I think it has to do with the fact that Bungie went out of their way to make Halo have its own identity when it came to how the game looked. Forerunner and Covenant items and locations dont really have a real-world equivalent to compare it to so since the textures and modeling are so unique, they look better as a result. I also think they look as lovely as the day they released.

Personally, I always had a special love for the DLC maps of Halo 2. I always thought they looked really pretty, and It's a bit of a shame some of them are favored in MCC matchmaking over others. But if I had to choose a map, Forge World easily takes the cake for being such a charming and relatively diverse forge map as opposed to the very flat Sandbox, Foundry, or Forge Island. It gives newer forgers something to start with when there is built in terrain and whatnot, as opposed to starting from scratch which is what I think made it perfect. that mentality of "hey this cave is cool, lets make something in it"

Halo 4's Perdition is probably my favourite map for vehicles. Specifically, the situation where there's that one vehicle that's really dominating you.

Id have to say that *Lockout* from Halo 2 is byfar one of the most iconic maps not just in Halo, not just for Xbox, not just for FPS's, but ALL games in history. That map created many pro gamers to this day who spent many many hours lurking the corners and turns of the all too familiar BR and Snipe Towers, and then throwing your cards down, chips all in, and thrusting yourselves in the middle to have the ultimate face off in the middle propelling off the platforms to the ultimate high noon showdown while your teamates spawn fuck the enemy underneath you in the "basement" of the level. Iconic just doesn't even fully describe it

I actually really enjoy Standoff for Objective based games and Rat's Nest for really anything. Standoff is one of the few btb maps without a sniper to dominate it, and I feel like it plays out almost like a series of trenches, where people take cover and scoot between rocks, while lobbing grenades over the hills. It plays very differently to other maps, but I feel like it's one of the few maps where the warthog is really able to shine, and requires some good coordination. Rat's Nest on the other hand is just stupid fun for me. The warthog lanes run around the entire map, and there's just something about driving around it that activates my neurons. All the while, the meat grinder in the center is where the true battle takes place, and you've got to choose whether you risk running on the outer ring to go for a flank, or if you hang on the outside and wait to catch anyone trying to sneak by. I don't know, it can just be played so many different ways and I enjoy it. That said, glad to see you mention Terminal and Waterworks. I love the bases on Waterworks with multiple levels, the vehicle selection, and how they interact with the terrain, especially the bridges extending from both bases to the center that create some fun cross-fire. And Terminal, well I love the train.

Is it just me but while watching this video, the gameplay took a huge shift from halo 1-3 to halo reach 4-infinite. I knew the gameplay was always different but in this it made me realize what. In the first the gameplay was much more chaotic, grenades flying around, different types of weapons being, on btb maps so many more vehicles and chaos. While after reach, the gameplay turned into just using dmr, br, sniper. everything was ranged, barely any weapon diversity, barely any grenades, everything was really precise. It was just really noticeable for me. Now people can prefer whichever style they want and all the power to them but just sucks when the style you prefer changes.
