Now that I’ve played several games of Team Slayer, FFA, SWAT, and CTF on Tyrant, I can definitely say that it’s my favorite of the maps from updates, and now in my top 4 favorite Halo maps of all time. Tyrant is one of the most visually stunning maps I’ve seen in Halo, if not THE most. Love the close sun/star that casts golden light on half the map, while the other half is in shadow with blue light, it’s gorgeous!
As for how it plays, I love all the different routes you can take everywhere, and all the jumps you can do to get to different areas quickly. And I love that there are no automatic weapons on map, makes for a lot more Magnum battles. Love the weapon placements on map, I wouldn’t change any of them. Originally before I played a game of CTF on Tyrant, I thought it was a terrible idea. I thought Tyrant would be an awful map for CTF. But after playing just one game, I realized it’s actually one of the best maps for CTF. Actually, In my opinion now, I would definitely have to say it’s the best map for CTF. Even better than Coliseum and Truth, which are in my top 4 favorite maps. There are just so many routes to get from one base to the other. You have a short and fast route, a longer route, and a sneaky route. Makes counter-capping feel a lot more strategic, and when done right, it’s so awesome! It’s also excellent for SWAT because of all the different sight lines, and sneaky routes.
Anyways, excellent job on Tyrant 343! Thank you!

I think the map is alright, but the middle of the map is just really weirdly made, to me it completely breaks the fluidity of the map. and There’s no great map control spots. but it looks absolutely amazing, better than the white, shiny plastic with “UNSC” plastered everywhere that all the other maps offer.

I don’t think so at all, it maintains the fluidity of the map very well. The main control spot I’ve seen is the area where Sniper spawns. But also the bases and top mid are areas of high traffic. “better than the white, shiny plastic with “UNSC” plastered everywhere that all the other maps offer.” I dunno about UNSC plastered everywhere or white plastic, but the only Arena maps I can think of that might remotely resemble that description are Empire, Eden, Torque, and Riptide. But I certainly don’t think they even look like that. And maps like Coliseum, Truth, The Rig, or Regret, definitely don’t look like that.
It’s ok for circular H5 maps that 343 has been putting out. I would like the sniper replaced with a small arms weapon to make it a close quarters map. It would separate the good from bad and lucky w/o 1 kill shot weapons.
I think Tyrant plays very nicely. It is perfect for objective modes.

Galactica, spot on as usual.

Holy crap, I leave for a couple months and you become a Spartan. Alrightey then.
Also, I agree on Tyrant. Absolutely love that map.
I love the design of the map.

I’d hardly call it circular, lol. I didn’t like the Sniper being on map at first, but I actually really like it now. No weapon takes more skill to use than the Sniper. There is a Scattershot on the map as well. They are only one-shot weapons if you’re good with them. What really separates the good from the bad is Magnum battles. And there’s plenty of them on Tryant.

Nevermind, I was wrong, they do have Assault on Tyrant, and it works very well! Love this map for every gametype!
