For a throwback map pack. And 5 is a good number because it’s halo 5.
I would choose
The Pit, Lockout, Guardian, Sanctuary, Ascension ( If it were a small maps map pack)
Sandtrap, Forgeworld, Death Island, Blood Gulch, Highlands ( If it were a big team map pack)
Rat Race, Derelict, Lockout, Midship and Guardian.
Sandbox(serve as a “forgeworld”), Waterworks, Uplift reserve (big open spaces converted into matchmaking? yes plz), Highlands, and forgeworld from halo reach
I like big maps so: sandtrap, avalanche, forge world, waterworks and relic
Guardian, construct, sandbox, Zanzibar and sandtrap
I cant include orbital and avalanche =(
4v4 maps
btb maps
Terminal
Sanctuary
Prisoner
Gaurdian
Warlock
Assuming the gameplay at all resembles the respective game that is.
THE ULTIMATE REMAKE PACKS
Medium to Large:
Sandtrap
Waterworks
Containment
Blood Gultch (only because I have to)
Sidewinder
Small to Medium:
Guardian
Colossus or Midship
Narrows
Zanzibar
Countdown or Haven (can’t decide!!!)
A few awesome maps didn’t make the cut because they were recently remade or made (Harvest, Battle Creek, Valhalla, Ivory Tower and the likes…).
Since its 5 maps I’ll go with 1 from each game:
Halo CE : Sidewinder
With a few minor alterations Sidewinder could become a great CTF and Dominion map. A spiritual successor would probably be better than a straight-up remake.
Halo 2 : Turf
I never played Halo 2 online but I just went through some videos of different maps. With its urban style Turf looks like it would appeal to the players of CoD and possibly GoW. IMO Turf looks like it would be a great SWAT and Flood map.
Halo 3 : Stand-off
Stand-off was one of my favourite Halo 3 maps. Stand-off always produced enjoyable 4v4 slayer matches. With the way the map is set-up it could very easily become a small Dominion map. Its symmetric nature would also allow for CTF and Assault to play very well.
Halo Reach : Anchor 9
I’m tempted to choose Countdown here, but Anchor 9 is just as good and is more unique. Anchor 9 would be ideal for 4v4 Slayer, SWAT, Oddball and Extraction.
Halo 4 : Day Break
Day Break is a nice symmetric map which plays CTF and Slayer quite well.
Edit: I tried to pick good maps that haven’t been remade a thousand times over. (Yes I realize Sidewinder was reincarnated in Halo 3 as Avalanche).
You know Anchor 9 was a remake of The Pit, right?
> You know Anchor 9 was a remake of The Pit, right?
There are definitely similarities between the two, but it’s not a remake.
You could say the same thing for this set:
Stand-off → Tempest → Day Break
Rat Race, High Ground, Sanctuary, Sidewinder, Forge World
Spire
Guardian
Rats Nest
Sword Base
Sandtrap

And, oh! SANDTRAP

Agreed 100%. The only maps that CAME with 4 are Ragnarok, Adrift and Haven. Solace and Complex are decent. Can’t stand Abandon.

Countdown!
For a next-generation Halo 5? I can pick five from each game.
Blood Gulch
Hang 'Em High
Beaver Creek
Sidewinder
Boarding Action
Warlock
Lockout
Midship
Sanctuary
Ivory Tower
Guardian
Narrows
The Pit
Sandtrap
Orbital
Countdown
Zealot
Anchor 9
Adrift
Exile
Haven

Harvest
Funny how Halo: Reach only seemed to have three maps that I’d like to see return. If I had to compile a list of the best five of these maps:
Blood Gulch/Coagulation
Hang 'Em High/Tombstone/High Noon
Lockout/Blackout
Guardian
Wizard/Warlock
BTB Maps:
Death Island
Blood Gulch
Forge World
Ice Fields
Sandtrap
4v4 Maps:
Boarding Action
Longest
Terminal
Ghost Town
Highlands (maybe)
Any map from Halo 2
