A map created specifically with the MLG in mind, Onslaught is a Forge map that has solidified in the MLG's Halo 3 Gametypes. With its sparse cover points and relatively small size, Onslaught can become very chaotic in a Capture the Flag match.
This is one of the three Mythic maps added to Halo 3, in addition to Assembly and Sandbox. Orbital is a medium sized map, perfect for 4v4 games.
A firefight map in Halo: Reach. It is based on an area from the campaign level Winter Contingency.
A revised version of the Halo 3 map The Pit, Pit Stop is "The Pit with inaccessible spawn hives," according to Bungie. This map was created by Bungie themselves and will coexist with The Pit in Matchmaking, not replace it.
A multiplayer map in Halo: Reach, based around a hydroelectric plant on planet Reach.

The planet that was the headquarters of the UNSC military, and the training ground of the SPARTAN-IIs, second only to Earth herself in terms of defensive measures and protection. Despite this, Reach's defences were utterly destroyed and the planet itself glassed by the Covenant in an infamous surprise invasion known as the Fall of Reach.
Reflection is map set in a skyscraper in region of New Alexandria. It is a remake of the fan favorite Halo 2 map Ivory Tower.

A revised version of the Halo 3 map Sandtrap, Sand Tarp removes Elephants completely and changes the default flag spawn point in One Flag from the crypt to the downed Albatross, making these games actually possible. This map will coexist with, not replace Sandtrap in Matchmaking.
Sandbox is part of the Mythic map pack that was added to Halo 3. Sandbox is a large map, built for big team games and is described as a "forger's paradise" in terms of its tiered structure.

A multiplayer map from Halo: Combat Evolved located on Installation 04. This large map is built in a horseshoe shape and uses a snowy aesthetic.
A love-it-or-hate-it map, Snowbound is notorious in Halo 3 for its many spaces to get spammed by a Shotgun or Mauler, grenades getting stuck in the snow causing them to miss their targets, and its too-open outside layout, although most players stay indoors. This map's appearance is usually accompanied by obscenities or the word "veto."
Space, the Final Frontier, the focal point and main location of space faring games, from Asteroids to the Mass Effect series.
A stationary or geosynchronous facility located in space, engineered for habitation.

The location in Halo 3 where the latter half of the game takes place. Acts as a master control station for all the Halo installations
