Favorite/least favorite map

Sup guys, I’m bored and felt like hearing everyone’s opinion
so…What is everyone’s favorite map and why?

In contrast, what is your least favorite map and why?

My favorite is either Asylum or Zealot(for now)

Asylum because it’s definitely my best map and the “n00b” weapons are really used effectively, making it a DMR/Sniper battle for map/spawn control

Zealot for basically the same reason AND because I finally learned how to play it effectively :slight_smile:

Now for my least favorite map: Sword Base…

Basically, I think sword base takes the least amount of skill to be succesful in, 95% of the time, people camp at the lift landings with sword/shotgun, resulting in 1-3 free kills, it is extremely annoying and a cowardice tactic, but again, this is just my opinion

how about you guys?

Favourite has to be Highlands… good all round map suitable to slayer and objective games alike. That skybox drools

Least favourite has to be Asphalt or whatever it’s called in Big Team Battle. It usually gets BTB Heavy gametypes on it and lags like hell! Very dull looking level, but that might be my bias towards awesome skyboxes compared to Forge building blocks!

What I will say in this thread though (kinda on topic / kinda not) why is there no love for Powerhouse? Every time it comes up in SWAT it’s never voted for (apart from me)… it’s a gorgeous map and perfect for SWAT, but still EVERYONE goes for Sword Base (predictable)! (Rant over) :wink:

I’d say Spire, since I mostly play Invasion, other than that I can’t really pick a favorite.

My least favorite is Asylum, it’s not that I don’t like it, I do, I just rarely do well on that map.

Well, my favorite WAS Kingdom, but I’m boycotting Arena until they bring back my beloved Jetpack.

Least favorite MP is Zealot. I cannot seem to wrap my head around the 3D relationships there, so people are forever getting away or popping up behind me.

Least favorite FF is Waterfront - which seems to be universal. Between the 360-degree spawns and the lasers up on the ridge, it has got to be the most annoying.

I don’t like Boneyard and Hemorrage (did I write that right?) but to be honest there is no map I really like to play on

I miss The Pit, Narrows and Avalanche from Halo 3 so much…

I agree, I liked those Halo 3 maps as well, Avalanche Heavies was one of my favorites in Halo 3.

Least favorite: Countdown

Just a miserable pooping session of camping around corners and at lifts with shotguns and swords.

Favorite, would probably be Kingdom. I just like the pretty simple design, and I haven’t felt any frame lag or met any cowardly campers. Well maybe some jet packers going for higher ground, but they are still shooter-able or weak to nades.

Least favorite, by far, is Pinnacle… I hate that map, it always lag, and I always fall down to the suicide. It’s hard to navigate, and I always end up being stuck some place were I fell “safe” and if move away from that spot, I either get sniped, or as i said, accidentally commit suicide.

I really dislike Tempest. It’s a pain to play on, everyone wants to be a sniper and Red team hides in their rocks 24/7.

Favorite: Zealot and Penance.

Zealot is probably the best map for competitive play and I think Anniversary Classic plays really well on Penance.

Least favorite: Sword Base and Uncaged.

Both maps give distinct advantages to one team and the spawns are pretty bad on Uncaged.

I love Boneyard. There are so many tactical jumps/jet pack spots. I know spots in the 20s on that map and still counting. It’s SO fun to toy with anyone who approaches my areas with the spots. They never know what hit em’.

I just hate Zealot. Team colors blend too well, and it tries to be Heretic from H3 but fails.

Sword Base has always been up there with Pinnacle in terms of my least favorite maps (for Reach).

As for my favorite map, it’d have to be Highlands or Timberland.

Favorite: Highlands

Least: High Noon (CE Hang 'Em High) Not a good map for BTB good for Slayer however.

I would prefer Spire for Invasion and Big Team Battle, Boardwalk and Uncaged for Infection (Due to the various hiding spots), and Asylum for SWAT. I also like Sword Base but the space is being wasted because the top floor (Near the Gravity Lift) is where most of the heat is concentrated.

Another of my least favorites has to be pinacle…it seems to always lag for me, and MLG pit is amazing :slight_smile:

My favorite maps are Asylum, Select/Synapse (with no jetpack), and Zealot

Least Favorite maps Pinnacle, Swordbase, Reflection, and Countdown.
