I used to HATE Sidewinder (just ask Crater :P), but now it's one of my favourites just because it's one of the most challenging driving maps.

I voted Infinity, not because it's boring, but because I can never ever seem to get a lap time under 100 seconds. Even after 2 years of racing.... :-\ :embarrassed: :LOL:

Also, I love Gephyrophobia so much that I actually know how to spell it. ;D

Danger Canyon.  I get killed way too many times...and it gets frustrating when your next nav is right behind a wall that you have to drive 300 meters around.

Plus, as a BFM, I can only take the tunnels if my next nav is the score nav.  So if I spawn at red base, and my next nav is at blue base, I'm screwed, cause I have to walk until I find a hog.

You blame me?  Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

Death Island seems the least challenging...that's my choice for worst.

I like Infinity even though it can get boring. Trying to get under 100 makes it fun. Gunning isn't too bad if you have a rocket hog. At least you can try to get that lucky shot on some poor soul.

Ice Fields for me.  Way too easy to get ambushed with no room to maneuver  and not see it coming (which makes it difficult to admin sometimes).  Too easy to get caught on the ice after the slightest bit of contact with anything, which leaves you vulnerable to attack.  Chain hogs are absolutely useless to defend or attack with.

On a brightener note, my bridge flips are getting better (up to about 50-60% success rate).

Death Island!! everyother map has good strategy ans such behind it, but for Death Island, your dead if your team does badly off the start, in which case its just a long time driving in circles(I think I know how those Nascar people feel lol)

The map I have most trouble with is.... well I dont have much trouble with any maps. The ones i get the lowest map time is either sidewinder or icefields. I havent tried for best lap time in ice fields lately, so idk how bad that lap time is. But the worst map to race on, in my opinion, is Danger Canyon because of constant camping and a very high # of kills for everyone.

Tough one.  I said Ice Fields primarily because of the bridge jump and the associated ice below.  Oddly, I don't have trouble with ice on Sidewinder.  Infinity isn't too far behind due to camping/nading at start.  I've found that the monotony on Infinity and Death Island are helped a lot when set for Any Nav (on non-BFM servers).

Have to add an FYI here for you and other folks in a similar situation:

Gephyrophobia is BY FAR the LARGEST Halo PC map there is!  It might not LOOK like it to Racers, but there's a HUGE area up on top, and with all the walls of The Pit, etc., that makes for a LOT of object surfaces (actually, they're all surface triangles...)  

SO, if you have a graphics card that's juuust at - or even below - the recommended 256MB size - or not DirectX 9.0c-capable (i.e. 3D Transform and Lighting capable,) you'll be getting GRAPHICS LAG on Gephyrophobia ALL the time!

It's a tie to my worst racing maps

Infinity: obvious reasons of boredom and inability to get under 100 sec.

Blood Gulch: if I didn't have so many encounters with really really REALLY annoying idiots on that map it would be a different story

I really dislike Ice Fields for the same reason. If you happen to be rammed or make a driving error on the ice surrounding the second nav - you are easily open to be attacked.

Sidewinder, because of that stupid ramp to get to the second Nav.

If it wern't for the rules, I'd just take the steps up every time.
