Most of the time. Symmetrical maps are the most balanced and fair maps, and there is no way you can deny this.
I love Halo 4, don’t get me wrong. It’s definitely my GOTY, but some of the maps are terrible. These maps include Abandon, Complex, and Exile. Why do people even vote for these maps? They’re all asymmetrical, unbalanced, and overall, terrible. It really is annoying when these type of maps get picked. And why are these maps always associated with the wrong gametypes as well? Why should Flood be on Abandon? Why would there be Team Slayer on Complex? Why isn’t there BTB for that map? And why is there a scorpion and Banshee on Exile? You can’t walk a few feet before being blasted.
What’s your guys’ opinion on these maps? Do you pick them if they show up? Why?
I got the LE, so I’m hoping that the map packs will be better. Happy Thanksgiving.

I suppose FFA doesn’t matter much, but Flood does. The fact that Survivors can just stay in that little spot with the trees with a full view of the rest of the map isn’t right.

As a rule of thumb, asymmetrical maps are terrible for me. A lot of good maps are asymmetrical, but 'm really trying to focus on Exile, Complex, and Abandon. The three worst maps in H4. While the first few match’s might have been fun, it gets old and extremely irritating after a while.
Yes I would have to agree that asymmetrical mpas would indeed be wonderful… If we could play 1-sided gametypes in matchmaking… But no, 343 has taken out the secondary voting for the gametypes as well as 1-sided. I loved playing big team assault or ctf as well. But yes, asymmetrical maps should be almost strictly contained in it’s respective gametypes.
