The opening of Red vs. Blue where they discuss the tactical value of those positions was some of the greatest banter I've ever heard. Tactically, that is one of the worst places to ever put a resource. In Halo, I loved it. tear

Best Halo Map Ever.

BLOOD MUTHAFUCKIN GULCH!

No but seriously... good times. My baby sister and I would play "house" with the two bases on split screen. No shooting was allowed though. I actually have great memories of doing this with her.

nomercyvideo · 7 months

While working at THQ, at lunch we would lan party this level like crazy.

A few of us had a move called "The Tony Hawk" that involved driving a warthog and a ghost at their base.

The warthog would slam sideways into the base, the ghost that was following close behind would then use the warthog as a ramp, fly over their base, the rider would jump off, land through the hole of their base and grab the flag.

The other team caught on after a while, and used the tank parked behind the base to blast us out of the air.

Private Christian A. Lewis here.

I sure as hell don't.

A six month long campaign in a fucking box canyon in the middle of nowhere. There were two of us. One red, one blue. I was the unfortunate blue bastard who got assigned to oversee the base when the other guys that were assigned there just up and vanished, and I thought I was alone. No problem, I thought! I could just read my books!

Three fucking days after I get there I come under sniper fire from some asshole in red armor. I run for it, and for like, a week, we're both too fucking scared to come out of our bases. Eventually we come into contact with each other for a 'truce', and I find out -he- is overseeing -HIS- base because of -HIS- team fucking vanishing out of nowhere!

How can over nine people vanish?!

It confused me as all get out, and the two of us put aside our differences temporarily to try to figure things out. The Scorpion Tank wouldn't move or even come online, but the AI on there kept saying 'I'm waiting for someone.' and refused to elaborate.

Eventually, the two of us, the Red and I, decided to stick it to command. We had to get out of here. I ring command, they send in a Pelican to check in on a 'Emergency' I reported, and we hijack that sucker.

We got a good head start on Command, but we were both captured and sent to UNSC prison. The only way I can even TELL you my story is because they saw it fit to assign me to another fucking outpost in the middle of nowhere.

I don't even know the proper name of this place. "Snowbound" is what it's called on the charts, and it's even smaller than the canyon I was in earlier! On top of the weather and the snow getting in everything, I think this is still somehow a prison, because there's like, man-sized turrets patrolling the perimeter ready to shoot anyone that leaves.

FML, guys. FML.

So to answer your question again. Do I have fond memories of fighting in Blood Gulch?

It was better than what I have here.

BackwerdsMan · 7 months

Wow... I was just talking to a friend about one of our fondest gaming memories. It was a 4 hour CTF game on Blood Gulch that we played with another 4 person team over XBConnect. We made the most epic game winning cap at about 3am, and all four of us started screaming, and hugging each other. His parents came running down stairs thinking we were getting murdered or something. We won 3-2. Those poor dudes had to be absolutely depressed after losing such a long marathon of a game.

In a word, No. You didn't fix anything. In fact, you broke it. Congratulations.

...and let me just side step a ghost up the mountain, miss every one of my far off sniper shops outside the edge of the map, then fall to my death

deckchair · 7 months

I remember 16 player LAN rocket matches. the most hectic gaming of my life.

R3xz · 7 months

One of my most fondest moment playing that map was an all out 8 vs 8 on 4 xbox system linked together.

It was during final my freshman year of highschool. 2-3 hours of doing nothing in band = amazing fun on halo.

SuperBearJew · 7 months

One day while hanging out with my cousin who is 5 years older than me, he puts in this game. I'm probably 5 or 6 at the time and have no idea how shooters work. We start playing and he utterly destroys me without lifting a finger. His friend calls and he says he'll be back in a minute and I could try and find his character while he was gone.

DAE remember how the smart people would cover the teleporter exits with tanks and then your'e whole team would get trapped inside ur end of the gulch just getting ass-fucked by the other team?

alostsoldier · 7 months

Every few weeks I would come home from school to find my brother packing our parent's TV into the truck and handing me the Xbox. We'd head over to this kid's house who I never really knew. He had an old school 50 inch tv upstairs and a 30 something TV setup. all 4 tvs had at least 2 people every game sometimes it'd get up to full 16 player games. It was awesome.

A few years later when I was older I started doing the same thing with my friends and we'd have epic halo parties in my friend's basement. Then, people started doing drugs and sandlot style disappeared.

I still battle there.

Didnt_FTFY · 7 months

I've probably logged around 250 hours on that map (PC edition multiplayer). I was around when Halo 1 multiplayer first hit... Bungie-CTF-4 was where it was at. A lot of the Bungie staff would hang out in that room in particular. People like Rassberry and RICKJAMES were regulars. It was nuts.

I miss that game dearly sometimes.

Back when I was a freshman in high school we'd have massive LAN parties on the trial version during Computer Science I, and I'd always get the banshee and destroy everyone. The upperclassman always said "Heroin Bob, get out of the banshee!" Good times.

I like the hipster downvote brigade. Halo is too mainstream for upvotes. Whatever brahs this was the shit for me and my friends through middle school and into highschool. CTF all day.

When I was a freshman, you had to be asked by an upperclassmen to be able to go to prom, so of course no freshman guys ever went. That night, we had a 3 on 3 match of CTF at the gulch that lasted 3 hours and 45 minutes. i think it was the funnest time i had in my long history of gaming.

Wr3kage · 7 months

Me and 4 friends spent an entire summer in a garage playing this game, can't describe how awesome it was. Later the sequels came out and we never played each for more than 2 weeks, they all felt like shitty expansion packs. but I'll never forget that summer.

Even though I still LAN H1 every week or 2 this still brings back amazing memories. As a kid I used to be a huge Nintendo fanboy, because I grew up on my sister's Gameboy and SNES. I always thought Halo was so stupid (Because it was Xbox and because there were no bots) even though I had never played it. Finally one day in 7th grade my friend invited me over to his house and we played a 3 person FFA on Blood Gulch on his massive tv and I instantly fell in love. Went out and bought an Xbox almost right away and ended up playing almost 6000 games of Halo 2 on Xbox Live. That was also the start of me truly playing games competitively so thanks to Halo my gaming career was vastly altered.

Tulki · 7 months

My friends and I played on this map so often that we even made up a mode for it: Tremors.

There's two humans, and two tremors. The humans start at one base, armed with nothing but a magnum each. The tremors start at the other base, armed with ghosts (but they can't fire their turrets). Humans cannot pick up other weapons, and tremors cannot leave their ghosts.

The humans win by reaching the other base on foot without getting smashed to bits by the tremors.
