IMO i think these maps should comeback to Halo. It seems these have been lost in time and the were great maps. So i wonder…why leave them behind.
Now, I am all for Devs making creative new maps but from what i have seen of Halo 4 it seems that they haven’t really made Halo Maps. So list is below. Agree disagree, discuss if you wish.
P.S. these all could be brought back in a type of Forge World if possible so like in reach it wouldn’t take away any maps.
I can’t believe rat race never got any kind of redo. I always loved it as an assymetric slayer map.
Turf, Guardian, Ghost Town, Colossus, Zanzibar, and Epitaph also jump out as maps I would love to see brought back. Chiron would be nice to have available for chuckles, but I can live a thousand life times without living through that in matchmaking.
It is the feel of all these classic maps that make me hope they decide to remove sprint and cater to a more traditional style of game play. On that list Colossus is the only one that might play better with sprint and jet pack.

I really think you’re onto something with the idea of Mombasa Streets as a Firefight map
Thanks Ghost of Maine,
that was literally something i had just thought of while i was making the list. I thought about it for about 10 seconds and said…that would be awesome. A big brawl of firefight covering an entire area. I would say call it invasion but…you know what so it could be called Siege. Objectives would appear up as you fought. I think i might make a second thread just about a gametype like that.
I do agree, 343i created some beautiful maps visually, but I really haven’t played any of them and thought, one day this map will be remade.
A few I love from H4 are Abandon (which is funny because I hated it when I first saw it) Adrift, and Haven. Not sure If I can see those maps ever remade though…

Adrift I can see being the inspiration for a map much like Countdown utilized the basic map design of Construct. The basic layout isn’t the problem, the geometry is.
Abandon could get something of a remake if it just had some kind of vertical structure at blue end and caves to bypass the metal ramp on the left hand side to fix some of the imbalance.

Last Resort was already a remake of Zanzibar from Halo 2. Why remake a remake? They did the same with Blood Gulch twice, and it became stale. I’d hate to see that happen to a good map like Last Resort.

Last resort and blood gulch were perfectly designed maps adding at least on liked and balanced map. Plus both maps are interesting.

Nothing would keep you from tweaking Zanzibar either (DON’T DO IT!). I like Valhalla better than blood gulch.

Ragnarok doesnt work as well as Hemmorage did with the new stuff introduced. For example blue team has a worse spawn and whoever holds the hill basically wins. It’s not really bad but neither is it really good. Blood gulch is a classic, works well with DMR (yes it does before people start) and should definitely return.
Everyone forgets sandtrap with its beautiful colour theme and it plays well, plus you could bring back the best map that the community made for the ground, sky bubble and the crypt along with it resulting in more maps in one. (It must keep it’s sunset lighting though felt right)

Can’t really speak to Ragnarok as they decided it wasn’t fit for 4v4 play sometime between Halo 3 and 4 despite the introduction of map smallening features like sprint. Valhalla is still one of my favorite maps based on how it played in Halo 3.
I’ve never much cared for big team battle, so Blood Gulch has only ever been a team snipers map as far as i’m concerned.

Blood gulch worked really well in Reach, however it could use some extra cover, possibly an underground pathway, some more caves and the dips in the land could be made deeper to add more cover.
