Chasm is the worst Halo map ever made

Wow. Simply, wow. This map is genuinely terrible. Ever want to run down long hallways with absolutely nothing interesting in them? Well, here’s your chance. Have you ever wanted to run along upper-level hallways with nothing interesting in them except that if you fall off the ledge you will have to walk for six and a half minutes before you can climb back up again? Well, you’re in luck. This is the most boring, stale uninteresting map I have ever seen in any Halo title period. The middle area is so exposed to long-range fire from either side that it’s useless. I particularly like the upper-level platform that just ends in the corner with nothing in it. My god. Disappointed doesn’t even come close to describing this feeling. The community-made maps are 100 percent better than this trash. 343 needs to fire whoever created this abomination.

New maps take at least a week to get a good grasp on. Until some sort of map meta gets established by the community, new maps are always pretty meh

Nah this map is straight up doodoo. Like actually terrible, it doesn’t need any testing or “meta”.

Way too big, too many sightlines that cover too much distance, and traversal that’s impossible to do in any timely fashion UNLESS you have repulsor or grapple. Just another example of the equipment forcing maps to become huge and complex in order to make use of it at the expense of regular gameplay.

Apparently everyone forgot about Valhalla.

I should specify I mean this as comparison to the long distances for the map. I know it’s 4v4.

I also think the map is trash. If I get it with CTF I insta quit. So far games have just been full parties farming kills in it, and I dont even know why they are.

That’s what happens when you pretty much just rip an area from campaign with small modifications.

They made an effort to make the indoor areas in campaign feel like Halo 1 areas, so when you take that into the multiplayer realm congrats, you just made a Halo 1 map.

Map flow feels like Boarding Action, and not in a good way like how Sword Base handled it.

On the flip side though, it’s the only 4v4 map where you actually have enough room to zoom the sniper rifle comfortably.

Perhaps I treated Launch Site too harshly this map just dethroned it. This map is awful

Yeah because Valhalla was actually a fun map

It makes you curious how long this horror has been in the oven for. I am sorry to any devs out there that had a hand in making this map. But this is simply not a fun map, the community maps are 100%

It’s a squashed down Boarding Action from Halo CE. It’s not bad once you figure it out.

This map managed to make me yearn for Edge from Halo 3.

Edge sucks, but it is much better than this one.

I played this map like 10 times last night, and it’s fine. I think you “worst map ever” people are spoiled with map quality if you think this it’s the worst map ever lol

Yeah, I’m not a fan at all
Multiplayer maps aren’t meant to be jumping puzzles, just my own subjective opinion

Getting sniped from a guy in camo at the top of the map was… An experience

Thought I was going to hate it, but so far it’s not too bad. Though I haven’t played it in ranked yet.
