Sometimes we need to talk about the good. Because it can help Halo 6 as well.
My 3 favorite BTB Maps:
-
Viking - Just a wonderful tug of war that is a ton of fun to play. A good balance of vehicles and things to take them down. Call it Valhalla or whatever but me and my friends love it. I have played with maybe 300+ alternate friends and strangers and the ones that talk love it too. Timeless classic with wonderful sitelines.
-
Fracture - So many call outs so little time. Some of the most intense matches have been on this map. Sure if you are getting farmed in the box it isn’t so much fun but get 2 squads together and it is intense!
-
Boulevard . A couple of other maps are close. Eagle Square and Echoes to name a couple. Strongholds on Boulevard is always intense with many levels to manage.
My 3 favorite 4’s maps -
-
Truth - I like the combination of speed up and slow down on this map. It’s a classic that plays well. I like it a little more when it had a Fuel Rod up top.
-
Tyrant - It looks cool and plays really cool and after you get over your 53rd suicide because you made another boost or jump error you realize it’s not the maps fault.
-
Stasis - A great balanced map that also looks really cool.
Coming from a FFA and fiesta player… #1 Torque… This map embodies excatly what H5 maps should be. Not only does it have moving structures but the whole map it self moves. The sites and sounds are excellent. I hated the map at first, mainly because they put two gravhammers on it. After they were removed this map really shined.
#2 Tryant… While there aren’t any moving structures this map is visually awesome. Nice sight lines and nice avenues of appraoch.
#3 Eden… Nicely spread out, again I love the walls that move up and down. They may save you or kill you…
Honorable mentions to… Truth and Molten, both well done maps as well.
4v4
coliseum plaza and tyrant.
8v8
traffic jam, echoes, scavenger.
favorite warzone map is Battle of noctus
favorite assault map is a tie between prospect and dispatch.
I think Molten is a nice map, that’s the only decent map I can think of, not a fan of the rest, barely can remember them either. Think I mainly like Molten because it kind of reminds me of Doom map.
FFA
Molten (I don’t think it is there anymore)
Coliseum (hasn’t been in the 19 matches I’ve played in FFA this season)
Tyrant
Valhalla & midship, thats it.
Only the Developer maps are like from 1-4 are-
- Overgrowth
- Mercy
- Regret
4)That frozen map from the Memories of Reach update
The others are just bad imo
Plaza, molten, tyrant,
Honorable mentions: the rig, fathom, and stasis
Skirmish at Darkstar
Escape From A.R.C.
March on Stormbreak
In that order 
.
I hate Viking with a passion. I think the Gauss Hog and bad matchmaking has ruined that map for me.
I’d say Boulevard SH, Deadlock and Traffic Jam would be my top maps for BTB although I wish Deadlock had default Ghosts as well as the blast shield switch actually working and Traffic Jam had less ammo in the snipers.
I play 4’s less, but I like Truth, Coliseum and Eden.
For Firefight, I don’t really have a favorite, but the most bearable would be Prospect, Darkstar and Urban.
Plaza, Coli and Truth in that order. Eden isn’t bad either.
Viking, the rig, and plaza. If only there were some asymmetrical maps from arena that were memorable

I forgot about Traffic Jam. I think the map is kind of bleh to look at but the playability of it is absolutely amazing! An extremely fun CTF and Assault map for sure.
- The Rig - Coliseum - Riptide (I like the way it looks lol) Honorable mention, Molten and Empire
Out of all the Halo games, I think Halo 5 has the least memorable maps though I’m sorry to say.
