Lethul lost a 1v1 on Lockout against Snipedown in a showmatch and is still traumatized. Midship, Lockout, and Sanctuary are my top 3 for greatest maps of all time.
Not a competitive map, but my favorite of all time is CE’s “Hang ‘em High”. 1v1 snipers with full-on screen cheating (shared xbox) is how I fell in love with the game…
I have to say, I am surprised that nobody said Beaver Creek at all. I always thought that was a pretty good competitive map and a classic that never returned to halo. Lockout, Midship,/Heretic/Truth Sanctuary, Warlock right from the get go. Chill Out, Damnation, Prisoner, and Hang Em High were great in CE. I love Plaza and Coliseum in H5. Recharge is a pretty good map I have to agree with that. I'd love to see them bring back the favorite maps from each halo, it seems like there is enough agreement between the community on which maps are the favorites from each of the games.
Its because too many of the people in the video are h3+ players. CE had some amazing maps (Chill Out, Damnation, Prisoner, Rat Race, Battle Creek, etc), but unless you started playing with CE or maybe H2, you're not going to know of those older maps
@@joecosta117 Yeah, that's true. That makes me realize how old I really am. But some of them clearly did play h2 at least. I just feel like it's totally forgotten cause it never got remade ever again or something.
@@Jellae I mean, I guess? I am trying to remember, sometimes people spawned bottom middle? Maybe that's what you are referring to? I am not sure it was worse than narrows where you spawn cannon or flag with a sniper top middle ripping your face off from spawn. Plus, that was pretty rare compared to base spawns and back base, but I will say, red side definitely had a little bit of an advantage. But so is the case with most maps, beats spawning with a stalker rifle on one side of the map and not the other, or not in the middle I suppose.
1. The Pit from H3 2. Recharge from Halo Infinite 3. Live Fire from Halo Infinite. 4. Guardian from H3 5. Lockout from Halo 2 I know the popular thing is to hate on Infinite, but it has some really good maps
Halo is such a great game that we can have these warring cultish opinions about maps WITHIN the game’s world and not even remember that it’s all good Halo. Halo is that good! ❤😂
1. Blood Gulch/All Versions 2. Valhalla/All Versions 3. Hang ‘Em High/All Versions All my picks stem from enjoyment factor as Halo was anyways meant to be FUN. Competitive-focused maps were never really my thing.
And great BTB maps too. Small, medium, and large H2 had it all. If I had to list the good/great Halo 2 maps Id damn near be listing all of them. Halo 2 is probably why Im such a critic when it comes to 343 maps.
Favorite maps would be: 3: Narrows 2: Guardian 1: The Pit The ones I´ve had most fun with friends tho: 3: Beaver Creek 2: Lockout 1: Battle Creek Honorable mentions: 3: Chill Out 2: Hang 'Em High 1: Blood Gulch
1. Lockout 2. Midship/Heretic/Truth 3. Coliseum Halo Infinite definitely needs a Lockout remake. I still don’t understand why they are not just using UneeQ’s Lockout remake, it’s perfect
I don't understand why 343 just doesn't start out with adding CLASSIC maps and weapons into the game. I thought Halo Infinite was to be something to unite all Halo fans: Bring back classic Halo style but in a modern format. I don't know how to explain it. But why not bring back these maps that everybody seemed to love? Why not also bring back all the weapons everybody used to love? Magnum, Carbine, DMR, et cetera. Now we have the Bandit rifle which is some sort of Halo 5 magnum but worse disguised as a DMR with no scope. Just start with all the classic and expand from that point!
Lockout, Midship, Sanctuary and all their remakes. They havent made a GREAT map since sprint and clamber were introduced. Headlong is my most underrated map. Would be prime for a remake in BTB
Mikwen had it right. Sanc, Midship, Lockout are all GOATs of comp Halo and but your CORE Halo memories were made on the BTB maps like Headlong, Burial Mounds, Blood Gulch, even Terminal and shit etc..
@@joerowland2625 okay awesome...no shit. Still doesn't say it in the title, description, or video that it has to be competitive based. Mikwen himself said one that isn't. Other commenters did the same. I went with those purely off the basis that I had good memories on. If you're so hung up on it just ignore the ones that weren't used in competitive...not hard...not worth commenting over

I think Lockout is a good, but not great map.
Lockout is best map. Guardian is great rendition of it
@@jakeprivate Explain?

