#87 - Boarding Action.
#100 - Damnation.
WTF IGN those are fun maps, BA requires skill to play since you can be shot from the other side...

Monolith at 104 is just crazy talk, same with Skyline at 86. I know Halo 4 isn't exactly a fan favorite but god damn, those are 2 of my favorite maps in the whole franchise.
Guardian
Lockout
Monolith
Midship
Avalanche
Burial Mounds
Skyline
Containment
Headlong
Hang 'em High
This would probably be my personal top 10, although probably not in this order.

My Top 5.
Damnation- Love the verticality of the map, the skill jumps and drops, item locations that are very risk/reward, and 1v1 on it is the most tense multiplayer experience out there.
Zanzibar - 1 flag CTF on Zanzi is unforgettable no matter which side you were on. Storming in from the beach or defending the base are both where the necessity of Halo's teamwork seem most balanced and important.
Sidewinder - In my opinion, the best large map in the entire series by a mile, 8v8 CTF is the most fun I've ever had in the franchise, even if the map isn't great at many other modes.
Lockout - I've never been super interested in the MLG-style of play in the series that always gravitates towards the small symmetrical maps, but Lockout is just a perfect small arena-style map that works with just about every mode.
Waterworks - Because of the many ways you could get across the maps, the general dark atmosphere, heavy vehicles, central choke point and the secure bases -- I always felt this was the most rewarding BTB map. It could be played in so many different styles and splitting up your team into mini-squads to try stealth, warthog runs, central sniping, and defense, was always incredibly intense.
Honorable mentions: Turf, Blood Gulch, The Pit, High Ground, Burial Mounds, and Headlong.

I wasn't aware that there were other maps in Halo.
Lack of Blood Gultch mentions makes it really obvious how many people skipped over Halo 1.
legendary map, lockout is awesome

Guardian is definitely my favorite. Everything including the aesthetics are so good. Following that I'm not sure. Hang Em High, Ascension, and Reflection/Ivory Tower are all up there.

I might be an outlier on this, but I thought Epitaph was a great fucking map.

Hang em High for number one.
Hang em high, blood gulch and sidewinder all tied for first

Yep. Some of the reasons they give for not liking certain maps are pretty lame - getting confused on damnation? Really? All that tells me is that they didn't play on that map like ever. It's about as asymmetrical as you can get.
EDIT:
I never enjoyed sidewinder that much, even for it being the only other large scale outdoor map aside from blood gulch. Big map? yes. Great map? no.

My favorite maps.
Halo CE: Blood Gulch/Hang em High (I can't decide)
Halo 2: Lockout/Terminal
Halo 3: Valhalla
Halo Reach: Swordbase
Halo 4: Haven
I think Halo 2 had the best maps.

I know this is blasphemy but I really don't like Midship much.
As long as The Pit is in the top 10, I'll be happy. Top 5 and I'm happier.
Isolation (Halo 3) was the only map I ever hated.

As a BTB only player I put Waterworks on top. God I loved that map. Only one or two of you defending and you see an incoming fully loaded Warthog. It was on. Really enjoyed defending(camping) on that map.
Any site have a list of every map with pics? I'll need pics for the 25% of the names I don't recall.

Blood Gulch and Hang 'Em High better be no. 1 & 2.

You also have the issue when comparing maps from different games, you're also comparing the respective sandboxes.
It really doesn't work but it's quite a nice idea and its something interesting to talk about.
Edit: That'll be why Reach and 4 feature so heavily at the bottom of the list. I mean why the hell is Pitfall, a remake of The Pit so low?

Boarding Action at that position? C'mon IGN.
I had some great 1v1 matches on that map. So much potential for ambushing and long-range pistol shootouts from one side to the other.
