Think they king of over complicated the map. Often feels like you’re in cover, only to find out nope, there was a particular angle the enemy could see you. There can be people all over the map. To some extent going in the middle seems like a death trap. Glad it’s restricted to only 4 v 4 lol.
Then there’s the two long straight aways that seemingly have no cover.

It’s still early days but I think it’s been okay so far. Not shaping up to be one of my favourites but I’m glad it’s been added.

Please guys, this title is so offensive for Launch Site.

Oh come-on people, they only had half a year from the start of season 2 to create content for season 3. But, let’s be honest, the map is bloody terrible, another grenade spamming paradise, another map of corridors, and a wide open middle area with no cover.

Worst ever…? Eh. I can’t recall every map off the top of my head. But it’s the worst Arena map in Infinite, without a doubt. It’s abysmal. It may well be a remake/inspired by Boarding Action from CE. But Boarding Action sucked. The style of map is good for Duck Hunt, but that’s about it.

Yeah it’s more of a joke goofy map thrown in to pad out the number of maps. General rule of thumb is that forerunner maps/levels take the least amount of time to do compared to Human/Covenant maps. This one was made in about two weeks.
I hate it. Still not as much as Behemoth, but the hate is strong.

If they added map voting back in, which they should, I guarantee this map would be voted out 9/10 times. It has no organic flow whatsoever, t’s clunky and disjointed and it is NOT FUN to play.

I’m going to be honest I really like Chasm, more so than Catalyst.
I feel its better with more chaotic socials and slayer.
And the Shroud Screen works well on this map.
I don’t think CTF is a good choice for this one but other objective modes are fine.
It comes off as an old Bungie Map. Which they usually fo wild with.

It’s clearly for “fun” not competitive. Though I have a hard time having fun on it in fiesta, but that’s largely just fiesta with RNG. I’d say 343 should avoid the fun gimmick maps like chasm until we have a better rotation overall…
Map voting was only removed due to the same map being chosen, but that’s because most of us rather play on good maps all day over crappy variety. It’s like in h3 no one in their right mind would choose ghost town over pit.

That’s why veto was the ultimate best solution for a little player input while still encouraging variety!
RIP vetoes

I don’t miss veto at all. I’m sure it happened, but I can’t remember a time a map/mode was not vetoed. Even favorite maps were vetoed because people just wanted to push buttons. 
How would veto even work for Infinite? Do you have to load in first and then start loading another map? Given the load speed of original Xbox One that would take a lot of time.
Infinite would need to go back to those archaic times of pre and post game lobbies.

Lol, okay calm down, isolation in Halo 3 still exists. But yes it is bad, it’s basically a giant walkway where snipers can spawn kill people and drop down when they’re in trouble. Needs more cover basically, especially across the middle. Also, veto and pregame lobbies are a quality of life thing that I never thought I’d lose in Halo growing up, but here we are :/.
The two hallways remind me of that Halo CE Map with two airships in conflict. The hexagons incentives the player to start jumping and climbing, as well as using the grapple hook and the repulsor.
The two external sides (the one covered in gold) are a bit too big and open, and the second floor is tricky, especially in CTF. Either you’re good at jumping and crouching, or you need to use the stairs.
Personally, it’s a weird map, and I love it because it’s weird. It feels like being on a CE Map.
I wouldn’t keep it maybe in competitive (if competitive players hate it), but it can be used in other playlists and modes.
I see it as good for shotty snipers, escalation slayer, Fiesta.
