Hey guys. I enjoy remaking maps from the old Halo games because usually with a map i spend ages worrying if it's bad or not. With remakes i have the shoulder of the original map to lean on. I want to remake a map but i can't decide which one. So can you tell me what map i should remake? :happy: Rules:- It has to be from Halo CE or Halo 2. - It has to be a map that is not commonly remade. (eg, Lockout, Warlock, etc.) - I will stop the voting in 5 days and whatever map has the most votes, i will do. Thanks in advance for participating.
Honestly, seeing that Reach has been out for over a year I would suggest not doing anymore remakes. Pretty much ALL remakes have been done, and most have been done well. Have you thought about maybe taking a Halo CE or Halo 2 map and doing a re-imagination? Maybe take Damnation, and figure out what you like about the map, and what you dislike and then make those changes? Just a thought.
Why remake Rat Race when MickRaider has a beast one already? Derelict is a less common one. I doubt it's possible, but a good Burial Mounds would be sick!
Personally, I'd like to see people remake maps from other games, then tweak them to fit Reach's play style. However, if you have your heart set on remaking a classic Halo map, I'd love to see Burial Mounds, Collosus or Containment. Not sure any of those would be possible, but they're personal favourites of mine.
I do want to do burial mounds because i like the way the map feels and the way it plays but i can't be bothered until enough people think it would be worthwhile.
I went on youtube and took a look at some gameplay videos on burial mounds and i am impressed. i will definitely be remaking burial mounds. [br][/br]Edited by merge: The remake of Burial Mounds is in progress. I have done the rocket and shotgun spawns and the areas shortly around them. I am going to make one or two changes aesthetically but im aiming to keep gameplay the same as the original.
I haven't seen Terminal from Halo:2 remade before... Maybe it has been? Anyway I believe remaking Terminal would be interesting.
Do your own thing. To copy a map from a different game just shows you have no creativity. It also shows you don't have the ability to construct a good map layout from scratch. Although I like remakes, all of them have been done now so one made by you wouldn't get much download action.
Actually, i remade Blood Gulch and got more than 100 downloads. And it doesn't show that i have no creativity. It shows a skill in being able to use forge peices to accurately recreate something years old. And i don't think it's a waste remaking maps because not all of them have been done. Maps like Burial Mounds and Terminal are still i dire need of being remade. Burial Mounds is first on my list and then i'll fire into Terminal.
Whatever you do don't remake any maps that are coming out in Halo CE anniversary. Otherwise you will probably get fewer downloads.
im not going to. 343 has already done a better job thn anyone can of remaking some of the greatest maps of all time.
Sorry, i was a bit tired when i found this thread. OT: Infinity, Death island, Containment, Terminal, Uplift (invasion)
Most maps from all Halo games have been done, and done well. However, there is one exception that I know of: Waterworks, from Halo 2. if you can remake that, then I will be a very happy man, as it was one of my favorites from Halo 2 (it's also one of the few maps that hasn't been remade). Failing that, Snowbound is still in need of a good remake. Even if it breaks your rules (****thepolice.jpg).
Death Island might be a fun (and possibly difficult) challenge that will make many forgers "bow" before you I think. Still want to see this map.
lol yes, like a year ago. It has about 14,000 downloads and made it into matchmaking. 100 downloads isn't a lot. And you're right remaking maps is a talent, if you an do it well. Burial Mounds is going to be very difficult to match the terrain, and I honestly don't see this going over well. Hopefully you shock with with accuracy because it would be amazing. Remember, if you can't make a remake almost EXACTLY the same (size/scale, distances the same, ect.) than it's not worth it. Good luck
