The creepy ambient noises combined with the tight, confined spaces make Chiron TL-34 an intense map. This makes for a hectic gamemode that relies a lot on players memorising the map over time, and knowing which rooms are best for defending and which rooms are common spots for ambushes. There are certain gamemodes in the Master Chief Colllection in which this map shines, one in particular being Team Muskets, a gamemode in which every player has a shotgun and no shields.

Its asymmetry, coupled with the fact that every single room is unique, makes for a fascinating map design. However, lovers and haters of this map alike must agree that is has a very interesting design. Chiron TL-34Īrguably the most unique non-Forge map in Halo history, Chiron TL-34 seems to have a very bad reputation among the Halo fan community for its tight spaces, confusing layout and claustrophobic repetition. Clearly they went with what worked, and this has led to some of the best enduring classic maps in the series – but they also tried some crazy multiplayer map ideas, and these are some of the maps we will be covering today.


After all, each and every Halo CE map is unique in its own right, and some of these maps represent the earliest examples of Bungie experimenting with Halo map design. After all, not only did the original release of Halo CE have a fair share of less popular classic maps, there were also some maps added to the original PC port of Halo CE by Gearbox that were slated by fans.Īlthough many of these maps are tried and tested, and have been played to death by Halo fans for years, perhaps there is still something to be said in defence of the maps that many in the community seem to dislike. However, just as we are presented with the joy of experiencing maps like Hang ‘Em High, Blood Gulch and Longest online on the PC once again, we are also faced with the inevitable groans when we are dealt a Halo CE map that is less well-remembered. With the recent release of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary on the PC version of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, many of the old Halo: CE multiplayer maps are being brought back into the spotlight as players dive in to enjoy the ‘new’ multiplayer maps on the PC release of MCC and, for older Halo players, indulge in some classic Xbox nostalgia.
