You answer…
Because it’s a good map?
I hate to say it because I’ve never been a fan of the most popular maps (Guardian, Sword Base, for example) but even though it’s bland as all hell, it is one of, if not the only, competitive small map out there.
It’s a small map that’s easy to Maneuver /thread
Its the only thing close to a MLG map
People like small maps.
343 should take note and not tailor all of their DLC to BTB fans.
It reminds me of Halo 3.
because it’s the only medium size map that aesthetically looks like it belongs to Bungie Halo.
I can use the thruster pack a lot on the lifts and it has a sticky det.
It flows surprisingly well for SWAT. Better than Adrift, and with quite a few clever sightlines.
It’s great for Oddball because it’s easy for a carrier to toss the ball off a cliff and reset it, when under threat.
It’s not great for KOTH or Flood, but it’s not as terrible for that gametype as some other maps are (coughCOMPLEXcough).

and i hate small maps, just saying
but back to the point, because it “MLG PRO” that should sum it up nicely
Because it’s better than every other map in the game.

Time for an off topic rant.
BTB sucks in this game. No matter how many BTB maps they release, BTB will still suck. Vehicles aren’t worth -Yoink-, and the vast amount of long range weapons means you don’t even have to use 10% of the map. No longer can I ride vehicles and have fun fighting them. They just last half a minute and die. Fixing BTB should be one of their top priorities.
If BTB isn’t even playable on the current maps, it definitely won’t be playable on new ones.
On-topic.
It is symmetrical.
It is small-medium.
It flows very well, has a lot of nice sightlines and shortcuts.
It is aesthetically pleasing.
It has a balanced weapon selection.
I give it an 8/10.
It’s not “An MLG Pro” map, it has a giant -Yoink- going through top mid. If that thing wasn’t there, or wasn’t so big it would be way better.
it is the only good map in halo 4
i agree haven is by far the best map in the game

Its symmetrical and its small
thus its competitive.
And even casual players appreciate fair competitive settings, even though they may not realize it

yet to be determined
There are many things that make it good, but to play 9 times consecutively makes me hate it with a passion.
(after the first 3, I left the lobby, played it 2 more times in the next lobby, switched to pro and played it 2 times, quit then played flood and it showed up again)
If I never see that map again…I could enjoy Halo 4.
