"I'm not camping, I'm lying in wait..."

At least, not initially.
There are quite a few threads out here about what maps people want remade for Reach, but here's the thing: the maps never quite live up to what they were before. Lockout to Blackout, for example. The map flows the same, so it's still a good map, but the addition of lots of extras has changed a lot of dynamics on the map that helped make it the classic everyone wanted back. There are always things lost in translation between two games, and these can alter the gameplay that made the map classic in the first place.
So I propose that Reach ship with all new maps. No remakes in it whatsoever. Any remakes Bungie wants to do should be saved for DLC (make it all one big map pack). Reach will likely feature new gameplay mechanics and features that won't play nice with older maps, again, altering what made our favorite maps classic.
Besides, if this is Bungie's last Halo game, then this is their last chance to introduce new maps. Why waste space on a map everyone's played before?
No. I want Rat's Nest. It's my favorite map, to me it's the only map in Halo 3 that has vehicles, but doesn't sometimes turn into a case of one team controlling the map, and the other being forced to camp inside. I think the way the map is designed allows vehicles to flow, but doesn't create those open spaces where people get trapped by vehicles. You can still go on vehicle rampages, but a well placed trip mine can end your spree. So it depends on whether or not Bungie can create maps that have the same feeling as some of the better maps, but aren't the same map.
