Why does 343 insist on making maps full of clutter and distraction. Paths zig zag into other paths that look exactly the same as any other location inside the same map, no center structure the orientate yourself to your surrounding, bungie was very clever as 90% of their maps had defining features that allowed players to center themselves to. Let me ask veterans one simple question, name 1 map without the internet from halo 4 (since halo 5 is fresh) and name the map and a defining feature that allowed for easy navigation, you may be able to sure…now name a map from halo 3 and what made it stand out, its easier to name isnt it.
To break up lines of sights for mid range weapons and to make it easier for people to escape battles and survive after they’ve put themselves into terrible positions
-which by the way in my opinion equates to bad map design, but that’s just me)

i just want to go into 343s studio, take every map designers sketchbooks and computers with maya installed, shove those all out the window, grab a rolled up newspaper, and hit everyone on the nose with it, and just scream…NO…NO…BAD DOG. seriously, put my -Yoink- on the team and at least we can have maps that dont look like -Yoink-, someone else can do gameplay, im no expert on gameplay but i sure as hell know what a map should LOOK LIKE
I miss blood gultch/ coag, whatever else they renamed it 5 thousand times…
They work well in this game. The flow is very nice. This game has improved on clutter - maybe less so on plaza.

I never really liked that map. Just grab the sniper, sit at the back of the map and you’re sorted.
I can’t think of Halo 4 maps that memorable but at a glance the maps for halo 5 don’t seem great either so hoping the dlc maps aren’t as bad.
The maps have a good flow to them but in terms of aesthetics they look very generic except for Empire, Truth and Coliseum.
