With Halo 4 coming out I think it would be interesting to reflect on our favorite and least favorite maps from the rest of the series to give us a sense of where Halo 4’s map selection should be like and what they should stay away from.
I’ll start things off.
Halo CE:
My favorite map is Battle Creek
My least favorite is Chiron TL-34
Halo 2: ( going to be hard because I loved so many)
My favorite is Lockout, ( Or relic for btb)
My least favorite is backwash
Halo 3:
My favorite map is The Pit
My least favorite is Isolation
Halo Reach: ( going to be tough because I hated so many)
My favorite map was Highlands ( or Tempest)
My least favorite was anything that shipped with the game other than Reflection or Spire.
Best for CE: Derelict
Worst: Battle Creek (Shows how great the maps were huh. Still was good, didn’t play as well as Beaver Creek though with the ladders and such). Also, I don’t consider Chiron TL-34 a real map.
Best for Halo 2: Lockout or Midship, can’t decide. Lockout Ball was the GOAT of gametypes, but Midship played flag, oddball, koth, assault, slayer, and FFA really really well.
Worst: Gemini
Best for Halo 3: Heretic, but Guardian if remakes don’t count.
Worst: Snowbound (let’s all camp the caves, shall we?)
Best for Reach: Zealot without Sprint
Worst: Swordbase takes the cake by a landslide. Definately the worst map in the history of Halo.
Reach’s maps sucked. I mean the most played map (the cage) was a -Yoink!- forge map. They didnt build maps with the engine. they were lazy as fu- and didnt give a rats -Yoink-. They need engine built maps which i’m sure theyll do and they need to be fun and have sightlines and different ways of getting around the maps
I hated practically all the maps on halo reach. Even the old ones that were good, I started hating them because you’d be on them 8 times a night. I learned to hate forge world maps extremely quickly.

Yay, I see I’m not the only only that doesn’t like Isolation.

It was the only map in the entire game that I actually disliked. I could even tolerate Snowbound, but Isolation just sucked.
I’d still take it over most of the maps in Reach though.
