You left out Halo: Reach dude. My favorite maps are Highlands from Halo Reach and Ridgeline, which is remake of Timberlands. I'd honestly rather not see any maps return from previous games. The reason for saying this is because since playing Halo 4, I've played Ragnarok more times than I care to remember (I had the same problem with Hemorrhage in Halo: Reach). The problem is that those kinds of maps are the ones that are going to get voted for the most. I would not have a problem if those maps if they weren't getting voted for all the time. I'd like to just see brand new maps in Halo 4, Halo 5, and Halo 6. No more remakes.
I would love to see The Pit and Guardian return (I know, original). There's a reason why these maps have been remade so much, they are the best maps for 4v4!
Citadel. Massively underrated and I think is a reasonably transferable design, plus it's not one of the "classic" maps so you could probably do more to adapt the design appropriately without people kicking up a fuss.
Coagulation (Halo 2) Terminal (Halo 2) Relic (Halo 2) Containment (Halo 2) Avalanche (Halo 3) Last Resort (Halo 3) Orbital (Halo 3) Citadel (Halo 3)
Sandbox and Sandtrap would be my top 2 that I wish would return. But they really need to do something about BTB in matchmaking to make it more fun instead of annoying. With that being said, there is only 3 more maps coming and we're done. What a shame.
Coag with DMR's would be awful. Other than that, this list pretty much sums up my own. With a particular emphasis on Avalanche and Containment. Been missing the good ol' days of the bombastic, carnage filled BTB matches of yesteryear.
Thinking more about it, you're right. But it wouldn't be as bad if the sight lines were slightly tweaked and the map wasn't overloaded with heavy vehicles.
I think DMR is awful for BTB period. Prevents map movement and makes the game stale and annoying. It was much better in Reach or at least I could have fun in BTB matchmaking. I guess that is cause Bungie was making the maps and not CA. I really miss the old Halo BTB, especially Halo 3, where you could move anywhere on the map and vehicles lasted more than 10 seconds.
Rat's Nest. My all time favorite BTB. Man, that map was a beast, great layout, awesome for both infantry and vehicular combat fans, and so competitive. But give me any map from Halo 3, they were all godly.
Snowbound (Halo 3) Albeit not so.... white... Guardian (Halo 3) The Pit (Halo 3) Construct (Halo 3) Lockout (Halo 2) Already done with Shutout... Played a game of swat on this and almost wept tears of joy. Coagulation (Halo 2) Longest (Halo CE) Hang 'Em High (Halo CE) Sidewinder (Halo CE)
Just remake everything. Simples Construct High Ground Last Resort (rather than zanzibar) Vanilla Valhalla Not the pit. Guardian Snowbound Sandtrap, Sandtarp Ragnarok HEAVIES Citadel