Hang ‘em high aka gangster city was definitely a competitive map
I hate to say this but Bazaar is in my personal top 3 maps of all time
@@pizzaplanetalien5079 idk about top 3 but I really wish they didn’t take out bazaar flag. Slayer can go tho lol
I think Lethul is going through a mid-life crisis. He doesn't seem to like much of anything.
Why he hating so much 😂
Yea they didn’t need his commentary in this. Was cringey.
😂
He hates everything lol
Lockdown does suck.
Live fire actually plays well competition wise

Maybe because beaver creek had the worst spawns out there

It came back in halo reach as battle canyon
1. The Pit from H3
2. Recharge from Halo Infinite
3. Live Fire from Halo Infinite.
4. Guardian from H3
5. Lockout from Halo 2
I know the popular thing is to hate on Infinite, but it has some really good maps
Recharge and Live Fire are nice but to put them in the top 3 Halo maps of all time is absurd.
Not top 3, but I really liked Zanzibar.
Zanzibar and subsequently Last Resort were such goated maps for BTB social.
Same, Zanzibar was so much fun to play
Love the legacy. Thank you guys for continuing the love for Halo. It means a lot!
The Lethal narrative in this video was hilarious! Great editing. Also, Walshy.
The outro from Dave Walsh was so good that I subscribed. What a legend
We can disagree all we want on the best maps, as long as we all agree that Halo is the best game ever made.
Halo is such a great game that we can have these warring cultish opinions about maps WITHIN the game’s world and not even remember that it’s all good Halo. Halo is that good! ❤😂
plaza, coliseum, and rig from h5 are goated
1. Blood Gulch/All Versions
2. Valhalla/All Versions
3. Hang ‘Em High/All Versions
All my picks stem from enjoyment factor as Halo was anyways meant to be FUN. Competitive-focused maps were never really my thing.
Why are the watching the halo Esports if you don't like halo competitive
@@joerowland2625 I don't watch Esports, in general, I've never heard of these people or their teams. My picks are strictly enjoyment based.
#1 Lockout
#2 midship
#3 sanctuary
#4 warlock
#5 recharge
Honorable mentions pretty much all of the CE maps.
The Pit, Midship/Heretic, and Guardian
Halo 2 has the best maps by far. Lockout, midship, warlock, sanctuary are the king of competitive halo maps.
And great BTB maps too. Small, medium, and large H2 had it all. If I had to list the good/great Halo 2 maps Id damn near be listing all of them. Halo 2 is probably why Im such a critic when it comes to 343 maps.
1:30 Walshy had the best clip 😂
Favorite maps would be:
3: Narrows
2: Guardian
1: The Pit
The ones I´ve had most fun with friends tho:
3: Beaver Creek
2: Lockout
1: Battle Creek
Honorable mentions:
3: Chill Out
2: Hang 'Em High
1: Blood Gulch
Lockout, Midship, and the Pit. All safe bets.
1. Lockout
2. Midship/Heretic/Truth
3. Coliseum
Halo Infinite definitely needs a Lockout remake. I still don’t understand why they are not just using UneeQ’s Lockout remake, it’s perfect
Because Lockout is small for halo Infinite
Pro players hate Uneeq Lockout
No offense to Uneeq
@@joerowland2625 what about a scaled remake? Cliffside is very good too, basically a scaled Lockout reimagined in Banished aesthetic
Walshy at the end is mad funny
Lockout, Warlock and Eden are my favorite maps.
I was waiting for someone to say Guardian😂. Almost had me lose faith
Guardian isn't the only halo map that's exists
Idk if it didn't get any love because it was a forge map, but Onslaught Flag was so much fun. In my top 3 with Midship and Construct.
Are you European. Do you want to play Halo 3 MLG in 2023?
The pit and gaurdian. I'm an h3 kid lol. Also recharge is excellent on infinite
Middy, Lockout, The Pit
My top 3 off the top of my head in no particular order:
The Pit
Construct
Narrows
Narrows, Guardian, and Construct were some of the best competitive maps that been played through out the years
They were such downgrades compared to what we had in Halo 2
@@TheShapingSicknessL
Halo 5 getting love let’s go! ✊🏽❤️
The Pit, Narrows, Midship
Lockout, Sanctuary, Warlock and Guardian 💚
Hey I know that guy!
Midship, Sanc and Lockout.
Also Headlong, Construct, Beaver/Battle Creek.
My top is Truth from halo 5 it is basically midship but I love it on 5
H2 Sanc, H2 Midship, H3 Pit
The Pit, all time favorite for me
CE: Blood Gulch, Damnation
H2: Lockout/Ivory Tower/Ascension/Sanc/Midship
H3: Guardian
Reach: Reflection/Pinnacle/Zealot
Infinite: Live Fire
Lockout, Midship, and any other Halo 2 map ... Sanctuary, ivory tower, Beaver creek, warlock, ascension
Hilarious that i still share most of these picks. 3. Onslaught 2.midship 1. sanctuary
I don't understand why 343 just doesn't start out with adding CLASSIC maps and weapons into the game.

