    So, yesterday I picked myself up a copy of Halo 2 for the PC since it's been ages since I've played it last, and while playing through I realized something, that many of the spaces inside of the first level, Cairo Station, would make amazing multiplayer maps in Reach with just a few tweaks. So, I had an idea: to forge different parts of Cairo Station in Reach for multiplayer use.

    For the most part I'm thinking of making standard multiplayer maps, for use with slayer and other normal gametypes, but I'm also thinking of making a map intaling a much large portion of the station for an Invasion map.

    I've already begun working on the 1st of these maps, based on this part of the level, and personally I think it's going really good, and making me want to do more.

    So, Forgehub, tell me, Do you think this is a good idea or naw?

    Yes!

    I need to go back and play through Halo 2 again. It's been a long time.

    If you can make it accurate, then it would be successful and absolutely epic

    I had the same idea, in the exact same place. But I'd never finish it, so I guess this is for the best. Good luck!

    Well, I love campaign inspired maps (Cargo Port!) so I think this is an excellent idea. I was actually thinking about making that area at some point, but oh well. No need now I guess. Good luck, can't wait to see the maps.

    Parts of Cairo station would make some great multiplayer maps, But then again there are very few sections from Halo 2's campaign that I wouldn't want to see as full multiplayer maps. So I would fully support this idea.

    And I have been working on a part of the campaign as well, the opening section of Outskirts to be specific. Its slow work and I've had to tweak a few things but not much else I can do with out live for now.

    Cool, thanks for the input. I'm nearing completion of the actual building part of the map (actually laying down blocks, not weapons and stuff), I'll post it here when I'm finished.

    I was thinking of doing that beginning part of outskirts too, looks like I'm not the only one with that idea :)

    It does sound like a good idea. Could be a great: invasion map, slayer map, and infection map. Of course you would have to design it so that it would possess the spirit of
    cairo station while being easy to move around. :)
