    I'm looking for the most accurate Halo 3 map remakes in Reach Forge history. I'm especially looking for remakes that have the exact same weapon locations, spawns, and gametype settings as the original. I know there are hundreds of H3 remakes out there, but I'm looking for the best of the best of the best for my collection.

    If someone can post me some links, that will be great.

    PS: Please don't post a map just because you made it, unless you trully believe yours is the best.

    Thanks.

    EDIT: Didn't Forgehub have an archive at one point where you could search for maps alphabetically?

    Have you played the Pit variant in MLG? Its not 100% accurate, but easily between 90-95%. And it plays better than all of the others by leagues.

    Ahh, interesting you said that. I just recently revised that map to match H3 settings. That's the map that started my collection, lol. I did find one better one, but it had frame rate issues so I stuck with MLGs version.

    Yes, we do have an archival feature. Even better, if you browse our map database, the top-right corner lets you search by name. You can even specify the Remake tag, actually.

    Turns out Longshore is just a preview, but I'm trying to get him to release it. He made the best remake of it I have ever seen, working doors and all.

    I'm looking for Halo 3 maps too, and I can't find the "Remake" button in search...

    TimmyPanics maps are impressive, thanks, Timmy!

    I'll check out the maps listed in this thread too...

    very few maps are remade often enough to have a jewel among them (construct, guardian, etc) but often times, If you want a good remake, you usually have to mod a pre-existing one. (i'm still looking for a good sidewinder and death island remake)

    If you would like, I can give you a good list of excellent remake maps (both game-play wise and aesthetically)

    *note, every one looks for different things in a remake, few are universally agreed upon as all-around amazing maps, your best bet is to look for any maps you can find, and narrow it down (if you have the originals, you can use those for comparison, otherwise internet pics are helpful)
    Also, A list of what I personally consider the best (i'm sure that I missed a few)

    Your links don't work man :(
    Probably fix the dots part.

    Either way, here's an awesome Lockout remake:

    Just start up Reach on your xbox, press the start button and go to New custom search. Then, type in the gamertags of the creators of the maps above. Hopefully all of them still have the maps in their fileshares...
    It's awkward but until 343i releases the new "Bungie.net", this is the only way to download maps.

    I hate to advertise my own map (and I hope this isn't considered that) but I have been working on a remake of Waterworks from Halo 2. As far as I can tell, it is the only remake of that map that offers both aesthetics and playability. Out of necessity, it's ore of a re-imgaination, but it plays well. Hopefully I'll be releasing it soon.

    Anyway, here is the map preview
    ...


    And here is the latest version of the map.
