Oof, this thread reeks of Stockholm syndrome.
Behemoth is likely one of the worst Halo maps ever. Through it does look pretty.
Itās not a bad map. Looks good, give some variety to the atmosphere. My main issue is feel to big for 4vs4 games, just like Launch Site. Of course for BTB will be too small and crowded. Maybe perfect for 6vs6 games.
Vehicle spawn kinda weird, sometimes a tank or gungoose, feels so random.
Iām not really a big fan of Behemoth, but I loved Sandtrap, so Iād honestly rather just have a Mini Sandtrap like this concept

Maybe when Forge comes
I have mixed feelings on Behemoth, it is definitely unique among the maps and when the teams are well balanced its pretty fun.
But when the team balance is more than slightly off it just feels like the weaker team gets completely steamrolled (by Warthog + 1-2 snipers) with less nooks and spaces to maneuver and make a comeback play. Its also very annoying in Swat.
Iām a bit saddened that they havenāt talked about bringing it back into ranked in S2 with some additional cover and reworked spawns. Maybe later in the season?
I agree Bohemoth gets too much crap i love the map
It was an awesome map for ranked play as well. One of the only ranked maps to have 2x sniper rifles at equal spawns. Nice open areas, concealed tight areas, good cover all around. Reminded me of Sanctuary from Halo 2/3 and Reach.
However the comp scene couldnāt spawn control their opponents as well as they could on all the other smaller, symetrical maps in the ranked playlist, so instead of taking on that challenge of having a map they couldnāt spawn control- they decided to cancel it and have it removed from the playlistā¦
Hereās hoping the 1 new arena map we get after 6 months doesnāt share the same fate.

Oh i miss Behemoth and Launch site in Team slayer. both removed with Feb 23 update. Want to work towards getting these gems back. Maybe new maps are coming to replace?
Iām pretty sure one of the main reasons they gave for it being taken out of ranked was that it was too easy to constantly spawn kill opponents. Unless theyāre spawning under the base you can pretty much shoot spawners from huge portions of the map with how effective the BR is at long range.
I like behemoth for snipers but other than that I donāt care for it. The one I just sigh when I get put into is launch pad. That map is awful if youāre playing land grab you spawn so far away that itās not even possible to get to the zones in timeā¦ā¦ which I suppose is avoidable if you donāt get yourself killed but still a tough map to play certain modes on
