In this thread, you will find a comprehensive list of maps that were left for dust in the old Halo games. If you had a favorite map, you will most likely find it here considering that over 90% of all maps were re-made by the community. There are multiple choices for a lot of them, so find one that fits the feel you love!
Coagulation: (Halo 2’s Blood Gulch)
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-competitive-maps/120819-coagulation.html
Personally, this is one of my favorite remakes. Lots of attention to detail and feels pretty close to the real thing when you’re playing with the classic slayer variant.
Sierra 117: (Multiplayer Version)
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-competitive-maps/119771-halo-3-sierra-117-a.html
Sometimes you’re running through campaign and think, “Hey, this would be a great multiplayer map!”, and some people take it upon themselves to make that a reality.
Cargo Port: (Another campaign location!)
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-competitive-maps/120093-cargo-port.html
There was a LOT of work put into this map, and I can say with confidence that it is one of the funnest maps I have played on. Give it a try, and play all the gametypes you can! Each one brings a new unique experience.
de Aztec: (Counter-Strike Remake)
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-competitive-maps/117242-de_aztec.html
Who’s to say you’re favorite map had to be a Halo original? I’ve played some great maps and wished I could enjoy them on a different game on many occasions. Maybe some need to be tweaked a bit to fit a games play style or limits, but I’m sure you’ll find your way around!

Genome
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/featured-maps/113635-genome.html
Is competitive play your forte? Check out on of the funnest maps I’ve played MLG on. If you want a more casual version, check out the separate download link at the bottom, labeled as “Genetic”.
Poseidon’s Lair
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/featured-maps/113110-poseidons-lair.html
Test your brain in the home of the God of the Sea. This puzzle will have you guessing your way through more than 20 puzzles. Don’t stress though, a checkpoint system will make sure you don’t pull your hair out!
Attainment
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/featured-maps/117301-attainment.html
A great slayer map. In my opinion, this map is a shining example of what a truly great symmetrical map should be.
Mini-Games:

Maybe you don’t want to play any specific gametype. All you want to do is link up with some friends and pass the time with some laughs. Mini-games are a great way to enjoy a different side of Halo.
Double Ranbow All the Way…
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-mini-game-maps/112660-double-rainbow-all-way.html
Almost every custom lobby I’ve been in the past few weeks, this map/game surfaces. What’s more fun then flying down a hallway at breakneck speeds while everything seems to explode around you? Check it out, it’s really a lot of fun!
In Your Base, Stealin’ Your Flags
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-mini-game-maps/116962-stealin-your-flags.html
A different take on CTF. Goose across the map to a flag dispenser. Goose back to the checkpoint to score a flag. Rinse and repeat, sounds easy right? Of course I forgot to mention the shower of rocket-hog fire constantly raining down from the heavens…
Don’t EMP Me, Bro
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-mini-game-maps/119787-dont-emp-me-bro.html
It’s like rocket race, except you don’t explode into the distance as often… A nice new take on the gametype. I hope to see more maps made for this!
This thread is a continued work in progress. If the community shows enough interest, I will change the maps listed on a frequent basis. Please submit any maps you make, enjoy, or ideas for maps.
