Epitaph is my favorite Halo 3 map. It is a perfect example of Single Atrium designs which results to be my favorite layout style.
Single Atrium design is as it sounds: the map is based around one large atrium. Single Atrium maps often feature tunnels and other sub areas that all somehow link to the main atrium. Usually it is located at the center of the map, with the other (smaller) areas surrounding it. These maps tend to be smaller than other Atrial maps, and usually they're smaller than Natural maps as well. Versatile Single Atrium maps usually have many stories to them and promote vertical movement.
Pros: Easy-to-learn layout for newcomers, easily balanced, easy to build
Cons: Difficult to support large amounts of players, concentrated flow can lead to "kill zones," fast gameplay makes objective games less strategic
