Why does everbody keep voting exile. What makes that map so good?? And what are some good strategies to use on that map?? I personally think the person that made that map should be fired and never to participate in any map creating in the future. PERIOD.
Exile’s a good map. The problem is that it’s so over played, it gets dull and you begin to just hate the damn thing (my experience anyway).
It isn’t really a bad map, but it just comes up way too often. In Big Team I understand why, if you are Blue Team you get a Gauss Hog and pretty much win. Honestly though, it isn’t all that much different than other maps in Halo 4, just natural environments with human clutter.
It has both: open spaces for vehicular combat, and tight hideouts for infantry (unlike Ragnarok, which has only open spaces and I wonder if it would be so popular if it’s not from Halo 3).
However I think most people choose it because of it’s artwork. I mean layout is ok, apart from blue team having much easier access to Gauss Hog and Banshee in the beginning we can say it’s well-constructed. But it wouldn’t be so popular if there was no sunshine and mountains and green flora. I think people miss those things a lot in Reach, which was gray and sad.
everyone’s just dying to blow up their own team’s tank, i assume.
it will be interesting to see what those types resort to once vehicular friendly fire is taken out as was suggested in this week’s uhh… official weekly post thing.
I just love jumping into any one of the three different hogs on the map, and there’s plenty of other vehicles to blow up. 
Also, no ridiculous mantis. I like the idea of the mantis. Just think it’s a little bit too powerful. On Valhalla, it’s impossible to take anything else out, really, until the enemy’s mech has been destroyed.
Exile is the only map I’ve managed to get Perfection achievements on so far
Yes it comes up a lot, but I only get to play 3 or 4 games a night, so if it comes up 3 out of 4 its not so bad IMO. I dont mind it.
I leave whenever it comes up. F***ing sick of that map.
I mainly play dominion or big team and its either longbow or exile that gets voted for. I actually dont mind either map, but it gets a bit stale and repetitive after a while.

youre happy to play the same map 75% of the time?
put simply, it’s sort of a broken map, and a lot of players like things that are broken…thus Boltshot and DMR being popular, and vehicles loosing some of their popularity. vehicles aren’t really broken anymore, and are now just mobile turrets.
Only map with tank I rest my case
It’s a tank
It’s a good map, the only map with Scorpion and Gauss Warthog.
Also love I’m like the only guy who pick up the rockets at the start.
Starting to see people play more Vortex btw. The only map with Wrath and Rocket Warthog.
And also Longbow (one of my most disliked maps 
).
Now if only more people choose Meltdown.
Notice Dominion almost always has the least amount of players. This is because of Exile being used all the time. I tend to speak my mind right after they vote for it and back out because I’m absolutely sick of it!
What’s so good about Exile?
I never have to play on it because it’s only for crowded, chaotic playlists that I don’t bother entering.
I have a theory…
The Green Grass Theory.
People vote for maps with green grass. 
Blood Gulch, Coagulation, Hemorrhage, Valhalla, Ragnarok, Exile. Always so popular.
Spartans love green grass.
It has a Scorpion and a Gauss. Want tips? Hope you get blue team and camp the Gauss hog. If red team, try to take over blue teams spawn and camp Gauss hog. Once in Gauss hog keep it at the end of the map where it spawns at. If you drive it around the map you will not last long.
It’s the only map in halo matchmaking history to have a scorpion tank and gauss warthog. It’s as simple as that.
I thinks it’s a great map but it always gets voted for in btb and dominion, it does get tiresome.
i never liked it even on first day, its just complete randomness, i think it might be good without the little mountain in the middle and something else there.
