A question for Halo 3 players?

I am an avid Halo 3 player as I was in Halo 2 and Halo. But I have to say that of the 3 games, the maps in Halo 3 are by far the worst overall in the series Imo! I mean seriously when Im in matchmaking on XBL the only maps that dont get vetoed are High Ground, Epitaph, Last Resort, Guardian and The Pit! Everyone I know HATES Snowbound, Isolation and Construct and most are 50/50 at beston Narrows, Valhallaand Sand Trap.

I tell you what if Bungie really wants us to continue to play Halo 3 like we did the first two, they better pull some better maps out of their tails!! Hey here's an idea. Instead of making all of the new, worthless maps, how about remaking some more classics like Rat Race, Sidewinder, Prisoner, Boarding Action, Ascension and Lockout!!!

Am I the only one who notices that all of the battles on most of the maps wind up in some small quarters area. I mean serioulsly! Where does everyone wind up on Construct? At the very top! The Pit? Veryone goes for the "Sword Room"! Snowbound? The underground cave where the Shotgun lies is the gathering place!!

Imo Bungie dropped the ball with these first Halo 3 maps. Hopefully the ones we get via DLC will be much better!

I don't think they're terrible, some more fun the others. But what really sticks out is the suckiness of snowbound, whenever it shows up, the vetoes go crazy.juicenpancakes

I liked the Halo 2 maps better but Iwill play anything Bungie can throw at me. On Snowbound I don't mind the level stickies are great!

I just don't like Construct, it pales in comparison to the other more open maps. Maybe I'm just claustrophobic.

Everything else is fine, just to certain degrees.

My favs are Narrows and Last Resort, least favs are Sandtrap and Isolation

i dont think they are the BEST but i like'em. when the new ones come out it will be fun, the rumor is that they will be released 27 hours between halloween

i do agree with you that the halo3 maps aren't the best out of the 3. The halo3 maps though have some good levelsbut not as many as the otherones.I also hate when u do matchmakinghow if you veto a map it will choose a new map and the game type at random and you can't veto it.

I like the maps that arent two bases across an open field from one another. my favorite map in halo 3 is guardian because its small and hectic.

my favorite map in 2 was turf by far. MORE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS

i think that they should not mess around with the layout and the environment of the remakes. high ground does not resemble blood gulch because high ground is asymetrical. Also gardian would have been better if it looked like lockout with the snow and the feel of it. last resort is a good remake though.

i havent played online with the first 2 and i only played a couple offline multiplayer games on halo 2 so i cant say if they are the best yet or not

i personally love snowbound, construct, sandtrap, and especially gaurdian,

i hate epitaph, isolation

the others im 50/50 on

i hate VIP no matter what map its on

I can't say I agree. I like the Halo 3 maps, and the "gathering places" the TC mentions are a bit of an overgeneralization. Yeah, people tend to go for the shotgun first on Snowbound, but to be honest I can see this dying out. During the beta, everyone went for it and prowled the underground area looking for easy kills. Over time, we learned to avoid that area if we didn't have the shotgun, forcing the shotgun wielder to come up top where his power weapon was pretty useless.

Same for the sword room on The Pit. People will learn new strategies that don't involve relying on having the sword. Over time, you will see people abandon strategies that were initially successful, and new hotspots on each map will develop.
