The multiplayer maps from all the Halo games Bungie has made are varied and different. I know the name of all these maps and when I played on a different level it felt refreshing. Halo 3 had the best variation of maps imo. Guardian, pit, last resort, snowbound, narrows, high ground sandtrap, etc. With the maps 343i has made, they all seem similar. Design wise, the slayer maps have an outer ring you can use to walk around the entire map. Then there will be the lower mid and upper mid. Halo 3 had symmetrical maps but it also had asymmetrical maps. The maps were symmetrical were different totally unique from each other. The low variation of maps in Halo 5 and the inability to veto the maps you played on can leave you playing the same map 3 times in a row. We need more map 343i. Bring back some classics if need be.
Not to forget CQB maps are stretched out.
Microsoft & 343i should have hired Max Hoberman he is the one who made classic Halo maps. Adrian Bedoya is awful at making maps.

Exactly! All the hallways are stretched out with no coverage. Spartan Charge is rampant with that!
Halo 4 maps are my favourites.
I feel as if this thread is about to get locked soon. Snickerdoodle doesn’t like it when you compare Bungie to 343.
None of the halo 5 maps really stand out to me
I never liked Bungie. I started playing Halo with Halo: MCC.

Funny. Yet MCC is made up of 3 Bungie games and one 343i game. Your statement is vague at best.

Whoosh.
Well, to be fair, there are only two games made by 343i compared to Bungie’s four. So comparing Halo 5 with something like Halo 3 and Reach when they had considerably more familiarity is a bit unfair.
That said, the past Halo’s definitely had more “stand out” maps. But I think 343i has made very good maps across both games. Empire/Eden, Rig, and Fathom are a few standouts for me. And Haven from Halo 4 remains one of my favorite Halo maps of all time.
Screw Pegasus though. Why that is still in SWAT baffles my mind completely, I hate that map, just, so much.
Awkward moment when you realise Halo 2 had one of the best maps out there, which is Bungie’s second Halo game. Just like Halo 5 is 343i’s second unique Halo game and stuff is a mess. Really you could have gotten away with that statement imabout Halo 4 but they’ve had since 2010 to learn proper map design.
I totally agree. Also, wtf is the point of putting the plasma caster as a power weapon on so many maps. The hydra spawns on the ground but OMFG the plasma caster is gonna be up in 10 seconds better make sure to kill the dude who grabs it with my magnum…
Hated halo 4’s maps. Halo 5’s are alright but it needs way more variety and outdoor maps. Most of them are indoors
Halo 2 and 3 had some great maps. I lost faith in bungie with reach, hated how all the maps were just ripped from campaign. I like halo 5 ones so far.

best maps are in H4

Or when people say anything about anything…
Bungie’s variation is also why Halo1-3 have some of the worst maps in the game’s history, and many that are lacking versatility and balance in gametypes. Halo 5’s maps have the versatility and “better” balance but just need some more design creativity between them so there is variation without losing the balance from a competitive standpoint. Bungie was smart though by letting the community fix all the problems with Forge! 343 has that luxury also!
I wouldn’t want Remakes cause many just aren’t that good and Halo 5 deserves better, but that’s just my opinion.
There is no comparison. Halo 2 & CE have the best maps of any game. Period. Some games may have good, iconic maps but no game comes close to having the quality times the quantity of great maps put in those two games.
