I know this might sound a little whiny but I’m sick of looking at the inside of UNSC ships in multiplayer maps. I understand the irony of that as the whole multiplayer takes place on a holodeck inside the largest starship ever created by the UNSC.
What I’m trying to get at is this…
Making a map on a ship is just a scapegoat to uninspired developers that can’t figure out what other landscapes would work well for the layout. I’m not dissing Adrift as it does have a decent layout and it looks pretty good on the inside and outside. I just think it would look better with a Sanctuary/Delta Halo theme or really anything else. Be original and stop making maps aboard UNSC vessels. Their are many other themes out their.
Orbital was a treat. It was the only good space station map… Condemned would have been good, except the low-gravity room in the middle ruined it.
Sure, Halo is a futuristic scifi game, but no need to make it too obvious. I prefer green lush valleys over grey, dull space stations, hangars or space ships. Then again, if 343i for some reason lacks talented map creators, they won’t hire any new ones this late, one can only hope for more map packs by Certain Affinity, they did quite good maps (although one space/grey one).

…
Anyway, agreed with OP. The space station design is lazy and overdone. Coincidentally enough, there hasn’t been one good one. Hopefully Adrift can change that.

Are we counting Midship in that list? If so then I don’t agree.

then go back to CoD
Agreed. Overusing space stations is just laziness at this point.

Wat
So… was Derelict aboard a Forerunner space station/ship?

That’s a mature remark. I would like to see jungle maps. I think they could do good things with jungle shown in the campaign gameplay.

How does CoD have anything to do with this. Oh wait I forgot apparently everything in halo 4 is a CoD clone.

Stop being such a 343 fanboy. Being abrasive to people who dislike things you like is stupid and ignorant.
OT: Name all of the space station maps in Reach.
I would enjoy a space station map if it were good.
I sort of know what you mean… Personally I would just like to see maps based on some other space-based locations. I mean what about on a Super Mac like the Cairo? Or a Marathon class cruiser? The remains of the Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice? A rebel colony? Wreckage from Installation 04?
The Halo world is full of amazing locations that I would like to visit even through multiplayer. I am surprised that so many of these places haven’t been considered for multiplayer maps.
Would it kill them for a medium vertical jungle-themed asymmetrical map with very bright visuals?
Covenant/Forerunner space station’s might not be bad. I think I remember one called the Unyielding Hierophant being mentioned retrofitting Covenant Super Carrier’s in the Fall of Reach?
But yea agreed, if they absolutely must do “spppaaaaccceee!” map’s, why not a map similar to Boarding Action, but one side’s UNSC the other Covenant? idk.
I enjoy art of the Halo Universe in every aspect. To me it just wouldn’t feel right not having a space station type map.

Condemned and Zealot. Do I get a cookie?
I’d love for there to be a map based on the station Delphi whilst the Circumference was still docked… or on Cradle. There are dozens of really interesting locations that would make for amazing map locations.

Condemned, Zealot, Anchor 9, and - if we’re counting Firefight - Corvette. Also, depending on your opinion on the definition of “Space Station”, you might also say Countdown, Installation 4, and some might say Solitary counts. However, the first four are definite.
I’ll be taking that cookie.
Fully OT: I agree with the over-simplification of the Space-based maps. However, I’m still sort of waiting on a map that addresses an Invasion setting in space. Thinking along the lines of Star Wars: Battlefront II, a map where you could traverse between a Covenant (Or Forerunner/Promethean) and a UNSC/Covenant vessel in space would be amazing (Worthy to note it would also work well for BTB). Other than that, a map with the jungle stylization of the intro level for Halo 3 would be good. It would have perfect support for Invasion, Slayer, and BTB gametypes because of how vast the setting is. Multiple locations of long sight lines, but in the more-so tree-lined areas the sight lines grow poor, allowing for the BTB gametype to be supported due to maneuverability and the capability to hide for a short time. Other gametypes like CTF and even Infection could possibly weasel their way in, too.

You know I took a full 3 minutes to recite the names of the multiplayer maps just to make sure I didn’t forget one… and I forgot Anchor 9… My favorite maps… you deserve the cookie
