I feel like the current selection of arena maps, particularly the 4v4 oriented ones are all too similar. Steel corridors and narrow walkways galore! I mention snowbound as I feel it’s a little more diverse in terms of its design. Something which the majority of the current maps are not.
I was never big on Snowbound. It was OK, but nothing special in terms of design. I’d much prefer seeing 343i remakes of instant classics like The Pit.
I’ve been wanting some larger 4v4 arena maps with vehicle use like snowbound, high ground and isolation.
I understand what you mean. 
They really need to release some non-UNSC/human based maps. If we include all variants/versions of all the “original” maps made (i.e non-Forge maps) from all modes we have 2 Covenant themed maps (Truth and Regret), 3 Forerunner themed maps (Coliseum, Apex 7 and Array, the latter two featuring more human structures than Forerunner), and a whopping 14 human themed maps (including the one in the next update), two of which are barely different (Empire and Eden), most of which are steel. Furthermore, all of the arena maps are so corridor based that even those which are outdoors feel like they’re not. What happened to using natural elements as part of the maps?
It doesn’t help that so many of the BTB forge maps have stuck to the standard grey for the forge blocks. They almost all blend together, especially when Entombed’s natural elements are basically the same colour as its structures.
Most of the maps look fine on their own, but when taken as a group it’s clear that they really need to vary their art styles. It’s a shame, they have so many great styles to draw on from the franchise, and even from the Campaign alone. We had a Covenant city, Elite ruins, Genesis, the snowy Kamchata and even the glassed surface of Meridian.
Yes I miss maps like snowbound
The Elite ruins are some of the best looking graphics in the campaign. To see them made use of in a map would be very nice!
Yes I loved snowbound, high ground, powerhouse, spire, and more. I want it all back.
343’s arena maps are textureless and all look like shiny plastic toys.
I dont mind snowbound but I think its regarded as one of H3’s worst maps. Agreed though. Map pool needs more variety.
No, snowbound sucks.
