Bungie tries their best to remake Halo multiplayer maps from the past two installations of the trilogy, and the only successful map remade was Zanzibar (Last Resort). The Halo 3 versions of Lockout and Sidewinder are near unplayable, and I foresee more classic maps being butchered in the future, because Bungie doesn't stay true to the map's aesthetics and geometry. Now imagine Bungie remaking your old favorites for Halo 3 play. Which ones would you want, if remade? And I mean exact copies, only a higher detailed version. I would personally want Relic. Relic would be beautiful in high definition.
I really want blood gulch/coagulation. Those were one of my favorite maps. Oh the good days... Now I'm going to go play Halo CE on my comp, yay
Avalanche is the ****, I couldn't give a **** if its not at all like sidewiner. Also cold storage is sick, but I agree blackout does fail pretty damn hard. I'd love to see the following maps: Coag/blood gulch. Beaver/Battle Creek, Damnation, Prisoner, Derelict, Midship, Sanctuary, Ascension, and warlock/wizard. Coag/BG, BC/BC, and Warlock, Wiz are top priorities though because they are halo staples. Damnation is an all around sick map, derelict is awesome for FFA, and Prisoner is great for 2v2. I'm sure most of you know the rest of maps pretty well.
Opinions are opinions. What you think is bad, is what someone else would think as awesome. I would have to disagree with you.
coag/blood gulch will never be remade i saw on bungie.net ( supersad face. but prisoner and damnation need to be remade they were sweet.
Avalanche is the greatest anything that anyone ever anything'd. If anything, your post proves we need less remakes. New maps, for the most part, have been well received (- epitaph snowbound isolation).
Boarding action, a number of reasons: 1.The addition of BRs and carbines can mix up gameplay a lot more than standard starts. 2. Amazing forgability. 3. No specific play style, meaning, there is no way to play it right, so it could work in halo 3 just as well as in halo 1.
Guardian is a reimagination, not a remake. It isn't supposed to be exactly like Lockout but similar to it. No, he wants them to do a completely true remake. That would be awesome. Forgewise and gameplay. I'd like to see Foundation, how could they screw that up. Elongation I feel would work with the Halo 3. As would Gemini and Coagulation.
Headlong. I love Headlong, its one of the best maps in the trilogy. Ya also Relic because I like that sunny feeling.
probably battle creek. that is one of my fave maps. halo 3 doesnt really have any good maps, the pit is probably the lesser of many evils. i dont understand how things went so wrong from halo:ce and halo 2, to halo 3.
Unless they get lucky, they're not gonna make a good remake. The speed of H3 and H2 are different, and it affects the feel of the map. They tried making Blackout bigger than Lockout, but they failed because they couldn't find the perfect size. Avalance failed because, well, lets face it, only kids who just bought the game like riding around in vehicles for 12 minutes. Unless they can figure out a way to convert the two speeds of the different games into a certain measurement, than there won't be any good remakes. I'd prefer if they just try to come up with whole new ideas. I'd like the see Midship remade, but I also wouldn't want to see it remade. I don't want to see it hated by everyone due to the fact it just doesn't play well
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Even though BTB will be out of MM, it would be great to have an epic 8v8 custom game on a remake of Boarding Action.
If you think about it, there are SOOO many great maps from the first and second games to do exact recreations of.. for Halo 2 I could think of Midship Ascension Colossus (I am sorry, but I loved this map, also, maybe my memory is fuzzy, but it featured map changes, with the removal of the middle bridge for some gametypes like CTF) Burial Mounds (great with Team Snipers)
Good remakes would be Midship, Battle Creek, maybe Rat Race and Prisoner. And my all time favorite Hang 'Em High. But I don't think remakes are the best options, i would truly like totally new maps.
