Favourite maps

Having just seen an image of one of the new maps for Halo 3
(http://www.wired.com/images/article/magazine/1509/H3_MP_Guardian_Env4.jpg -
which puts me in mind of Lockdown from H2), and been overcome with more than
a small amount of excitement, I thought it might be interesting to see what
people's favourite (multiplayer) maps are. I'm sure this must have been done
in here before, but I don't think I've ever seen it, so here are 3 of mine.

3. Nowhere (GRAW)
Nice, open map with multiple paths through. Lots of medium range kills, and
plenty of scenery to hide behind. Possibly a bit too easy to end up close to
the enemy spawn when on top in team games, tipping the balance, but this is
only a minor gripe.

2. Lockdown (Halo 2)
From the initial race for the sword in Slayer games, to the frantic,
attacked-from-all-directions, central platform in King of the Hill, this has
to be my favourite map in Halo 2 by a long way. The only downside - the
little platforms by the grav lift that provide a few cheap kills for the
unadventurous.

1. The Ferry (Rainbow Six: Black Arrow)
The most perfectly balanced map for team games I've ever played. I think I
know just about every possible path through this map, and spent many a happy
hour taking opponents out as they emerged from the doors at the opposite end
of the car deck. Beautiful.
