Standoff (originally released for Halo 3 and remade for Halo 5) is one of those Halo maps that is incredibly versatile, working well with different modes and team sizes. The bases provide a great opportunity for close-quarters engagement, with nice wide-open spaces giving you a chance to cruise around with the vehicles that lie just outside.

PTearGriffin444 and The4bidnFish have fused the classic Standoff with its Halo 5 remake while also expanding upon it a bit with their Standoff Forge remake. The result is a nice combination of old and new school. I was never sure if I liked Halo 5’s remake, but this Forge recreation proves that it offers a lot more aerial and vertical opportunities than I originally thought. This remake also adds two new bases and, yes, has working buttons to drop the windows and open the tunnel doors of the main ones.
