15 Most Legendary Maps In Halo History

Whether it's the music, the enemies, gameplay or even the Red vs. Blue machinima, there have been many, many reasons to fall in love with Halo.

Launching 15 years ago, way back on the original Xbox, it goes without saying that Bungie's premiere shooter changed the landscape of gaming for the better, paving the way for multiple sequels and spin-offs.

For many, the multiplayer alone is so well thought out and perfected, they will spend literally thousands of hours a year playing nothing other than whatever the latest Halo release.

While some maps are forgettable, Bungie's FPS is one of the few games to have many notable memories for gamers. It might've been an epic cross-map sticky grenade kill, an incredible assassination or perhaps a traffic cone bashing a Spartan's skull in - either way everyone has their favourites, but with over one hundred maps in Halo's history, not every one can become legendary.

Which maps are the best of the bunch? Let me know in the comments below, and here are just a few of the finest.

Almost like a Halo Reach Invasion style map, the self-titled High Ground featured a lock-downed base with it's only main route to start off with being a small opening on the right side wall.

However, you could go through the destroyed building on the left as well and go inside the base that way. The main doors could also be opened up permanently by activating the switch in the base. Attacking forces would run up the hill, often to inevitable sniper or turret fire with the nests above the main doors.

Thankfully, to balance things, camouflage was provided for covert actions. A perfect match for 4 vs 4 One Flag CTF.
