How is the arena maps determined? And why is it that it seems to be like 3 or 4 maps in the arena… Its not rare that 3 out of 5 games are the same map.
Please bring back the voting system so we at least can get a chance to influence the choosing of the maps.
And how do you know these maps that we constantly have to play are appreciated by us players?
If I see Truth, Regret or Eden being loaded one more time, im gonna try to remodel my xbox one with a baseball bat.
So you’re telling me that the voting system will change things? People always chose the same maps over and over because it’s the only map that they are good at…
Plaza
Empire(could all day CTF on it)
Eden
Coliseum(could all day CTF on it)
Truth(could all day CTF on it)
Regret
Rig
Fathom(could all day CTF on it)
I dont know mate,i like all of them and really dont care about voting that would just make me wait a bit more to play.

People voting for the same maps over and over and over and over and over again, especially on the rare occasions when a DLC maps would show up, is the reason why they removed voting in the first place.
A better solution would be to fix the algorithm that selects random maps/play modes so that it’s actually random.

Yeah but have you ever thought that the maps you’ve just played before isn’t necessarily the same that other players in your team ? The same following map for you isn’t actually the same for everyone. I think this issue is due to not staying in the same loby after a game, such as MCC.

nope. voting will make this 10 times worse, itl just turn into Team Slayer, Plaza 7 times in a row then Rig another 5 times, then back to plaza for another 5 or 6, did you not play previous Halos where this was a major problem?
Automatic selection is far better

But playing Valhalla for 5 hours straight was the best thing ever.
Yeah I would sure love for Coliseum to become the new Haven or Pit.
Voting just means you play the same map over and over again, which would be even worse in Halo 5 as the map pool is already small.

Never been a huge fan of the voting system, I think you just end up playing the same game mode on the same maps. But they definitely need to fix the rotation. I haven’t seen Fanthom in probably 20 matches. Some nights it’s Plaza over and over and other nights I don’t see it at all.
i played on coliseum 4 times in a row in team arena the other day …on the 5 time coliseum again, i stopped playing halo 5 after that for the day

Yes, I have thought that. I stay in the same lobby maybe 90% of the time. But either way, if players are playing the same maps repeatedly, or the same map 4+ times in a row, random isn’t so random. I was under the impressing that even though there is no Post Game party up lobby, that you are still in the same lobby with the players that didn’t “Leave”.
The MCC collection had the same issue, but it was worse there because, even though we had voting, and everyone had access to ALL of the maps, they would still make, for ex. Ragnarok the voting selection for 1 AND 2, and have some rare DLC map as option 3. So of course you never got to play on that rare DLC map.

i hope youre joking… valhalla is one of the worst maps in Halo, along with bloodgulch and coag 
The current map rotation is very flawed. People say you play the same map over and over again in voting, well I disagree. I’ve played the same map more times in a row with this system then with any Halo voting system. There needs to be a veto option, like in H3 to be able to veto Rig for the 5th time in a row. With the old voting system, you could avoid playing the terrible maps. This current map rotation selection, the terrible maps are the only maps that are selected it seems.
One solution could be that you can select the maps you want to play and one of those maps are randomly chosen. And something that shows “Most popular maps” and “least popular maps”.
To be able to choose map before finding players should improve the experience of playing the arena alot. Im estimating that my arena playtime has decreased with over 60-70 % just because these “randomized maps” and I get the feeling that alot of people recognize this problem.
I really like the multiplayer in halo 5,nearly as good as the multiplayer in halo 3. I just dont want it to become an empty arena with no players. I rather wait 1 or 2 extra minutes for a map i want to play, instead of wasting a whole game on a map i dont want to play, play like crap, get frustrated over it, and then turn of my xbox.
The maps are absolutely terrible I dont want to play any map in halo 5 because there unbalanced or ugly or both. Unbelievably disappointed by the map selection
the only decent maps are eden/empire and plaza IMO. screw rig, colisserum, pegasus truth and regret.
Plaza is by far my favorite and least seen for me
Fathom is my favorite CTF map and rarely see it
Empire and Eden are my least favorite and i see them all the time…
i think i know the map rotation works…Kappa

I kind of agree with the OP. It’s about a 50/50 with me. Half good half bad. I really dislike Asymmetrical maps. I mean everyone uses Truth as the greatest map, but I feel like Pit was probably the best in my opinion. Completely symmetrical with 3 lanes (left, right, mid). I’m excited for forge to release and see some of the user generated content.
Who cares? You either get ugly gray maps or red/blue maps that make it difficult to see your opponent. Why is it so -Yoinking!- hard to distinguish your opponent from the rest of the map?
H5 has some of the worst maps I’ve played on. Talk about unbalanced.
yes indeed please let us vote
