Halo: The Master Chief Collection - 25 Legendary Maps You Need To Revisit

22. Elongation (Halo 2)

Set on a UNSC freighter, Elongation's most noticeable feature is its two long corridors which make up almost the entirety of the map. A brighter remake of Halo: CE's Longest, Elongation is a tight map which results in heavy action right from the first spawn. There's little cover, aside from gaps in the dividing wall between the two corridors and the boxes being carried through the level by the conveyor belts, so grenades are an amazingly lethal weapon here; they're basically pocket nuclear bombs. According to 343 Industries, six of Halo 2's maps will be receiving a complete remake in the Master Chief Collection, and Elongation could very well be due an overhaul. It's a perfect map for objective game-types between two small teams (anything more than 4v4 would be insane) and it's definitely worth revisiting this November.

21. Prisoner/Solitary (Halo: CE)

Another vertical map from the first Halo, Prisoner (or Solitary in the Anniversary remake) is probably one of the smallest maps in Halo history. It's made up of one tall room with bridges, walkways and platforms spanning three levels. Right at the top is a sniper spawn which allows you to see nearly the entire map, suddenly making open spaces feel very vulnerable. Slayer is a good game type for this map (if you like fast paced action, anyway); the lower level quickly becomes a warzone as players rain grenades down from above. Team games also work surprisingly well, although friendly fire is a near certainty on a map this small. Of course, you could always create a custom game to really bring chaos to Prisoner - a 16-man Slayer with nothing but Rocket Launchers sound good? Hope you like re-spawning.

20. Midship/Heretic (Halo 2)

A circular map set on a Covenant warship, Midship (or Heretic in Halo 3) is another tight map which features plenty of close quarters combat. The Energy Sword hanging on the arena's highest platform is vital here; gaining control of it can be a massive advantage when the enemy is around every corner. Generally renowned as one of the best maps for Oddball, Midship's three levels encourage you to keep on the move, especially when carrying the skull. There's a real exhilaration to flying around this map while every other Spartan in the game chases you, especially when the next corner you turn around could be your last. Midship or Heretic will definitely be a popular feature in the Master Chief Collection's Lone Wolves playlist.
