Elongation for me. It's not just because of the map its self, but how Bungie made it so much of a better map. Halo: Combat Evolved's Longest was an absolutely terrible map. As soon as I heard they were bringing it back my face went sour. Once I played it, though, I absolutely loved the changes. A complete 180 degree turn in terms of how well that map plays.
If I were just basing it off how much I love the map its self, I would have to go with Tombstone. I loved it in Halo: Combat Evolved and it works just as well in Halo 2.

who could pass up Coagulation?I would. Even though Coagulation improves a lot of what made Blood Gulch broken, I still hate the map. The entire map is just too simple in theory. Two bases on the opposite side of a semi-symmetrical canyon. The caves/cliffs don't even really add any depth like Bungie intended them to. For the most part it's just a long distance, completely linear, bore-fest for me. You see enemies coming from a mile away, the vehicles are, for the most part, over-powered, and way too easy to anticipate the enemy's moves.
Blood Gulch was worse, though. If you were a good sniper you could spawn kill from your own base. That sort of stuff annoyed the absolute hell out of me. Hang 'Em High/Tombstone might have had the spawn kill from your own base issue as well, but at least most of the spawns were behind cover where the enemy couldn't see. (Which they fixed for the most part in Coagulation by adding more depth to the bases) I felt that Valhalla on Halo 3 was a much better map in terms of what Blood Gulch was supposed to be. That's just me, though.
Well... That's me admitting Blood Gulch is my fourth most hated map in the Halo franchise... First being Chiron TL-34, second being Boarding Action, and third being Longest. I'm the only person I've ever met that loves Halo: Combat Evolved (PC) the most out of the Halo franchise that hates this map as well...
