Yep, Ivory Tower is fun. I guess I like whichever one I'm playing on the best.

Here are my favs

Hide and seek-Most maps
Swat- all except for lockout (no challenge because too much camping)
Snipers-Big maps (including the island and tombstone remake)
Team Slayer- anywhere anytime
Boxing-Lockout (I bounce on top of the lift building and act as anouncer (still working on Dick Vitell voice)
CTF- Anywhere but Warlock ( Hate that stupid tactic of grabbing the flag and telehopping. Worse than grabbing flag from under base in coag from 1.0 days)

I basically prefer anti camper maps where you have to actually fight the other team. Now I'm not saying we should all line up like the old days of the british firing lines, but I wan to earn a win and not a cheap victory.

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

Warlock, any map that you can spawn kill (within .03 seconds of their spawn) with a shotgun is freaking 1337.

HeHe, are you saying that a solid row of red makes for an easy target??? Seriously though, what maps do you consider anti-camper maps?

Also, what is "boxing?" Is it a melee only contest?

Warlock is usually anti camper and so are Desolation and Backwash. I like turf as well since if someone IS camping then it's usually pretty easy to dislodge them.

Boxing is a gametype with only plasma pistols and no shields. So melee only, but sometimes just to mess with people I stand back and shoot people. Not enough to kill them, but enough to get their attention.

Hmm, that sounds interesting. Are grenades allowed? Also, if you'e the announcer, is it one on one like an actual boxing match or do multiple teammates play at the same time?

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

Boxing is plasma pistol melee only, go the the middle above glass and punch till you get punched, repeat. That simple.

Midship.


There is plenty of cover, it isnt too big or small and there is always action. Its all about map control.

I like lockout. Tombstone SUCKS BAWLS. Especially for snipers. I hope they get rid of that map

Overall, I like Lockout, Midship, and Ascension the best.

The maps I probably hate the most are Beaver Creek, (too much whoring of the teleporters), Tombstone, (spawning in the middle of the map = Death Sentence), and Desolation, (seriously, I -blam!- spawned on top of a live grenade there before).

For Snipers, I am quite fond of Ascension, Lockout, and Headlong, (Terminal and Burial Mounds can burn in hell). For objective gametypes, I like Zanzibar, Burial Mounds, and Terminal. For KoTH, I LOVE Midship, Gemini, and Lockout. I loathe Territories, so I hate every map that it's on.

Midship is the most versatile of all the maps. Great for Slayer based games and Objective games. Very few maps can play as many gametypes as Midship can.

Ivory Tower, Sanctuary, Turf, and Terminal are all great maps too.

I perform the best at Zanzibar and Turf but my favorite map greatly depends on what game is being played. If it's Slayer I prefer a smaller map like Warlock or Lockout. If it's CTF I prefer the classic match of Coagulation. On Halo 1 me and my friends would have hours of fun with CTF on Blood Gulch (remember that awesome sniper spot behind Red Base that allowed you to pick off enemies all the way across the map? I remember getting over 100 kills in a 2 hour CTF game there one time with about 70 or so coming from that spot lol). I really really enjoy Tombstone because I loved Hang em High. I really despise Elongation because of the boxes and moving floors. Foundation is a fun map for custom game types (shotguns) and I love playing Assault on Terminal. I despise Ivory Tower just because I hate the battle for the sniper spawn area. Everyone tends to run to that one single spot every single game and it's very annoying. Backwash is just a horrible map unless you're playing Hide and Seek or Zombies. Relic is fun for snipers, as well as Headlong. I guess you really have to know the maps to do well on Xbox live. I've noticed that because of my knowledge of the maps from XBL I own my friends on LAN that don't play on XBL. However, if you want to win-you better learn to like whatever map you're playing on!

my favorite maps: lockout, turf, ascension, and tombstone (don't hate, hang 'em high was the best map in halo 1)
least favorite: MIDSHIP, beaver creek, and waterworks
all the others are good depending on what game you're playing
