So far, my favorite is Yoyorast Island. It may not be the best per say, but it is still very good, and it is very popular.

Shame on anyone who votes for Coldsnap. That map sucks.

In high definition baby!

Hugeass because it is a very large map and I like the Longsword bomber. One time I was high up in the air, then I randomly nuke somewhere, then I got a triple kill killing a pelican pilot, a Warthog, and an aircraft.

I have to agree with the previous posts... but I also like an AI map called Hang 'Em High AI (Yes, I know, not too creative) by Ajayhayter (or something like that). Man, that map can be fun, especially for mod testing... o_O

I have that map, its the only AI map that doesn't kill frame rate.

I so far think that Yoyorast is the best. While being a tad linear, I think the creativity is awesome for it.

If I had to choose based solely on custom content, it would either be Coldsnap (for the very well done jet) or Dojo (awesome grenades).

There aren't enough poll choices to include all the maps, and I want to say right now that I seriously dislike Gheyass, or Oldcrap. Those maps are so huge, and way unbalanced. Totally overrated.

I like Mothergoat's maps, they are 73h pwn393. CMT's maps are pretty damned awesome.

Yoyorast Island FTW. I also like saying that name. Yay-your-ass!

Main reason I put them there is b.c they are most popular. Honeslty I think other will be one of the highest %s in the voting.

I voted extinction b/c of all the great custom input and a great sniper map(many custom snipers)

pelicans
longswords
mythos
coldsnap jets (just slower and rockets instead of mgs)
Scarab walker from halo2

The only bad thing about this map is it is notorious for lagging like crazy when more than 5 ppl join. Thats why a couple dedis have this map, since they solve the problem.

This should never have been a poll, there are nearly a thouand maps for CE, and you seven or eight can't cover them. Half of the maps on the poll suck too. But if I must answer....

Portent, because the map's level design is the best I have ever witnesed. All of the useless weapons like the Needler, AR and Plasma Rifle were toned up perfectly, not to strong, not to weak. And it basicly has the best visuals I've ever scene. Animated skylines, lighting effects, each texture and spound is perfect. From my point of view this map is better than wht bungie could do. NOW GO DOWNLOAD IT!!!

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Yoyorast Island is pretty creative, and fun to play on as long as there aren't too many spawn killers around.

The problem with yoyorest is that you have to travel SO far to get the flag, and every time I'm just three inches away from it a guy with a rocket launcher pops out. Though some people consider that fun. But yes, yoyorest is a really good map.

Yeah, it's true that getting a flag can be super hard when people camp around the flag area. I've left a few games in frustration over that. I guess ideally, teammates should be around to ferret out the rocket guys.

Out of the list you have, Yoyorast. New maps suck these days, with the exception of a few.

Ya, it's true that it can be hard to get the flag on Yoyorast, but KotH is prety good on it, and it's one of the best race maps I've ever seen.

I just downloaded portent. It is 1337! It just looks and feels awsome and it's well laid out so even though it's fairly big (about as big, if not biger, then danger canyon) you can still survive with the lack of vehicles.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Whenever I log on to play, the only map I play on most occasions is Yoyorast Island...I know that map in and out and it never gets old...I love sitting in the sniper with that music playing and sniping people, then turning anround and blasting that camo guy coming up the ladder, or stealing the flag and walking right underneath the central sniper tower where the enemy sniper is sitting...and of course those pistol and shotgun wars at the begining of games when each team spawns on the opposite stairs to the garage are fun!

Vegan Straight Edge

New Mombassa Classic by far. no body rocks this map anymore. i play the H2 variant once in a while, but it's too buggy. i hope someone recreates this for H2V. maybe i'll just have to do it myself ;-)

I'd have to go with Yoyorast. The jets in Coldsnap are pointless if someone's in a damned near invisible position (Say, a Pelican at the top of the level or a Longsword, whatever floats your boat) with the sniper. Yoyorast is also fun because of the stunts capability and the sheer (Correct me if it's shear instead of sheer) design of the level. Hugeass and Coldsnap are just...big empty wastelands. The wierd mechs in those levels also creep me out a bit whenever I see them, they're just kind of...insane-looking (Besides the Mythos, that reminds me of a Mammoth Mk.II from Tiberian Sun). Though Yoyorast may not be as modded as the other two, I'd say that it's better that way, because enough modding and you've made a completely different game. In Coldsnap, I feel like I'm not even playing Halo anymore, which disturbs me. So....
Yoyorast Island FTW.
