What Stock Map do you think has the Best Gameplay?

Prisoner. Good luck getting a general opinion out of this though - everyone has different ideas on what makes a good map.

For big vehicle/ctf maps I'd say Death Island is my favorite, for large-scale team slayer matches, Hang Em High, for smaller 1v1, 2v2 slayer, Chillout

I'd be on the Damny bandwagon as well if someone hadn't gone and ruined it for me.

I personally like Infinity, but it's too damn big. 16 players is just barely enough for it, but playing it effectively requires teamwork; something the average pub scrub fails at.

Chill Out is a fucking grenade spamfest, as is Rat Race. Worst goddamn maps to play on if the server op turned on infinite grenades.

Chiron is fucking awesome once you realize how the layout works, which is something the average Halo player can't be assed to do.

Sidewinder is good imho.

I find playing race on Chiron is a good way to learn the layout (and how it's all fucking next to each other, that blew my mind lol).

Favourite default maps?
I actually liked KoTH on Damnation as well as All vehicles on deathisland. Sidewinder is fun too, and icefields was nice.
For small maps, I actually can't remember any of their names lol

Have none of you looked at Blood Gulch lately? There's no 'symetry' whatsoever to it.

Have you look at it recently?
There is a base one side a identical base the other side, there is a teleporter in one base leading to the middle there is one on the other base, each side has a cave which lead to the middle.

Derelict, Wizard and Battle Creek are symmetrical maps. Just because Blood Gulch has similar elements on each side doesn't mean it's symmetrical :\ One base has an obvious advantage over the other (whoever can camp the tele on the hill - I forget).

I didn't say it was exactly symetrical i said it was balenced and i pointed out what i ment by that.

The topography of the map makes it very one-sided, however. The hill next to the red teleporter exit usually leaves blue base under constant assault.

Only when people scramble for the sniper rifle and dont bother taking the person on the hill.

uhhh no.
blood gulch is the worst over played map of all time. yeah its fun, but it gets tiresome, and once you relize how much of an advantage red has with the hill, it takes alot away from it. there's absoultley no cover almost and if the kid thats on the hill knows what he is doing, then your doomed.
