Which maps do you prefer and why?

For me, it'd be Halo 3's. Maps like Guardian, The Pit, Construct and Narrows all had their own "personality", plus battles would be across the entire map, unlike Reach's where you had to make your way over to one spot to be in the firefight, lest you lose out.

Thoughts?

And did somebody forget Forge World? A feature no other Halo will ever know the grace of again...

A space too large for it's own good with a unique pallet of grey, grey, and maybe some light grey from all the rocks.

No thanks, I'd rather they work on the quality of the maps rather than just all the wasted space and grey next time.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the thought that was put into Forge World, but again, the old saying rings true, Quality over Quantity.

Halo 3 had great maps but some of them are as bad as Reach maps like Orbital, Assembly, Orbital, Snowbound/Boundless, Orbital, Isolation, and Orbital.

Even though the possibilities with what you can do with it are almost limitless and you can pretty much make any kind of map you want... ?

Waht?

Really?

I get a feeling you don't like Orbital.

OT: I preferred Halo 3 maps. So many good memories on them.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Is this even a question?

Halo 3. Pretty much the only map in Halo Reach that I actually like is Asylum, which is a remake of a Halo 2 map...

personally i find that forge world is awesome but no large flat terrain its all full of hills and bumps also they don't have a large beach line and all the islands but the big pillar are connected by land if i was the designer i would have of put paradiso a bit more closer to the big pillar and have the beach line stretched more toward the waterfalls and more horizontal also id make boats. for the rest of the reach maps spire is ok but some of the map is only used in the first tier of invasion same goes for boneyard , halo 3 had several good classic's like valhala and sandtrap not to mention my personnal favorite avalanche those maps had the battle all mostly in the center or around (sandtrap) plus halo 3 had a variety of map temperatures you had summer (valhala) you had desert (sandtrap,sandbox) and winter (avalanche) when reach had just about only summer maps.

big conclusion halo 3 maps were awesome, reach not so much but still awesome.

I DO have time to bleed...i just dont want to.

halo 3 ftw. most of the maps in reach matchmaking are forge maps and the normal reach maps are pretty boring

  • 01.31.2012 2:52 AM PDT

Halo 3 all the way it was the first halo game i properly played and finished, didnt feel like they had used forge to create all the maps and that everything was community made. Loved halo 3.

Both are kind of mediocre when it comes to selection of maps.
I would say I like Reach best however. And that's mostly due to the DLC and Anniversary maps.
Also: if people play properly on Swordbase for instance, that map can be epic.

H3 had its great maps. Highground, Valhalla, Guardian, Narrows just to name a few. But the rest was kind of lackluster compared to H2.

So...we've got 2 game with lackluster maps, but I still prefer Reach a tad better.

Reach maps just arent pleasing to the eye, and the two days that i played Reach MM the big maps were totally domimated by tanks. Only way to stop them was a kamikaze mission on a mongoose and try to hijack or bash it. That one that looks like valhalla was terrible. Tanks with no laser, rockets, or missile pod. Plus it was completely flat and totally wide open. I called it Nebraska vallhala. The original was more like Montana valhalla. I preordered Reach and kept it for a month. That was wnough for me.

I would like to try Reach weapons/vehicles/abilities with H3 maps. Still might be far worse than H3 but i would try it.

Actually I do have it, and I got lucky with the grenade.

Orbital is just hallways with no ability to dodge enemy fire whatsoever.
