I really don't enjoy Sidewinder or Blood Gultch (and I don't know why they have such a fanatical following).
I think I have this figured out on this board. Most of the people that think they are good at this game believe that the only way to win is by sniping. Sidewinder is so big you can go five minutes without seeing anything. Probably the same reason the pistol was so popular.
I feel the same way, Goldenwarrior. I absolutely love Chill Out; it's my all-time favorite map. Just based off my own experiences and talking with friends, I have this theory about Halo 1: when people start, they play the big levels Blood Gulch and Sidewinder, and just try out the smaller levels. But as they play more, they discover how much fun the smaller levels are, like Battle Creek and Hang 'Em High. But eventually they get to the point where only a few levels can consistently be interesting to play, and that usually turns out to be Chill Out, Damnation, and Hang 'Em High. That's why I was disappointed when I came to the Bungie.net forums and found a bunch of people posting things like "Blood Gulch roxxorzz! lol"
A friend who's really, really into music of all kinds told me something once: "You can shop around all you want to, but I think that once you listen to music long enough people just start listening to Radiohead all the time because nothing else is very interesting." I feel the same way about Chill Out.
