in H2 because the color scheme was much more bland, thus enemies “stood out” more. It definitely does not work in 4v4 snipers for Reach.

Totally, there are lots of colors more toward the red spectrum that reds can blend in against. I mean, you can’t hide your red name but you can decrease your chances of being looked at altogether.

Great point. I am color blind, and team colors make a huge difference depending on the maps. I hate Zealot because I cannot see blue team quickly enough against the purple color scheme. Headlong is not usually an issue for me though
Snipers on Headlong >>> Snipers on Hang 'em High for me. I don’t mind it TOO much.
I do see how it’s a slower map if no one is willing to move but luckily, with the exception of a game last night, most of the Sniper games I’ve played on this map people are moving. Hell, when we play we usually drive around on the Mongeese for fun.

That is how I curb boredom when I happen to stumble into a snipers match on the playlist.
Of course the other team is no fun and snipes me right away though. One time I was able to splatter a guy sniping on the construction building. :3

… bro. New to Snipers?
You have a weapon with 10x zoom … and you’re acting as if it takes you all night to find someone to shoot at?
