    The best thing to start with is get a good, long thorough walkthrough of the CoD 4 map you want to remake. Sketch out the layout of the map and make note of important setups (Eg, how weapon locations should be balanced etc). You need to keep in mind that CoD 4 has very unique gameplay compared to Halo 3, and consider this when developing the new map. Your redesign should be as true as possible to the original, with perhaps a little modification for the gameplay style of Halo 3.

    Getting a few screenshots and printing them (Possible on CoD 4?) could probably be really helpful, to keep you focused on the core design features.

    Make sure you understand how any passages/open areas balance each other, and remember at this point to take special consideration for how H3 plays compared to CoD 4, as this could mean serious playout differences in these setups.

    Best of luck on your recreation, that's about the most I've got for you right now.
