Competitive Maps
Anchor 9
Boardwalk
Boardwalk is usually found on the Team SWAT playlist, as it yields the perfect environment for sniping.
Boneyard
Boneyard is a large map meant for Invasion. A balanced loadout is best; the terrain of the map can change at a moments notice.
Breakpoint
Countdown
Countdown is a great map for small groups of players. It is very, very confined, and it is very easy to be cornered. The key to victory here is to stay on the move and watch your back.
Forge World
An immense map made for Forge, it is an empty expanse of lush natural landscape. It is located on a Halo installation. Though the entire map is essentially useless outside of Forge, Bungie Forged their own maps in sections of this map, which are playable in matchmaking.
Asylum
Atom
Cliffhanger
Hemorrhage
An accurate remake of the famous Bloodgulch, Hemorrhage is great for big-team games like Invasion Slayer.
Paradiso
A huge map reminiscient of Sidewinder, it is great for Invasion Slayer. A wide open map, it is best to use medium to long range weapons like the DMR or Needle Rifle, combined with Armor Abilities like Sprint or Evade.
Pinnacle
A remake of Ascension from Halo 2, Pinnacle is a Sniper's dream. It has no shortage of places to sit and pick off unsuspecting foes, but they like to change hands quickly, so have a teamate watch your back.
The Cage
Powerhouse
Powerhouse works well with almost any number of players. Slayer is the best gametype here, as it's layout accommodates most weapons and loadouts.
Reflection
Spire
Spire is a large map found in Invasion and Big Team Slayer. Spire requires players to engage enemies at long and close range equally, so choose loadouts carefully. The giant spire for which the map is named can be tricky to get down from without falling to your death; you must jump onto one of several structures which will catch you in an anti-gravity field. But you must aim carefully!
Sword Base
Sword Base is a tight, confined map. It has 3 levels, and is split down the middle by a large open area. It is a poor choice to linger in this open space, as you will be easy prey for snipers.