I made some of these maps on my channel, good memories, i still play MCC.
Competitive Arena:
1. Mercy/Haven
2. Plaza
3. Pitfall/The Pit/Empyreon
4. Shrine/Sanctuary
5. Truth/Heretic/Midship
BTB:
1. Waterworks
2. Echoes
3. Viking/Ragnarok/Valhalla
4. Crossbow
5. Bloodline/Coagulation/Blood Gulch
I completely agree. Lockout is the greatest halo map of all time.
1) Hang Em High from CE 2) Warlock H2 3) Epitaph
I always loved hang ‘em high so many memories of 4v4 with the boys on that map
Guardian
Great piece of content, more of this please!
Bro halo has so many legendary maps
The Pit, Narrows, Battle/Beaver Creek...i second Lethul on Lockout
Yes I loved Guardian omg and PIT
Chasm Halo infinite, Warlords H2A, Zealot HR, Penance HR, Battle Canyon HR, Haven H4, Standoff H3
Standoff and Chasm aren't competitive maps
Glad to see a little bit of Recharge love. Definitely the best of the Infinite maps.
im not a competitive player but my top 3 favoites maps are hang 'em high, zanziber, and powerhouse.
Give me Pit, Midship all day and my 3rd can be between so many other. I really enjoyed H5 maps, I loved Coli, Rig, Plaza for sure
Truth plaza and coliseum are the best halo maps and I'm almost 30 been playing halo my whole life.
I feel the best BTB map that gets the LEAST amount of love is Waterworks in Halo 2.
Lockout, Midship, Sanctuary and all their remakes. They havent made a GREAT map since sprint and clamber were introduced.
Headlong is my most underrated map. Would be prime for a remake in BTB
Headlong wasn't a competitive map
Mikwen had it right. Sanc, Midship, Lockout are all GOATs of comp Halo and but your CORE Halo memories were made on the BTB maps like Headlong, Burial Mounds, Blood Gulch, even Terminal and shit etc..
Zealot, plaza, guardian. In no specific order.
Lots of great opinions and suggestions here and I guess Lethul is in this video too.
Lockout, The Pit, Narrows
Zanzibar/Last resort, Hang ‘Em High and High Ground deserve to be on this list!
This is competitive maps
High Ground, Zanzibar/Last Resort aren't competitive maps
High ground might be the worst ever halo map lol
@@SuperWholeMilk Somebody’s ghost kept getting lasered 😂😭
@@coryt93 umm no I’m not a vehicle bitch. Any time one team spawns with a massive advantage, that map is objectively bad
@@coryt93 No your just bad at the game
High Ground is a bad competitive map
Sanc, Warlord, and maybe guardian/zenith or some halo 5/infinte maps are good
Zenith was never a competitive map
@@joerowland2625 literally everyone kn the video and in the comments is adding maps that weren't competitive
@@joerowland2625 the prompt doesn't even explicitly say "competitve"
@@noahlocke9302 This is on The Halo Esports channel

That's Competitive

Lol I also hate lockout, buy mostly because 4-stacks just lock you down 50-~4
Says a lot that almost all the maps were Halo 2 and 3 originally. Lockout, Sanctuary, and Pit for me I think.
Narrows, Guardian, The Pit and High Ground are goated
Not High Ground
The other 3 are
Narrows, but just cause i would grav jump back and forth the whole time
Pit hands down the best map of all time.
PIT HANDS DOWN THE BEST
1. Sanctuary
2. Zanzibar
3. Lockout
Walshy 😂
Lethul, shutup.
And PLAZA, TRUTH/Midship AND WARLOCK! (aPG you right!!) The best! 😂
Lethul shouldn't shut up
Lethul is the GOAT
Lethul is the villain of halo pros
Guardian
The Pit
Sanctuary
Chill out, chill out and chill out
Midship, Warlock, Plaza ez
The Pit
Guardian
Blood Gulch
Pit, Sanc, Midship
Everyone naming halo old maps because Halo, 2, 3 are the best. Everything else BARELY mentioned 😂😂
Coliseum
Standoff, Rat's Nest, Skyline
1 Plaza
2 Guardian
3 Catalyst😊
any lockout version, halo 4 haven and any midship version for me. id also toss in blood gulch and halo reach forge world (ik i cheated with that one)
Loving this content! Please keep it coming.
Uhm FYI Walshy, I was subscribed already..? And I do love this content.
this is super easy. midship, lockout, and then the pit from h3
The lack of Hang'em high has me upset.
Recharge is the best Infinite Map
Great video
So many good maps
Lethul’s parts are making me lose braincells. Still love him though.
"Pizza? Ah I fucking hate that shit"
How. Hating Pizza is seen as racist in Italy
Chill Out
Prisoner
Construct
lol Mikwen the only other weirdo that loved Construct too
The Pit three times
Based on remakes alone midship and blood gulch have to be up there.
WARLOCK!
Everyone always sleeps on ascension….. but narrows has grown over time to be one if my favs n pit will always be a top 3 💯
They don't sleep on Ascension. And thats because it's bad
LethuLs banter lol
Dave made me sub
Sanctuary > Midship > Chill Out
Valhalla and avalanche not even getting an honorable mention is sad
Vahalla and Avalanche aren't halo competitive maps
Maps used to look so much better
