Harvest is the best Halo 4 map, hands down.

I don't need no stinking signature!

I find most of halo 4's maps to be overly cluttered, a lot of fighting around corners which i don't care for.

At least haven and adrift have some nice chances for hallway shootouts, but they both have so few paths that they get repetitive.

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

I like them alright, they're better than anything Reach regurgitated out and called a map, but they still don't really have any that stand out and some are really bad. (Solace, Adrift, Abandon)

Halo 2 has the best maps in the series. Ill fight you to death over that.

Title reads: Halo 4's map design is one of the best in the series


Halo Wars has better damn maps than Halo 4.

Reach and H4 have the worst, hands down.

I will agree that Reach had some lackluster maps, but could you go more in depth as to your hatred of H4's maps? I understand everyone has their opinion and wish to hear yours.

The only maps worth mentioning out of Halo 4 are Haven and Adrift.

I beg to differ. Meltdown, Longbow, and Shatter are some phenomenal BTB maps in my opinion. Abandon is one the best FFA maps I have had the pleasure of playing also.
I like all the BTB maps, it's most of the Smaller ones I can't stand.


I would rather play on Snowbound or Swordbase than Abandoned.

We all wear masks and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing our own skin.

Almost every single map gives the better spawn to the red team. If a map, right from the start, gives one of the teams a massive advantage, it's a horribly unbalanced map. Halo 4 maps suck.

Well there's no point in vehicles in Halo 4 if everyone can spawn with Sticks, Plasma Pistols, and anti-everything guns.

Meltdown has little to no room to drive even a Warthog, and with so many tight corners you're bound to fall victim to the anti-everythings.

Longbow is just whoever controls B wins.

Exile is laughable and only appeals to those who spawn with the Gauss Hog. The infantry environments on it are pretty straight forward and not to mention one base is copied and pasted from Longbow. (Mixed up the names)


Shatter is alright, but even then it's not amazing.

Agreed, it definitively contrasts its poorly designed counterparts in that DLC.

If I were on a computer I would but since Im on my 360 and it takes forever to write, I cant give a well written reason on my almost every map sucks.

Except for Harvest which really stands out.

I love Halo 4, but I disagree.

I usually enjoyed Halo for the arena-styled maps, and H4 just has too many BTB and unsymmetrical free-roam -blam!-.

You're delusional.

On the whole, Halo 4s map design is better than Reaches but the maps are still terrible compared to actually good maps from Halo:CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3. Halo 2 had the best maps in the series by far.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

No OP. You're doing it wrong.

  • 01.06.2013 5:01 PM PDT

So, this baby seal walks into a club...

Not a lot of people are going to agree with your opinion OP.

A lot of Halo players are upset with the lack of symmetrical maps, including myself. Personally, I will always vote for Haven or Ragnarok over any other maps simply because they are symmetrical. I feel that Haven is the only map that had some degree of thought and map design. Every other map (while they may not be recycled from campaign) feel as though they were carelessly thrown into multiplayer. There have been some great maps in Halo's history such as: Highground, Lockout, Guardian, Ascension, etc.

However, just as a caveat, bungie designed those maps. This is 343's first game. Hopefully, they have some form of trend analysis where they can see which maps are up-voted the most in matchmaking (if it's not obvious already, unless my perception of the most played maps just sucks).

Also, Exile is the absolute worst Halo map I have ever played.

This.

I have to agree with this. The aesthetics remind me of Halo 2's terminal somewhat. If only 343i would give us a one flag gametype though...

Yeah I'll play Exile when it comes up too...... but the games on that map are unmemorable. I mean.... I enjoy it at the here-and-now, but the map design itself combined with ordinance drops and instant respawn just makes for games that I don't remember because they are so samey and predictable.

At least with maps like Ragnarok and Longbow there is a team-vs-team feel to it, and sometimes even some creative and interesting moments. Sometimes.

It's alright, for a BTB map, I personally think it's one of the most campy.
