Hi,
Just wondering what map is best for a slayer game.
My personal favorite from Reach is “Powerhouse”. Very underrated map and one of my favorites in the whole series. It reminds me of “High Ground” from Halo 3 visually.
I like Sword Base, and controlling the power weapons and positions at the top.
I mostly play SWAT and a couple of my favorite maps are Sword Base and Countdown.
Should I buy any of the other maps then?
Zealot is really good for slayer too
I like countdown, being good at placing nades is super important on coutndown and condemned from the Defiant DLC was good too.
Powerhouse, Sword Base, Ascension/Pinnacle, Asylum, and Countdown are good non-DLC matchmaking maps that are usually balanced and provide competitive yet fun gameplay. Uncaged/The Cage is also fun, but can become a bit much at times to unexperienced players.
Either Boardwalk or Asylum for me.
Asylum because it reminds me of H2
Sanctuary

Boardwalk is another good map to play. One of my favorite thing to do in SWAT is pick off the players who think they are being sneaking getting into the edges of the map and hiding in the trees. I had one match where the same two guys kept going into the trees in the upper skybridge area in the back. They managed to snag a few kills there but I just kept picking them off every time they tried sneaking around there.
I forgot to mention the forge map Midas (Which seldomly comes up), so add that one to the list of fun and good Slayer based maps.

I agree. Powerhouse was one of the very, very few good Halo: Reach maps.
Sword Base for sure, it’s so fun when it turns into chaos in the lift room on third floor.

Sword Base is fun. It’s where I got my first Extermination in SWAT thanks to an entire enemy team that wanted to camp the Yellow Lift Room.
I would say my favorite is Sword Base, I haven’t experience the other maps well enough as most people playing Reach now don’t have the DLC.
Countdown is the best. It provides tight quarters and a few open areas for those of us that Jetpack (which is the worst powerup).
Man the only map I just HATE for Slayer is Boardwalk. You almost can’t go wrong with any of the others. The best though? Probably Countdown in my opinion. It has it all. Tight CQC, vertical gameplay, long open sightlines in appropriate places and small enough to 1v1 in yet large enough to probably host a 6v6. Perfectly sized for 4 on 4 though, obviously.
My personal favourite for team slayer is without a doubt, Asylum. Symmetrical, open and easiest map to control. As for dlc maps; Breakpoint is awesome on invasion/ BTB. Whereas Anchor 9 is really good for team slayer.
