Seriously, the damn red team has the upper hand most of the time. Whatever happened to the strategic map… oh wait nevermind, I almost forgot 343 designed this game.
Most of the maps are just plain terrible, no tactical locations, no flanking routes, no nothing! It’s all garbage. One more thing, who’s damn idea was it to PUT THE CRIMSON MAP PACK INTO INFINITY SLAYER? THAT’S LIKE A 8V8 MAP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Who ever makes these descisions should be fired for being a moron.

This is why I don’t play BTB at ALL. It’s full of noobs, and plus I don’t last 2 seconds in a damn warthog with all the Plasma Pistols, Plasma Grenades and -Yoink!- Vehicle wrecking guns. Like seriously, was it really THAT hard to take down vehicles in the past Halos? No wonder why they like Halo 4, they actually get kills.
worse off with complex is if your like my friend and have an old style 360 complex lag pops all over the place as it doesnt successfully render the whole map properly (every other map is playable with few rendering issues) but complex makes a 100mb internet look like a 56k modem waiting for -Yoink!- to download lol
I always thought complex would be a great map for assault or 1 flag type games. Utter utter nonsense for game types that require a level playing field.

Complex was designed poorly. As long as the other team had DMR’s/AC and was on the top of the damn middle building, you ain’t going anywhere.
its easy to stop people on top of building the map is hardly difficult or favoured for the red team the only annoying thing for me is ghosts but they’ve always been a pet hate of mine
The only map i can honestly say i enjoy in this game is Haven, but even that is starting to grate on me a bit as i’ve over-played it now,
Abandon and Adrift are bearable, but the rest are utterly terrible and easily the worst set of maps in any Halo game ever,
This is just one of the many many reasons why i’m not playing much at all anymore, all the little issues combined with terrible maps don’t make this game any fun anymore.
have to say i dont mind most of the maps, i do however hate certain maps for certain gametypes. like
abandon - CTF, its so one sided for the blue team to be able to go up the ramp by-pass everyone grab and run easily back to their own base. an easy fix would be to have red’s flag on the bottom not the top.
complex…just sucks in general, for slayer its not that bad if you take it slow and keep in cqc range then it has its perks. but every gametype on that map completely sucks.
meltdown - dominion like BTB exile the map is one sided, upon re-supplying the red team gets a mantis, and the blue team gets a gauss hog. the GH has a lot for versatile movement around the map and is one shot kill, while the mantis sucks in meltdowns rock formations.
Exile - BTB, need i say more?
i dont mind the other maps, longbow and vortex could be cycled more often though.
on a side note the only crimson map that’s even good is harvest too bad the gametype selection is horrible for it
Complex not only is broken (split screen frame rate issues): it’s not balanced (90% of action takes place around 1 building) and plain not interesting. The worst of default maps (and Crimson maps aren’t much better).
Rest of 4v4 maps are very fine, I just wish there was more of them.
